BAPTISMS - Radical Face

Tuning: half step down - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb
Short, straightforward song off of the last EP in The Bastard series. Picking pattern is constant throughout
the song and can be played with three or four fingers. I use three, i.e. my pointer and middle finger for
strings G and B, and my thumb for the notes on E, A, and D. The exact notes in the chorus are a little hard
to hear due to the other instrumentation, but I tried my best to make it sound okay. Instead, you could also
strum the chords to give the chorus a fuller sound.
I've included the lyrics with chords at the bottom for an easier play-through.

Song structure:
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
Csus4 C Gsus4 G
Csus4 Back when I used to Cwander,Csus4 I was always out Clooking for Gsigns
Csus4 But they were never Cthere, so I'd pull 'em from the Gair Gsus4 G5
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
We all believed in something, but like you I can't say why
Csus4 It's just a whisper in our Cear, or a bottle for our Gsus4fears G
Am Hold me to the Flight, let meC shine
GCome hold me against the Amfloor, and Fsay it's alCright
GCome hold me 'neath the Amwater's Emskin, till I'm Fnew agGain Gsus4 G5
Csus4 I said what I was CthinkingCsus4, now you can't see what's Cgood till it's Ggone
Csus4 Then there's something to be Csaid, for a place to lay your Ghead Gsus4 G5
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
You told me I was simple, and you envied me that piece of mind
Csus4 And I listened to the Ccreek, and it did much more for Gsus4me G
Am I'll hold you to the Flight, let yoCu shine
I'll Ghold you against the Amfloor, and Fsay it's alCright
'cause Gdown beneath the Amwater's Emskin, where Fwe will Gswim
There's diamonds on the Amsurface Emthen, and they'll come Fclean us
(We'll) both live Gagain Gsus4 G5
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
These days I barely wander, and I don't need no more of them signs
Csus4 C G (strum)
I just breathe in all that air, and be happy that it's there
