---------- The Tallest Man on Earth ---------- --------------- Wind and Walls --------------- ---------- tabbed by ClassicManiac ----------- Alright, this is BY NO MEANS supposed to be an actual representation of what TTMOE does in the album version. I've tried to transcribe this song to Standard Tuning, yet the artist uses an alternate tuning for the real thing. Consequently, my version will differ from the original recording here and there, but I've done my best for those who don't wanna waste a lot of time tuning their guitars. So please take it for what it is: An interpretation. No more, no less. It is still accurate enough to play along the original version. The strumming pattern is pretty important in this song in order to make it sound right. Listen to the song a few times and try playing along, I'm sure you'll get it quickly. Even more, the D chord variations he does really make this song. TTMOE plays around with D major, Dsus4 and Dsus2 almost anytime you see a D chord in here, starting in the intro already. Once again, listen to the recording to get it right. Now hit it and have fun! :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo 4 (to be in key with original recording) (Intro:) D - A - Em - D - A

Well, '^DAll is well in order' is what you t^Ahought you heard them say and ^Emso you drifted off to see what's ^Dnot in your^Aself ^DLight is turning slowly will it ^Alay out on the plains' ^EmNo more nights of what you wrote back ^Dthen, no re^Alief of ^Gno rain ^D ^A

And so, ^Dsinging songs of rivers tied to ^Aaccidents within and ^Emtelling people lies of lions, ^Dtreasures, and ^Akings ^DNothing's more revealing than the ^Adancer and the doubt ^Emwaving to forget what's never ^Dgone, always ^Athere, never ^Gright

^A In all these riots of ^Dbroken sounds ^A Like the last voice you ^Emheard then you ^Adrowned, oh ^Dlord ^A ^Em ^D ^A

You know, ^Dthis is wind and walls and weathered ^Aleaves and tearing sails and ^Emminnows in your pockets when the ^Drapid's on ^Atrails ^Dthis is not the future but I ^Asense it's right up there oh, ^Emjust another hour, another ^Dpass, another ^Aday any^Gwhere

^A In all these riots of b^Droken sounds ^A And you sleep on the ^Emtrack every ^Anight, oh ^Dlord ^A ^Em ^D ^A

^GAnd we don't know if your treasure is safe where will you ^Abe when they ^Dfind you, son' ^Bm And you ^Gknow they're always following me so when I ^Aget there you ^Dtrust me son, and just ^Bmleave, I'll catch ^Aup ^A6 ^A7

^DThis is where you're passionate of ^Aseasons and their strength and ^Emthis is where you breathe and walk and ^Dknow they will ^Aend ^DLight is turning slowly to the ^Ahand upon your chest so ^Emlay it on the plains where there is ^Dtime, there is ^Alove, there is ^Grest

^A From all these riots of ^Dbroken sounds ^A ^EmWhen you sleep on the track every ^Anight, oh ^Dlord ^A ^Em ^D ^A

(Break:) G - A - A6 - G - A - A6

And we ^Gdon't know if your treasure is safe where will you ^Abe when they ^Dfind you, son' ^Bm And you ^Gknow they're always following ^Ame I'll be the best when the ^Dsilence comes.
