I didn't get to figure out the B chord - it's similar to a B7, so I'll assume it's a in any case, it's not minor. Also, the song is in 6/4 - I think that's the best fit, at - but there are a few mixed meter things to watch out for. Lastly, I see no reason not play this in standard tuning, even though I'm sure Thrice does it dropped. (And all the fall over the word they happen on.) Am Dm F G Am Am Dm F G A (major)

I^Am stand on the cliffs with my son next to me; This ^Dmisland our prison, our home. And ^Ameveryday we look out at the sea; This ^Dmplace is all he's ever known.

But ^AmI've got a plan and some wax and some string; Some ^Dmfeathers I stole from the birds. And we ^Amleap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing a ^Dmsong that's too perfect for words.

But ^Fson, please ^Amkeep a steady ^Cwing; [B] You know you're the only one that means anything to me. Steer ^Fclear of the sun, or ^E7you'll find yourself in the ^Amsea

Am Dm F G

Now ^Amsafely away, I let out a cry That ^Dmwe'll make the mainland by noon. But ^AmIcarus climbs higher still in the sky; ^DmMaybe I've spoken too soon.

Oh ^Fson, please ^Amkeep a steady ^Cwing [B] And know you're the only one who means anything to me Steer ^Fclear of the sun, or ^E7you'll find yourself in the ^Fsea

Won't you l^Amook at your ^Cwings? [B] They're coming undone; they're splitting at the seams. Steer ^Fclear of the sun; for ^E7once won't you listen to ^Amme?

[There's a little melodic riff here that repeats for a long time, but I don't do tabs putting the notes would probably just confuse everyone, so moving along...]

Oh ^Fgods, why is this ^Dmhappening to me? All I ^Amwanted was a new life, for my ^Cson to grow up free. And now you ^Ftook the only thing that meant ^Dmanything to me. I will n^Amever fly again; I will ^Chang up my wings

[Repeat]

Oh ^Fgods! ^Dm Am C

[Repeat and fade out] This is an incredible song, and probably my favorite on the entire Alchemy Index. If figures out the B chord, send me an IM on AIM. I'm curious.
