Thrice is an amazing band and Dustin Kensrue is a brilliant singer. His acoustic version is very simple, but he adds unique flares, to add to his already remarkable voice in lieu to chords, that only he can pull off. I added minor changes to the outro. I hope you enjoy this tab. ************************************ [Main Chords] You can just use these to play it simple and sing along Em 022000 G 320003 C 032010 Am 002210 D 000232 Bm 224432 [Variations] Do whatever you want with these - have fun C/G 332010 G/B 020003 G* 320033 G** 320000 [Optional Arrangement] G * * * - you'll have to practice this a little but you don't need it - you can just play the G chord e|---------------------| B|---------1-----------| G|---------0-----------| D|-2-------2-----------| A|-2-------3-----------| E|---0-2-3-0-----------| Em C ************************************************* [Intro] Em G*** C/G C/G (x2) [Verse 1] Em G*** C/G C/G Standing knee deep in cold water, swiftly moving Em G*** C/G Somehow, I-knew I'd-lost something oohh...
