This tab is for the acoustic version of Ship of Promises by Villagers from the album Becoming a Jackal. It is transcribed from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=RB1sfcBbczs This tab is only a loose representation of the strumming/picking pattern, you'll have to watch the video to get it perfect. Because he uses multiple versions of the same chord, they are written in tab in the order they appear in the song. I've rewritten them at the start of each new section to avoid confusion. This also allows you to play as you read. This is the first tab I've posted so comments are welcome.

You see a Emask from your window at night, so you C#mwake, and you go outside, and you G#mput it on.
And they tEreat you in a different way, but you C#mcan't understand what they say, after you G#mput it on.

So a G#augchange is never an Eend, cos this is Caug5happening all over G#again. A E D A (6/7) And it's been days since I left on this ship of promises.

Another Eday, another denial, every C#mlonging is up on trial, so you learn to G#mput it on.
E (7p4) As the captian calls everyone in,
To the C#mdancehall and the night begins, you have to G#mput it on.

All these G#augvisions of a welcoming Eparty, pretty Caug5party have been G#lost. A E D A (6/7) Cos it's the same since I left on this ship of promises.

All the Echurches I remember well, Clocking C#min and out to the sound of the bell, we just G#mput it on.
It Etakes you in, and it scrubs you clean, And it C#msantises every dream, and you G#mput it on, you just put it on.

But I'll G#augmeet you inbetEween what I Caug5say and what I G#mean And we will Amake our own Emess on this Dship of promiAses. Cos it's the Asame since we Eleft on this Dship of promiAses. A E D A (6/7) And we just could not care less on this ship of promises.
