Sand in My Shoes Dido
The intro and first/second verse of the song has a simple 1-2-3-4 tab:
e|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B|----1--3--------|----1--3--------|----1--3--------|----1--3--------| G|--0-------------|--0-------------|--0-------------|--0-------------| D|0---------------|0---------------|0---------------|0---------------| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| e|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|----0--2--------|----0--2--------|----0--2--------|----0--2--------| D|--0-------------|--0-------------|--0-------------|--0-------------| A|0---------------|0---------------|0---------------|0---------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
The tabs slightly change during the part right before the chorus:
"I don't have time
e|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|----0--2--------|----0--2--------|----0--2--------|----0--2--------| D|--0-------------|--0-------------|--0-------------|--0-------------| A|0---------------|0---------------|0---------------|0---------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
I don't have time"
e|------0---------|------0---------|----------------|----------------| B|----0-----------|----0-----------|----------------|----------------| G|--0-------------|--0-------------|----0--2--------|----0--2--------| D|0---------------|0---------------|--0-------------|--0-------------| A|----------------|----------------|0---------------|0---------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
I couldn't quite make out the tabs used throughout the chorus - sorry about that!
The following chords can be used throughout the song:
C | G | D
There are four counts each for C and G then a count of eight for D.
I have included the chords for the intro should there be a struggle with the tabs.
The bridge sounds so much better if you strum each chord once before progressing into the standard
strum for the chorus. "/" represents the number of strums or strokes.
Be sure to leave a five star rating if this was accurate for you! I'm more than happy to answer any questions
left in the comment section. Thank you and happy playing!

[VERSE ONE:]
[C]Two weeks away it feels like the [G]whole world should've changed

[C]I think I'll leave it till to[G]morrow to unpack
Try to for[D]get for one more night

Before I [D]knew that I could get on the plane and fly away

To a [D]life where I can watch sunset
And take my [C]time[G]
Take all our [D]time
