On Every Page The Tallest Man on Earth
Tallest Man On Earth
On Every Page, from the new album Thereâ??s No Leaving Now
All chords relative to capo
Some odd ones:
E7Sus4 = x20200
Bmin6 = x20100 â?? With these two he moves quickly from the E7sus4 to the Bmin6, and plays
the g string then the b string in each case.
Dsus2/B = x20230
This song has a lot of â??twiddlyâ?? bits on the high e and b strings, revolving around the
3rd and 5th fret I think. These are just the basic chords, but if you play around with
adding stuff on the bottom two strings then I think this is pretty close so far.
Verse
[Am]When you just tell them what [Dsus2/B]I cannot say
G C E7Sus4 Bmin6
when you just shine upon the ghosts along my way
[Am]I drop the game of throwing [Dsus2/B]knives alone
[G]there must be marks on every [C]tree
E7Sus4 Bmin6 FSus2 F E7Sus4 Bmin6
[Am]Only the mayfly used to [Dsus2/B]tell me so
G C E7Sus4 Bmin6
now here is august, drop your weight, just let go
[Am]now midnight sun takes turns with [Dsus2/B]northern lights
G C E7Sus4 Bmin6
will I ever have to feel what those blades were about?
Prechorus
FSus2 F E7Sus4 Bmin6
(here he goes into the more traditional, alternating bass note fingerpicking style)
[F]In that sound of sighing, t[C]hat empty howl
E7Sus4 Bmin6 Am Am/F
and all the everloving bends in the line of your tries
[F]some ends forgotten and some [C]others believed
E7Sus4 Bmin6 Am Am/F
whatever happened to the boy is now a tale for the seas
Chorus
[F]when you k[C]now youâ??re already[G] young
[F]like the g[C]rass wither to becom[G]e
FSus2 E7Sus4 Bmin6 E7Sus4 Bmin6
again and free,
[Am]itâ??s all weâ??ll ever be
Here he does a lick that he hums over which is based around a G chord, and the 3rd frets
on the B and high E strings
And I think thatâ??s it! Just repeat the verse/chorus bits until the last verse, where he
slows back down into the more flamenco style.
Verse
I donâ??t remember where i learned to dive
but I am humble for the rocks when I try
and somehow I am lowered onto the waves
now with you I feel the sun and the salt on my face
Prechorus
In that sound of sighing, that empty howl
and all the everloving bends in the line of your tries
some ends forgotten and some others believed
whatever happened to the boy is now a tale for the seas
Chorus
when you know youâ??re already young
like the grass wither to become
again and free,
itâ??s all weâ??ll ever be
Slower Verse
The tired motion of the rusty bell
just humming, visitor I quit, go to hell
Iâ??ve been the tower but now walk along
there must be marks on every page
Prechorus
In that sound of sighing, that empty howl
and all the everloving bends in the line of your tries
some ends forgotten and some others believed
whatever happened to the boy is now a tale for the seas
Chorus
when you know youâ??re already young
like the grass wither to become
again and free,
End on Asus2 = x02200
itâ??s all weâ??ll ever be
