Verse 2

These canals, it seems, they all go in circles

Places look the same, and we're the only difference

The wind is in your hair, it's covering my view

I'm holding on to you, on a bike we've hired until tomorrow

Bridge

Verse 3

If only they could see, if only they had been here

They would understand, how someone could have chosen

To go the length I've gone, to spend just one day riding

Holding on to you, I never thought it would be this clear

(Play intro three times to finish)

Kings of Convenience

Tabbed by Basso De Felice

This is the tab of the main picking of the song (I think of the nylon stringed guitar)

and it is the same for the entire sung part. It might be played with capo at first fret.

The tab is not completely exact (I think that the chords are right but the position could

be different) but is easy to play and it sounds good.
