Live - Dolphins Cry guitar tab
Artist: Live
Song: The Dolphin's Cry(Album The Distance To Here)
Tabbed by: John Leadman
If you want to play along with the CD you must tune your
guitar one note (half step) down. Live are always tuned down.
This song is easy. In some places I couldn't really hear if he
used power chords or regular chords.
Saw them play this acoustic and realized that the Asus2
in the verses is wrong. What he's actually playing is Amaj7 (5x665x).
It's easy, it comes right after the C#m chord, you just move your
index finger to the 5th fret on the E string, leave the rest of the
fingers where they are and you've got it. The Asus2 in the Chorus
is correct though, don't use Amaj7 there
CHORDS:
C#m (x46654) C#5 (x466xx)
Asus2 (x02200) A5 (x022xx)
E (022100) E5 (022xxx)
Bsus2 (x24422) B5 (x244xx)
F#* (244x22) F#5 (244xxx)
VERSE 1:
C#m Asus2
The way you're bathed in light, reminds me of that night
C#m Asus2 E Bsus2 C#m
God laid me down into your ro-se garden of trust
Asus2 C#m Asus2
And I was swept away, with nothin' left to say
C#m Asus2 E Bsus2 C#m
Some helpless fool yeah I was lo-st in a swoon of peace
Asus2 C#m Asus2
You're all I need to find, so when the time is right
C#m Asus2 E Bsus2
Come to me sweetly, come to me-ee
F#*
Come to me
ok, in the chorus I'm pretty sure you use power chords. But if
you don't think so, then play C#m instead of C#5, Bsus2 for B5,
F#* for F#5.
CHORUS:
C#5 B5
Love will lead us, alright
F#5
Love will lead us, she will lead us
C#5 B5

C#m Asus2 E Bsus2 C#m
Time in between was just a dre-eam, did we leave this place?
Asus2 C#m Asus2
This crazy fog surrounds me, you wrap your legs around me
C#m Asus2 E Bsus2 F#*
All I can do to try and bre-eathe, let me breathe so that I
So we can go together!
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It's in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
(Same thing with the bridge like with the chorus. If you don't
think the chords sound right, then try using power chords.
E5 instead of E, B5 instead of Bsus2, A5 instead of Asus2 and
F#5 instead of F#*)
BRIDGE: (this Bsus2 could also be played as a regular B (x2444x) )
E Bsus2 Asus2
Life is like a shooting star, it don't matter who you are
F#*
if you only run for cover. It's just a waste of
E Bsus2
time. We are lost 'til we are found
Asus2
this phoenix rises up from the ground
F#*
and all these wars are over
