Coming Up For Air
-----------------
(Patty Larkin)
(from the CD entitled "Perishable Fruit")
(Transcribed by Bob Cimikowski (cimo@cs.montana.edu))
Comments: This is one of the most soothing, relaxing,
intoxicating songs I have ever heard. Jane
Siberry's backing vocals have a lot to do with that.
Most remarkably, it is EASY to play, unlike
many of Larkin's songs. Just strum the 3 chords
forward and back repeatedly. Emphasize the base
strings while strumming.
Guitar tuning: eADGAD
Chords: (repeat these ad infinitum)
eADGAD
------
1: 320000 (note: slide up from chord 2 to chord 3 and back)
2: 332000
3: 554000
1 2 3 2
we are surrounded by so much water
1 2 3 2 etc.
that we might as well get a boat
or we could swim like neptune's daughters
to the other side of the moat
(refrain)
coming up for air
rising to a very new somewhere
coming up for air
on the last breath around
we are sleeping in a canyon
where the walls rise up to the sky
we could reach the rim by standing
and begin to breathe with a sign
(refrain)
we are swaying like a willow
that is weeping over the view
we could wave goodbye
and fly into the hills
and into the blue
(refrain)
on the last breath around
on the last breath around
