'Driftwood' by Travis

Tabbed by Kenny Dennis (pigeon_rustler@excite.co.uk)

This version is different to the others on the site, and I think it
sounds pretty close to the original. Tell me what you think!


INTRO

(em a em a)

Verse 1

D G6 Asus4 A
Everything is open, nothing is set in stone,

D G6 Asus4 A
Rivers turn to oceans, oceans tide you home,

D G6 Asus4 A
Home is where the heart is, but your heart had to roam,

D G6 Asus4 A
Drifting over bridges, never to return,

A7
Watching bridges burn,

Chorus 1

D A Em
You're driftwood, floating underwater,
G6
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces.
D A Em
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use,
G6
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you.

Verse 2 (Same chords as verse 1)

Nobody is an island, everyone has to go... (etc)

Then, Pre-chorus 1

Em Asus4 A
And you really didn't think it would happen,
Em Asus4 A
But it really is the end of the line.

Chorus 2

D A Em
So i'm sorry, that you turned to driftwood,
G6 D
But you've been drifting for a long, long time.

Solo

Em-Asus4-A times 3
Then two bars of Em

Then verse 3 (Verse 1 chords again)

Everywhere there's trouble, no place safe to go etc...

Then repeat chorus 1

Then pre-chorus 1,

Then,

D A Em
So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood,
G6 D
But you've been drifting for a long, long time,
Em D
But you've been drifting for a long, long time,
Em G6 D
You've been drifting for a long, long, drifting for a long, long time.


So there you go, a song that sounds great strummed on an acoustic,
even my crappy six-stringer. Oh, and capo... second or third fret.

I think.
