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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LARKIN PATTY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
