August Sunset
Written by LBM
From the album ‘Songs from the north of the heart’
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A great ‘chill out love song’ by LBM, to me it takes you through stages of any relationship,
It starts with the end of the last one and builds up to give a vision of the future of the next.

Verse 1
C/G Cmj7 C/G Cmj7
The world is mine, coz my wings are free, the hurt of the past is way below me
Dm Dm/C Dm/B G6 Am7 G/B Am
Stop me I say as I rise through the sky, I see nothing at all with the sun in my eye
C/G Cmj7 C/G Cmj7
I have a dream like every man, to find the right girl and give all I can
Dm Dm/C Dm/B G6 Am7 G/B Am
I’ll search the world the whole way through, you better believe it I will find you.
C/G Cmj7 C/G Cmj7
The beach is my place when I wanna get away, lying on the sands burning through the day
Dm Dm/C Dm/B G6 Am7 G/B Am
Join me I shout I really want you here, it all comes together when you are near
Chorus
Dm C
In the morning, we will rise together
Dm C
By the evening, we will love forever
Dm Dm/C
Sharing something we’ll never forget
Dm/B G6 Am7 G/B Am
Glowing in the shadows of an August sunset.
Verse 2 (as verse 1)
The birds above are singing sweet, the deep blue sea covers our feet
We will stand there arm in arm, and ride the waves strong, tall or calm
Everywhere I look I can see your face, sitting with a beer staring into space
Then it hits me right outta the blue, can’t deny I really want you
Can you tell me what more I need, your all I want coz mind is freed
It makes me think all night long, loving you I can’t go wrong
Chorus
Bridge
Fmj7 G Fmj7 G
Is this the way you wanted things to be, walking hand in hand with a simple guy like me
Fmj7 G Am
Are the fruits of passion growing with no regret, is this an August sunset?

Verse 3
C/G Cmj7 C/G Cmj7
Ten years on and were still around, Your still pretty and I’ve been found
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Am
And the feelings are just the same, we’re the winners in the loving game
Dm Dm/C Dm/B G6 Am7 G/B Am
Its no different to the day we met, kissing slowly one August sunset
Chorus
End with C/G and Cmj7
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 LBM 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.
