Official TRAVIS Tablature & Sheet Music »
'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.
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 TRAVIS 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.
