version 2
Tuning: D A D G B E
Key: A
DROP D TUNING
This is a transcription of the piano part, arranged for guitar. I had to change some chord voicings to make it
playable due to the larger register of the piano, but I tried to keep it as close as possible to the original.
This is why some chords may be hard to play : the G and the D/F# in the verse, and the G/B in the chorus.
For the G, I play it with my thumb on the 6th string, but you can also fret the 6th, 5th and 4th strings with
your ring finger.
For the D/F#, I use my thumb on the 6th string as well.
For the G/B, I use my middle finger to fret the 2nd and 1st string. You can also make it easier by playing it
like this instead : x-2-x-4-3-3.

Forget our fate
The pedlar sings
Set up to sell my soul
I've lived a life for wealth to bring
And yet I'll gaze
The colour of spring
Immerse in that one moment
Left in love with everything
Soar the bridges
That I burnt before
One song among us all
Soar the bridges
That I burnt before
One song among us all
