Wind And Walls by The Tallest Man On Earth
Wind And Walls
The strumming pattern is pretty important in this song in order to make
it sound right. Listen to the song a few times and try playing along,
I'm sure you'll get it quickly.
Even more, the D chord variations he does really make this song. TTMOE
plays around with D major, Dsus4 and Dsus2 almost anytime you see a
D chord in here, starting in the intro already. Once again, listen to
the recording to get it right.
Capo 4 (to be in key with original recording)
(Intro:) D - A - Em - D - A
D A
Well, 'All is well in order' is what you thought you heard them say
Em D A
and so you drifted off to see what's not in yourself
D A
Light is turning slowly will it lay out on the plains?
Em D
No more nights of what you wrote back then,
A G D A
no relief of no rain
D A
And so, singing songs of rivers tied to accidents within
Em D A
and telling people lies of lions, treasures, and kings
D A
Nothing's more revealing than the dancer and the doubt
Em D A G
waving to forget what's never gone, always there, never right
A D A
In all these riots of broken sounds
Em
Like the last voice you heard
A D A Em D A
then you drowned, oh lord
D A
You know, this is wind and walls and weathered leaves and tearing sails
Em D A
and minnows in your pockets when the rapid's on trails
D A
this is not the future but I sense it's right up there
Em D A G
oh, just another hour, another pass, another day anywhere
A D A
In all these riots of broken sounds
Em
And you sleep on the track
A D A Em D A
every night, oh lord
G
And we don't know if your treasure is safe
A D Bm
where will you be when they find you, son?
G
And you know they're always following me
A D Bm
so when I get there you trust me son, and just leave,
A A6 A7
I'll catch up
D A
This is where you're passionate of seasons and their strength
Em D A
and this is where you breathe and walk and know they will end
D A
Light is turning slowly to the hand upon your chest
Em D A G
so lay it on the plains where there is time, there is love, there is rest
A D A
From all these riots of broken sounds
Em
When you sleep on the track
A D A Em D A
every night, oh lord
(Break:) G - A - A6 - G - A - A6
G
And we don't know if your treasure is safe
A D Bm
where will you be when they find you, son?
G A
And you know they're always following me
D
I'll be the best when the silence comes.

version 2
Tuning: CGCGCD (Open C with first string tuned down to d)
Capo 6th fret
strumming not written out, it's quite similar to most of his strummed songs
there are quite a few hammer-ons etc throughout, you'll have to listen to it
i'd play the open strings at the beginning about ten times, but there wasn't
enough space to write it out.
Intro first part (not exactly how he plays it, but it sounds fine)

'All is well in order' is what you thought you heard them say
so you drifted off to see what's not in yourself
light is turning slowly will it lay out on the plains?
no more nights of what you wrote back then
no relief of no rain
Singing songs of rivers tied to accidents within
telling people lies of lions, treasures and kings
nothing is more revealing than the dancer and the doubt
waving to forget what's never gone, always there, never right
In all these riots of broken sounds
Like the last voice you heard
Then you drowned, oh lord
This is wind and walls and weathered leaves and tearing sails

this is not the future but I sense it's right up there
just another hour, another pass, another day anywhere
In all these riots of broken sounds
And you sleep on the track every night
Oh lord
We don't know if your treasure is safe
where will you be when they find you son?
