The Sun Is In Your Eyes by Jacob Collier
The Sun Is In Your Eyes
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 4th fret
Key: F#
open tuning: DAEGAd!
! if you want to play along to the voice memo version published in Jan 2021, put your capo on 3, as it is a
semi-tone lower. The chord structure is a bit simpler there too though, so it will not quite sound the same.
the entire song consists of always evolving, glistening arpeggios
based on the following 13 chord shapes - sometimes plucked, sometimes hammered-on or pulled-off,
sometimes all strings are used, sometimes not.
chord shapes in open tuning (but relative to capo):
1. D 0-0/2-2-2-0-0
2. Em11 223000
3. Em11add6 240000
4. Em11add6(2) 243000
5. F#m#5addb9 455000
6. Gadd9 557000
7. G6add9 577000
8. Bm7 9-9-10-x-0-0
9. A7sus4add6 790000
10. A11 709000
11. A#6add#9 8-10-9-0-x-0
12. E7 2x4xx0
13. Gm6 5760x0
there they are once again as tab:

version 4
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 1st fret
Key: F
Please note:
1. The Spotify version is a little bit lower which requires tuning every string down a bit.
2. These are the general chords with the numbers in brackets indicating the main 'extra' notes played.
3. As you can see i didnt include some sort of plucking order, as this song is very loose on that.
4. The distance between the chords does not indicate how long the chord is being played.

Throw me the cold
Throw me the cold, cold water of your smile again
To take me by surprise
You take me by surprise
Throw me the bold
Throw me the bold, bold treasure of your lips again
And where I go you'll lead me in the right direction
And with your love as my protection
I'll be a world of your projection
And where I go singing songs of your affection
With rhymes to your perfection
In my eyes, see your reflection of you
I see it clearly now
I'll hold you dearly now
The sun is in my eyes
