Band: Common Children Song: 'Drift' Album: Delicate Fade Copyright: 1997 New Tattoo Music/BMI Tabbed by: Wes Marlan Email: guitarwez@hotmail.com ----------- Note: When I first tried to figure this song out, I was utterly stumped. Then, I was told from this lady, Tammy at tamstar@aol.com, that Marc told her that he used a DADADE tuning with a capo on the 4th fret. Now, I don't know the names of these chords under this different tuning (open D tuning?) along with it capoed at the 4th fret so I will have to resort to numbers (doh!). I don't have an acoustic so I figured it out on my electric. It sounds pretty consistent with the CD, though. So, here is what I came up with... -------------------- Tuning: DADADE Capo at the 4th fret / means slide up \ means slide down All chords and tabs relative to capo... Chords: 1-(000000) 6-(X04400) 2-(022020) 7-(022000) 3-(222000) 8-(044000) 4-(444000) 9-(X02220) 5-(X02200) 10-(X07700) ----------- Intro: 1 2 (X3) 1 ----- Verse: 3 4 1 5 / 6 \ 5 3 4 1 7 / 8 \ 7 Step out on the water I sink down farther 3 4 1 5 / 6 \ 5 3 4 1 7 / 8 \ 7 I try my best to imagine you Beautiful 3 4 1 5 / 6 \ 5 3 4 1 7 / 8 \ 7 Head to head in a corner We breathe in the moment 3 4 1 5 / 6 \ 5 3 4 1 7 / 8 \ 7 I lose myself in your glassy blue Beautiful ----- Chorus: 9 4 3 1 7 / 8 \ 7 9 4 We wait for our perfection We seek out our direction 3 1 5 / 6 \ 5 4 3 1 5 / 6 / 10 Out of here Find a way out of here ----- In between chorus and 2nd verse: 3 4 1 5/6\5 3 4 1 7/8\7 ----- 2nd Verse: 3 4 1 5 / 6 \ 5 3 4 1 7 / 8 / 7 All too human Sinners sing in the shadows 3 4 1 5 / 6 \ 5 3 4 1 7 / 8 \ 7 I connect my thoughts from me to you Beautiful ----- Chorus: 9 4 3 1 7 / 8 \ 7 9 4 We wait for our perfection We seek out our direction 3 1 5 / 6 \ 5 4 3 1 Out of here Find a way out of here ----- Bridge: 1 2 1 2 Show me the way 1 2 1 Step out on the water (Show me the way) ----- Ending Chorus: 9 4 3 1 5 / 6 \ 5 9 4 We wait for our perfection We seek out our direction 3 1 7 / 8 \ 7 Out of here (Show me the way) 9 4 3 1 5 / 6 \ 5 We wait for our perfection (Show me the way) 9 4 We seek out our direction 3 1 5 / 6 \ 5 Out of here (Show me the way) 4 3 1 7 / 8 \ 7 Find a way out of here (Show me the way) 4 3 1 5 / 6 \ 5/6 I gotta get out of here 4 3 1 Show me the way out of here ----- I apologize for the numbers but I don't have a clue what those chord names are. I emailed some guitar wizzes and went to a music store and asked and they didn't know either. If anyone knows, please email me and I can correct the tab to reflect the correct chord names. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the tab. What a song.
