Hi everyone. This is my first tab and my favorite song from my favorite band. This
is pretty simple to play and I hope you enjoy.
The only alteration is I highly suggest playing Bm as xxo432 then how it s shown
in the diagrams here. Just for changing chords easier.
Intro: x 3 (listen to the song and play the d and e with alternating up
and down strumming the first time through)
September ninth
It s a sunny day
The smell of summer is still in the air
Your pirate ship
Has sailed away
I m not so sure
What you ve been up to
I gave up trying to stop you
Instead I keep watching over your things
You always have a home here
You won t fail me though you come back
with empty hands
(single hit D before chorus strumming)
I m waiting here you might not be back
I don t think I m irrational
(single hit D before chorus strumming)
I m waiting here you might not be back
I m still at number 13
(to transition to the next verse. alternate up and down strumming.
listen to the song for timing.)
Your sails are full
The coast is clear
You have no doubt
Your ship won t strand
The trouble with you is
You take too many chances but
that is also your strength
I m often anxious
But I know you will make it through
In the highwind
Though you face a dead end
(single hit D before chorus strumming)
I m waiting here you might not be back
I don t think I m irrational
(single hit D before chorus strumming)
I m waiting here you might not be back
I m still at number 13
x 3 (for the break)
(no chords)
Oh, you said
You re not gonna back
Oh, you said
You re not gonna back
I gave up trying to stop you
Instead I keep watching over your things
You always have a home here
You won t fail me though you come back
(no chords)
with empty hands
(single hit D before chorus strumming)
I m waiting here you might not be back
I don t think I m irrational
(single hit D before chorus strumming)
I m waiting here you might not be back
I m still at number 13
x 3
(alternate up and down strumming patterns on the last bm and a. listen to the song for timing)
end on
Thanks everyone, really hope this works out and you enjoy it,
John K.
