SOMETHING IN THE WATER - BROOKE FRASER Tabbed by: Phinda and Vela Email: velaphinda@yahoo.com This is yet another amazing Brooke Fraser song (she is crazy talented) released on 2nd August 2010 the following chords that I used sound about 98% correct- I'm so excited -but if you like to make any corrections, please do, this is my first tab so don't be too harsh. Be blessed. I got the lyrics from http://www.allyrics.net/Brooke-Fraser/lyrics/Something-In-The-Water/ Standard tuning: No capo Basically to simplify things (because I dont know how to explain fully in words how the C to Csus4 hammer changes happen-it's similar to the Mumford and Sons-'Little lion man' vibe) just play short quick down muted strums... just listen to how Brooke plays it in the song, then you'll know what I mean. In the pre-chorus ('give me nights of solitude...') The F and C chord sound better when hammer on, on your middle finger, if you listen to the song you're more than likely just to feel it and if this confuses you leave it out. The down strums for the chorus for the (F Am G chords) sound better using more obvious, harder down strums ie. Don't mute the strings as much. Again in the the same(F Am G chords) F is for the first 3 'ah's and the Am for the next 2 and the G for the last 'ah'. NOTE: at all times avoid playing bottom E and B string it sounds tacky and irritating -except when playing a single down strum. I have done an electric guitar part for it but too lazy to tab it out if high demand I will, e-mail me. It is basically the piano part on electric guitar. sigh... enough talking ---UPDATES--- I received an e-mail from Charissa, so the chorus has been changed according to her tabs. HERE IS THE ORIGINAL: CHORUS F Am G ah ah ah ah ah ah F There's something in the water Something in the water F Am G ah ah ah ah ah ah F There's something in the water That makes me love you like i do ---END--- Chords: F Fmaj7 C Csus4 Am G e|---- e|---- e|---- e|---- e|---- e|-3----| B|-1-- B|-1-- B|-1-- B|-1-- B|-1-- B|-3----| G|-2-- G|-2-- G|-0-- G|-0-- G|-2-- G|-0----| D|-3-- D|-3-- D|-2-- D|-3-- D|-2-- D|-0----| A|-3-- A|-0-- A|-3-- A|-3-- A|---- A|-2----| E|---- E|---- E|---- E|---- E|---- E|-3----| F (single down strum) do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do C (Csus4) x4 [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/brooke-fraser/246151.html ] VERSE 1 C I'll wear a demeanor Csus4 made of bright pretty things Am Fmaj7 C what she wears, what she wears, what she wears C birds singing on my shoulder Csus4 in harmony it seems Am Fmaj7 C how they sing, how they sing, how they sing F give me nights of solitude Red wine just a glass or two C reclined in a hammock G on a balmy evening F i'll pretend that it's no thing there's skip in my heart when I think C aren't you thinkin bout me babe G i'm crazy over you CHORUS Am C F G ah ah ah ah ah ah Am C There's something in the water F G Something in the water Am C F G ah ah ah ah ah ah Am C There's something in the water F That makes me love you like VERSE 2 C I got halos made of summer Csus4 rhythms made of spring Am Fmaj7 C what she wears, what she wears, what she wears C i got crowns of water woven Csus4 each with a song to sing Am Fmaj7 C oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing PRE-CHORUS F give me long days in the sun previous to the nights to come C previews of the mornings G laying in or lazy F give me something fun to do like a life of loving you C kiss me quick now baby G i'm still crazy over you CHORUS Am C F G ah ah ah ah ah ah Am C There's something in the water F G Something in the water Am C F G ah ah ah ah ah ah Am C There's something in the water F That makes me love you like i do BRIDGE F C woo hoo hoo hoo hoo F woo hoo hoo hoo hoo C G woo hoo hoo hoo hooooo PRE-CHORUS F give me nights of solitude C Red wine just a glass or two F C G Give me something fun to do CHORUS x2 Am C F G ah ah ah ah ah ah Am C There's something in the water F G Something in the water Am C F G ah ah ah ah ah ah Am C There's something in the water F That makes me love you like i do END F (single down strum) C (single down strum) do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do |
