SONG FOR YOU – Alexi Murdoch
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kengus
Here's one with a bit of finger picking. The picking is sort of half-
muted, don't let the notes ring too long. The intro and the verses follow
the same pattern. The trickiest part is perhaps the interlude thing before
the outroish part. Have fun.
Standard tuning

VERSE1
E Amaj7* E
So today I wrote a song for you, cause a day can get so long
Amaj7*
And I know it’s hard to make it through
E Amaj7*
When you say there’s something wrong
VERSE2
E Amaj7* E
So I’m trying to put it right, cause I want to love you with my heart
Amaj7*
All this trying has made me tight
E Amaj7*
And I don’t know even where to start
E Amaj7*
Maybe that’s a start
VERSE3
E Amaj7*
Before you know it’s a simple game
E
That you play filling up your head with rain
Amaj7*
And you know you’ve been hiding from your pain
E Amaj7*
In the way, in the way you say your name
CHORUS
C#m E/B Amaj7*
And I see you, hiding your face in your hands
C#m E/B Amaj7*
Flying so you won’t land
C#m E/B EMb5/A# Amaj7*
You think no one understands
No one understands

INTERLUDE (repeat intro)
E Amaj7* E Amaj7*
VERSE4
E Amaj7*
So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
E
And your throat is aching but you swear
Amaj7*
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
E Amaj7*
Anyway you’re not here enough to care
VERSE5
E Amaj7*
And you’re so tired you don’t sleep at night
E
As your heart is trying to mend
Amaj7*
You keep it quiet but you think you might
E Amaj7*
Disappear before the end
VERSE6
E Amaj7* E
And it’s strange that you cannot find any strength to even try
Amaj7*
To find a voice to speak your mind
E Amaj7*
When you do, all you wanna do is cry
E Amaj7*
Well maybe you should cry
CHORUS
C#m E/B Amaj7*
And I see you hiding your face in your hands
C#m E/B Amaj7*
Talking ‘bout far-away lands
C#m E/B EMb5/A# Amaj7*
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands

OUTRO with lyrics
Bsus4 A6omit3 Bsus4 A6omit3
And all of this life, moves around you
Bsus4 A6omit3 Bsus4 A6omit3
For all that you climb, you’re standing still
Esus2 A6omit3
You are moving too
Esus2 A6omit3
You are moving too
Esus2 A6omit3
You are moving too
E
I will move with you.
