                             DETECTORISTS - Johnny Flynn
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi i thought I'd provide a tab for this awesome song. It's based on Liam Fitz' guitar lesson on youtube. 
Put a capo on the 2nd fret, but make it leave out the low E string. That way we have a Drop D tuning, 
but are still able to play Standard tuning chords. 

Picking and chord wise it's basically the same as The Wrote & The Writ. 
I'm going to tab the pattern out once and 
then you'll have to apply it to the other chords he uses.  

Listen to the song for timing!

Feel free to correct me.

Cheers

(hammer on and pull off the high E string at will) 

         D                              
Will you search through the lonely earth for me,
G                            D
Climb through the briar and bramble.
              A
I'll be your treasure.

           Bm           D             Bm            D
I felt the touch of the kings and the breath of the wind,
           Bm              D
I knew the call of all the songbirds.
Bm                D     A (same as above)
They sang all the wrong words.

            Bm
I'm waiting for you,
            D
I'm waiting for you.

Bm A D G
Mmmmmm
Bm A D 
Mmmmmm

Bm A D G
Mmmmmm
Bm A D 
Mmmmmm

Will you swim through the briny sea for me,

Roll along the ocean's floor.

I'll be your treasure.


I'm with the ghosts of the men who can never sing again,

There's a place follow me.

Where a love lost at sea.

Is waiting for you.

Is waiting for you.

(End on D)
