Standard tuning w. capo on 3rd fret

***Please read***

The F chord Afie uses is a Fmaj7. In the tab I kept it as a regular F so I could place the chords at the exact
timings for the chord changes.

Also, for the "choir section" I tried to figure out the progression and I think it's pretty accurate.
However, if you can decipher what Em-like chord Afie ends on. I've looked at The Wild Honey
Pie's Buzzsession at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoi_xdke_Kk and it looks like a Em open chord with the A
string open. But, I don't think it sounds 100 % similar. If you know the correct chord, please throw a comment.

   Dm                 F
And I held the breath inside my lungs for days
   Dm              F
And I saw myself as one of many waves
    A#               Gm    F   Dm  F
When I knew that I'd become the ocean's slave I just stayed


    Dm                F
And we carried forward all the water's past
    Dm               F
Of the waves I was not first I was not last
    A#               Gm   F  Dm  D7
If we saw a boat afloat we'd take the mast, so fast


     A#        F   C
Where's a part of it that I miss
    A#         F  C
At the heart of it your cold kiss
     A#      F     C
From the start of it I know this
        A#
Oh where's the part of it


(Chords over the solo)

   Dm                 F
And before too long the waves grew out of hand
     Dm                 F
And they worked to keep the sea at their command
    A#                  Gm    F   Dm  D7
And the only thing they feared it seemed the sand, the dry land



     A#        F   C
There's a part of it that I miss
    A#         F  C
At the heart of it your cold kiss
     A#      F     C
From the start of it I know this
        A#
Oh where's the part of it


(Chords over choir section)

     Dm                F
From the water there was born a bright blue roar
   Dm                     F
As it rolled and formed and calmed the ocean's floor
      A#               Gm   F  Dm D7
And then it finally rose and broke upon the shore no more


     A#        F   C
There's a part of it that I miss
    A#         F  C
At the heart of it your cold kiss
     A#      F     C
From the start of it I know this
        A#
Oh where's the part of it


     A#        F   C
There's a part of it that I miss
    A#         F  C
At the heart of it your cold kiss
     A#      F     C
From the start of it I know this
        A#
Oh where's the part of it


        A#
Oh where's the part of it

Dm  F
