Ship Of Promises Acoustic tab by Villagers

Guitar tabs

This tab is for the acoustic version of Ship of Promises by Villagers from the album
Becoming a Jackal.
It is transcribed from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB1sfcBbczs

This tab is only a loose representation of the strumming/picking pattern, you'll have to
watch the video to get it perfect.

Because he uses multiple versions of the same chord, they are written in tab in the
order they appear in the song.
I've rewritten them at the start of each new section to avoid confusion. This also
allows you to play as you read.

This is the first tab I've posted so comments are welcome.

E
You see a mask from your window at night,
    C#m                G#m
so you wake, and you go outside, and you put it on.

E
And they treat you in a different way,
    C#m                    G#m
but you can't understand what they say, after you put it on.

G#aug       E        Caug5       G#
So a change is never an end, cos this is happening all over again.
       A      E      D      A    (6/7)
And it's been days since I left on this ship of promises.

E
Another day, another denial,
   C#m                   G#m
every longing is up on trial, so you learn to put it on.

E            (7p4)
As the captian calls everyone in,
    C#m                     G#m
To the dancehall and the night begins, you have to put it on.

G#aug         E       Caug5      G#
All these visions of a welcoming party, pretty party have been lost.
       A      E       D      A   (6/7)
Cos it's the same since I left on this ship of promises.

E
All the churches I remember well,
     C#m                     G#m
Clocking in and out to the sound of the bell, we just put it on.

E
It takes you in, and it scrubs you clean,
    C#m              G#m
And it santises every dream, and you put it on, you just put it on.

G#aug     E      Caug5     G#
But I'll meet you inbetween what I say and what I mean
      A      E      D      A
And we will make our own mess on this ship of promises.
       A       E      D      A
Cos it's the same since we left on this ship of promises.
      A       E      D      A  (6/7)
And we just could not care less on this ship of promises.
