Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro riff
Gonna put the the world away for a minute
Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away
Had sweet love but I lost it
She got too close so I fought her
Now I'm lost in the world trying to find me a better way
Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair
[*]
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise
Riff [1st half]
Wrote a note said be back in a minute
Wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away
Cause now I'm knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
[*]
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise
This champagne shore washing over me
It's a sweet, sweet life living by the salty sea
One day you could be as lost as me
Change you're geography
Maybe you might be
CaddG [x1]
Knee deep in the water somewhere
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise
[x1] [x1]
Come on in the water's nice, find yourself a little slice
[x1] [x1] [x1] [x1] [x1]
Grab a backpack of lies, you never know until you try
[x1] CaddG
When you lose yourself, you find the key to paradise

~ADDIONAL LEAD RIFF~
This is the lead guitar lick that is played occasionally throughout the song
(marked by [*]). It just consists of keeping the forefinger on the 11th fret of
the B and high E string while hammering on with either the middle or ring finger
and the pinky. Since it requires 2 guitars, I did not include it in my main work
(although the ending little lick in the Intro Riff is also a second guitar, but I
decided to put that in as it's manageable to play with everything else), but if
anyone is interested, here's the tabs! :)
Key:
p pull-off
h hammer-on
s slide
x muted string
