~ Riptide - Vance Joy ~
Capo 6
Great song from an unearthed artist :)
The whole song is basically the same chords over and over.
Em Cadd9 G
* = Strum Once
The intro is just that chord progression repeated twice
and the verse goes the same. I'm really unsure of the lyrics...
Em Cadd9 G
I was scared of dentists and the dark
Em Cadd9 G
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Em Cadd9 G
Oh all my friends are turning green
Em Cadd9 G
You must've [something something] in our dreams
Em Cadd9 G
Uh oooh oh oooh oooh
Em Cadd9 G*
Oh oooh oh oooh and they come unstuck
Em Cadd9 G
Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
G Em
Taken away to the dark side
Cadd9 G
I wanna be your left hand man
Em Cadd9 G
And I love you when you're singin' that song and
Em
I gotta lump in my throat cos
Cadd9 G
You're gonna sing the words wrong
Em Cadd9 G
There's this movie that I think you'll like
Em Cadd9 G
This guy decides to quit his job and head to New York City
Em Cadd9 G
This cowboy's running from himself
Em Cadd9 G
She's been living on the highest shelf
Em Cadd9 G
Uh oooh oh oooh oooh
Em Cadd9 G*
Oh oooh oh oooh and they come unstuck
Em Cadd9 G

Em Cadd9 G*
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

Depending on which recording you're listening to, he may or may not be playing a half
step up. So you
can either throw a capo on 1 if you want, or just fiddle with the tuning, or (my
personal fave) just go
for it in open tuning.
The only chords you use in this song are Am, G, C, and very briefly F. (If you're
feelin' fancy, you can
play the Fadd9 that he uses, but whatev). Also, I would tab out the fingerpicking, and
I might do it
later, but I just figured this out on my ukulele and I'm too lazy to go get my guitar
and figure it out
right now.
