Riptide

Vance Joy — Riptide Tab
~ 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

End on G

0r

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.



Am           G                   C (x2)

Am                    G                       C

Am                    G                       C
Oh all my friends are turning green,
Am                    G                       C
You're the magicians assistant in their dreams.

Am     G    C
Ooh, ooh ooh
Am    G           C (hold)
Ooh, and they come unstuck

Am   G                        C

Take Me to Church

[Verse 1]
Em             Am    Em
My lover's got humour
                       Am     G
She's the giggle at a funeral
                       Am     Em
Knows everybody's disapproval
                            Am    Em
I should've worshipped her sooner
                     Am      Em
If the Heavens ever did speak
                     Am          G
She is the last true mouth piece
                        Am      Em
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
                Am      D
A fresh poison each week
                   C                     Em 
'We were born sick, you heard them say it
                      Am     Em
My church offers no absolutes
                             Am      G
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
                         Am     Em
The only heaven I'll be sent to
                   Am      D
Is when I'm alone with you
               C
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
G      C     G       Cm       G      Cm G  Cm G-F#/F#-F Em
Aaaaaaaaa    aaaaaaaaamen. Aaaaaaaamen. Amen

[Chorus](2x)
              Em
Take me to church                 
                                               B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                 Am
Offer me that deathless death
     Em                       Am-G-F#-Em
Good God, let me give you my life

2x                                                                                        

Em                     Am    Em

If I'm a pagan of the good times

                 Am     G
My lover's the sunlight

                     Am     Em
To keep the Goddess on my side
               Am     D

She demands sacrifice
                        C                     Em 

To drain the whole sea Get something shiny

                        Am         Em

Something meaty for the main course
                            Am     G

That's a fine looking high horse
                    Am         Em

What you got in the stable?
                        Am         D

We've a lot of starving faithful
                 C

That looks tasty, That looks plenty

This is hungry work

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen. Amen. Amen

i am an amplifier
not a transformer
so for those that approach with love... a special thanks
i am water
reflecting and absorbing 
so for those that approach with love... a special thanks
I have a strange but strong orbital attraction to "the trial by fire people"
when confronted i evaporate into the light
that which is solid within me disintegrates into exozodiacal dust
i suspended myself in space
to enhance your beauty
so for those that approach with love... a special thanks

-anaspaceship

i know what it feels like
to build a coral castle for the one you love
to lift one thousand one hundred stones with only your heart
in the hopes that your first love will return to you someday
but she never will

i know what it is to
hold your heart in your own hand....offer it to a lover
only to have to cut off that arm
to get away from the sound of your own heartbreaking

i know what it is like to
have your leg blow off on the battle field of love
to never walk again... only to swim
to be mistaken as a mermaid
lifted out of the ocean
and never put down again

i have loved to much
loved to little
been chased by the sun
while chasing the moon
and now understand why a vase can only get so full

i have been held by love
while dying from love
pain never fades
love never fades
it's just something they say
but... suns... rise
and... suns... set
thankfully

I have loved more people then i should
though less then i thought i would

but like magnets, moon, and all things that spin
nothing thing is static
the flow is all there is
lay exposed in the river of love
throw up your hands up and threw your fingers
let it flow
do not try to hold it
but let it hold you

-anaspaceship

it is not always a single red rose 
but love is always everywhere
lives are lived in fields of wild flowers
with blooming beauty and alluring medicines
bee well lovers
