chords to gavin clark's "never seen the sea"

[housemartin]

did a quit scan on google for a tabulature for this, didn't find any but lots of requests for it. I'm not a very skilled tabber, and haven't got the patience for it right now either, but I thought I'd
draw the chords for you if anyone's interested.

F# Ebm Bbm B


take it from there. cheers!

[Dave]

Nice. I may have to dig out my old acoustic to try out my pitiful skills.

Welcome to the site!

Oh, I moved this thread onto the Gavin Clark board as it's more appropriate... and this board is in need of a new post or two!

[RydCook]

cool! Thanks, i don't actually have a guitar though... I only have a bass. Shame i love this song.

[housemartin]

you're most welcome, cheers all.

[housemartin]

anyone know where to get your hands on the lyrics? it's quite indiscernible at times.
so far this is what I've got, not sure of it all though:





---
---
behind bridges of silence
---

a creature of dry land
---
son of a searcher
he's never seen the sea

nursering beauty
how far can you crawl
god knows I love you
you are an original

I came without reason
so bitter, so free
you're born by the river
but you've never seen the sea

stood at your tombstone
I fell --
a vision between us
a sun in the sky

I weighed up your --
---
you lived your whole life
but you never saw the sea

[david]

Although the chords given for 'never seen the sea' are correct, you may find it easier to play as follows:

- capo 6th fret
- C(5), Am, Em, F

I'm assuming this is how Gavin plays it on the recorded version of the song

Hello all...just new here. I've been looking for somewhere to get chords/tabs to more of Gavin Clark's songs. Here my attempt at a couple.

I play this with bar chords,

After the slaughter

E,A,B.

E
After the slaughter

I head true north
A E
To a land of beat out sun
B
Where trees grow tall
E
And blue vaults run
E
After the slaughter

I will break out
A E
I will cross the flooded sane
B E
I’ll forget the man I am now
B E
I will breathe clean air again
A E
And when I get to where I am going
A E
I’ll follow tracks, tracks out through the grass
A E
The corner fields will give me your name
B
And you’ll be mine
E
Mine at last.



This may be played in a diffrent key but I've just been playing it with out a capo

Buy Me a Suit

C,F,G.


C
Reasons I got a few
F
I know a new age is coming
C
Coming for you
G F
Two fingers of gin and a four beat crawl
C
Get us through
C
Ruthless you got a be
F
Or all the winders and wasters
C
Get in for free
G F
Two fingers of gin and a four beat crawl
C
Are on me
C
Don’t lay down Jude don’t lay down
F
Or I’m out on my own again
F
Don’t lay down Jude don’t lay down
F
Or I’m ready to roam
G
This aint the first time
F C
A crooked mans full circle has been known
C
Timeless we gotta be
F C
Or I’ll never take it seriously
G F
Two fingers to all and a four beat crawl
C
Are on me
C
Wasted I gotta few
F C
I know a new sun is rising, rising on you
G F
Two fingers of gin and a four beat crawl
F
Get us through.

This is how I think it is:

Gavin Clarke - Never seen the sea

F# Ebm Bbm B

Or:

- capo 6th fret
- C(5), Am, Em, F


An iron sun sinks
Leaving this bay
Behind bridges of silence
Below saints

A creature of dry land
A gale around me
The son of a searcher
He's never seen the sea

Nurseling beauty
How far can you crawl
God knows I love you
You are an original

I came without reason
So bitter, so free
You were born by the river
But you've never seen the sea

I stood at your tombstone
I felt alive
A vision between us
A sun in the sky

I weighed up your madness
In scales of degree
You lived your whole life
But you never saw the sea

[gavinclark]

The chords to this are in the open E tuning, and just bar chords over the fat strings ( with some extra notes which is easy once you've got the tuning ) the words are

An iron sun sinks
leaving it's beams
behind bridges of silence
built over scenes
a creature of dry land
a gale around me
the son of a searcher
who's never seen the sea

nazarene beauty
how far can you crawl
god knows i love you
you are an original
caned without reason
so bitter so free
you were born by the river
but you've never seen the see

I stood at you're tombstone
I felt alive
a vision between us
a sun in the sky
I weighed up the madness
in scales of degree
you lived your whole life
but you never saw the sea

Have a look, very good, pass by...
Be honest but not too modest.
Dress properly. Don't shake hands with the interviewer until he/she extends his/her hand.A rolling stone gathers no moss.
