The N.S. – Sloan

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

A lot of this is piano with some incidental guitar underneath, which 
makes it pretty hard to figure out.  But I think these are the chords.

F  – 133211
G  – 355433
A7 – x02020
Am – x02210
D7 – xx0212
E  - 022100
C  - x32010
Bb – x1333x
D  - x5777x
Eb – x6888x

(Fade in – I’ve started at about 0:11)

F    G    F    G    F    G    A7 (x2)

Am                                 D7
Free for all so choose your places well 
    Am                                     D7
But you won't believe all the things we're telling you 
Am                            D7
End it all before the curtain falls 
        Am            D7
Because all time will tell 
        F               G      E             
Is that everything is a lie 

I lost the fight but won the war 
And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for 
You lost the fight but won the war 
And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for 

           G
But if you think that it's cold when you're swimming in the ocean 
                                           C
It's hard to believe you're a Nova Scotian boy 
            G
Have you considered the cost of abusing your devotion 

And if we get lost we can find out 
C                       Bb                 G
Where it was we used to be when time stood still for you 

You or I could tell a story well 
But attention fell before the lights came on again 
Without the sense of hearing 
My thoughts are disappearing 
And all time will tell 
Is that anyone can decide 

I lost the fight but won the war 
And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for anyway 
You lost the fight but won the war 
And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for 

But if you think that it's cold when you're swimming in the ocean 
It's hard to believe you're a Nova Scotian boy 
Have you considered the cost of abusing your devotion 
And if we get lost we can find out 

C                       Bb
Where it was we used to be
      Am                     D7 
We're following signs to the sea 
   Am   G    C
So take your time 
Am 
If you're leaving before me 
    D7  G   C
And say goodbye 
        Am
Say bye bye 

D        Eb        C (x2)
