       This pattern flows through 
the whole song

       like so (caps on downbeats):

    D
and High above an Albatross is 
following its Light
           G
and i will Sing to her as She flies 
by
        A         D
on this Beautiful Night

Ahead is the horizon, always 
changing, it stands fast
Far behind me are the desert 
islands, shipwrecks of the past
And I have seen the cannons sounding
 in the early morning light
But I have left my battles for the 
day
On this beautiful night

Continues after the ad
Below me, all the sailors, they're 
on this journey too
And each of us must make our unknown
 way upon the blue
So tonight we cast our worries, 
float jetsam on the tide
And we'll watch them echo far away
On this beautiful night


       For the bridge, Josh strums 
these chords
       Bm (x24432) F#m(244222) 
Em(022000) A7(x02020)

Bm           F#m
    the flat Earth may end
       Em
we may Sail off the edge
    A7
and Not be seen again
    Bm
so i sing and hope my song will form
  F#m
a Rope of golden chords
        Em
so that I can rescue someone else
       A7
should They fall overboard


       and then back to the original
 picking pattern (D,G,A)...


Because some of us are pirates and 
some of us are damned
But all of us need all of us to ever
 find the land
And though the passage of good hope 
may seem
Like a needles eye
We're floating on tranquility
On this Beautiful night

Up here in the crows nest
I am swimming through the breeze
One last memory from the sun


       Once you've got all this, you
 can start walking down to some
       of the bass notes.  Josh 
starts doing this towards the end of
       the song, starting with the 
transition from D to G:

...D       G                      
E|-------2-----------3---------3-
B|-----3---3-------3---3-----3---
G|---2-----------0---------0-----
D|----------0-----------0--------
A|-0------0-----------2---------0
E|-----------0h3---------2-------
             A
E|----------3---------0----| 
B|3-------3---3-----2---2--| 
G|------0---------2--------| 
D|-0-----------0-----------| 
A|--0h2------2--0----------| 
E|-------------------------| 

       He also sometimes adds an 
extra beat or two to the D pattern
       by simply repeating the 
previous bass note before hitting 
the
       next one...
