To: * Subject: /v/*----------------------I learned this from the book _The_Authentic_Guitar_Style_of_Suzanne_Vega_, be without it. Buy it; it's only $12.95, and it has very good transcriptions of eleven songs from Suzanne's first two albums. If your local music store doesn't have it, do a special order or call Hal Leonard (Cherry Lane's distributor) directly; that's how I got it. TAB FOR INTRO AND FIRST VERSE: [The second and third verses are slightly different; if you want to get it exactly right, just listen to the recording.] [An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on; *2 means quickly hammer-on from 0 to 2.] [Accents are on the 1st, 4th, and 7th eighth notes of each measure; those are usually played by the thumb. (In the recording, you can barely even hear the non-accented notes.)] [Actually in G; capo at the 3rd fret.]E7 E7sus4 E ----------------|-------------- B --0-----0-----0-|--0-----0----- G ----1-----1-----|----2-----2--- D ----------------|------0------- A ------2---------|2-----------2- E7 E7sus4 E|--|----------------|-------------- B|0-|--0-----0-------|--0-----0----- G|--|----1-----1-----|----2-----2--- D|--|2-----------0=2-|0-----------0- A|--|------2---------|------2-------E 0-----------0---|----------------|----------------|----------------| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .E7 E7sus4 E ----------------|-------------- B --------------0-|--0-----0----- G ------1---1-----|----2-----2--- E7 E7sus4 E|--|----------------|-------------- B|0-|--0-----0-----0-|--0-----0----- G|--|----1-----1-----|----2-----2--- --| 0-| --| D 0=2--------*2---|0-----------0-- A ----------------|------2------- E ----------------|-------------- ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ A|--|------2---------|2-----------2- E|--|0-----------0---|-------------- |. ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ --| --| .

LYRICS AND CHORDS: [It's a judgement call as to whether the E7's are actually E's or E7's. And it doesn't really matter.] [For the "I let him go" parts at the ends of the verses, play as many the last two measures of the first verse.] [Capo 3.]E7 E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7 [intro]E7sus4 E7 E7sus4E7 E7sus4 E7E7sus4E7 E7sus4 E7 I live on an island, and IE7sus4 'waken to the dawnA A7/6sus4 A Long time ago, I watchedA7/6sus4 him struggle with the seaE7 E7sus4 E7 I knew that he was drowning,E7sus4 and I brought him in to meAsus4 Asus4 A(4) A(4) Now today, come morning lightC Cmaj7 F#m7(4) He sails away; after oneF#m7(4) E E7sus4 E last night, I letE7sus4 him go Thick and wild and hidden is the sweetness there that grows My hair, it blows long as I sing into the wind I tell of nights where I could taste the salt on his skin Salt of the waves and of tears And though he pulled away, I kept him here for years Now I let him go just play it like the "I let him go" parts at the end of the verses.] In the dawn he sails away to be gone forever more And the waves will take him in again, but he'll know their ways know I will stand upon the shore with a clean heart and my song in the wind The sand will sting my feet and the sky will burn It's a lonely time ahead; I do not ask him to return; I let him go I let him go
