SEA SONG

written by ROBERT WYATT
recorded by Robert Wyatt - UK Virgin V2017 (1974)
published by Virgin Music

tablature for solo guitar by Weed 

Notes

the song was originally recorded with keyboards accompaniment -
the instrumental part between the 1st and 2nd verse is not tabbed
(an extended play round the E7-5 chord), nor is the instrumental
section which follows the second verse to finish the piece (an
extended play round the chord of D)

nb the vocal starts on an E, and the E on the 2nd fret of the 4th
string (for example) can be played during bar 11 to help guide in
the vocal (as the melody is not obvious from the intro)

tied (held) notes represented by equals sign (=) (ie the following
note on the same string is not replayed) - as per the record, but
for guitar may need additional strums

Full Chords

string sequence: 654321 - chords in order of appearance - 2 versions
of Cm6 and Ebmaj7 are used - nb not all the notes are needed
