Chords for The Ring - Sarah Harmer

[Bb] And so I was _ racking [Gb] my brain and I just heard one the other day and I thought it was pretty ideal for this [Gm] situation because it's about stand-up bass players.
_ [N] We got two of them up here today, probably never happen to me again.
So I thought I'd_
[G] So this guy's a stand-up bass player and he gets a call _ from a friend of a friend.
He says, oh hey, do you want to do this gig?
It's the midnight cruise gig _ and you just got to show up down at the dock, more night, midnight.
[Gb] He's like, yeah, that sounds great.
Okay, so he goes down [N] with his bass, stand-up bass, and he's standing on the dock and he's completely desolate.
And he's looking around, wondering what's going to happen.
Next thing you know, he's clubbed in the head, _ passes out, _ wakes up.
[D] He's in the water, floating on the top of his stand-up [Gb] bass. _
[N] And he comes to, he looks around and he sees all of these other stand-up bass players _ floating in the water around him.
And he opens his eye, he looks at the one guy, he goes, is there food on this gig? _ _ _
The other guy says, there wasn't last year.
_ It's two punchlines.
All right, [Bb] okay. _ _
_ _ Thanks guys.
Thanks for letting me do that.
_ _ _ Okay, I think [C] this one might be a bit weird to try to translate to you, so I'll probably just tackle it on [G] my own if I can.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [F] _ Well _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] you _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] thank me all [F] the time, [Bb]
but now it's [F] my turn.
Cause [Eb] truly a word [F] of gratitude so [Eb] dim can go [F] _ unheard.
[Bb] And it made me [F] feel bitter [Bb] to have you there in [F] my corner.
[Eb] My eyes [F] cast so low, my [Eb] face could [F] not have been _ drawn _ [Bb] longer. _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] Well I know you've been [F] impressed, you've [Bb] seen me [F] at my best.
But [Eb] oh how [F] it hurts [Eb] when I can't hide [F] my worst.
Well [Bb] thank you for carrying [F] _ on, for [Bb] playing with [F] me.
And this song, [Eb] it made me [F] feel better.
We [Eb] sat it out [F] like some passing bad [Gm] weather.
[Eb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] Well my mind was like [F] kid boxing _ [Bb] gloves, the kind blown up in [F] air.
_ [Eb] That are put away [F] after play [Eb] and get limp [F] just lying there.
[Bb] Well you knew they'd [F] fill up again, [Bb] you gave [F] me your shoulder.
_ [Eb] And I got [F] up in the rain, [Eb] because I had [F] you there in [Bb] my _ corner.
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] And I got [F] up in the rain, [Eb] because I had [F] you there in [Bb] my _ corner.
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Dm] La la [Eb] la la la la la [F] la.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
