Thrice - The Whaler

"My lover's arms
Well they beg me to stay
I know the storms
They will sweep me away
My daughter's eyes
They are two tiny seas
Whose water will rise
And they will run down her cheeks

Father where do you go?
So far out upon the sea
when are you coming home to me?
Darling, why do you leave?
The north wind begins to blow
Will you be coming home to me?

The boat and the blade
They are all that I know
The sea calls my name
And so I must go
While they still sleep
I slip out the door
How can I leave when my anchor's ashore

Father where do you go?
It's farther than I can see
when are you coming home to me?
Darling, why do you leave?
The north wind begins to blow
Will you be coming home to me?"

Hey man, I love thrice and hate hearing covers because they always leave me disappointed, you killed this tho. 1 of only 2 thrice covers i've enjoyed on youtube.

[SeanDuncanMusic]

@youtubenoob Thanks dude, that means a lot. love your username

[janusego1]

cool cover, what's the tuning?

[SeanDuncanMusic]

@janusego1 thanks! The tuning is normal EADGBE.

This is how I played it -

Chords: Picking - B minor to B-minor with a G bass.

Strumming - verse - B min Gmaj Bmin Cmaj, Gbmaj Gmaj 2x.

Chorus: Bmin, Amaj, Gmaj, Dmaj, Dmaj with an F# bass to then a C#bass

I don't actually have a guitar with me right now so a couple of these changes might be a little off, but that's the idea

isn't it my lovers arms, oh they beg me to stay, but I know the storms, oh they will sweep me away

[SeanDuncanMusic]

Oh my sack! This is incredible bru! By far the best Thrice cover I've ever seen! Thrice is my favorite band by far. Your guitar playing your voice and the voice overs that you did were all incredible! Great job man! Keep it up!
