Artist: Niall Horan Song: The Tide Album: Flicker Key: minor BPM: 135 Tabbed by: Matty Sievers This is the song he's been opening the tour with and it's another bloody ripper of a song! I've included a more detaield strumming pattern for the intro and verses progression below just to guide people who might not like using UG's built in one and also so there was no confusion over what chords Go where. Essentially you hit the 1, the off beat of the 2 and the 4 and then Do that exact same thing. The jump from playing the off beat of the 2 to the 4 back to the 1 might be jarring for some but it's pretty clear once you get the feel for the song and let the groove guide you. Just remember that the and the are only played those first two strums and then the and carry over the bar. The verses also can be broken up into an A and . A where Niall starts the line after the first beat and then where he sings on the accents and the beat. Read how I've spaced the lyrics and chords and listen to the song and you'll understand what I mean. The refrain and bridge are also the same progression as the chorus. So each chord goes for two bars. & Verse Strumming Pattern: Strums * * * * * * 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 Strums w/ Chords 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 Chords Used: G/Cm Song Oh no, yeah yeah I feel it coming, it's coming again Stay close and don't stop Cause I don't wanna go, want it to end Close my eyes, Crying in a crowded bar And every time we get this close G/Cm It's always pulling us apart Don't let the tide come and wash us away Don't let the tide come and take me Just want a safe place to hide us away Don't let the tide come and take me Don't let the tide come and wash us away Don't let the tide come and take me Far from with you where I wanna stay So don't let the tide come and take me Oh no, yeah yeah I feel it coming, it's coming again Don't give up, and don't laugh Cause I'm needing you to understand When I go, All I ever seem to fear Is that you're gonna find someone G/Cm And slowly watch me disappear Don't let the tide come and wash us away Don't let the tide come and take me Just want a safe place to hide us away Don't let the tide come and take me Don't let the tide come and wash us away Don't let the tide come and take me Far from with you where I wanna stay So don't let the tide come and take me Oh no, yeah yeah Yeah, I feel it coming, It's coming again stay close and don't stop Cause I don't wanna go, want it to end yeah Cause I don't wanna go, want it to end G/Cm Don't let the tide come and wash us away Don't let the tide come and take me Just want a safe place to hide us away Don't let the tide come and take me Don't let the tide come and wash us away Don't let the tide come and take me Far from with you where I wanna stay So don't let the tide come and take me
