Song To The Siren by Tim Buckley - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Tim Buckley Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 5

            I first heard this song on youtube, from a clip on the Monkees TV show. I wanted to 
it but I couldn't find a decent enough tab, so I did it myself. This is my first tab, so I 
apriciate some feed back and possibly some of the picking patterns.
Email me at  if you have any suggestions about this tab.
Thanks

[Verse 1]

D              A
Long afloat on shipless oceans,
G            Bm
I did all my best to smile
D                 A
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
G              Bm
Drew me loving to your isle.
D            Dsus2/C
And you sang, "Sail to me,
G/B                  D
Sail to me, let me unfold you."
Bm                   A          G
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.


[Verse 2]

D               A
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
G                  Bm
Were you hare when I was fox?
D              A
Now my foolish boat is leaning, 
G               Bm
Broken, lovelorn on your rocks.
D             Dsus2/C
For you sing, "Touch me not, 
G/B                       D
Touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Bm                       A              G
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.


[Verse 3]

D              A
I'm as puzzled as the oyster,
G               Bm
I'm as troubled as the tide
D               A
Should I stand amid the breakers?
G                    Bm
Or should I lie with death my bride?
D             Dsus2/C
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, 
G/B                  D
Swim to me, let me enfold you."
Bm                          A          G
Oh my heart, oh my heart is waiting to hold you.
