Bella - Angus and Julia Stone
Tuning: Standard
Capo 1. Though, in some live versions, his guitar is tuned down half a step - same
as no capo on a standard tuned guitar.
itsmadeline previously tabbed this, but some of the chords and the picking is just slightly off.
Main chords:
-Aadd9: 002420
-Unsure of the name, A1: 020220
-E: 022100
-Unsure of the name, A2: 200220
-Unsure of the name, A3: 050230 (if it is too hard to put your pinky on the 5th
fret of the A string, 000230 sounds fine)
-A: 002220

Repeat that last bar 5 times, during "...I hope all is well.."
***Repeat everything twice but end last verse with Aadd9 and A1 played twice
instead of 4 times and no chorus.
***End the whole song by downward strumming Aadd9.
IN SOME LIVE VERSIONS:
-Angus plays slower with another pluck of the G string in the picking pattern, but
it sounds fine as written above and this is how it's played on the album version.
Lyrics:
Verse 1
There goes the gal
In the pretty skirt with the
Golden smile that made you feel new
Like when the marching band strolls the street
You know another years come too soon
So you took her hand and she gave a look that sent you to the moon
And there you spoke the words of a gentleman
Can I have this dance with you
Can I share this dance with you
Chorus
Won't you come on home
I built us a flying machine
And we'll go where you want
and we'll sail the seven seas
I hope all is well in daisys dreams
Verse 2
There goes the gal
Yeah the pretty bird on the golden mile that made you feel real
She took withon to the stars
She don't make no big deal
There she sits with them big old fields of daisies and rusted mills
And when the sun it shines on her hair of gold
She's beautiful
She's beautiful
Chorus
Won't you come on home
I built us a flying machine
And well go where you want well sail the seven seas
I hope all is well in daisys dreams
Da de de da da
