Glen Hansard Come Away to the Water Lyrics

Rhythm and Repose
Glen Hansard wrote this song for The Hunger Games movie.
He plays baritone ukulele in this song to the tuning of D-G-B-D.
But lucky for guitarists, just tune your high E string to a D and
play only the four highest strings. It sounds great on a classical
guitar if you have one because the nylon strings give it a ukulele
sound. Hope you enjoy!
This is how the chords are played:
us
This is the picking pattern: example Em
|---0-------0-------0-------0---0-| :play last 0 only on chord change
|-----0-------0-------0-------0---| otherwise stick to pattern
This is how to play the hammer-on:
You may have to listen to the song to get the rhythm.
Intro: Em
Come away little loss, come away to the water
To the arms that are waiting only for you
Come away little loss, come away to the water
To the ones appointed to see it through
We are calling to you
Come away little light, come away to the laughter
Show yourself so we might live anew
Come away little light, come away to the laughter
To the ones appointed to see this through
We are coming for you, we are coming for you
Come away little lamb, come away to the water
Give yourself so we might live anew
Come away little lamb, come away to the slaughter
To the ones appointed to see it through
We are coming for you, we are coming for you
Outro: C, Em, C, Bm, Am, Bm, Am, Em, Bm, Am, Em
