Songs We Sing Lyrics

This is the entire Songs We Sing album by Matt Costa. I have seen 2
different versions of the Songs We Sing album. The cd's came out in
this order so far:
1. Matt Costa EP (this one with all the black the white stripes)
*2. Songs We Sing (original version)
3. The Elasmosaurus EP
4. Songs We Sing (The one on iTunes, includes songs from the Elasmosaurus)
5. Unfamiliar faces
I am tabbing out Songs We Sing (the original version).
Songs:
1.Yellow Taxi
2.Astair
3.Oh Dear
4.Cold December
5.Desire's Only Fling
6.Sweet Rose
7.Songs We Sing
8.Sunshine
9.Whisky and Wine
10.Shimmering Fields
11.Behind the Moon
12.Wash Away
I have several Matt Costa tabs that I previously made and copied
them onto this tab (Oh Dear, Cold December, Songs We Sing, and Behind the
Moon). So don't think I'm stealing other people's tabs. But thanks goes to
Chris Caceres, Huggz60, and Chris because I learned thier songs (Astair,
Desires Only Fling, and Wash Away) and thought they were perfect before even deciding to
this tab. So it's very hard to make another tab of that song when you have already
the perfect version.

~Yellow Taxi~
This is pretty much the easiest song on this whole album. The song is
played in barre chords, but I wrote it regularly because it's much easier.

~Astair~
All credit for "Astair" goes to Chris Caceres (Unregistered).
the 2 *'s mean you repeat whats in between them, and then number-x is the
amount of repeats including the original, so 3x mean looped 3 times but
played 4 total.
h = hammer on
V = Down Strum
(Capo 4)

This song is played on a twelve string guitar. BUt, it sounds fine on a
regular 6 string.

~Sweet Rose~
**Capo on 1st**
Chords:
Intro: A E A D A E A
My sweet rose
As the two of us grow
I want you to know that nothing's quite as bad
As it seems when you're so sad
So remember my rose, remember my rose
My sweet rose
I'd like to say
I'd like to say no one always gets their way
And no one always thinks the same
My rose, remember my rose
When the seasons change
And the sky turns grey
When the leaves turn brown
I'll be around
My sweet rose
As the two of us change
I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose
When the seasons change
And the sky turns grey
When the leaves turn brown
I'll be around
I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose
My sweet rose, I want to be
I want to be the one to hold you tight
Have faith in me, I'll be your light
My rose, remember my rose
When the seasons change
And the sky turns grey
When the leaves turn brown
I'll be around
I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose
I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose

Suuuunshine
I'd really like to tell you
Oh my suuuunshine
Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed
How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la la

You will get the best of me
Oh sooooomeday
Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now
Sha la la la la la la la

I haven't included the strum pattern because it's easy to get the hang of
it.
