  • As string number 3 and 4 are tuned to the same D, The picking of the
    chords is ambiguous, but as the third string has a totally different
    tonal color beeing tuned that low, I think my picking is the same as Joni's.
  • I've indicated the fingering of the right hand for the first two bars:
    Thumb(p)
    fingers(i,m,a)
  •  
    The three base notes in the third bar should be strummed with the thumb.
    As Joni goes high up on her board (up to fret number 15), I labeled the
  • higher frets with letters because I did not want to disturb the time
    vs distance in the TAB score:
     
  • frets 123456789 10 11 12 13 14 15
    in TAB: 123456789 A B C D E F

    all his seadreams come to me
     
  • City satins left at home I will not need them
    I believe him when he tells of loving me
    Something truthfull in the sea your lies will find you
  • Leave behind your streets he said and come to me
    Come down from the neon nights
    Come down from the tourist sites
  • Run down till the rain delights you
    You do not hide
    Sunlight will renew your pride
  • Skin white by skin golden
    Like a promise to be free
    Dolphins playing in the sea
  • All his seadreams come to me
     
    Seabird I have seen you fly above the pilings
  • I am smiling at your circles in the air
    I will come and sit by you wile he lies sleeping
    Fold your fleet wings I have brought some dreams to share
  • A dream that you love someone
    A dream that the wars are done
    A dream that you tell no one but the gray sea
  • They'll say that you're crazy
    And a dream of a baby rm
    Like a promise to be free
  • Children laughing out to sea
    All his seadreams come to me
    All his seadreams come to me
