Down and Gone
by Kina Grannis
tab by Poncherello
Hi there all you Kina fans, this is the first tab i've posted and it was a bit
more challenging then i'd like to admit. Anyway just a few tidbits... Kina plays
this song with a capo on the 3rd fret. But since i have a Y chromosome and i cant
sing as high or as well as Kina i prefer tuning the guitar down half a step and
playing the song from there. For you guyz learning how to play this you'll
probably agree with me.
So this is what i could whip up in short notice... a few people on youtube
requested the tab and this is completely what i've come up with on my own. May
not be 100% correct but its pretty close. Follow along with Kina's youtube video
and you should be set. I can put more detailed tabs up if some people find it
necessary or if you have questions i'll answer what i can. Just drop me a
message on here and i'll get back to ya.

For this song you have to focus on the bass notes and simply let the open
strings ring out. The X's are where you slap the strings lightly, this is a
bit difficult to get used to but it's important to get it down first to get
into the groove of the song.

Lyrics:
Verse1:
E C
Blue like my hands
G C
Blue like my heart
G C G
I drown inside
E C G
So it came that i settled for
C G C G
This raft in mind
(PRE-CHORUS)
E C D C
Drift away, away, away down
Verse2:
You never fell i picked you up
I'm waking up early
No one ever feels like they're perfect
But i feel we're perfect here
Pre-Chorus:
I've got to speak
My eyes can't keep
Chrous:
G E
this secret down and gone away
I'm feeling it shouldn't be long
G E
until we both remember why
E
Why we kept each other around all this time
Verse3:
I sensed you'd come around, boy
And here we stand
It is so strange how we've come so far and nothing's changed
Pre-Chrous
We are what we are
Come so far
Chorus:
To keep me down and gone away
I'm feeling it shouldn't be long until we both remember why
Why we kept each other around all this time
