I saw the first version to this and it didn't sound quite right. Marketa plays this
a capo on the 2nd fret, which the previous tab recognized. In this tab I'm showing all the
used in relation to the capo. This is my first tab but I know this is 100% accurate.
seen this song played live by Mar and not only was it stunningly beautiful to say the
but I was able to see how she fretted each chord and where. I love Mar and I love this
Have fun playing it, just be sure your heart isn't broken when you sing it...

INTRO: Am7/E G5 X2
La la la la
[Am7/E]Theres diamonds growing in the mountains
[G5]Beneath the pressure of all time
[Am7/E]They grow in hope and expectation
[G5]Waiting for your hands to find
[F]Cause only you could reach inside me
[Am]And figure out the worth
[F]Of a life I lived providing
[Am]What it was you needed most
Am7/E G5 x2
La la la la lah
And if [Am7/E]everything is measured by the
[G5]hole it leaves behind then this
[Am7/E]mountain has been levelled
And theres n[G5]o more diamonds in the mine
[F]Go on now just leave it
[Am]The timing wasnt right
And the fo[F]rce that swept us both away
Was too s[Am]trong for us to fight
Am7/E G5 x2
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_swell_season/fantasy_man_crd_ver_2.html )
F[F]antasy Man you are a[Am]lways
o[F]ne step ahead of [Am]me
W[Bm]ell I never heard the war[A]ning
O[G5]h I havent got things r[Bm]ight
Y[Bm]et the sun came out this mor[A]ning
A[G5]nd filled my room with li[Bm]ght
S[Bm]o move on now, you are [A]forgiven
L[G5]ets put it down to l[Bm]ife
T[Bm]he story of two lo[A]vers
W[G5]ho danced both edges of the k[Bm]nife
Am7/E G5 x2
(hand claps, knee slaps)
[Am7/E]In the station youre standing
[G5]Not knowing what you want
[Am7/E]And the secrets that were defending
[G5]Have become our only bond
[F]Just be patient while I wait here
[Am]Our journeys out of sync
[F]While youre out there running in the chaos
[Am]I need some time to think
Am7/E G5 x4
oh oh oh oh...
la da da da da da dum da dum
F[F]antasy Man you are a[Am]lways
