British Sea Power - Canvey Island
Tabbed by: Nasher (ns)

Canvey Island is a beautiful song. Someone has already done the chords on UG, but
the chords are mostly wrong - so this is the correct version :)

Verse 1:

[A] H [C#m]5 N [G#m] 1
[A] Killed a [C#m]wild swan [G#m]
[A] It was a [C#m]kind of omen[G#m]
[A] Of everyt[C#m]hing to come [G#m]

Pre-Chorus:

[F#m] I can't believe it's happening
[G#m] And that it's happening now
[F#m]I can't believe it's happening
[G#m]It's coming true somehow

Verse 2:

On Canvey Island, 1953
Many lives were lost
With the records of a football team

Pre-Chorus:

I can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening
It's coming true somehow

Chorus:

[A]Don't you think it's strange, you know
[B]The way it all works out [G#m]
[A]Brace yourself for storms and Summer [B]droughts, [G#m]soooooooo

[--]Repeat Verse chords (no singing)

Pre-Chorus: (note - extra E chord)

[F#m]Sometimes it's hard to tell
[E]If it's going [G#m]well
[F#m]You know the odds against it
[E]Were so phenom[G#m]enal

Chorus:

I can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening
It's coming true somehow
Chorus: (with distortion)

Don't you think it's strange, you know
The way it all works out
Brace yourself for storms and Summer droughts

Don't you think it's strange, you know
The way it all works out
You start with everything then end without

[E]Oh! [G#m][E]
[C#m]Oh, oh![B]
[E]Ohhh...[G#m](etc.)[E]
[C#m]Oh, oh![B]
