In Shallow Seas We Sail

Emery

Text File

This is one of my favorite songs and it wasn't on here so I went ahead and transcribed 
A really interesting fact worth noting is that this song is in standard tuning while most 
their other songs are a half-step down.

Killing me softly without a   word.
(Without a word)
