by The Jellyrox
Rebel Tide by The Jellyrox is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of G. It uses the chords G, Dsus, Em, C2 and D. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
This is the acoustic version of the track Rebel Tide from the Embellish EP
(listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/thejellyrox/rebel-tide-coffee-house).
This is an amazing song, and really easy and really fun to play.
The only thing I would suggest is being careful of the timing
of the chords. The transitions are syncopated, but once you
get the hang of it, it's a piece of cake. Enjoy!

G
I'm shooting for the stars to hit the moon

Mapping out a course for both my shoes

Father won't you raise the sun early?

If you do this one last thing for me I'll be your soldier
Em C2 G D
And it takes you by surprise
Em C2 G D
Like a rebel tide
Em C2 G Dsus D
Like lightning from the sky has been searching for you
Em C2 G D
And it splits you like a knife

The moment that it strikes
Em C2 G Dsus D
When you realize that death was looking for you.

I try to keep my hopes above my doubts

Try to keep my thoughts above my mouth
Em C2 Dsus D

Miss it by a mile and then some
Em C2 Dsus D
My insides are thirsty for whatever drink you're pouring
