The Fog ukulele

The Fog

• Fm

As the other chords' version might sound fine but is completely different to what Rachel 
plays, here is the one given me by a good man who managed to figure it out. It sounds 
really good and fairly close to the original to me.

Here are the (few) chords played:
Fm = x24432
Fm/Eb = x04432
Fm/Db = 3x4432
Em = x13321
Fm/C = 2x4432
C9 = 212020
C7/Bb = x7897x
C7/Bb (Bb down octave) = 078970
Ebsus2sus4 = x02430
Db = 355433
C = 24432
Db6 = 355400
Bbm = 022000
Eb = 577655
G = x4666x

Put a capo on the 6th fret and follow this basic picking (Fm example):

I hope it is clear enough... yes I know that the names of the chords are not related to 
the capo (forgive me), but the fingering is.
Shall we begin then?

INTRO (PICKED):
Fm Fm/Eb Fm/Db Fm Em
Fm Fm/C Fm/Db Fm/Bb C9

VERSE (PICKED):
Fm                   Fm/Eb            Fm/Db               Fm
Deep deep down under mountains I have heard them call my name
       Em
Will I play their little game and tell them
Fm                       Fm/Eb           Fm/Db       Fm
Deep deep down I've been waiting for the fighting to begin
C7/Bb
Hold my hands on
Fm                    Fm/Eb             Fm/Db        Fm
Deep sleep now, under skies of pressing dark upon my dress
Em                                        Fm
Watch it turn from white to red under the bone clean moon
     Fm/Eb            Fm/Db           Fm
I am clinging to this burning shaking bed
C7/Bb
Must I hold my hands up
C7/Bb (Bb down octave)
My bloody hands up

CHORUS (STRUM!):
Fm Ebsus2sus4 Bb
Fm C Db6

Fm            Ebsus2sus4 Bb
Mercy, mercy, I've been caught
Fm            Em
Lying with my darkest thought
Bbm          Eb               G      Fm   C 
 Db6
They grab my wings and pin me to the wall
Fm                     Ebsus2sus4 Bb
Oh light please try to hold your ground
Fm                  Em
Lift me up before I drown
    Bbm                  Eb
The din creeps 'neath my skin
            G                Fm
And I can't hear no Goodness speak

INTRO (PICKED):
Fm Fm/Eb Fm/Db Fm Em
Fm Fm/C Fm/Db Fm/Bb C9

VERSE (PICKED):
         Fm
From the neighbouring town
          Fm/Eb            Fm/Db         Fm
There's a boy who comes to sing upon our street
  Em                                 Fm
I watch him from the window thinking deep deep down
        Fm/Eb        Fm/Db         Fm
He'd be richer if he just became a thief
           C7/Bb
Instead he holds his hands out
Fm                 Fm/Eb
I walk down to the river
          Fm/Db         Fm
Stand and shiver in the wind
      Em                                  Fm
Throw stones to watch them sinking to the icy blue
       Fm/Eb         Fm/Db  Fm
Let it rise above my ankles
        C7/Bb
I don't want this darkness
C7/Bb (Bb down octave)          Fm  C Db6
But the sun just falls from the sky

CHORUS (SSSSTRUM!)
CHORUS (PALM MUTE, STRRRRUM!)
INTRO (PICKED)

If anything I wrote is wrong it is because it is 2:38 in the morning... and if it is 
right instead, then thank that good man, as I already said.
Have fun spending - at least - one week learning how to play this song.
I shall soon be writing the tab to Sleep aswell.
Good night for now!
Marlene
