The Waterboys - Spring Comes to Spiddal
To play without capo set transpose to +2. I think it sounds better with the capo.
Tabbed from the version on Room to Roam Remastered Edition.
CAPO 2
Well the Clights are on in Standun's and the Fspell has been Cbroken
The Amroadside Cteahouse Gdoor is wide G7open
A Csign on the wall says, "FAmerican also Cspoken"
As spring comes Dto CSpiddal
The Cvillage girls go walking Fby without their Ccoats
The AmIrish Gaelic Ccollege is aGlive again with fG7olk
CFarmers gather talking freFed from Winter's Cyoke
As spring comes Dto CSpiddal
A Gtourist with a Ctelescope and a Gfunny looking CGerman bloke
And a Fbilly goat Call invoke the summer soon to Gbloom
On a Csoft and fresh Atlantic air a Fmist of pollen Cfloats
On AmGalway Bay I Cspy a gaily Dpainted fishing Gboat
There's a Crustle around the boreens and a Fsong on every Cthroat
As spring comes Dto CSpiddal
C F C
Am C G
C F C
D C
Not 100% sure about the G7 but it is my personal preference to play it.
