Eric Bachmann - Man O' War
I'm pretty sure this is not how the song is played, guess he uses some alternative 
tuning, but I got no idea which so this works pretty good for standard tuning.
Intro: D  
DFloating in the cold watAer the Gghosts of sorrow haunt the deeDp
DReaching down to drag thAe ruins Gand roam the lone deserted stDreets
DOf an old abandoned Atemple Gburied in the narrow straiDt
DOff the coast of TAarifa, SpaGinG  
DGypsies scatter through the desAert acrGoss the Atlas Mountain RaDnge
DHoaring remnants from the DeAvil froGm the Empires iron reigDn
DWhile cluttered down the mouths of rAivers wGidowed lovers bathe and clDean
DSilken scarves embroidered Afor their brand new QGueen
AAnd every time she rises up the ocean sDinks
AHer memory drags a drape of a thousand aDngry stings
GAnd like the moAon doesn't mDind iGf the sun dAoesn't shinDe
GThe sea doesn't cDare if you'rAe lonesome tonigGht
GLike the lovDe that she giveAs condescendingly tGries
GIn its way to comfort Ayou
GSet adrift into her swarm-man Do warA  
GCaught up in her dangling sting-off the DshoreA  
GOf a foreign brown sand beach as blue aBm/As bottles Acover yoGu
DMany messengers and rebeAls have Gcome and gone without a traceD  
DAnd many more will come AtomorroGw and many more will be erasedD  
DCause out beyond the docks of ARota upon the Gbottom of the Dsea
Along the miles of copper cable from the Gulf of Cadiz
They tap the lines to hear the sounds that start the songs the rebels sing
And drag a net to seine the bottom for the purse the bastards bring
And like a lion don't mind if a lamb takes her time
A beast doesn't care if you surrender tonight
Cause a beast knows she'll get what she wants in good time

Eric Bachmann - Man O' War

I'm pretty sure this is not how the song is played, guess he uses some alternative

tuning, but I got no idea which so this works pretty good for standard tuning.

Intro:

D A G D

Floating in the cold water the ghosts of sorrow haunt the deep

D A G D

Reaching down to drag the ruins and roam the lone deserted streets

D A G D

Of an old abandoned temple buried in the narrow strait

D A G G

Off the coast of Tarifa, Spain

D A G D

Gypsies scatter through the desert across the Atlas Mountain Range

D A G D

Hoaring remnants from the Devil from the Empires iron reign

D A G D

While cluttered down the mouths of rivers widowed lovers bathe and clean

D A G

Silken scarves embroidered for their brand new Queen

A D

And every time she rises up the ocean sinks

A D

Her memory drags a drape of a thousand angry stings

G A D G A D

And like the moon doesn't mind if the sun doesn't shine

G D A G

The sea doesn't care if you're lonesome tonight

G D A G

Like the love that she gives condescendingly tries

G A

In its way to comfort you

G D A

Set adrift into her swarm-man o war

G D A

Caught up in her dangling sting-off the shore

G Bm/A A G

Of a foreign brown sand beach as blue as bottles cover you

D A G D

Many messengers and rebels have come and gone without a trace

D A G D

And many more will come tomorrow and many more will be erased

D A G D

Cause out beyond the docks of Rota upon the bottom of the sea

Along the miles of copper cable from the Gulf of Cadiz

They tap the lines to hear the sounds that start the songs the rebels sing

And drag a net to seine the bottom for the purse the bastards bring

And like a lion don't mind if a lamb takes her time

A beast doesn't care if you surrender tonight

Cause a beast knows she'll get what she wants in good time
