This song is being played with the help of a capodaster at the first fret. So actually you play the whole song in C# instead of C, but the song is transcribed as if you are playing in normal tuning. The song is played in a neat fingerpicking style. The high E is never played. Instead, the C (played at the B-string) is played continually throughout the whole song.
The chords might look a bit scary, but just take a normal C chord. C/B means that same chords, but only with a B in the bass. Just lower the bass note of the normal C one fret lower and there you have the C/B. All other chords follow that same principle. Just as you make sure that you continuously play the C note on the second string, first fret.
When you look at the chords, you can see a bassline walking from C - B - F - G and back to C. This ‘walking bass’ is played solely on the fifth (A) and sixth (E) string. Only in the chorus the fourth string(D) is used in the C/F* , C/E chords. (C/F* has an * because this chord played with a different bass note compared to the ‘normal’ C/F)
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL
Waves of salt and sand in whispers
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL
Held in your hand
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL
A magic heart that takes you away
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL
From the things you just don’t understand
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL
Color me a tragedy in blue and I will think of you
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL
It’s funny how your heart desires
DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL
What your soul can never let you do
DO/FA DO/MI DO DO/SI DO/LA (Am7)
And you still wait hiding your head so low
DO DO/SI DO/LA DO/FA
The silence was broken
DO/SOL DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL
Here you didn’t let go
So catch your breath in a jar of steel
To keep till your day of passing
In a box underneath your soul kept safe
With only your g-d watching
And you still wait
Hiding your head so low
The silence was broken
Here you didn’t let go
DO/FA DO/MI DO/FA DO/MI
Now I will, I will
DO/FA DO/SOL DO/FA# DO/FA DO DO/SI DO/FA DO/SOL
I will, I will never know
Waves of salt and sand in whispers
Held in your hand
A magic heart that takes me away
From the things you just don’t understand
So color me a tragedy in blue and I will think of you
It’s funny how your heart desires
What your soul can never let you do
And you still wait
Hiding your head so low
The silence was broken
Here you didn’t let go
DO/FA DO/MI DO/FA DO/MI
Now I will, I will
DO/FA DO/MI DO/FA# DO/FA DO/SOL
I will, I will never know
