Complete Relinquish Utter Abandon

• G

The original key is in F#, not G... so as a guitarist you'll want to drop
tune down a half step. On a piano it's way easier to play in F#, and this
song sounds better in F#, so the tuning should be down a half step.

This was a bit difficult to transcribe because for one his voice is loud and
it's hard to hear the piano, and it sounds like he's using a lot of 
non-chord tones. That said, listen to the song while playing it to try to 
get some of those non-chord tones he's using, as well as his positioning. It
also seems like he's using a lot of open fifths, something to be mindful of.


I'm sure this isn't perfect, so if someone has a better ear for it there 
might need to be some corrections!


G                        D/F#
So here I am broken open. 
                    G        D/F#        Am     Am-add9   Am  
Emptied of myself,     of my regrets. 
G                  D/F#                    G               D/F#          Am  Am-add9   Am      
You said you'd soon return, so I'll light a fire, guard the flame and let it burn 
         G                        D/F# 
So here I am broken open, yours alone.
          G                  D/F#            C   C7
Await the day for you to come, to go back home.
         G7                D/F#         C                           C7        C  
So please don't you tarry long, in your presence is where I want to belong 
         G7                D/F#         C                       C7        C
So please don't you tarry long, here I am letting go, yours alone 
G               D/F#               G        D/F#         Am           Am-add9
So here I am broken open. Yours alone,        yours alone Lord. 
G              D/F#             Am    Am-add9 Am
This is me, broken open. Yours alone
