The Venice Canals – Passenger
Nghệ sĩ: Passenger
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
Attempt to capture chords from the new song Passenger posted in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He fingerpicks the entire song with lots of his usual hammer-ons. The notes in parentheses are individual
walking notes up the high E string (listed relative to the capo in the same way as the chords).
The G/F# in the chorus is a walk down from the G to the Em. The Intro tab can be played for the Intro and
the instrumental section after the first chorus.
Capo 5 to play along with the original video he posted 05 April 2020:

Note that he changed a couple of the lyrics from this original version to the version he released on his
Patchwork album. In verse 4 he changed "sunset" to "sunrise" and in the final chorus he changed "And there’s
nothing much to hold onto for now" to "And there’s nothing you can hold onto for now" to match the first
chorus.

ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Well, I know there’s pain and suffering
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dadd4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You can feel the tension in the air
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dadd4[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
But they can see the stars shine in Beijing
ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
And hear the birds’ song in Times Square

ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But I know you’re feeling insecure
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dadd4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
From all this change that's come to pass
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dadd4[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
But the sky is blue in Singapore
ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
And they can smell the ocean in Belfast
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Now don’t get me wrong
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G/F#[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
This ain’t no happy song
ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And there’s nothing you can hold onto for now
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Dadd4[/ch
But when you’re feeling low, my dear
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G/F#[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Just know the water’s crystal clear
ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the fish are swimming in the Venice canals

to the end of all this than we are today
