Crystalised-The xx (Acoustic Cover)


Yes, I did write the one on ultimate-guitar but messed it up in the process,
So here is it correctly:
Intro
Guitar 1 (male) 
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
b|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
g|---11-11-10-9--------------------------------------------------------|
d|-9-------------11-11-11-12-14-12---2-2-2-2---5-5-5---slide up-9------|   x2 
a|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 2 
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
b|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
g|--------------11-11-11--7-9-7-----------------------------------------|
d|-9-9-12-12-12-------------------9-9-12-12-12-11---9-11-9--------------|      x2
a|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Guitar 1: this is throughout the whole song 
e|---------------------------------------------|
 b|---------------------------------------------| 
g|---------------------------------------------| 
d|-14---9---7-------14---9---11---12-----------| 
a|-14---9---7-------14---9---11---12-----------| 
e|-12---7---5-------12---7---9----10-----------|  

You've applied the pressure to have me crystalize. And you've got the faith that I could bring paradise.
 I'll forgive and forget before I'm paralyzed. Do I have to keep up the pace to keep you satisfied? High.  T
hings have gotten closer to the sun, and I've done things in small doses. So don't think that I'm pushing you away when you're the one that I've kept closest.  
High. x4 

Guitar 2 [2]

a|-----------------------11----11-11-11-11-11-11-11----| 
e|-----------------------------------------------------|  

You don't need to move slow taking steps in my directions, The sound resounds, echos, does it lessen your affection? No. 
You say I'm foolish for pushing this aside, Burn down our home if I could be so bold.

Glaciers have melted to the sea, I wish the tide would take me over. 
I've been down on my knees, and you just keep on getting closer.  High. x4

(Nothing) 
(Things have gotten closer to the sun, and I've done things in small doses) 
Glaciers have melted to the sea, I wish the tide would take me over. 
(So don't think that I'm pushing you away, when you're the one that I've kept closest) 
I've been down on my knees, and you just keep on getting closer.  Go slow. x5

  4. You've reached a 9x5 mile island off the coast of france, with a 90,000 population. (as impossible as that sounds)

    LOVE your covers.
    Do you have any of your own stuff?
    It'd be good from what I hear of the covers!

    Check out my blog if you have time

  5. thank you everyone for the comments!

    "peaches"- thank you! and yes, we do have our own stuff but we're working on it. our last song was put up over a year ago so you know how it goes- voices get lower and new influences (musically). but we hope to record some of our new stuff soon and put it on our myspace which is http://www.myspace.com/modernthingsband
    so look out for the new ones within the next month.


    also, this is really crazy, but I actually came across your blog earlier today without seeing this comment or actually knowing who you are! so just wanted to say that.
    thanks for listening!
