Most of these tabs have been collected from the now defunct Unofficial Blue Nile Website. At some point I should make a link to a downloadable version.

Guitar Tablature for Buoy

Buoy - Mick Karn

CHORDS

Am  - x02210
Dm  - xx0231
Em  - 022000
Dm7 - xx0211
C   - x32010
G   - 320003

Note::::::
The chorus has proved to be troublesome as it sounds to me as
if it is Em all the way through, but that Mr Karn adds movement by the
bass phrases he plays. There is an Eb to E then A in there somewhere
just before the riff.
However I found sticking the occasional Asus2 x02200 adds colour and
movement to an acoustic rendition. Give it a try.

Em                   Riff
We'll sail on a river 
Em                       Riff
Way out to the Baltic sea
Em                        Riff
Love will keep us together
Em                                    Riff
And the tide will draw you close to me
Em                  Riff 
Never words so true,      
Em                  Riff
Never words so wise 
Em                        Riff
Love will keep us together
Em                              Am
Cause there's more to this than meets the eye


I burn a candle in your place
I picture the passions on your face
Feelings that rise on a wave and fall away

All the pleasures have returned
All of the lessons I should have learned
Return again to light, for us to see

You're like a map of buried gold
I search for treasures in your soul
And when I'm gone, you'll know I will come back to you

We'll sail on a river, way down to the salty sea
Love will keep us together
And the tide will draw you close to me
(Never words so true, never words so wise)
Love will keep us together
'Cause there's more to this than meets the eye

I'm like a mountain made of stone
I'm like a new day dawning
I'll be here every morning, close to you
