Really, the best way to look at it is you hit the 'A' string followed quickly by the 'G' string for each
chord...then you follow the patterns of...
A#-C-Dm-C (pause) A#-C-Dm (pause) [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]
A#-C-Dm-C (pause) A#-C-Dm (pause) [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]
A#-Dm-C-A# A#-Dm-C-A# Dm-C-A# (pause) [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3]
A#-C-Dm-C A#-C-C-A# A#-C-Dm-C A#-C-Dm-Dm-? [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..]
===========================================================
Rest of the Song:
===========================================================
Then the intro ends, and the drums kick in, and the rest can be found tabbed everywhere...basically...it's the
same barr chords...
Dm-10,12,12,10,10,10
C-8,10,10,9,8,8
** Important note...A#~C means slide the A# chord into the C chord...
[[[ Verse ]]]
Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions..
You, laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking...
Say love you drive me to distraction...
(some Violin plucking here, don't know it)
Oh, helena, do you believe that we might Last a
Thousand years or more if not for this, our flesh and blood
it ties, you and me right up tie me down
[[[ Chorus ]]]
.....Celebrate we will.........cause life is short and sweet for certain...
We're climbing two by two........to be sure these days continue...
Things we cannot change..
(ok, more violin plucking while dave just plays F-A#-Am-Gm over and over)
Now, you just have to keep going...two more verses and two more choruses...just as above...
Just keep up with the 3 Chord patterns...
1) Dm A#~C F A#-Am-Gm (main one in verses, remember A#~c means A# slides into a C)
2) F C Gm A# Am (maind one in chorus)
3) F A#-Am-Gm (used in various places)
==========================================================
hope this helps, it's a great song, and my very first tab ever...so, please send any comments to
