. . soul
[picking same as verse 1]:
when will this aching pass
when will this night be through
i wanna hear the breaking glass ($) but I only
feel the steel of the red hot truth
Ds9
and I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
i need some insanity of that temporary kind
tell me how will I ever be the same
when I know that that woman is whispering your name

* Don't PLAY the c at the first fret on the b string, but it's helpful to
anchor your index finger there
$ - don't play 'D Dx' on the third line of the verse
+ on the very last note of the song, bend the g upto an a by pushing down the
g string BEHIND the nut (but don't expect to be in tune afterwards),
alternatively, just hammer on to the second fret on the g string

x02220 - A
xx0232 - D
xx0230 - Dsus9
xx0010 - 'Dx' ?? Dsus4(add7,9) ??
xx0233 - Dsus4
022100 - E
320003 - G
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
~~ is vibrato
-x- pick, but mute the string at the neck
/ is bend up
0.5
/ is bend up half a half step
Sounds great on a 12 string! Any improvements welcome.
