Where To Begin

This is an adaptation of Lament01's tab. Neither his nor mine is entirely accurate,

but I made a few changes and clarifications that I thought might be helpful to others.

This is how I play it. Again: THIS IS NOT AN EXACT TRANSCRIPTION, BUT AN ACOUSTIC ADAPTATION

(Capo on 6th fret)

Note: don't play the top 'e' string throughout; it just sounds bad

Chords used:

C (032010)

Cadd6 (032210)

D (200232)

Em (022000)

G (320033)

Also, throughout the song there is a little flourish that comes at the end of some of the

lines. I've tabbed it as "G C G" but it's easiest to play by just moving the fingers you've

got on the low and strings up and then back down, like this:

e|-x---x---x--|

B|-3---3---2--|

G|-0---0---0--|

D|-0---2---0--|

A|-2---3---2--|

E|-3---0---3--|

Intro:

e|--------------|

B|--------------|

G|--------------|

D|------0h2p0---| x 4

A|--------------|

E|-3------------|

followed by: x 2

(you can get away with doing the G as (320010) if you want-- basically taking the top two

fingers of a C and moving them one string down)

Up and up and up I climb,

When I came up I was so far behind,

My head takes a lickin',

But my heart keeps on tickin,

Just the same.

Always startin' over but somehow,

I always know where to begin.

Round and round and round I ride,

And just when I looked I hadn't even began,

To feel the effect,

A cool, dark fever,

On the brain.

That feelin' takin' over,

Like a holy rollercoaster,

To the grave.

How can I await the day?

And last the night I'm here to see?

How do I await the mother load?

It's the art of feeling naked in your clothes.

Again, again, again I tried,

That's how I knew I would never be denied,

That face in the mirror,

Who could it be? It was my own.

That cool, dark figure,

That's when I knew I was alone.

On and on and on I drive,

When will I know I have finally arrived?

So far I've gone, so far to go,

It never ends.

Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin
