TAKE ME DOWN - Written and performed by James Iha
Transcribed by Adam Morris
I have a feeling many of you who were bagging this song earlier
have changed your minds. It IS a great song..really grew on me!
Anyway, here is my take on how it is played.
Tuning:
Take note: I have four (kinda 5) different E's in here.
Sorry there so many chords, but this is as accurate as I get :)

Intro: (i) Emaj7, (i)
(i)
and take me down, to the underground
(i)
won't you take me down, to the underground
why oh why, there is no light
(BASS NOTE: )
and if i can't sleep, can you hold my life

And Allie_________________ (I know these aren't the lyrics, but this bit
is not written in the lyrics)
and all i see is you
(i) Emaj7, (i)
(i)
and take my hand, i lost where i began
(i)
in my heart i know all of my faults
will you help me understand
and i believe in you
you're the other half of me
(Bass Note: High )
soothe... and heal...
when you sleep, when you dream,
i'll be there if you need me, whenever i hear you sing...
#
there is a sun, it'll come, the sun, i hear them call me down
#
i held you once, a love that once, and life had just begun
and you're all i see...
#
and trumpets blew, and angels flew on the other side
and you're all i see, and you're all i'll need
there's a love that god puts in your heart.
