calling it).


CAPO ON FIRST FRET (all chords relative to CAPO as 0 fret)



Chords:


    E                 G                 D                 D5

E A D G B E       E A D G B E       E A D G B E       E A D G B E

0 2 2 1 0 0       3 2 0 0 3 3       X 0 0 2 3 2       X X X 0 5 5

    

D3


E A D G B E

X X X 0 3 3



I don't have a clue what those last two chords are.  For the sake of getting 
this tabbed out, we'll call them D5 (5th fret) and D3 (3rd fret), respectively.


Here's the intro…


x--------2--0----------2--0---------2--0--------0------------------

x-----3-------------3------------3---------3---------------3-------

x--------------------------------------------------0---------------

x--0------------2--------------------------------------------------

x-----------------------------2------------------------------------

x------------------------------------------------------------------





x--------2h3p2--0--------2h3p2--0---------2h3p2--0------0----------

x-----3---------------3---------------3--------------3----------3--

x----------------------------------------------------------0-------

x--0---------------2-----------------------------------------------

x----------------------------------2-------------------------------

x------------------------------------------------------------------






Then Cadogan (I'm guessing it was Kevin) just improvises variations of this 
structure throughout the verses…

Until we get to……

"wanna test this ti-I-ime"----here you go into 

E  G  D   

"seems that things, they could have been different, both of us, both of us"

and the chorus goes


E  G  D  D5-D3-D
E  G  D  D5-D3-D


Then we go back into the same picking structure from before.

There is a sort of bridge, where Stephen sings (and I'm not right on with the
 lyrics here)…

"To understand you, I feel you, I claim to understand you, But I feel you, 
It's gonna take a long time…"

It's the same E  G  D  D5-D3-D structure under that too, just a different rhythm.


And that be the whole song.  Listen to the song for the rhythms, they're 
pretty easy.  Again, lyrics may not be right, and this is my first tab, so 
feel free to listen to the song, and find your own style with it.  Also, a 
lot of this song is Arion's bass, so it will sound a wee different.  Thanks 
peeps!
