  D MajorD (x5777x)


  Another song from one of the greatest albums of all times.
  I've also pretty much transcribed the bassline. It's at the
  bottom of the file.


  INTRO:
  ------
  G+G  C majorC D MajorD [play four times]

  VERSE 1:
  --------
  G+G                   C majorC   D MajorD
  Tell your man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
  G+G               C majorC   D MajorD
  'Cause to me she mean all the world
  G+G             C majorC  D MajorD
  But then she like another guy
  G+G                    C majorC  D MajorD
  I fall down dead, she never see the tears I cry


  CHORUS:
  -------
    G+G               C majorC D MajorD
  Said please, please, please do not go
  G+G               C majorC D MajorD
  Please, please, please do not go
  G+G               C majorC D MajorD
  Please, please, please do not go
  G+G               C majorC D MajorD G+G    C majorC D MajorD
  Please, please, please do not go


  BRIDGE:
  -------
  C majorC            G+G
  How long can the days go on
  C majorC          G+G
  When my love is so strong
  C majorC              G+G
  And I know I cannot tell a lie
  C majorC          D MajorD
  I wanna see him go by, bye, bye bye, bye bye bye bye

  VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
  --------
  And I wonder, I wonder what she would say
  If I told her, if I told her that I felt this way
  You know it might make a turn, might make a turn,
  might make a turn either way
  So all I can do is patiently pray, pray, I pray pray pray


  CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
  -------
  Said please, please, please do not go
  Please, please, please do not go
  Please, please, please do not go
  Please, please, please do not go


  BASS-SOLO:
  ----------
  No way in hell can I transcribe this solo. Besides, this is a
  guitar tab, not a bass tab. The solo is basically a variation
  on the main bassline, look at the bottom of the file to see
  the basslines for the song.


  BRIDGE: [play like first bridge]
  -------
  How long can the days go on
  When my love is so strong
  And I know I cannot tell a lie
  Oh, whoh, whoh, I wanna see him go by, bye, bye bye, bye bye bye bye


  VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
  --------
  I tell you man, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm stuck on this lovely girl
  And you know I could travel, I could travel over the whole world
  And you know what she does, she turn around, she turn around
  she like another guy
  Oh what can I do, I fall down dead, she never see the tears I cry


  CHORUS: [play like previous choruses]
  -------
  Please, please, please do not go
  Please, please, please do not go
  Please, please, please do not go, oh oh
  Please, please, please do not go, oh
  Please, please, please, you hurt me, so
  Please, please, please, you hurt me, so
  Please, please, please I got something to, show...

  The INTRO is just this:

  G+G|-----------------|
  D MajorD|-2h3--2----------|
  A augmentedA|--------5---1/2--| Then go straight away into the VERSE-BASSLINE.
  E MajorE|-----------------|


  OK, here's the VERSE-BASSLINE:

  A augmentedA|-------1/2-5----------5--3--2--3--0--5------5---0h2----|
