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

*Play Main Melody 2 times for intro (no lyrics)
*Then play Main Melody with Lyrics:



*Play Fill I and Ending I with lyric:
Misery so hollow


*Again play Main Melody 2 times no lyrics and then w/lyrics:

Hey you...

*Play Fill I, but replace Ending I with a D MajorD chord:  -2-
                           -3-
(with the lyric:)                  -2-
 And it hurts...                   ---
                           ---
                           ---

*There's a short pause and then the song alternates between an A augmentedA chord and
 D MajorD chord till the final outro. You'll have to listen to the song for the
rhythm--sorry!! There are hammer-ons for both chords as follows:

    (A augmentedA)               (D MajorD)
|--0---------------|      |--0>2-------------|
|--0>2-------------|      |--3---------------|
|--2---------------|      |--2---------------|
|--2---------------|      |--0---------------|
|--0---------------|      |--0---------------|
|--0---------------|      |--0---------------|


Take me home (5 times then the outro:)

*The outro is simply the Main Melody played ONCE ONLY and then
 play Fill I with the D MajorD chord ending to the lyric:
Say goodbye...


----


Here is my interpretation, using the two versions currently available as
a starting
point I condensed all the TAB to fit onto one page, so as to avoid
having to swap
pages around. While in the process I noticed gross errors in both
versions, which
I listened to my CD to correct (mostly in how the lyrics line up with
the changes).
I also fine tuned the lyrics to be as close to possible in written form.

The TAB is in a format that I formulated over the past couple of days.
I hope
it's easy to work with. Any comments or suggestions should be E-Mailed
to me at
[email protected]. Here is a quick breakdown of how my particular scheme
works:

Figures that are repeated are TAB'ed only once with a (fig #) over them.
When they come up later the "fig #" are written into the TAB lines.
Chord names are also given under repeated figures, to help, when space
permits.
Repitions are notated under the TAB lines as "x#". ("x2", i.e.)
This means repeat everything between the 2 "|" that the "x#" is on.
Groups of figures are notated as a "pattern" or "pat" similar to "fig"s.
In this file I numbered all the lyrics and placed which lines are sung
in the second (bottom) line under the TAB lines.
