|-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 chord: -2-
-3-
(with the lyric:) -2-
And it hurts... ---
---
---
*There's a short pause and then the song alternates between an A chord and
D 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) (D)
|--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 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
janman@gte.net. 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.
