Tabs

and I've been wanting to learn this amazing song for quite a while
so I decided to tab it out from the video.
well..Daniel's part at least

the version in the video's tuned to drop D, with a capo on 5
if you want to play in the same key as the studio version, the capo goes on 4 and
it's still in drop D MajorD

heres the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1rYqBCog0o

hopefully my way of writing it out is understandable :p
I couldn't really think of how else to write it out without it looking even more cluttered,
but heres what it's made up of


The main riff is played through the intro and most of the verse..
e|----------------------------------|--------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------|--------------------------------|
G+G|----------------------------------|----------------0---------------|
D MajorD|--0---2---4---7---4---4-0-2---2-0-|0---2---4---7---7-6-2-0-2---2---|
A augmentedA|--0---0---0---0---5---5---2---2---|0---0---0---0---x---x---2---4---|
D MajorD|--0---0---0---0---5---5---2---2---|0---0---0---0---5---5---2---2---|

aside from that, the chords used in the verse are some sort of E7, what I think is GM7
and B minorBm
in drop D MajorD and in the context of the song, they look like this:

  E7E7 G7G7 B minorBm
e|----------2--|
BB|----------3--|
G+G|----------4--|
D MajorD|--0---4---4--|
A augmentedA|--2---5---2--|
D MajorD|--2---5---0--|

The chorus uses a bunch more chords..the names may not be proper, but..you get the idea
least


 A/F# G7G7 D MajorD  C majorC  G5G5
e|----------2---0-------|
BB|--2-------3---1-------|
G+G|--2---2---2---0-------|
D MajorD|--2---4---0---2---0---|
A augmentedA|--4---5---0---3---5---|
D MajorD|--4---5---0-------5---|


For the part where it's just the riff, I'll just put 'riff'..
theres a '*' in there, where I'm not really 100% sure about what's going on..but I think
close..

anyway, here goes-

(riff)
If you hated music


would you be a mother with a family?

(riff)
if your songs weren't written

                  E7E7
would I still get shivers from your silence

G7G7       B minorBm    G7G7    (riff)
until tears are welled up in my eyelids?

(riff)
if your duty wasn't earthly


would you understand it's beauty?

A/F#            G7G7
please do these things for me

A/F#           G7G7        D MajorD   E7E7       C majorC   G5G5
please know that you have held one thousand years (by one thousand fingertips)

(riff)

(riff)
if your words weren't charming


would they still sit on fences in my eardrums?

(riff)
if your voice was harmful


would it be a stormcloud

   *E7   G7G7   B minorBm    G7G7    (riff)
on the golden bay of summer's starting?

(riff)
if I didn't know you


I would not be nearly as inspired

A/F#            G7G7
please do these things for me

A/F#           G7G7        D MajorD   E7E7       C majorC   G5G5   C majorC G5G5
please know that you have held one thousand years (by one thousand fingertips)
