In Your Eyes by Jeffrey Gaines

Tabs 

In Your Eyes (Live version)

Performed by Jeffrey Gaines. Written by Peter Gabriel.

Transcribed by James M Lawrence. ([email protected])

You probably will need the recording to get a really good feel for the
song. It is on the single of "Headmasters of Mine".
For starters, the primitive chords are:

intro
Chord diagramB minorBm Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramD MajorD  (4 times)  (technically, the Chord diagramA augmentedA is always Asus6)

1st verse
Chord diagramB minorBm Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramD MajorD
Chord diagramB minorBm Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramG+G  (4 times)

bridge
Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramG+G  (4 times)

Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramG+G
Chord diagramG MajorG  Chord diagramG+G

chorus
Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramD MajorD  (6 times)
E,Esus4,E,Esus4

2nd intro
Chord diagramB minorBm Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramD MajorD
Chord diagramB minorBm Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramD MajorD

2nd verse(same as 1st)
bridge
chorus

The tab is hard to write because it is very syncopated and so many
of the notes are played quitely while others are louder. There
even are some instances in this tab where the marked note is hardly
played, if at all. I put parenthesis around the notes that I thought
were the most de-emphasized. The "|" line means stop the strings
and/or strum with the strings stopped.

The intro to the chorus is just a repeated G.

...this is generally the same for the rest of the chorus.
There are places where the Chord diagramE MajorE and Chord diagramG+G are strummed a few times more.

The second verse is pretty much the same form as the first, with
minor variations, and the obvious pauses.

I will eventually sumbit a revised edition of this song that
would smooth out some of the unclear parts. In any case, don't
kill yourself trying to learn it exactly; I'm sure Jeffrey
Gaines couldn't play it again precisely the same way.
