This is my take at this wonderful song. I absolutely adore this version of it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K8yHfU6bSw) and took this and not the studio version as basis for my tab. He plays it capo 5 so I am guessing (hoping) he has his guitar tuned one step down. Maybe not, maybe he used a different tuning alltogether. Tuning: (4th) D-String half tone down to C# Capo: 3 (all chords relative to capo 3) Chords used: e |-(0)--(0)----(0)-(0)--(0)-(0)--(0)-(0)--------------| B |--0----0------0---0----0---0----0---0---------------| G |--9----8------6---4----3---2----1---8-----------2---| C#|-(0)--(10)---(8)-(0)--(0)-(0)--(3)-(10)--8------3---| A |--11---9------7---6----4---4----2---9----9------3---| E |--9----7------5---4----2---2----0---8----8------2---| C#m7 B A G#m Gb F#m E Cm F#/C or F#m7

Or you make it a quiet acoustic version and keep picking. Instrumental Part: C#m7 B A B A G#m C#m7 B A B Verse 3 (Ich bin viel zu träge...) same as Verses 1&2 Chorus 2 same as Chorus 1 The picking pattern comes back for Verse number 4 (Jetzt steht meine Welt still?). Chorus 3: Same as the first two but let it fade out on a whole bar of A (instead of A B C#m7 A) at the end of it (Glaub?s mir das ist es nicht wert). Then you can change back to a mix of chords and strums again for the epic piano outro that I tried to get close to on the guitar. Sort out how you want to play it yourself, I added some melody/slides/chord variations to imitate the piano. Outro: Und wenn?s am schönsten ist und Du nichts mehr vergisst, dann mach die Augen auf? e |------(0)?"(0)?"(0)-----(0)-----(0)--------(0)-----(0)-(0)------------| B |-------0---0---0-------0-------0----------0-------0---0-------------| G |-------6---6---1-------8-------9----------6---6---1---8-------------| C#|-------0---8---3-3-5-7-10--8---0----------0-------3---10------------| A |-------7---7---2-------9---9---11---------7-------2---9-------------| E |-0-2-4-5---5---0-------7---8---9---0-2-4--5-------0---7-------------| A E B F#/C C#m7 A E B Repeat until fade out. The End! Kudos to Joris and his band for writing and arranging this wonderful piece of music.
