                        **************

By Keziah Jones
Written by Paul Orsoni (orsoni@gwsmtp.hec.fr)

Normal Tunning (EADGBE)

chords :
------

Em      : 022000
EmVII   : 779987
Am      : 002210
AmV     : 577555
BmVII   : 799777
Bm7VII  : 779777

To play this song like the master, play Em with your third and fourth finger
on the 4th and 5th string, then slide while continuing to play the first three 
strings G, B, E, up to the 14th fret. Then play only the three first strings 
with your 1st finger crossing them at the 12th fret. Come back to Am and then
go to BmVII with your fingers sliding in the Am position... !
It's too complicated to explain in a text. Just hear the song and try it !

It should look like :

E|--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-12-12-0-0-0-7-7--5-5--0
B|--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-12-12-1/////7-7--5-5--0
G|--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-12-12-2/////7-7--5-5--0   and do it again...
D|--2/////////14-----------2/////9-9--7-7--2
A|--2/////////14-----------0-----9-9--7-7--2
E|--0--0-0-0-0-0-----------0-----7-7--5-5--0

//// : means slow and regular slide

Once you've got it, you simply play it again and again and start singing :

Part 1
------
Em (slide etc.)        Am BVII AmV  Em (slide etc.)...
 Please ..

Em (slide etc.)        Am BVII AmV  Em (slide etc.)...
 I'm ..

Em (slide etc.)        Am BVII AmV  Em (slide etc.)...
 Why ..

Em (slide etc.)        Am BVII AmV  Em (slide etc.)...
 Why ..

Part 2 :
------
EmVII  AmV              Bm7VII       EmVII and do it again
           Talking ..
           Looking ..
           looking ..

AmVII  AmV (let ring)   
           You ..


And then on again with the sliding stuff (part 1's rythm):

I'd like ..
When ..?
Why ..
Why do ..


With part 2's rythm :

You're ..
You're ..
You're ...
You're ..
Moments, ..
Moments + ..
Come ..
Yeah ..

With part 1's rythm :

Where ..
These ..
Wipe ..
Don't ..
I'll ..
For you

With part 2's rythm :

You're ..
You're ....
You're ..'
You're ..
Look at ..!
You're ..
(You're ..)
You're ..
(Look ..)
You're ..
You .....


Note :
----
For part 2's rythm, on a 4/4 measure, you play :
EmVII : 4 times
AmV   : 3 times
Bm7VII: 1 time
And on again !

In fact this song is a dialog between "Chance" and "Destiny". Hear the song,
you'll recognize who tells what...
This file is of course an approximation, from what I hear.
