Transcribed by Kurt Pankau
 
This transcription is completely my own work and does in no part take
from any other source: copyrighted or otherwise.
 
Notes:
 
Again, this is the acoustic version of the song and, while every bit as
beautiful as the album recording, it sounds very different.  This is how
the song was written and you can play it along with the album this way
but it lacks many of the distinctive qualities of the song, such as the
fading-in string hook.  Without the frills, this version of the song is
also noticably shorter.
 
The second part of this song is a violin part, which could theoretically
be transcribed to guitar, but I'm not going to do it, so don't bother to
ask.  I'm assuming that whomever seeks to learn this song is doing it
from
a one-(wo)man-show perspective.  In fact, the only reason I bothered to
submit this much was because it's really easy and it wasn't in the
archive
yet.
 
Main riff:
 
This is 90% of the song.
 
   In my dreams I'm dying all...

B----------0^2-----------3^0-------|

This is approximate, so feel free to vary it in whatever ways make it
easier (possible) for you to play.  The chords are A augmentedA and Em7.
 
Bridge:
 
After "Tell me"
 
I'm not going to tab this out, because I couldn't see his fingers and
it's not all that important to me for such a short section of the song.
The timing for the chord changes doubles, meaning that where a chord
would
last one measure during the verse/chorus, during the bridge it lasts two.
 
The chord progression (played once):
 
G6/B, Bb, G, F#F#
