Seeing Tab by Moby Grape

Seeing tab by Moby Grape

Guitar Tab

There are several versions of this song out there, mainly the 1968 original, from the
"WOW" sessions and then the 1969 version as released on "Moby Grape '69". This tab is
taken from the '69 album version.

If any of the licks sound wrong, let me know cagsic@yahoo.com
And you shuld be able to figure them out, because the song is in the key of C and most
of the lead playing is C pentatonic.

C        F              G              Am       G
If you'd seen the naked dream I had of you
C         F   G         Am         G
Would you care and come through?

G                    F
Take me far away, my wiles and mind
      C               G
Can't beat a dream of death today
G                        F         C
Hard to get by when what greets my eye
         G
Takes my breath away

C     F             G
In my dream you are around the stars
                         Am          G
I watched your walls all fall away
C        F                    G
You were bare of thoughts, we were to part
       Am                 G
And we stayed that way

G|----------------|This is played right before the chorus

E|----------------|

G
Some try to hide
F
Because they lied
     C
They were not true
    G
And they were afraid

G
They refuse to see
      F        C
Or be free, be one with me
G
And to gods, they prayed
        Em
Cryin', "Save me, save me"

Save me, save me, save me
          G    C   D F
I'll save you, can I spend you?

Back to intro riff:
C            F     G       Am         G
And now this naked dream I had of you
C        F  G          Am        G
Will you care and come through?

G                    F
Take me far away, my wiles and mind
      C               G
Can't beat a dream of death today
G                        F         C
Hard to get by when what greets my eye
         G
Takes my breath away
