Hello, this is my first submission online ever. (Tabbed a great many songs
previously but never submitted before. Questions, concerns and suggestion
would be greatly appreciated.)

INTRO:
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
-0-  Song is in Em. Introduction establishes this with this rhythm
-0-  (R: Root, d: down strum, u: up strum, q: quarter note, e: eighth note)
-0-
-2-  R  d  d u R d | R d u   R d R d |
-2-  |  |  | | | | | | | |   | | | | | X 2
-0-  q  q  e e e e | e e q   e e e e |

I hope that wasn't *too* confusing. I don't know how else to write quarter
notes and eighth notes, and besides this is only for the most anal of
guitarists. I'll let you figure out the rhythm for the rest of the song on
your own. (Singing along is the quickest way.)

Yeah an' whether or not you want them to   It's a

(Note: the Am, G, B/F# pattern repeats three times the second time around
per verse.)

CHORUS:
(uses good ole reliable basic chords)

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
G       F   C   Em               (x2)


G                          F              C         Em
So here I lay dreaming and looking at the brilliant sun (second vocal track
echos "sun")

G                     F          C    Em
Bringing it's guiding light upon everyone (second vocal track echos "one")

(Remember to add emphasis when you play the two Cs in sync with the toms)

BRIDGE:
(again, basic chords, muted however but with the occasional ringing flair)

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
C               G

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
C               D

And that's it! Again, suggestions and questions would be greatly
appreciated.
