[Kyle]

F –C-F-C-F-C-G


F      C                  F      C

F      C                   G           C
I wont ask you where you been.
F                  C            F            C
I know after a million times you get sick of all my lines,
F         C            G
but I just wanna see you safe again.
 
F              C                 F            C
I know that just now I aint been showin,
F                C                 G      C

F                 C                           F                 C
So gimmie a little time and you'll be knowin'
F                 C          G      (stay on G)       C
your good lovin' baby is back...         on top again.

F               Em                  F     G                C
Hopefully it occurs to me that there's one thing I cant stand.
F                  Em              F                  G            C
That's the thought of a single day, without your head in my hand.

I always hoped you'd be showin,
and now you've shown as much as you can.
But after each time im still glowin
with a good lovin smile that's yours until the end.

Hopefully it occurs to me that there's one thing I cant stand.
That's the thought of a single day, without your head in my hand.

[rmwehner]

That (F  C) sounds good if you do it as a hammer on. You want to end up like an F/C. like so F>F/C>F, F>F/C>F, etc. great song though

[TomBarton]

i'll get the acoustic-citsuoca -esque tabbed up soon. rmwehner is right - the hammer on/off is essential to this one working.

[TomBarton]

okay - so 5 months is soon on a geological scale - so HA! anyways - here's my attempt to show the patterns. instructions included, batteries are not

Tabbed by: tombarton@gmail.com


okay - i tried my best here to show the strumming/fingering
pattern for that little riff that makes up the verse as well
as what happens before/in the chorus. this song has been tabbed
correctly before, but this is an attempt to show the patterns
if this too convoluted, i apologize and am open to different ways
of demonstrating what's going on in this tune.

godspeed my vikings!



standard w/ capo at 2




Intro: optional, but it's close to how i hear the intro
to the studio recording, not played live.

|--------7--------------------------------------------|
|------5---5-----6------6-5---------------------------|
|----5-------5----------------------------------------|
|--5-----------5------5-------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------|




for the record, this will be called fill 1: it is the
majority of the verse, and appears in part during the chorus



Fill 1
                        Then
|-0-0---0-0--0-0-0--------0-0----0-0-0-0--------------|
|-1-1---1-1--1-1-1--------1-1----1-1-1-1--------------|
|-0-0h2-2-2--0-0-0--3x----0-0---(0)0-0-0--------------|
|-0-0h3-3-3--2-2-2--------2-2p0-(0)0-0-2--------------|
|(0)---------3-3-3--------3-3p0--2-2-2-3--------------|
|--------------------------------3-3-3----------------|


play fill 1 till your heart's content, and end the last
time on a G (320033), then start again for the verse.



FIll 1
I wont ask you where you're goin.
I wont ask you where you been.

fIll 1
I know after a million times you get sick of all my lines,
but I just wanna see you safe again.
                                                                                                                                                                    ^
(here - just come down to a G from fill 1, and strum)

Fill 1
I know that just now I aint been showin,
the kind of love you know that I can.
Fill 1
So gimmie a little time and you'll be knowin your good lovin
baby is back on top again.




Then
Fill 2 (lead to chorus)


|--0-0-0---0-0---0------------------------------------|
|--1-1-1---1-1---1------------------------------------|
|--0-0-0---0-0---0---0---0---0------------------------|
|--2-2-0h2-2-0h2-2---0h2-0h2-0h2----------------------|
|--3-3-3---3-3---3---3--------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------|


Chorus

F                                                                  Em                                                                                                                                         F                                          G                                             (fill 1*)
Hopefully it occurs to me that there's one thing I cant stand.
F                                                                                                                             Em                                            F                                                   G                                                            (fill 1*)
That's the thought of a single day, without your head in my hand.
 
For fill 1* just play the first part of it 2x, instead of 3, and omit
everything after - then return to an F to repeat




Fill 1
I always hoped you'd be showin,
and now you've shown as much as you can.
Fill 1
But after each time im still glowin
with a good lovin smile that's yours until the end.

(just switch between C and F for the high "aahhhhh" parts)

then repeat chorus as shown


whew!

if i messed up anything remedial, please let me know
