I Needed It Most

[TomBarton]

i think this is right - sounds right playing along with the recording but kinda empty on it's own. you really need some atmospheric backing or 2 tons of reverb to nail the sound - but im pretty sure the chords are right - as always  - suggestions welcomed

I Needed It Most
tabbed by Tombarton@gmail.com

Capo 5


Intro:

G D Em D (2x)


 .........    C    ...........    Em
I needed it most, when I was eighteen.
   ..........       Am     ...............                          D
But now that im older, I don't need many things.
  ..........    C    ................    Em
Just someone to hold, that's what you give me.
             ...............          Am
When dark touches your skull baby,
               ...........D .........            G
Aw babe you can drop that on me.
   .......       G       ................                     Am
So I say lord, all the heavens you've made,
  ............                 C   ........                 D      ....   G
Cant hold back the ghosts that haunt my baby and me.
  ...........                 G    ...........            Am
 Oh cant ye hold em back, form comin on in,
 .......               C   ........    ...          D      ....   G
To a lovely woman, that jus wans her mind back again.


interlude:
Em Dm C (4 or 5x)

for the Dm, i reccomend using the barre (x57765), relative to capo



(downstrokes on C)
V V    V   V      ......................                       G
I WILL NOT CRUMBLE! what you want this to be.
      ...............            C         ..............                       Em
Or bring peace of mind, if it aint there to see.
     ..........                Am     ...........                D .....   G
Aw if you don't know yourself, how could you ever know me.
    ..........                Am     ...........                D ....................   G
But to have and to hold, yeah that's the way it's gotta be.
the last G is optional, or at least exceptionally quiet

That Em sounds like an E to me.
