The Tea Party - Heaven Coming Down 

tabbed by Chris Marks 
vvhat_is@hotmail.com 

Not one to pretend to be perfect, I will plainly admit that my previous tabbing of 
this song was NOT how The Tea Party play it, since it was in an entirely different 
tuning.  Here is the song in the proper tuning of F# B D F# B D, and I THINK this 
is how they play it judging on where his hand is at certain points in the song.

(no guitar for verse 1) 

With nothing to lose 
you'd waste away, 
obscured in exile. 
They've witnessed the times 
you've gone astray, 
whose fault?  Now you're thinking... 
There's nothing to prove... 
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

                And it feels now, just like heaven's coming down 

(no guitar for verse 2) 

So strange are the ways 
they all have changed, 
still life it stays the same. 
A break from the past 
could make it last, oh, 
maybe just a little longer. 
There's nothing to prove... 
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

Full lyrics (what's in the song, not what's at the www.teaparty.com website) 

Verse 1: 
With nothing to lose 
you'd waste away, 
obscured in exile. 
They've witnessed the times 
you've gone astray, 
whose fault?  Now you're thinking... 
There's nothing to prove 
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby... 

Chorus 1: 
And it feels now, 
just like heaven's coming down 

Verse 2: 
So strange are the ways 
they all have changed, 
still life it stays the same. 
A break from the past 
could make it last, oh, 
maybe just a little longer. 
There's nothing to prove... 
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby... 

Chorus 2: 
And it feels now, 
just like heaven's coming down 
Your soul shakes free 
as its conscience hits the ground 

Bridge: 
You surrender 
Love under will 
Rest assured baby, 
You're adored 

Chorus 3: 
And it feels now, 
just like heaven's coming down. 
Your soul shakes free, 
as its conscience hits the ground. 
these signs, this fate, 
takes the path you didn't choose. 
Stay strong, keep faith, 
there's a change that's coming through. 

Outro: 
hold on my love 
hold on...
