Even though the song actually uses keyboards, but, hey, why not make it for such a beautiful instrument. |--0------------------------------------------- |--0------------------------------------------- |--1------------------------------------------- |--2------------------------------------------- |--2------------------------------------------- |--0------------------------------------------- |1A - Guitar 1 | |-------------12------------------------------- |----12h13-15----12-------------12------------- |-------------------14-12-14-12----12-14p12---- |---------------------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------- 1B - Guitar 2 |--0----------------------------------- |--3----------------------------------- |--0----------------------------------- |--2----------------------------------- |--2----------------------------------- |--0----------------------------------- |1A - Guitar 1 (continued) (check this chord) | |-------------12-14-15-17-15-17p15-19-- |----12-13-15-------------------------- |-------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------- 1B - Guitar 2 (continued) -----------12------------12------------12------------------------------------- --------12----12------12----12------12----12--------12-10-8------------------- ----9------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------12------------11-------------10----------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2- Guitar 2 (twice) There's a break here for the guitar. Pretty much just drums, bass and vocals. Although I think there is something else but I can't figure out how to emulate it on guitar. --x-x-x-x--- --x-x-x-x--- --x-x-x-x--- --x-x-x-x--- --x-x-x-x--- --x-x-x-x--- 4 - Guitar 1 (repeat as long as necessary) --------------------------------------- --3h5------3h5-----3h5------3h5-------- --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- 5 - Guitar 2 (joins in with 4, a bit later on) The break for the guitar happens once again. Then part 4 and 5 go again. 5 entering a bit after 4. ---------------- --3h5-b5-b5-b5-- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- 6 - Guitar 2 (10 times I think, with minor variations later on) Play 2 twice. Play the 4 and 5 combo. Guitar 2 moves onto 6. There is another part but it's on keyboard (like the intro), and I'm having real troubles tabbing it. If I get it some other time I'll post it then. It would be third guitar, or guitar 1 would cut out of part 4 and move onto it. Here's the song summary in parts: Guitar 1| 1a break break 4 break 4 Guitar 2| 1b 2 2 break 5 break 5 6 ======================================== And for those that want it, the lyrics and where the guitar parts fit in: [guitar parts 1a-b and 2 are played] [guitars take a break, leave it to the drums and bass guys] What if I were you and you were me Still can't see the forest fire beyond the trees now i'm standing in a field of green the colors burning far as i can see what do you see on my tongue the galaxies so small here i'll drink it down and watch the world dissolve now i'm pouring through the universe and slipping through the endless stream of time what would you find [guitar 1 plays part 4] and i'm flying floating on the wind again hoping it will drag me in can't you see i'm laughing [guitar 2 enters in with part 5] laughing at the consequence laughing at this circumstance don't you know by now [break time again, leave it to drums and bass] stare at all the faces they go by faster that we live the more we die now im crashing through the open door and smiling in a most peculiar way what would you say [guitar 1 plays part 4] and i'm falling faster than a waterfall opened up and after all can't you see im drowning right [guitar 2 enters in with part 5] here in the open air wishing i could still go clear [guitar 2 switches to part 6] don't you know by now don't you know by now this is what we are this is what we are don't you know by now don't you know by now this is what we are this is what we are [guitar 2 plays part 2] [guitar 2 finishes] [guitar 1 plays part 4] and i'm flying floating on the wind again hoping it will drag me in cant' you see i'm hoping [guitar 2 plays part 5] wishing i could see myself wishing i was someone else but don't you know by now [guitar 2 plays part 6] don't you know by now this is what we are ... repeats into fading with another part thrown in but I'm having troubles tabbing it. See if you can.
