Love You 'Til the Day I Die
(N. Finn)

NOTES:

-- Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex.  I
was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed
on two chords.  However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks
and "side chords" in between to make things interesting.  (for exam-
ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this:  X7978[10].)  I would
suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.

-- The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky
in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti-
fully.


INTRO:   B7*  Em*  B7 (x21202@1)Em (022000@1)B7 (x21202@1)Em (022000@1)B7There's (x21202@1)closets in my head where dirty things are kept
     EmThat (022000@1)never see the light of day
B7I (x21202@1)want to drag them out, go for a walk
        EmJust (022000@1)to see the look that's on your face
B7Sometimes (x21202@1)I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
      EmSo (022000@1)forgive me if I tell a lie
B7Sometimes (x21202@1)I come on cold but don't believe it
       EmI (022000@1)will love you till the day I die

[*** NOTE:  See below for guitar tab for this chorus]
Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)      F#m (244222@1)         A (x02220@1)      Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)F#m (244222@1)AI (x02220@1)believe in doing things backwards

Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax
I'm talking to myself you're coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you till the day I die

I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
