I've worked out a way of playing this on guitar using an alternative tuning, and I've also written out chord shapes which work well for standard tuning. (All chord shapes given at the end). Please note - I've written the chord names for normal tuning above the TAB for alternative-tuning. The chord names do not neccessarily correspond to what the TAB plays. Words are written under the corresponding TAB - I've tried to put the chord changes in the right place with respect to the words, but it might not be 100% accurate. The dulcimer part using alternative tuning is basically the same for each verse - but I only tabbed it once for the first verse. For the dobro/dulcimer part use EADAAD tuning, i.e tune B down to A and G up to A. \ - slide h - hammer on p - pull off Intro: ------- E---2----7----10----9--10---7-7---7-7---5\3\5---5--5----3-3---2-2----| A---0----0----0-----0--0----0-0---0-0---0-------0--0----0-0---0-0----| A---0----0----0-----0--0----0-0---0-0---0-------0--0----0-0---0-0----| D---0----5----9-----7--9----5-5---5-5---4\2\4---4--4----2-2---0-0----| A--------------------------------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------------------------| E--0-0----2-------------------0-0------0-0---------| A--0-0----0--5--5--5p4--4--5--0-0------0-0---------| A--0-0----0--0-----0----0--0--0-0------0-0---------| D---------0--7-------------------------------------| A--4-4-------------0----0--0--0-0----0-------------| E------------7-------------------------------------| Verse 1: -------- D (xx0232@1) A/C# (042220@1) Bm7 (x20202@1)E--2---2-2---------------0----0--0--------------------------| A--0---0-0---------------0----0--0--------------5-----------| A--0---0-0---------------0----0--0--------------0-----------| D--0---0-0--------------------------------------7-----------| A------------------------4----4--4--------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------7-----------| Just before our love got lost you said Bm7 (x20202@1)E--------------------------------------------------------------| A--5-5----------5----------5-----------------------------------| A--0-0----------0----------0-----------------------------------| D--7-7----------7----------7-----------------------------------| A--------------------------------------------------------------| E--7-7----------7----------7-----------------------------------| I am as constant as a northern star and I said Em7 D (xx0232@1)E--3--3-3------------------2------2--2--------------------------| A--0--0-0------------------0------0--0--------------------------| A--0--0-0------------------0------0--0--------------------------| D--2--2-2------------------0------0--0--------------------------| A---------------------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------------------| Constantly in the darkness, where's that at ?
