------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When You're Not Here - Lee Rocker & Big Blue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Dec. 12, 2008 Tabbed by: Kevin76 Email: apr25_1976@yahoo.com Info & Disclaimers: 1. I'm still learning (only been playing ~3 months), and there are parts that are still me so far, but I think the main riff is accurate (except it's missing a "turnaround" the last & first E) 2. I haven't found the lyrics online, and I haven't quite figured out the 3rd line of 2nd verse yet (uncertainty denoted by [square brackets]). 3. Play it slow, and play it loud! Don't just pluck the strings, PLUCK THE STRINGS! Tuning: Standard h hammer-on p pull-off b bend s stacato ("Es" above the lyrics = an open E (sixth) string, played stacato; "G-chord" should be self-explanetory) ***** Main riff: e|-----------------3b-----0s-----------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------2---h3p3-0--------| repeat 4 times for the intro D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| E|-----0s----3s------------------------------0-----| Verse 1: Es G-chord I could steal the flame, from a candlelight Es G-chord Stab a man in the back, while I look in his eyes Es G-chord Whisper the words, you like right in your ear Es But there's things I'll do, when you're not here Verse2: Es G-chord I will tell you I love you, until the end of time Es G-chord Take the money from your pocket, put it into mine E (022100@1) G-chord [We] can [trust], don't have any fear Es But there's things I'll do, when you're not here (a lot of E's and G's) So put your little hand in mine, Let's walk a while, I'll make you happy as a buzzing bee But when the lights go out, And you're not around, I'll do the things that you'll never see Verse 3: Es G-chord Some creatures walk, or fly above Es G-chord But like a snake in the grass, I'll sneak 'round real low Es G-chord You'll never need to shed a tear Es The nasty little things are done when you're not here ===============================================================================
