Capo 1st Fret / Key of "D#" 
 
Intro:  D5 (let ring) G5 (let ring) 
 
          D5 
Well, it feels like slow-motion 
   G5 
I hear the gun explodin' 
           D5                       G5    A5 
I see the flash, it brings me to my knees 
       G5               D5             G5 
And I feel the warmth flowin' out of me 
 
-CHORUS 
 

           A5                          G5 
But in my mind, I'm climbin' up the stairs 
                      A5 
And walkin' down the hall 
                         G5 
And Heather's standin' there 
                A5 
October ninety-nine 
                 D5              G5   G5  G5 
I see us in New England in the fall 
                      B5             A5      A5  A5 
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10 
            D5            G5    A5  A5  A5 
Hangin' on Heather's wall 
            D5            G5    A5  A5  A5  G5 
Hangin' on Heather's wall 
 
 
           D5 
I see the money on the floor 
         G5 
And his gun there by the door 
        D5                                 G5   A5 
He was tryin' to rob the bank when I walked in 
          G5              D5                    G5 
Oh, but this is not the way it's supposed to end 
 
-Repeat Chorus 
 
-Solo->

-Bridge 
 

     B5                           A5 
Oh, somewhere someone says we've lost him now 
    B5                   A5              n c  
But I look up and I see Heather's smile 
 
-CHORUS #2 
 

                 A5                                G5 
So how can I be dyin', when I'm climbin' up the stairs 
                      A5 
And walkin' down the hall 
                          G5 
And I see a bright light there 
                A5 
October ninety-nine 
                         D5              G5  G5 G5 
And that picture of New England in the fall 
                      B5             A5     A5 A5 
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10 
            D5                   G5                 A5  A5 A5 
Hangin' on Heather's wall (our love will last forever) 
            D5                   G5                 A5  A5 A5 
Hangin' on Heather's wall (our love will last forever)
