Come Down by Toad the Wet Sprocket
off the album Coil
Transcription by Scott Josselyn (SBJosselyn@aol.com)

*Capo 1st Fret*
*All chords are relative to capo but all tab is relative
 to nut (i.e. a "1" in tab is an "open" string)

Chords: G=320033  D/F#=200232  Em=0220(3)0  Cadd9=x32033
	G/B=x20033  A7sus4=x02233 or 540055
	A#6=650066 or x03366*
        Cadd9(use this type to follow A#6)=870088 or xx5588*
        *Guitar 2(Todd) plays arpeggios of these chords while Glenn
          strums the rhythm with the first type

Todd's Riffs:

Riff 1  (intro and over 3rd chorus?)

Verse:

G           A7sus4
open up and let me in
G                    A7sus4
i was lucky to live, dont need to win
G                    A7sus4
forgave myself and if that's a sin
      A#6             Cadd9
it's not enough you'd even know it
 G            A7sus4
you did right to call my bluff
   G	      A7sus4
'cause i wont say when i've had enough
 G		A7sus4
and i worked so hard to need this stuff
 A#6                  Cadd9
and you tried so long to just ignore it


Chorus:

G D/F# Em           Cadd9  G/B  A7sus4
           wont you come   down        where i am

G A7sus4 G A7sus4

Verse:
     G          A7sus4
i wont repeat myself again
     G            A7sus4
i will not repeat myself again
      G       A7sus4
it's another promise d.o.a.
      A#6            Cadd9
and despite my every hope
             A#            Cadd9
there is no truth behind my best intentioned oath


Chorus:

G D/F# Em            Cadd9 G/B  A7sus4
           won't you come       down where i am
G D/F# Em            Cadd9 G/B A7sus4
	   words are hidden,    understand
G D/F# Em            Cadd9 G/B A7sus4 (hold........)
