------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Me Away - Dan Murphy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a "Misc Your Song". It's a song I wrote, thanks. Tabbed by: Dan Murphy Email: levibowling@earthlink.net *Note: Original Song -- Pretty simple song to play. I like to play it on my acoustic. I use a capo on the Second Fret, but it is not needed. Also, this is my first attempt at tabbing anything. If I get positive feedback, I'll tab some of my other songs. Emails are welcome. Comments, Questions, Compliments and Constructive Critisim are all welcome. Tuning: Half Step Down Verse: Obviously the D and U's are Down/Up's. For the two group of 0's play them down/up without hesitation. The others have a half a second pause. Repeat Verse 8 times. The whole sequence serves one line of the song. eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|--2-2-00-----0-0-00--0-0-0-0-0---------------------------------------------| Ab|--3-3-00-----0-0-00--2-2-2-0-2---------------------------------------------| Eb|--3-3-00-----1-1-00--3-3-3-0-2---------------------------------------------| DD DU DD DU DD DU (xx0232@1)D (xx0232@1) I sit all alone in my room Chorus: Basic strum pattern here. The E in the beginning is just two down then the C strums for a bit until the next away. Then the same from the G to the D. On the second part "I don't want to be here anymore" The last chord is the only thing that changes. From a D to an A. eb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|----------5----------------------------7-----------------------------------| Db|--2----2--5-------------5--------------7-----------------------------------| Ab|--2----2--3-------------5--------------5-----------------------------------| Eb|--0----0----------------3--------------------------------------------------| Take me away, Take me away from this place E (022100@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) I don't want to be here any-more Outro: Same as verse, but different lyrics.
