Capo on 2nd fret.
Drop D tuning (DADGBE)
Tune is picked, not strummed (x = don't play)
During intro, F#m-C#m-B progression has hammer ons and offs. I'm no expert at tab but
here's an approximation of what's being played (capo-less tuning shown):
E | ---------------------------------------------- |
B | ------0--------------------------------------- |
G | -----0---------------------------------------- |
D | ----2-----2-4--4-2-0-4-2--2------------------- |
A | ---------------------0------------------------ |
D | --2------0----0------------------------------- |
It's my first attempt, I hope you like it!
C#5 B' B'' A5
I've put it all behind me, nothing left to do or doubt
F#5 C#5 B''
Some may say
C#5 B' B'' A5
But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud
F#5 C#5 B''
That comes my way
C#5 B' B'' A5
Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain
F#5 C#5 B''
No choice I feel
C#5 B' B'' A5
Love is hard to measure, hidden in the rain
F#5 C#5 B'
That's why you'll find me
E5 C#5 F#5
Here all alone and still wondering why
A5 B'
Waitin inside for the cold to get colder
E5 C#5 F#5
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time
A' B''' Ab5 C#5
Hopin to fly cause it's almost over now
* mandolin solo *
* guitar solo *
[chord sequence as per verse (twice through) except resolves to E at end before going
back to the first C#m of next verse]
C#5 B' B'' A5
People come together, people go their own way
F#5 C#5 B'
Love conquers few
C#5 B' B'' A5
And I'll do whatever I'll say what I need to say
F#5 C#5 B'
Just not for you
E5 C#5 F#5
How many days should I smile with a frown?
A5 B'
'Cos you're not around with the sun on your shoulders
E5 C#5 F#5
And how many nights must I wake up alone
A5 B''' Ab5 C#5
And know in my soul that it's almost over now?
*slide guitar solo*
[chord sequence as per verse (once through) except resolves to E at end before going
back to the first C#m of next verse]
[more gentle, preparing for pause on second line]
C#5 B'
Love is like a paper airplane
B'' A5
Flyin in the folded dent [pause]
F#5 C#5 B''
Ridin high dippin low
C#5 B'
But innocence is fair game
B'' Ab5 C#5
I'm hopin I can hold it in
F#5 C#5 B5 ...E...
Our love will die I know
