I'm pretty sure Eric is playing this with a nylon stringed guitar.
Accordingly, I had to use a steel stringed guitar to get close
(unless someone wants to buy me a nylon stringed guitar).

The following is only a segment of the song.

This song is laced with at least one layer (I assume way more than one)
of intricately weaved backing sounds which are not taken into account.

I doubt my tab is perfect, but it gets as close as I could get for this
absolutely fantastic song.

~ = vibrato (ie...shake that string)
/ = slide into the note or chord

[Singing starts with guitars swapped to electric for the remainder...]

Its so crazy livin' in this world
Seperatin' the stone and pearl
Like we do in the everyday
Some are changin' this ole way
To ride up on the thing you do
I just wanna run straight to you
Tell you what you finely [<--sounds like- but is--> finally] know
Theres a light that always shows
Your sweet eyes

Your sweet eyes

I can't turn back many more
Opportunity at my front door
Showin' me, I should get this way
You don't get asked every day
Change your mind and you change your plans
Then your heart starts to understand
What you got right next to you
Realize whats comin' through
Your sweet eyes
(Your sweet eyes)
Your sweet eyes

All I gotta do when I'm sad
I just think about the times we had
All my fears just drift into space
Theres nothin' can erase
Your sweet eyes

alright         oh yeah

Theres a star in the northern sky
Captivated me as I walked by
Showin' me what I can become
I leave behind what is lost or won
Somethin's different with me can't you see
Shooting stars will come out of me
As I think about the hope I feel
{I} Leave behind the world for somethin' real
Your sweet eyes
(Your sweet eyes)
Your sweet eyes
(Your sweet eyes)

Do do do    whoa yeah yeah
(Ooo      Your sweet eyes)

alright       hmmmm yeah
Your sweet eyes
(Oh hey)
Ooo
(Your sweet eyes)

In the time it takes to feel, life will be alright
(Your sweet eyes)
Ooo eh ooo right

[inaudible speech here - sounding like 'Chinese affair']
Ooo ah Ooo yeah
(Your sweet eyes)
Your sweet eyes
(Aw yeah yeah)
Ooo tell me

Yeah
