If you haven't already bought _Splendor Solis_ then buy it! Wow, what a CD. "Save Me" by The Tea Party (most of the guitar is played with a bow - cool eh?) Key: Emin Time sig: fast 4/4 You can play this song in standard tuning, but I think it is played in open D (low to high: DADF#AD) on the CD - I'll tab both ways as much as I can. It sounds nicer in open D (especially on the bridge part) 'cause you get the open strings adding harmonics. | Intro (standard tuning) |=================|=================|

await me I will go so far away I will always love you, but you knew (yeah) (Bridge) (Verse) I regret to tell you Your man has died tonight He was a brave man He fought a brave fight He was killed by the other side He was killed by the other man's knives (Chorus) She said save me Save me (Verse) Why must you love this man He is your brother This is easy to understand My son, there is no other I cannot pretend To love this man like my father I can not pretend Mother there is no other (Chorus) She said "Save me" Save me (Bridge twice) (Bridge is slightly different last time) (Solo) (Guitar is same pitch as vocals) Save me Save me (Bridge 2) (don't look for it, I haven't tabbed it :) When there is no truth Let's end this lie tonight This is easy to understand Without your best fight But I see a new sun Rising in the east But I see a new sun Rising in the east (Chorus) She said "Save me" Save me Save me Save YOU
