Tom: A5


Verse One
A5 C5   D5          A5       G5        D5
All alone staring on watching her life go by
        A5         C5           D5               A5       G5         D5
When her days are grey and her nights are black , Different shades of mundane 
      A5              C5           D5               A5     G5       D5
And the one eyed furry toy that lies upon the bed Has often heard her cry 
               A5           C5             D5              A5    G5 D5
And heard her whisper out a name long forgiven but not forgotten 

Chorus
           A5  C5        D5            A5   G5        D5
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're forgiven not forgotten
           A5  C5        D5                 A5    G5       D5
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're not forgotten 

Verse Two
A5        C5    D5           A5         G5    D5
Bleeding heart torn apart , And left on an icey grave 
    A5              C5         D5           A5         G5         D5
In a room where they once lay face to face, Nothing could get in the way 
          A5           C5         D5                       A5    G5       D5
But no the memories of a man are haunting her days, And the craving never fades 
            A5           C5           D5              A5 G5 D5
She's still dreaming of a man long forgiven but not forgotten 
The lick at the end of the verse is played like this:
E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G--7>9>7-5-7-5---5----------------
D--7>9>7-------7----7-5-----------
A------------------------7--------
E---------------------------8--5--
Chorus
         A5  C5        D5              A5   G5        D5
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're forgiven not forgotten
          A5  C5        D5                A5    G5       D5
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're not forgotten 

Verse Three
A5    C5 D5            A5        G5        D5
Still alone. Staring on wishing her life goodbye 
           A5               C5             D5
As she goes searching for the man long forgiven 
           A5  G5 D5
But not forgotten 
 
The build-up towards the end of the verse is just a steadily-increasing-in-volume

 series of notes played on the fifth fret of the top E and B strings, finishing

 with a quick slide up to and back from the 10th fret.

Chorus
           A5  C5        D5            A5   G5        D5
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're forgiven not forgotten
          A5  C5        D5                A5    G5       D5
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're not forgotten
