Chords

This tab is for the (mostly) acoustic live version on '98 Live: Meltdown'. This version differs in mood and some lyrics from the electric version. The intro and guitar solo are the same. Basically you mostly just make the shapes for Em, C, and Am, letting go of certain strings accordingly. Many thanks to ju.da.sguitar, who did the original tab for the electric version from which this tab was built.

[Verse 1]
Em                              C
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again

               G
But that's not unusual

                   D
It's just that the moon is full

                   Em
And you decided to call
[Verse 2]
Em                          C
And here I sit, hand on the telephone

            G
Hearing the voice I'd known

            D
A couple of light years ago

                      Em
Headed straight for a fall
[Chorus]
         C                        D
Well, we both know what memories can bring

                        Em
They bring diamonds and rust

        C                         D
Yes, we both know what memories can bring

           D            Em
They bring diamonds and rust
[Refrain]
Bm                                          Am
I see you standing all around, snow in your hair

       Bm                                                Am
You're smiling out the window of a hotel over washington square

C                                                      G
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air

         Fmaj7                                          Bm     C  D  Em
Speaking strictly for me we both could've died then and there
