COMMENT:------------------------------------ This song is what brought me to this fantastic site! I had been searching for weeks for a tab on this song, and finally one of my searches led me here, and I found the version posted here by Raymond Graham. I grabbed my guitar, and sat down in front of my cd player, and tried to play along - but it just did not sound quite right in a lot of Raymond's transcription. So, this gave me the push I needed to get off my lazy butt, and do a little figgerin' out myself. So- - - This is a revision to the file posted by Raymond Graham - Raymond did all the hard work, typing this all out in the first place - I just changed his chords to my version. This is my first attempt at posting a song, so bear with me! --------------------------------------------- It opens with a slow strum down the Em chord - omitting the high E string Please note: Occasionally, the high G note [3rd fret, first string] is added to the Am chords as they pick around the chords - you can hear them clearly if you listen close. I didn't include any fingerpicking tablature, I think it's better, anyway, rather than to play a certain ''set'' way, to just pick out notes around the chords according to how you feel the song! [Verse 1]
Em                             Am

   Who am I to tell you why?

              C                 
But I'm just curious, were you furious

D-Em                                      Am
    Brother I've been right where you are now

        C
And my heart was broke, cause I never spoke

      C       C/B   Am7   G
Those healing words out loud.

Em                         Am
  But I learned my lesson well,

      C
Now every night, before I close my eyes

I look at my woman and I ask myself, did you

Altho its a lot of moving on the neck, I prefer playing it all on the B string- I just like the sound better that way. Since I am not familiar with proper tablature notation, let me explain what I mean: \= slide down /= slide up Of course, since these notes aren't played on the guitar at all, you just play them how you feel 'em! Illustrated above is how I "feel" 'Em.
