Tune up half-a-half-step to play with the CD. (I'm told that its quite common studio practice just to 'speed up' the final mix of a track either to balance out the length of each side of an album or to brighten the track up a bit. Doesn't stop it being a pain in the machine heads tho'). A D (e) A (c#) Don't be afraid close your eyes (b) D A lay it all down don't you cry A - guitar D (c#) D -keyboard can't you see I-I'm going where I can see the sun rise -$ (d) (b) D slide E I've been talking to my angels and they say that it's..

This arrangement doesn't translate very well onto guitar. Suggest improvising around this basic pattern for verses 1/3 :

    //   D(sus9)                   A                         \\

EADGBe xx0232 - D x02220 - A 355433 - G 022100 - E 022000 - Em 244222 - F#m x46654 - C#m This song's quite tricky to play/sing- there are two key changes in the bridge * (from A to E) and %(E back down to A). I keep having trouble with the end of the third line in the verse ($). I think on keyboard its " c# D ", but on guitar, " A " sounds better, though every so often it sounds like a Bm. Whaddayathink? I think there's still plenty of room for improvement here, so feel free :>) Nic [email protected]
