The Verve

9 acessos

This song is a bass type of song (were the bass punches most
of the harmony) and guitar play mostly lead parts. So I have tabbed the bass
part. It has a rhythm guitar, but they don't pla thru the whole song, holding
most of the harmony on the bass, keyborad or ebow (wich is my case), so a
made a arrangement. I hope you all like this - it's my favorite Storm in
Heaven song.

The rhythm part of the verse, as well the intro, can be played on
A and G all the way thru, but i have included this fig. so it don't
sound so boring if you are playing without a bass player. Just play
it in some bars, alternating it with the A G pattern. Feel free to add
funky (a la James Brown) rhythm figs., and to deconstruct this patern.

After that theres a quiet part, Mc'Abe plays some single notes w/ a
lot of delay, and in the outro he plays something high, but too
much blured for me to tab - just play some improvisation over the intro
theme. In the chorus just play the riff 1.

Lyrics:

(riff 1)

Verse 1:
G A
So take your time
G (riff 2) A
I wonder if you're here just one way to use my mind
G
Don't take it slow
(riff 2) A
You know I've got a place to go

You always do that
G
Something I'm not sure of
A
But just for today
G
Let go and slide away

Chorus:
A G
I was thinking maybe we could go outside
D
Let the night sky cool you foolish pride
G A
Don't you feel alive these are you times and our highs
(riff 1)

Verse 2:
So take your time
I wonder which cup you drink from I hope it's mine
(riff 3)
Because you always do that something
Sonething I'm not sure of but just for today
Let go and burn away (riff 4)
Cause I read you mind
I need it because it takes me where I can't find
Because you always do that something
Something I'm not quite sure of
but just for today
Let go and burn away

Chorus:
A G
I was thinking maybe we could go outside
D
Let the night sky cool you foolish pride
G A
Don't you feel alive these are you times and our highs

Outro:
Slide Away burn away
Slide Away burn away
I read you mind

Chorus
