Key:
Tabbed by Dabarro (*) Well, okay, since there isn't a decent tab/chords transcription of this song I decided to do this one. It is strongly based on the guitar pro file from the site, but this one is in standard tunning. There are a few bizarre chords in this tab, partly because Elliott played this with his guitar tuned one step down (keep in mind that I transpose everything so you can play along the record without detunning). Most of the strange chords are normal chords with a bass note below. The solo is pretty simple, great for slide beginners. Have fun playing this, i certainly do. STANDARD TUNNING
Bb Bb/A Here's the silhouette
Gm Bb Bb/A the face always turned away Gm Gm/E Gm/Eb (This part can be tricky, check the end for advice) the bleeding color gone to black
Bb Bb/A dying like a day
G Cm Cm/Bb Ab couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy
Eb Db Cm shook your head to say no no no

Bb Bb/A Gm Bb Bb/A i got pictures, i just don't see it anymore
Gm Gm/E Gm/Eb Bb Bb/A climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
G Cm Cm/Bb Ab with the one i keep where it never fades
Eb Db Cm in the safety of a pitch black mind
Cm/Bb Ab Cm F an airless cell that blocks the day
G Fm oh well, okay SOLO (with slide, chords above tab) NOTE: The last Fm over 'okay' is the first chord in solo.
