put your finger on the first frett of the B string, so use that to tune) Then tune the low E string to D.] Into: [x2] c|----------4E|------------|E|------------|--------0E|------------|---0--------

or in a dream lately waking up i’m not sure where i’ve been there was a table set for six and five were there i stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair and there was steam on the windows from the kitchen laughter like a language i once spoke with ease but i’m made mute by the virtue of decision i choose most of your life goes on without me D9 F6(9) Gsus oh the fear i’ve known C A7 that i might reap the praise of strangers D9 Gsus and end up on my own D9 F6(9) all i’ve sown was a song Gsus but maybe i was wrong i said to you the one gift which i’d adore unwrap a package of the next 10 years unfolding but you told me if i had my way i’d be bored right then i knew i loved you best born of your scolding when we last talked we were lying on our backs looking up at the sky through the ceiling i used to lie like that alone out on the driveway trying to read the greek upon the stars the alphabet of feeling oh i knew back then it was a calling that said if joy then pain the sound of the voice these years later is still the same Instrumental Solo: c|E|E|------------|E|------------|E|------------|-|E|------------|E|------------|-----

this paper and this pencil and i’m working through the grammar of my fears mercy what i won’t give to have the things that mean the most not to mean the things i miss unforgiving the choice still is the language or the kiss Chords Used: E|------------| D9: x00232 Gsus: 5x0030 F6(9): 3x0010 C: x32010 C#sus9: x02020 *Note* - p means pull off - h means hammer on - / means slide - the hammer on and pull off technique is kind of like rocking your finger back and forth. Just hammer on and pull off. (10p9h10p9)
