Ecstacy
Transcribed by John Argentiero (*)

The bulk of this song is done on 
piano, but I will provide chords 
that
sound decent on guitar.  The spacing
 of the chords may seem odd, but I
tried my best to match them up with 
the vocals.  The album is the best
reference for when to play what.

This is some tab for the intro, 
notes in brackets are supposed to be
 done
on piano.

(Just piano first time)

  Em                D/G        
I Love the time and in between,
Dsus2      Em
       The calm inside me

                   D/G         
in the space where I can

breathe.      I believe there is a

Em              D/G         
distance I have wandered to 
Dsus2             Em
touch up no the years of

Em          G         Dsus2
Reaching out,   and reaching in

Em      G      D      C
  Holding out,  Holding in.

  Em                D/G            
I know this love is passing time,  
D                      C
passing through like liquid

Em      G                     D/C
    I'm drunk in my desire

C     Em               G
But I love the way you smile at me,

Em      D/G         D           
Oh, the quiet child awaits the

day when she can break free

Em             G         
  the mold that clings like

desperation.

Em               G
Mother can't you see I've got to

I would like to linger here in 
    Am            D
silence if I choose to,

           Am       D
Would you understand it?


The song fades out repeating that 
last line.

Sometime around the last chorus, the
 guitar stops playing chords and
plays this:
e-----|-----|-------|---------|---
B-X-X-|-X-X-|-X-3-X-|-X-----X-|-X-
G-X-X-|-X-X-|-X---X-|-X-----X-|-X-
D-X-X-|-X-X-|-X---X-|-X-5h7-X-|-X-
A-----|-----|-------|---------|---
E-----|-----|-------|---------|---

e|-----|----------|--------|-2b1/2-
B|-----|-X------X-|----X-X-|-------
G|5--X-|-X------X-|----X-X-|-------
D|-----|-X--5h7-X-|--7-X-X-|-------
A|-----|----------|--------|-------
E|-----|----------|--------|-------

e|2--| 
B|---| 
G|---| 
D|---| 
A|---| 
E|---| 

This is played twice and then the 
guitar goes into the outro.  Listen 
to
the album closely for the timing of 
this part, its kinda buried in the
piano parts.
When playing this song alone on 
acoustic guitar, just ignore this 
part
and play the straight chords listed 
above.
Hope thiss is all you need to play 
this rather spiffy song.
Enjoy, and email me with amy
