E|-------2--0------| 
B|-----3------3----| 
G|-2h4----------2--| 
D|-----------------| 
A|-----------------| 
E|-----------------| 

NOTE: In at least one version, the 
guitarist only plays this once. I 
think it sounds good at the end of 
any
of the verses.

Main riff (played with a slide):
E|--------10/5----------------| 
B|-----7--------7~~--7/10--10-| 
G|-4/7------------------------| 
D|----------------------------| 
A|----------------------------| 
E|----------------------------| 

Play the above riff several times, 
then end on this:
E|--------10/5------------------
B|-----7--------7~~--0-0---2/7~~
G|-4/7---------------0-0---2/7~~
D|------------------------------
A|------------------------------
E|------------------------------
E|----| 
B|----| 
G|----| 
D|----| 
A|----| 
E|10/-| 

NOTE: This is an approximation. The 
lead plays something close to this 
with variations.

E|-----------------| 

Intro: D

NOTES: The guitarist plays 
hammer-ons and pull-offs while 
holding the D chord.

[Hit a staccato D and stop playing]

Verse 1:
             A     G
Good morning Lyla
                       D
The flowers bloomed months ago
     D                A      
And now the branches hang with 
                G        D
autumn's fire
             A         G
I wake each morning
                D
To feel this ground's gone frozen 
beneath me-
                       A           
I dreamed away these months 'til 
           G        D
you were gone

D                   A
And I found myself waking
                 G         
Curled up in my arms with a 
               D
cigarette in hand
                         A          
      G   Little riff    D
And the hopes that we held were in 
my pocket


Chorus:

[Main riff plays continually through
 chorus]

         A
Will we ever be
  G                     D
What this world was to you and me?
         A        G            
Will we ever be crying for these 
       D
days?
         A        G               
Will we ever be what this heart 
        D
held for you and me?
         A           G    D
Will we ever be the same?


Verse 2:
                        A     
And I heard you'd been hanging 
         G#  G
around
                            D
Those city boys learned to dance so 
well
                        A
It breaks my heart, it gives me hell
                G                  
I'll go to the meadow where we used
     D
 to lay
                 A#  A
But I still wade into that stream
     G                      D
The frozen damn water, it tears at 
me
                  D          
But it makes me feel like I'm 
  A                              
fighting to breathe and it's only 
   G                  D
then I'm scared of dying
  D                       A       
It's only when I see you turn to 
           G                       
go that I know I need your love to 
 D
stay


Chorus
         A
Will we ever be
  G                     D
What this world was to you and me?
         A        G            
Will we ever be crying for these 
       D
days?
         A        G               
Will we ever be what this heart 
        D
held for you and me?
         A           G    D
Will we ever be the same?

Verse 3:
But it makes me feel like I'm 
A                             G#  
fighting to breathe and it's only 
 G                   D
then I'm scared of dying
                          A        
It's only when I see you turn to go
          G                     
 that I know I need your love to 
      D
stay
