Chords, Guitar Tablature & Lyrics
____________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are two electric guitars and one acoustic guitar in this one. I'm going to show you the chords and a tip or two - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

By the way, I interpreted these chords from listening to the recording - I did not use any other written music as an aid in writing the tab presented on this page. If you think that I have made a mistake, please let me know about it by dropping me a quick note.

THE CHORDS:

(intro lick) Ab  Db
(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO)

Db                              Gb
last night, while you were far away

Ab                                      Db
I thought I saw the devil and heard him say

Db                          Gb
I've come to take away your soul

     Ab                                   Db
to a place where you can't play no rock-n-roll
 
               Db                         Gb
well, I've got dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
gonna turn my hair to gray,

       
gonna make me fade away,

                           Db
gonna make me see a little light

 

Db                        Gb
a man once told me with a smile

     Ab                     Db
lock all your troubles in a fire

         Db                         Gb
but then someone showed up with the key

         Ab                                  Db
you know you can't never hide what you can't see
 
             Db                         Gb
and I've got dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
gonna turn my hair to gray,


gonna make me fade away,

                           Db
gonna make me see a little light
 

Db                         Gb
dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
cryin' out for heaven sake,


gonna make me lay awake,

                           Db
gonna make me see a little light


Db   Gb   Ab   Db
(SLIDE SOLO)
 

Db                      Gb
pretty girls with curly hair

  Ab                                    Db
I sometimes think that I should take my share

         Db                        Gb 
but that special one that means so much

   Ab                                 Db
I just don't want to lose her special touch
 
             Db                         Gb
and I've got dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
gonna turn my hair turn to gray,


gonna make me fade away,

                      Db
gonna make me see the light
 
Db                         Gb
dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
cryin' out for heaven sake


gonna make me lay awake,

                           Db
gonna make me see a little light

Ab                         Db  Gb  Ab  Db Ab Db
gonna make me see a little liiiiiight

TIPS

The intro lick is (string/fret) 6/4, 5/4, 5/3, 6/6 - play the 6/4 with your second finger and the rest falls in place. Play the first note rather quickly. The notes in between the Db chord symbols are (string/fret) 6/4, 6/6, 6/8. I had to tune my guitar slightly higher to be in tune with the recording.
