Chords, Guitar Tablature & Lyrics
____________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are two acoustic guitars, two electric guitars and one very cool fiddle in this one. I'm going to show you the chords - you can take it from there. Sorry, there is no way that I can finger out the fiddle part! 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:


(FIDDLE INTRO)

E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7
E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7


E             G6                 Asus2              Cmaj7
have you ever felt yourself in a place a little strange

E             G6                       Asus2    Cmaj7
where nothin' seemed the way it should be

E          G6                 Asus2                Cmaj7
and every time you'd set your sight and take an aim

E                    G6          Asus2   Cmaj7
things would change, move out of range

 
E                     G6                Asus2            Cmaj7
have you stood in the sunshine and seen darkness everywhere

E                     G6            Asus2    Cmaj7
have you looked for a seashell on a street

E                G6                     Asus2          Cmaj7
has it made much difference that you've never had to share

E                  G6                  Asus2   Cmaj7
you've just given, given it all to the wind

E                  G6                  Asus2   Cmaj7
you've just given, given it all to the wind


E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7
E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7
E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7
E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7
(FIDDLE SOLO)
 
E                G6                   Asus2            Cmaj7
when you finally find yourself in the middle of a dream

E              G6           Asus2    Cmaj7
and the vision slowly slips away

E            G6                   Asus2            Cmaj7
it's hard to hold yourself in the middle of a stream

E                 G6                   Asus2   Cmaj7
you just give in, giving it all to the wind

E                 G6                   Asus2   Cmaj7
you just give in, giving it all to the wind


E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7
E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7
E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7
E    G6    Asus2    Cmaj7
...(keep repeating & fade)...
(FIDDLE SOLO)

TIPS

Most of the Song

The 2 single notes that play before the E chord and after the Cmaj7 chord are (string/fret): 6/3, 6/2.

1 -|| -----------------------------------------x
2 -|| -----------------------------------------x
3 -|| -----------------------------------------x
4 -|| -----------------------------------------x
5 -|| -----------------------------------------x
6 -|| ----------3---2---0 (with E chord)--

Play the last note (open E string) with the E chord.

Let the two top strings ring out all the time when playing the chords.

All the chord symbols represent four beats apiece.
