Love You 'Til the Day I Die
(N. Finn)

NOTES:

—— Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex.  I
was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed
on two chords.  However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks
and "side chords" in between to make things interesting.  (for exam—
ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this:  X7978[10].)  I would
suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.

—— The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky
in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti—
fully.


INTRO:   B7*  Em*  B7  Em  B7  Em

B7
There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
     Em
That never see the light of day
B7
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
        Em
Just to see the look that's on your face
B7
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
      Em
So forgive me if I tell a lie
B7
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
       Em
I will love you till the day I die

[*** NOTE:  See below for guitar tab for this chorus]
Em  G        F#m           A        Em  G  F#m  A
I believe in doing things backwards
Em   G           F#m               A      Em  G  F#m  A
Take heed, start doing things in reverse


Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax
I'm talking to myself you're coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you till the day I die

I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse

Em                       B*
Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain
G/B*                 G(11)/B*
All makes me glad of you
C                B          C              Em  G  F#m  A
Though I am far away I am always with you

Em       G        F#m               A
Know the answer before you know the question
Em
Pull yourself together, baby, push with all your might
Em      B     G/B      G(11)/B
I'm all alone, always alone
C                B
Though I am far away
       C         B(VII)
I am always with you
