Really, the best way to look at it is you hit the 'A' string followed quickly by the 'G' string for each
chord...then you follow the patterns of...
A#—C—Dm—C (pause) A#—C—Dm (pause) [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]
A#—C—Dm—C (pause) A#—C—Dm (pause) [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]
A#—Dm—C—A# A#—Dm—C—A# Dm—C—A# (pause) [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3]
A#—C—Dm—C A#—C—C—A# A#—C—Dm—C A#—C—Dm—Dm—? [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..]
===========================================================
Rest of the Song:
===========================================================
Then the intro ends, and the drums kick in, and the rest can be found tabbed everywhere...basically...it's the
same barr chords...
Dm—10,12,12,10,10,10
A#—688766
C—8,10,10,9,8,8
F—133211
Am—577555
Gm—355333
** Important note...A#~C means slide the A# chord into the C chord...
[[[ Verse ]]]
Dm A#~C F A#—Am—Gm
Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions..
Dm A#~C F A#—Am—Gm
You, laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking...
F A# Am Gm
Say love you drive me to distraction...
(some Violin plucking here, don't know it)
Dm A#~C F A# Am Gm
Oh, helena, do you believe that we might Last a
Dm A#~C F A# Am Gm
Thousand years or more if not for this, our flesh and blood
F A# Am Gm
it ties, you and me right up tie me down
[[[ Chorus ]]]
F C Gm A# Am F C Gm A# Am
.....Celebrate we will.........cause life is short and sweet for certain...
F C Gm A# Am F C Gm A# Am
We're climbing two by two........to be sure these days continue...
F A#—Am—Gm F
Things we cannot change..
(ok, more violin plucking while dave just plays F—A#—Am—Gm over and over)
Now, you just have to keep going...two more verses and two more choruses...just as above...
Just keep up with the 3 Chord patterns...
1) Dm A#~C F A#—Am—Gm (main one in verses, remember A#~c means A# slides into a C)
2) F C Gm A# Am (maind one in chorus)
3) F A#—Am—Gm (used in various places)
