Tuning: E A D G B E
This is based on the piano with some minor changes to make it more guitar friendly.
Best played finger picked rather than with a plectrum. Either technique is possible, you just might
not have a great time with the chords if you use a plectrum. Many of the chords are spread or arpeggiated.
Writing all the ornaments in precisely as they sound makes the tab very hard to read so I've written
everything as block chords.
The tune is in a very loose 4/4 timing. Learn to play it quite strictly then once you nail that you can push
and pull the timings around a little. Chord names are there so you know what you're playing but avoid
substituting the tabbed chord for an easier version cause the song won't sound as good.

Give me my month as a lucky one
Let me see where she is going
Oh let me see where she has gone
Let me see where she has gone
Help me back south with my changing love
Ever told her where the fear comes from
I never told her where the fear comes from
I never told her where the fear comes from
Halfway through the night she won't have come
Or seen where I have been in the time
We were undone
In the time we were undone
In the time we were undone
