This part needs to be played by finger-picking. The chords above the tab usually give an easy reference to the proper positioning of the left hand while the individual notes are played. Intro-melody: (C) (Em) (F) (repeat 2x) E:----------0------------0----------------0---------1------------------------- --- B:----------------------------3----------------3-----1---------------0--1--3-- - G:-----------------0----------------------------------------2-----2----------- --- D:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A:----------3----------------------------------------------------------------- ----- E:-----------------------------------0------------------1--------------------- ---- (C) (Em) (F) E:----------0------------0-----------------0---3------5----------------------- -- B:-----------------------------3---------------------------------------------- ----- G:-----------------0---------------------------------------------------------- ----- D:-------------------------------------------------------3-------------------- ----- A:----------3----------------------------------------------------------------- ----- E:-----------------------------------0---------------------------------------- ----- Verse 1:
There are oceaCns of feelingsEm be-tween us,F C Amcurrents that take us and sweep uCs away. CThat's why we seldomEm have seen us, F C in the liAmght of a coGld hard day. C AmLot's of new friends, with the same olCd answers, Amopen your eyes you might see, G G7 if our lCives were that simpleEm we'd live inF the past, C if the pAmhone doesn't ring,G its me. C
Chorus:
If the pGhone doesn't ring, you know thatC it's me, I'll be Gout in the eye of the storm, C if the pGhone doesn't ring, you know thatC I'll be, where someoGne can make me feel warm. C It's Ctoo bad we can'tEm turn and live iFn the past, C Am G C-(first chord of intro) if the phone doesn't ring, it's me.
Intro-melody: No repeats this time. Verse 2: C Em F
I've had C good days and bad days and going - half - mad days, I Amtry to let go, but your stilCl on my mind. I've Clost all the olEmd ways, I'm searcFhing for new waysC, AmPutting it Gall on the liCne. AmLots of new friends, with the same olCd problems, Amopen your eyes you might see, G G7 if our lCives were that simpleEm we'd live inF the past, C if the phAmone doesn't ring,G it's me. C
Repeat chorus. Intro-melody: Play the tab part, singing these words over it. All repeats this time.
CIt's Em me, it'sF me, Cit's Em me, it'sF me, Cit's Em me, it'sF me, Cit's Em me, it'sF me.
Coda: (Slowly)
If it C takes all our futEmure we'll livFe through the past, C if the pAmhone doesn't ring,G it's me. C C/F C
That's All. Once again, this song sounds much better if you finger-pick it. Also, it's a nice touch to add a high "g" note to the Em chords. -Richard Burchett "We're wanted men, we'll strike again, but first let's have a beer!" -J. Buffett
