Tabs: "If I Am" by Nine Days
For those of you that have the Nine Days Cd or have heard it know that
this song is really cool. I didn't wanna be really fancy with it so i
just put the chords above the words and its easy to figure out when they
change. But anyway hope you enjoy. Its about 100% correct... but there
could be slight errors. Thanks.
Verse G Em C Am
So you’re standing on the ledge it looks like you might fall…. so far
down or maybe you were
Thinking about jumping.., now you could have it all if you learned a
lot of patience.. for though I cannot fly im not content to crawl….to
give me a little credit…, have in me a little faith I wanna be with you
forever if tomorrow’s not too late
Pre Chorus Em D G Em D Em Cadd9
But its always too late when you got nothing….so you say. And you
should never let the sunset on tomorrow before the sunrises today.
Chorus G D Cadd9 G Em/G D Cadd9
If I am…..another waste of everything you dreamed of I will let you
down………If I am only here to watch you as you suffer……I will let you down….
G Cadd9 G Em D
Verse G Em C Am
So you’re walking on the edge and you wait your turn to fall but you’re
so far gone that you don’t see the hands upheld to catch…..and you
could find the fault in the heart that you’ve been handed for though you
cannot fly you’re not content to crawl…
Pre-Chorus Em D G Em D Em Cadd9
And it’s always too late when you got nothing so you say……and you
should never let the sunset on tomorrow before the sunrises today
Chorus G D Cadd9 G Em/G D Cadd9
If I am another waste of everything you dreamed of….i will let you
down……if I am only here to watch you as you suffer…..i will let you down. G

Nine Days -- Absolutely (Story of a Girl)
I figured out this song a while ago, but since no one has put
a decent copy on the internet I decided to step up. This real
nice when I play along with (or without)the actual song. Some
people think its played too much...I might agree, but I never
get tired of hearing it. If you like this tab feel free to give it
to a friend. Also feel free to check out my webite
www.angelfire.com/games/playersparadisefor all sorts of
neat stuff...
G, Dsus4, A7sus4, D, Cadd9, Em7, G/F#

and dA7sus4rowned the whole world D
G C(9)
and while she looked so sad in photographs
I abA7sus4solutely love her
G Dsus4 C(9) G Dsus4 C(9) (this part is tough)
when she smiles...Verse:
G C(9)
how many days in a year
she wGoke up with hope but she onlyD found tears
G C(9)
and I can be so insincere
maGking her promise is neverD for real
G C(9)
as long as she stands there waiting
weGarin the holes on the soles oDf her shoes
G C(9)
how many days dissappear
when you lGook in the mirror
and say hoDw do you choosePre-Chorus:
your clEmothes never wear as G/F#well the next day

but Emyou never seem to G/F#run out of things toA7sus4 say

Guitar Solo
the way this is played in the song makes it nearly
impossible to tab perfectly so a few notes may be
missing, but this is very close. This is also a great
solo to improvise on -- be creative!!
(P.S.-- I didn't figure out the lead into the solo, the tab
below is only after the band pauses)

(Pre-Chorus x 1)
(Refrain x 3) (leave out "G, Dsus4, C(9)" set and combine the 3
refrains)
End Riff:
The end riff is the set of chords that you didn't play during the last
string
of refrain riffs
G, Dsus4, C(9), G, Dsus4, C(9), G, Dsus4, C(9), G...fade out
(Whenever this riff is played during the song the band switches between
the chords quickly and doesn't play each one the same number of times.
Listen to the song and you'll get a feel for it).
Hope you can follow all this. Practice and before you know it you'll
be
impressing your friends with those mad guitar skills. And don't forget
about www.angelfire.com/games/playersparadise!!
See ya later.
