Ok, first of all, Pearl Jam fans, please dont start sending me mail
saying I should have tabbed the Pearl Jam version!! This version
sounds very good, cool to hear it acoustic. About the chords, Asus2
sounds much better than A and Cadd9 is pretty good too. All this sung
and played by the whiniest man alive, Aaron Lewis. Pretty good singer
though.
 Anyway, not much else to say about this, itīs easy. Heīs tuned one
note down if you wanna play with the CD. If you donīt like playing the
strange E chord in the Intro you can just use a normal E chord, sounds
just as good. Enjoy!


INTRO:
------
E*  Asus2   E*  Asus2
E*  Asus2   E
Heeeeyeyeyey


VERSE 1:
--------
E               Asus2
Sheets of empty canvas
         E               Asus2
untouched sheets of clay
E                 Asus2
They spread out before me
      E
as her body once did


VERSE 2:
--------
E           Asus2
All five horizons,
          E             Asus2
revolved around her sun     as the earth to the sun
E                 Asus2
Now the air I've tasted and breathed,
   E
has taken a turn


CHORUS:
-------
    C                                    Em
Ooooooh and all I taught her was... everything
    C                                    Em
Ooooooh I know she gave me all... that she wore
           D
And now my bitter hands
        Cadd9
Shake beneath the clouds
                 Em
Of what was everything
        D                      Cadd9
All the pictures have all been washed in black
              E
Tattooed everything


VERSE 3:
--------
E        Asus2
I take a walk outside
       E               Asus2
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E                Asus2
I can feel their laughter
   E
So what do I say


CHORUS:
-------
     C                                          Em
Oooooooh and twisted thoughts that spin round my head,  I'm spinnin'
           C                                    Em
Whoooh I'm spinning how quick the sun can drop away
           D
And now my bitter hands
         Cadd9
shame on broken glass
                 Em
of what was everything
        D                      Cadd9
All the pictures have all been washed in black
              Em
Tattooed everything
        D
All the love gone bad
          Cadd9
turned my world to black
             D
tattooed all I see
         Cadd9
All that I am
          Em   D          Cadd9
I'll ever beeeeeeeee  yeaahheah
Em      D        Cadd9
oooohoh ooohooh  whoo


OUTRO:
------
  Em
I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
  D
I know you'll be the sun,
   Cadd9                  Em            D
In somebody elses sky but whyhy, whyhy  whyyyyhy
         Cadd9           Em    D     Cadd9

[fading out] Em  D  Cadd9...
