I think the verse picking is actually done by two guitars, but I've only transcribed the main part. INTRO: ------ This pattern is also used in the verses: PATTERN 1: Em Cadd9 Am G D/F# E|----------0-------------------------------------------------| B|-------0----0-------3--------------0--1-0-------------------| G|-----0------------0----0---0-----2---------------0----2-----| D|-------------------------2---------------------0--------0---| A|---------------3--------------0-----------------------------| E|--0-----------------------------------------3------2--------| Play that twice for the intro and then keep playing it in the verses. The last time you play the pattern in the verse, it's a little different. Then it goes like this: PATTERN 1B: Em Cadd9 F E|----------0------------------------------| B|-------0----0-------3--------------------| G|-----0------------0----0---0--2----------| D|-------------------------2----3----------| A|---------------3--------------3----------| E|--0---------------------------1----------| |played with distortion. In the first verse you play PATTERN 1 three times, then PATTERN 1B once. In the second verse you play PATTERN 1 five times, then PATTERN 1B once. VERSE 1: -------- Em I'm sorry Cadd9 Am for the times that I made you scream G D/F# Em for the times that I killed your dreams Cadd9 Am G D/F# for the times that I made your whole world rumble Em Cadd9 Am For the times that I made you cry G D/F# Em for the times that I told you lies Cadd9 F for the times that I watched and let you stumble CHORUS: ------- E5 It's too bad C5 A5 but that's me G5 F#* E5 C5 A5 What goes around comes around you'll see G5 F#* A5 D5 that I can carry G5 C5 the burden of pain A5 D5 cause it ain't the first time G5 C5 that a man goes insane A5 D5 when I spread my wings G5 C5 to embrace him for life A5 sucking out his love D5 ah, I'll never be G5 C5 nobody's wife Now play PATTERN 1 twice, and an electric guitar plays this little fill: / = slide b = bend r = release bend p = pull-off ~ = vibrato E|--10/12-------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|---------------14b16r14p12----14-12----12~--| D|---------------------------14-------14------| A|--------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------| VERSE 2: [play PATTERN 1 five times, then PATTERN 1B once] -------- I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home left you lying in that bed alone flying high in the sky when you needed my shoulder You're like a stone hanging round my neck, see cut it loose before it breaks my back, see I I've gotta say what I feel before I crow older Sorry, but I ain't gonna change my way you know I've tried but I'm still the same I've got to do it my way CHORUS: [play like first chorus] ------- It's too bad but hey, that's me What goes around comes around, you'll see that I can carry the burden of pain 'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane when I spread my wings to embrace him for life I'm sucking out his love ah, I'll never be nobody's wife yeah GUITAR-SOLO: ------------ Played over these chords: E5 C5 A5 G5 F#* [play four times] It's like the first part of the chorus. I don't transcribe solos, make up your own. The best way to solo in Em is to use an E minor pentatonic or E blues scale. The E minor pentatonic scale goes like this: E|-----------------------------------------12--15--| B|---------------------------------12--15----------| G|-------------------------12--14------------------| D|-----------------12--14--------------------------| A|---------12--14----------------------------------| E|-12--15------------------------------------------| Use the notes from this scale to make up your own solo. CHORUS: [play like previous choruses] ------- It's too bad but hey, that's me What goes around comes around, you'll see that I can carry the burden of pain 'cause it ain't the first time, oh, no, that a man goes insane when I spread my wings to embrace him for life Sucking out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife yeah OUTRO: ------ [chords for the outro are the same as the first part of the chorus and the guitar solo: E5 C5 A5 G5 F#*. Play those over and over again while singing this:] I'll never be, never be, never gonna be, never gonna be, never gonna be nobody's wife Nobody yeah, nobody yeah no no... [keep singing something like this and fade out...] ********************************************************************** Questions, comments, corrections, requests, send to: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk ********************************************************************** Visit the QUALITY TABS INC.
