The chorus is done with chords. It goes Verse 1, Ver 2, Ver 3, Chorus, Ver 4, Ver 2, Chorus end. Verse 1: I'm gonna live my life Like every day's the last Without a sim-ple good-by It all goes by so fast Verse 2: And now that you're gone I can't cry hard enough No I can't cry hard enough For you to hear me know Verse 3: Gonna open my eyes And see for the first time I've let go of you like A child letting go of his kite Chorus: Am G There it goes up in the sky Am A# There it goes beyond the clouds C G Am For no reason why--------y I can't cry hard enough C F Em G C (CaddD) ....No I can't cry hard enough-- for you to hear me now Verse 4: Gonna look back in vain And see you standing there When all that remains Is just an empty chair The C add D thing at the end of the chorus is just something to play with. It's a three finger C chord, 1st position with the pinky on the 4th string 3rd fret. CaddD |-0-| |-1-| |-0-| |-3-| |-3-| |-x-| This is from listening to the song on the album and is in the key they do it in. Of course they do a better job, but my arrangement sounds pretty good with someone who can really sing. It is done predominantly at first position. They vary the intro pattern at the end of each verse so after you learn it, you can embellish it as you wish. Verse notes are plucked on the beat. If it's in 4/4 time, the TAB notes are all 1/8 notes. I spaced the TAB numbers out to fit over the words only, not to indicate timing changes. They syncopate the words quite a bit. It helps to hear the song the way they do it. I'm not sure I followed all correct TAB standards, but I hope you are able to enjoy this beautiful song from my first TAB attempt. I looked this over several times and it looks like I play it. Send an e-mail and let me know if this gets you going. Noskowicz_Steve@macmail2.cig.mot.com
