The first bit of this tab is just the chords. I tabbed out a couple of the riffs at the end. The chord endings
in parenthesis are optional add-ons based on what the harp is doing in the background. The "(x2)" bit in the
middle indicates where the chords are to be played for twice the usual duration (four beats instead of two).
I primarily used the sub bass for the chords' roots, but looked at every instrument for the complete chord.
Any of the Em chords may be played as C/E. It is sort of ambiguous.
Tuning: Standard
Chords:
F Em Fmaj7 C
F(9)I dreamed that I, Emhad lost you
F(maj7)I woke up, Cwith a tear
FI think you left it on, Emmy pillow case
DmThe last time you were here
FAnd we came from nowhere; Emwe came from nothing
FAnd we could go back there, Cif that's what it takes
FBut I made a promise
EmThat I'd try to keep you
DmUntil the ribbon breaks
DmUntil the ribbon breaks
[A couple of bars of eerie noises]
FI wonder why, EmI came home
FMore red letters, Cthrough my door
FOh but you just came Emfrom nowhere
DmWe've been sleeping on the floor
DmI don't feel homesick anymore
[Double time on those chords for the instrumental bridge... 2 beats per chord change]
