On second time throug chords, this sounds real nice if you play each succesive chord louder so that the tension builds to a climax at Ami and then you pause and go back to C7M -C verse. This F* chord is not exact, sounds like C/D combo but I am not sure what it is so I cheat by holding the F which works in the key. Suggestions would be appreciated. Nice transition that J plays; really impresses your friends!: The transition includes some real simple eighth note picking that goes from C to G and walk down to C/Cmaj7: B---------------3/5-5-5-5-5-5-3-1-0-1-0 G---0-0------------------------------ D-------2-0-------------------------- G G Complete transition to be played after chorus & before return to verse: E---0--0--0--0--0--0---------------------------------- B---0--0--1--0--1--0------------3/5-5-5-5-5-3-1-0-1-0 G---0--0--0--0--0--0-0-0------------------------------ D---2--------2----------2-0-0------------------------- A---3--------3--------------2--2---------------------- E---------------------------3--3---------------------- C7M C Cmj C C G G Lyrics: Verse 1: I wanna help you But, I sense you're riding pretty low Well I got that feeling when your hair hits the ceiling Something Babe you oughta know Chorus: I won't cry if you walk by But if we both kinda stumble Maybe I'll say hi Thats my best I never try that much 'Cause I'm scared of feeling That healing touch you gotta get through my maze and pass every test 'Cause i choosin' one love to tatoo across my chest Transition fill. Verse 2: Now the time has come I ain't gonna fester no more /* Perhaps the best lines by J Let the world be free of my disease I never knew a rubber doll /* Perhaps the second best line by J? would be so hard to please Chorus: now I'm reachin' out One last burst before i retract No one will know until I finally let go Of the one thing I ain't gonna ever get back The last time I listend to D jrs first album, I noticed that some of the lyrics are different on the electric version.
