While Speedy M has been posting tabs like a madman I've been working on this. This is based on several acoustic versions, so it may be arranged differently or something on the actual album. Here goes...It seems like a lot of the new songs are in C major


Intro/Verse
--------------1-1----1----1-1--------------------
---1----------3-3----3----0-0----------1-1-------
---0----------2-2----2----0-0----------0-0----0--
---2-0h2-0-0--0-0----0----0-0-0h2-0----2-2-0h2---
-3----------------0-----2-----------3------------
-------------------------------------------------

(lyrics may be very wrong)
I met her in the mountains though I lived down by the sea
And now it seems these mountains are just way too high for me

chorus

           Let me explain

She said if we'll be witches then there must be nakedness
I said you have no heart until that achin' fills your chest

  But I can't explain it a--n--y-more

We held hands in the temple but we had no wedding day
Now she sends me perfume letters And I throw them all away

CHORUS

A friend showed me your picture from the 1970s
Now I'm wondering where you are tonight and I'm singing woe is me

CHORUS - BRIDGE

Na na na  na na  na na  na na na  na na
Na na na  na na  na na  na na na  na na

Please post corrections. I'm not positive about the G7 in the verse

Damn you! I was working on this one. My lack of doing anything last night led to some mad 2am tabbing. As such, I'm sure they are rife with mistakes. Thanks for this one though, I shall enjoy plucking away at it. Cheers!

PS I hear you about the C Major thing. It's not like this are the first C major songs he's written, but this album is full of 'em. It's such a versitle 'country' kinda chord, as you can throw in all the little middle finger bends and pull offs and such, all twangy like. And it just begs to switch to an F or an Am of a Dm. The song practically writes itself! At least, that's what happens when I come up with a little ditty and then realize I just completely ripped off "Horrible Day". It just feels right. Frank has certainly embraced the more traditional song structure/chord progression. Though he does still mix things up, as with Massif Centrale, which is more of a departure from traditonal song forms. This could be an interesting thread topic on its own....
