  • WARNING: this tab is for open G tuning (my favorite) with the capo
    on the third fret, to subsequently give open Bflat tuning
    i also tabbed it in standard form (so a 3 actually isn't
  • a 3, but a 6) just to cause more difficulty :)
    this is also from memory, so please bear with me.........

  • repeat above three lines, this is the basic pattern Rich plays thru out the
    song.
    his chord formations:
  • Bflat (open) Eflat
    and if i recall, those are the only
    0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 two chords that he uses !!!
  •  
    for the chorus, Marc Ford plays this bit:

  • ***(the mighty verses:)
    Bflat (1st rhythm pattern thru out all verses)
    Wake me when the day breaks
  • show me how the sun shines
    Eflat
    tell me bout your heart--aches
  • Eflat(ho) Bflat
    who could be so unkind
    Bflat
  • do you dream to touch me
    and smile down deep inside
    Eflat
  • or could you just kill me
    Eflat(ho) Bflat
    yeah, it's hard to make up your mind sometimes
  • CHORUS:
    Bflat
    angel, devil, a thorn in my pride
  • my angels, my devils, a thorn in my pride
    (1st riff again)
     
  • Bflat
    are you wanting inspiration
    you spill your secrets on me
  • Eflat
    then you tell me with a whis--per
    Eflat(ho) Bflat
  • of things that will never be
    Bflat
    do you hear me breathing
  • does it make you wanna scream
    Eflat
    did you ever like a bad dream
  • Eflat(ho) Bflat
    yeah, sometimes life is obscene
    CHORUS:
  • Bflat
    angel, devil, a thorn in my pride
    my angels, my devils baby, a thorn in my pride
  •  
    *** this is the little interlude where Chris goes nuts
    *** i play the progression something like this (just groove however it
  • *** feels):
    ||-----------------------0----0----------------------------------------------
    ||-----------------------1----0----------------------1---1h-(0)-------=------
  • ||--2/slide-4---2---0----0----0---0----0-------------------------------------

    lover, cover me with your sleep
  • let your love light shine, let it shine
    lover, cover me with a good dream
    ooh, let your love light shine, let it shine
  •  
    (solo - based on same verse riffs)
     
  •  
    and the rest of the song, you can figure out from what i've put
    up above
  • of course, Rich never plays a song the same way twice, so just try it
    a few times and do whatever feels comfortable
    i apologize for not tabbing the solos, and other parts that the lead
  • guitar plays, i'm more of a "rhythm makes the song" player, so that's
    what i listen for (besides, Marc never plays a solo or fill the same
    way either :) )
  • PLAY TOO ..
