I put the mandolin's melody to guitar-tabulature. The bars above the notation stand for approximate major beats. By the way... can't figure it out what the guitar really plays during the chorus - somebody ask Mitch (the player on the cd!!) Play it anyway like this: SUDDENLY (Soraya) verse: (repeat almost endlessly) |f#m |E |A | e---------------------------------| B-----------------02---2----0-2-0-| G-2-----2-4-----4----2------------| D-----4-------6-------------------| A---4-------7-----0---------------| E-2-------4-----------------------| f#m E A a thousand eyes looking at me f#m E A but yours is the look that goes right through me and i f#m E A cannot hide from your stare f#m E A should i let you in - do i dare f#m E A some other hands have tried before f#m E A but yours is the touch that makes me want more f#m E A cannot hide the urgency f#m E A to have you lying here with me because Chorus A E D(add9) suddenly in my life A E D(add9) there's something that's got me mystified and i A E D(add9) A E D(add9) cannot fight it but i can try to keep the wonder of it alive a thousand words have tried to say but yours are the ones that'll never fade away and i cannot hide from their sound i am mesmerized spinning round and round and some other hearts have tried to steal mine yours is the one that i now hold dear i'll do what it takes to keep you here i'm a selfish fool but i have no fear Chorus Mandolin-Solo: (those underlined play with mandolin-effect) | | | | e------------------------------------------------| B-17-17-17-17-15-14-15-14----14---------17-17-17-| G-------------------------15----16-14------------| D------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------| | | | | | | | | e---------------------------------------------------------------| B-17-15-14-15-17-14----------------------------14----14-15------| G---------------------------------14-16-14-16----16-------16-14-| D----------------------------14-16------------------------------| A---------------------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------------------| | | | | e-------------------------16-17------------------| B-17-17-17-17-15-14-15---------------------------| G----------------------16------------------------| D------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------| a thousand times i've tried to stay alone by pushing you away time after time and tear after tear i find myself back her with you a thousand visions have come to me all promising serenity as i struggle to find the source of this peace i always end up with your kiss 2x Chorus Solo ad lib. www.TAB6.com
