Try to get the Irish accent. It makes it so much nicer ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------- A E Lying in my bed again, F#m D And I cry cause you're not here. A E Crying in my head again, F#m D And I know that it's not clear. A Put your hands, put your hands E F#m D Inside my face and see that it's just you. A But it's bad, and it's mad, E And it's making me sad F#m D Because I can't be with you Chorus: ------ A E F#m D Be with you, Be with you, Be with you, Be with you, A E Be with you, Be with you, F#m D Babe I can't be with you. Thinking back on how things were And how we loved so well I wanted to be the mother of your child And now it's just farewell Put your hands inside my hands And come with me, We'll find another end And my head, and my head On anyone's shoulder Cause I can't be with you. (Chorus) Cause you're not here, you're not here Baby I can't be with you Cause you're not here, you're not here And back I'm still in love with you. (ad. lib to end) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Again, this sounds good on an electric-acoustic, using a Passac or DI and a bit of reverb - but don't go overboard! The best way to get the 'muffled' acoustic sound is to cut your fingernails and use no pick. Use your thumb and index finger on the strings, quickly raking, and your palm to slightly deaden the strings.. still, if you find a better way... ;) Use >5th barres for the chords (A == E @ 5th, E == A @ 7th, F#m == Am @ 7th, D == A @ 5th) when it starts getting going. Open chords sound good at the start, but once the rest of the band kicks in, the rapid raking of the barres sounds better. Haven't worked out the electric in the background yet, tho. Enjoy. -- Cheers! +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ |.__ . . |---- You took the dog, you took the car, ----| ||__) o __ __ |\/| __ _ |--------- You left me on a monday; ----------| || \ (__ | `| | '__\ | ||----- The only thing you didn't take --------| || \ | ___)|__.| | (__) | ||---- Was my half-full bottle of Bundy. ------| +-President of the Intel Removal Society, Regd off.
