You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------## From: law2@husc.harvard.edu "If I Can't Change Your Mind," by Sugar. >From their 1992 Rykodisc album Copper Blue. Tabbed out by Keith E. Law (law2@husc.harvard.edu). This is the single version. I have no clue if the album version is any different. There's another tab of this song out there somewhere, but it's very hard to read so I decided to write it out in a more legible fashion. NOTE: CAPO ON THIRD FRET!!!!!!! All chord names herein designate position; e.g., D = XX0232, which, with a capo on the third fret, is actually an F. T = play with thumb / = slide up \ = slide down ^ = bend ^q = quarter tone ^h = half tone ^F = full tone if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked h = hammer p = pull-off g = grace note - written above note to be 'graced' ~ = vibrato This is the main riff: --2---0-2---3---2-0--|--2---0-2---0-0-0-0--| --3---3-3---3---3-3--|--3---3-3---3-2-0-2--| --2---2-2---0--------|--2---2-2---2-2-2-2--| --0---0-0---0--------|--0---0-0---2-2-2-2--| ------------2--------|------------0-0-0-0--| ------------3--------|---------------------| In chord names: D Dsus2 D G D(no5) Dsus2(no5) D Dsus2 D Asus4 A Asus2 A ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For simplicity's sake, call this A pattern Riff A. Behind the lyrics: D G Tears fill up my eyes D Riff A I'm washed away with sorrow D G And somewhere in my mind D Bm F#m I know there's no tomorrow G A Well I see you're leaving soon D A Bm F#m I guess you've had your fill G Riff A (to main riff) But if I can't change your mind then no one will [Same for verse 2] And all throughout the years I've never strayed from you my dear But you suspect I'm somewhere else You're feeling sorry for yourself Leaving with a broken heart I love you even still But if I can't change your mind then no one will If I can't change your mind F#m G Even though my heart keeps breaking Bm C Don't you know that I'll be waiting D D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Here for you F#m G Then when you return F#m G When will you return Bm I hope you see I'm dedicated C Look how long that I have waited F#m If you come back then you will find G Riff A A different person if you change your mind [Verse 3 - back to same pattern] How can I explain away Something that I haven't done And if you can't trust me now You'll never trust in anyone Leaving with a broken heart I love you even still But if I can't change your mind then no one will If I can't change your mind [transition] Bm F#m [jump to middle of verse pattern] Someday you'll see I've been true I'll stay that way until But if I can't change your mind then no one will The very end: -------------------|-------------------|-------------------| --------------2-3--|--3-2--------------|--------------2-3--| --------0-2-4------|------4-2-0--------|--------0-2-4------| --0-2-4------------|------------4-2-0--|--0-2-4------------| -------------------|-------------------|-------------------| -------------------|-------------------|-------------------| --g----------------|-----|| --3/5-3-2-0--------|--3--|| ------------2-0----|--2--|| -------------------|--0--|| -------------------|--0--|| -------------------|-----|| If you find this file and like it, all I ask is that you let me know: Keith E. Law law2@husc.harvard.edu  From: s925047@minyos.xx.rmit.EDU.AU (David Geoffrey King) 'If I Can't Change Your Mind'- Sugar From 'Copperblue' I've seen other transcriptions using a capo but this is how I play it. It's sounds the best on a twelve string but still cool on a 6. The rhythm isn't exactly right but the chords are good. (Use your thumb for the F chords.)
