A
There I stood in the night
G#-
 out on the broken pier
            C#-
me with my feet in the sea
C#-7           A
 you with your face in the clouds,
    G#-
the man in the moon
         A
and as I heard your voice,

 felt your laugh
G#-
 flood across the broken pier
A                    (growing, then play chords)
I wanted to die right then and there
     G#-
You smiled down across the waves
         C#-
 as if to say to me
C#-7    A
"Everything will be okay,
     G#-      C#-
be strong and true"
      A
and I felt your eyes

  like the tide
G#-
pulling me out into the air
      A
for a moment in time

 you held me there,


*Play main arpeggio*

      A
and I felt your eyes

  like the tide
G#-
pulling me out into the air
  A
Oh for a moment in time

 you held me there,

F#-
 father and son,
E
home again'

Of course, fell free to make this tab better.
I did my best, but Adrian is a monster guitarist and he does some strange chord; he's a 
he's the story, and I'm only a nut.
But this is my tribute to him.
Thank you Ade.


This tab and the time to write it is dedicated to my father.
I love you Dad, I miss you so much.
My life without you is only an half of what it was.
We�ll be "father and son, home again" and we'll love each other like always.
I�m sure.
