Subject: TAB:Solace of you-Living Colour!!!!!!

 Hiya all!
 I know a lot of you have been screaming your lunges out for some
 Living Colour TAB, well here is 'The solace of you' and some pieces of
 'Love rears up it's ugly head'. Like always use your imagination while
 playing these parts and do some improvisation so it sounds exactly like
 the record. I wrote this down without listening to the record at the same
 time so some misplacements may have occured. C-ya and have fun!

    Living Colour - Solace of You (a real GEM!)

Lyrics :

(intro)

(Riff 1)

When it hurts to be out there
Where noone cares
I've got the solace of you

Frustrated by the peoples lying
But I keep on trying
I've got the solace of you

When I can't think straight
And there's no escape
I've got the solace of you

(Riff 2)

Gotta go inside
Back where it started               (2x)
Back to the beginning
Cause that's where my heart is

(Riff 1)

They can hurt me, jail my body
I'd still be free
I've got the solace of you

They can take my land
Tell me I'm not who I am
I've got the solace of you

A wiseman said to know thyself
Cause in the end there is noone else
Just the solace of you

(Riff 2)
Gotta go inside
Back where it started            (2x)
Back to the beginning
Cause that's where my heart is

Gotta go inside                  (2x)
Back to the beginning

(1x first line Riff 1 + Riff 3)
