Text File

I wrote this song for my GCSE composing coursework back in 2006, it got me an A* (suprisingly)

it's speed is allegretto during the intro and adagietto during the chords.
Finger picking is best used for the intro, the plectrum should wait for the chords.

standard tuning, or step down (step down recommended)

introduction:
e --------0---0-2-----2-5--3--2--0--------3--2--3--2-----2-3p0-3p0----|
b -------0-0-3---3---3-3-3--3--3-1-1-----1-1--1--2--3---3-3---3---3---|
g ----0-0---0-----2-2-----2--2---2--2---2---2--2-----2-2-----------2--|
d ---2-2-----------0-------------2---2-2--------------0-------------0-|
a --2----------------------------0----0-------------------------------|
e -0------------------------------------------------------------------|


e --------0---0-2-----2-5--3--2--7--7--7-5--3--2h3-2-----2-3p0-3p0----|
b -------0-0-3---3---3-3-3--3-----0--0--0-0--0------3---3-3---3---3---|
g ----0-0---0-----2-2-----2--2-2---0--0----0--0------2-2-----------2--|
d ---2-2-----------0----------------------------------0-------------0-|
a --2-----------------------------------------------------------------|
e -0------------------------------------------------------------------|

then it goes straight into chords.
strum powerfully, in the same rythm as the intro...assuming you have it, also,
it is more than 1 strum per chord, i just couldn't be bothered tabbing that,
figure it out, it shouldn't be hard.

I hope you get the rythm right, it really is a rather nice (yet sad) piece.
