The Answer ---------- by Richie Sambora / Mark Foster from the album "Stranger In This Town" (1990) Transcribed by Ertunc Kocakoglu (Mr.Sambo) Hi everybody, I haven't tabbed anything in awhile, so I thought I might try to get started again with this one. This version is how I try to play this song while fingerpicking. It is by no means gospel, but I think it sounds pretty good. I think there are actually 2 or more guitars playing, or possibly a 12-string on this one... This is as close as I can get with one person playing. Hope you like it.

chord is played under it as everything fades out. That should be everything. This has taken too long as is, so I'm not going to include the words,and I'm also not going to put in the rest of the chords over the top of the bars. If anyone else is feeling adventurous enough to do it, go right ahead. Enjoy this one. Questions, comments, additions, and corrections are welcome. The Answer ---------- The lightning flashed as angels Rode fiery chargers through the clouds That answer scared me into tears And all the grownups laughed out loud Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone Now they ride their thunder through the heavens There's a world in every drop of rain Embracing oceans sweep us home again Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie They say for every living thing There's a guide up in the sky That helps you pass from world to world So you never really die Then with scythe and cloak Death comes waltzing to your side As the visions pass you ask If there was meaning to your life As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, and you shall find another life And now my life is like a storm Growing stronger every day Like the unrelenting wind That comes to blow our lives away So I live each day like I know it's my last If there is no future there must be no past Now I know the answers never meant a thing And with each instant that I breathe I feel the joy that life can bring Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
