SEAGULL - RIDE - Transcribed by Noah Nethero

This is played several different ways.  I have taken this from the live performance of  
live in Sweden, 2003 from Andy Bell &amp; Mark Gardener
The previous attempt someone else had was pretty good but I knew that was not correct.  
listened and re-tabed it for all you Ride fans.  This is my first attempt at a tab so 
with me.

I don't know what to call all the chords.  So if I get the name wrong, I am sorry.

The  Bsus4 and the B7sus4 alternate back and forth by just dropping a finger off to give 
the rhythm sound.  You have to play with it till you get what sounds like.

                                                       (other chords heard)
      Bsus4          B7sus4      D   A  E   G            Dsus4   A/D
e-------0---------------0--------3---0--0---3--------------3------0--------=
b-------0---------------0--------2---2--0---3--------------3------2--------=
g-------4---------------4--------3---2--1---0--------------2------2--------=
d-------4---------------4--------0---2--2---0--------------0------0--------=
a-------2---------------0------------0--2---2------------------------------=
e-------x(0)------------x(0)------------0---3------------------------------=

Bsus4 rhythm         D    A
MY EYES ARE SORE MY BODY WEAK
Bsus4 rhythm         D	   A
MY THROAT IS DRY I CANNOT SPEAK
Bsus4 rhythm
MY WORDS ARE DEAD
D              A          Bsus4 rhythm
FALLING LIKE ASHES TO THE FLOOR
               D            E      D        Bsus rhythm
FALLING LIKE ASHES TO THE FLOOR OH OH OH OH OH

The rest of the song uses the same chords there are some variations used like the Dsus4 
some parts for embellishment.  Other time I can hear him playing A/D when transitioning 
give a alternating base sound.  Play with it and have fun.

YOU GAVE ME THINGS I'D NEVER SEEN
YOU MADE MY LIFE A WAKING DREAM
BUT WE ARE DEAD
FALLING LIKE ASHES TO THE FLOOR
FALLING LIKE ASHES TO THE FLOOR

(Bridge chord structure)
G              D      A
DEFINITIONS CONFINE THOUGHTS
Bsus4 rhythm
THEY ARE A MYTH
G                   D      A       Bsus4 rhythm
WORDS ARE CLUMSY LANGUAGE DOESN'T FIT
G                   D      A       Bsus4 rhythm
BUT WE NO THERE'S NO LIMIT TO A THOUGHT
G                  D to Dsus4 rythm
WE KNOW THERE'S NO LIMIT

Repeat beginning chord structure

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO SEE ME RISE
YOU BURN MY WINGS BUT WATCH ME FLY
ABOVE YOUR HEAD
LOOKING DOWN I SEE YOU FAR BELOW
LOOKING UP YOU SEE MY SPIRIT GLOW....
