"Gift" by Sugar, from the album F.U.E.L.
Transcribed by Daniel Meijer
The main chord riff....ie the intro...is sus2 chords:
Bsus2 Dsus2
E---2------------5-------------|
B--2-2-2-2------5-5-5-5--------|
G--4-------4----7-------7------|
D--4------------7--------------|
A--2------------5--------------|
E--x-------------x-------------|
Hold the chord while you play the little line on the 2nd & 3rd string. So in the verse, when I say "Bsus2"
mean the riff above.
-----A>>>B--- means bend note A to the pitch of B.
Lead Break:
F#5 D5 A5 E5 D5
e---------------------5>>>7----------------------|
B-----------------------------5>>>>7-------------|
G--4>>>>6-----7>>>>9-------------------7>>>>9----|
Bsus2 Dsus2
an' I received this gift from you
A E D E
Pleasantly surprised, I never thought you'd realise that maybe
Bsus2 Dsus2
I have taken this from you
A E D E
If I was deserving, who am I to disagree
A E D B
How can I refuse this, even if I don't deserve it?
And now, I give this gift to you
Could have got you anything but this will have to do
It's how I give this gift to you
Doesn't seem like much but it's the best that I could do
I'm giving everything away before I go for good.
F#5 E
And once you give the gift away
D Bsus2
there's nothing you can do about it.
F#m E
Nothing that you do or say
D Bsus2
can change the way I feel about it
F#m E
Try to look inside of me
D Bsus2
To find the gift that I am giving
F#m E
Glad you had a chance to see
D Bsus2
the gift that I'm delivering
