Tabbed by Ann Hogan

Hello, all.

There were a few errors in the previous submission of this tab (under the
band name "The Jakes"), so I posted my corrected version of it.

In this song, some of the chords are the same, just with different
fingerings, so I marked the different ones with an asterisk (*).

       EADGBe
Dmaj7  xxx779
Bm     xxx777
Aadd9  xx7657
A      xx7655
E7     x76750
A*     x02220
Dmaj7* x57675
E7*    020100
Amaj7  x02120

The riff that he plays after he says "kissing" and "hurt":

B|-0--0----|

Dmaj7 Bm Aadd9 A x2

Dmaj7 Bm
Sweetness, 
Bm                  Aadd9 A
On the rips of your old   dress. 
Dmaj7 Bm
Twilight 
Bm                      Aadd9 A
Passed the banks of the warm  fire.

Dmaj7                                   Bm         
Whispers in the dark, they hit the trees
Aadd9                                               A
And they run in to your heart to find mamas sleeves.
Dmaj7                                Bm
Daddy aint awake, and daylights gone. 
Aadd9                                   A
Afraid of the dark, you think of mamas bones.

E7
Cause I cant live like this 
E7                        A*
Because I heard your mama cry.
A*                 Dmaj7 Bm
Behind the door Im listening; 
A                   Dmaj7*
She said shes gonna fly.
Dmaj7*                     E7*    Riff
With words your mouth shes kissing.
E7             Amaj7         Dmaj7 Bm
And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child,
Dmaj7*
Your back is straight;
Dmaj7*   E7*                      Riff
Dont let hurt  curve it that way." 
E7*
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

Dmaj7 Bm Aadd9 A x2

Dmaj7 Bm
Sweetness, 
Bm                  Aadd9 A
On the ribs of your bare  chest.
Dmaj7 Bm
Twilight 
Bm                  Aadd9 A
On the roof of that snowy night.

Dmaj7                                 Bm 
You ran outside without your boots on.
Aadd9                                        A
You could be lost, youd find yourself at home
Dmaj7                                  Bm
Where mamas house is up on the sunrise.
Aadd9                           A
Sweet good God, just take me by surprise.

E7
Cause I cant live like this, 
E7                        A*
Because I heard your mama cry.
A*                 Dmaj7 Bm
Behind the door Im listening; 
A                   Dmaj7*
She said shes gonna fly.
Dmaj7*                     E7*     Riff
With words your mouth shes kissing.
E7*            Amaj7         Dmaj7 Bm
And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child, 
Dmaj7*
Your back is straight;
Dmaj7*   E7*                      Riff
Dont let hurt  curve it that way."
E7*
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

Dmaj7 Bm Aadd9 A x2 

             E7*                       Dmaj7 Bm
But I said, "Mama, please take me home;
             Amaj7         Dmaj7 Bm
Cause I cant stand being alone
          E7                          Dmaj7 Bm      
Cause the pain is shooting down my spine again." 
       Dmaj7*                   E7*                     Riff            
Said, "Daddys feeling sick; oh, I think hes gonna quit."
E7*
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

Dmaj7 Bm Aadd9 A x2


Dmaj7 Bm
Sweetness, 
Bm                   Aadd9 A
On the mouth of your car - ess.
Dmaj7 Bm
Twilight
Bm                     Aadd9 A
Past the stars of that open night.
