INTRO - Just Lindsey, here . . .
[Bmaj7] [F7/9/A] [A#maj7/11/A]
. .[Bmaj7] . enter[F7/9/A] Stevie[A#maj7/11/A]
May[Bmaj7]be we we[F7/9/A]re togeth[A#maj7/11/A]er in another life
May[Bmaj7]be we ar[F7/9/A]e togethe[A#maj7/11/A]r in a parallel universe
May[Bmaj7]be our p[F7/9/A]aths are [A#maj7/11/A]not supposed to cross twice
May[Bmaj7]be your [F7/9/A]arms are [A#maj7/11/A]not supposed to go around me
VERSE 1 - Enter John and Mick . . .
I c[Bmaj7]are abou[F7/9/A]t you now[A#maj7/11/A] and then
I w[Bmaj7]onder wh[F7/9/A]ere you a[A#maj7/11/A]re and how you feel
Som[Bmaj7]etimes I[F7/9/A] walk by [A#maj7/11/A]and I look up to your balcony just to . . .
Mak[Bmaj7]e sure t[F7/9/A]hat you w[A#maj7/11/A]ere real, just to . . .
Mak[Bmaj7]e sure t[F7/9/A]hat I can[A#maj7/11/A] still feel you
CHORUS 1
[Bmaj7] When I[C#m6add9add11] see you again, as[Bmaj7] I always do[C#m6add9add11]
[Bmaj7] It app[C#m6add9add11]ears to me that de[Bmaj7]stiny rules, [C#m6add9add11]and the . . .
[Bmaj7]Spirits are r[C#m6add9add11]uthless with the p[Bmaj7]aths they cho[C#m6add9add11]ose, it's not . . .
[Bmaj7]Being togethe[C#m6add9add11]r, it's just follo[Bmaj7]wing the rule[C#m6add9add11]s, no one's a fool
[Bmaj7] [A#maj7/11/A]
VERSE 2 - fundamentally the same, except for some subtle, flavorful variations courtesy
Lindsey . . .
Six[Bmaj7] weeks i[F7/9/A]n a forei[A#maj7/11/A]gn country, how time flew
I d[Bmaj7]idn't sp[F7/9/A]eak the l[A#maj7/11/A]anguage, but some how I knew
Tha[Bmaj7]t that w[F7/9/A]ould be t[A#maj7/11/A]he only time that we could be alone and foolish . . .
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/fleetwood_mac/destiny_rules_tab.html )
We [Bmaj7]said we'[F7/9/A]d never c[A#maj7/11/A]ome home
CHORUS 2 - once again, some subtle variations, but fundamentally identical to "CHORUS 1"
[Bmaj7] When I[C#m6add9add11] see you again, as[Bmaj7] I always do[C#m6add9add11]
[Bmaj7] It app[C#m6add9add11]ears to me that de[Bmaj7]stiny rules, [C#m6add9add11]and the . . .
[Bmaj7]Spirits are r[C#m6add9add11]uthless with the p[Bmaj7]aths they cho[C#m6add9add11]ose, it's not . . .
[Bmaj7]Being togethe[C#m6add9add11]r, it's just follo[Bmaj7]wing the rule[C#m6add9add11]s, no one's a fool
[Bmaj7] [A#maj7/11/A]
VERSE 3 - different from "VERSE 1" and "VERSE 2"
[A#maj7/11/A] I like the c[C#m6add9add11]oastal cities, I [Bmaj7]like the lights
[A#maj7/11/A] I like the w[C#m6add9add11]ay the cities ble[Bmaj7]nd into the ocean at night
[A#maj7/11/A] It's like li[C#m6add9add11]ving on a working[Bmaj7] river; the coastal lines are glittering . . .
[A#maj7/11/A] like a diamo[C#m6add9add11]nd snake, in a bl[Bmaj7]ack sky
CHORUS 3 - 'nuff said
[Bmaj7] When I[C#m6add9add11] see you again, as[Bmaj7] I always do[C#m6add9add11]
[Bmaj7] It app[C#m6add9add11]ears to me that de[Bmaj7]stiny rules, [C#m6add9add11]and the . . .

[Bmaj7]Being togethe[C#m6add9add11]r, it's just follo[Bmaj7]wing the rule[C#m6add9add11]s, no one's a fool
OUTRO/SOLO - probably not the best interpretation . . .
We're just following the rules . . .
No one's a fool . . .
. . . the remainder of the solo is basically Lindsey doing his own thing - let's just
ourselves to do the same as well, and save "Mr. Tab-Writer" the time of having to type out
improvised note!
NOTE: If some of this tablature seems unclear (i.e. the rhythm, the timing, the
the ending, etc.), just listen to the song - it should be pretty self-explanatory. If the
tab is too complicated, feel free to play along by strumming the basic chords.
