This is the first song I've tabbed for OLGA so please, bear with me. Any comments, questions or corrections would greatly be appreciated. So E-Mail me if you want to!


the tone of the instrument which comes in after the intro is so weird-and cool! I can't tell if it's a guitar or an organ.(it said in the liner notes that a guy played organ for one song) In any case I arranged it for guitar.

/// NOTE /// When is next to a chord it means
that there are 4 muted 16th note slashes
using the G-chord Starting on the 4th beat.
Example: 1 2 3 4 e a u

INTRO

[Em] [B] [C] [G]

Guitar 2 (or organ) fades-in on last beat of intro

riff 1



E----------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------
G-9---11-12-8---11-8-9----------------------------------9--
D--------------------------10-12-----9-10------------------
A---------------------------------10-----------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------


Verse

[Em] In my sil[B]ence I would love [C]to forget[G]

[Em] But restitu[B]tion hasn't com[C]e quite yet[G]

And with on[D]e accord I keep moving forth

I [Em]stretch my heart to heal some m[C5]ore

Chorus

[G] It used to be all I wante[Em]d to learn[C5]

G
Was wisdom trust and truth

[G] But now all I really want to l[Em]earn[C5]

Is forgiveness for you[G]

then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as riff 1


riff 2
( pitiful attempt at repeat sign )
play what's in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box



E--------------------------------------------------l-------
B----------------------------------------------.---l-------
G-----9---11-12-8-----11-8-9--------------12-------l---9---
D------------------------------10-12-----------.---l-------
A-----------------------------------------10-------l-------
E--------------------------------------------------l-------


(Not sure about octave
before repeat)

Verse

[Em] As my seasons [B]change I've now grown[C] to [G]know

[Em] When one's hea[B]rt creates, one's soul doesn'[C]t owe[G]

So I was[D]h away stains of yesterday

Then tem[Em]pt my heart with love's di[C5]splay

(Play Chorus again)


Guitar interlude (couldn't quite call this a solo!)
It sounds approximately right to me

(again, there's that
famous repeat sign)


E---------------------------------------------------------------------l
B---13-13----12-12----10-10-8-8-8-8----13-13----12-12----10-10------.-l
G---12-12----12-12----12-12-9-9-9-9----12-12----12-12----12-12---12---l
D----------------------------------------------------------------12-.-l
A---------------------------------------------------------------------l
E---------------------------------------------------------------------l

listen for the muted
slashes between each chord

DRUM BEAT (4 Bars)

...I think so?

Finger-pick all this part (Oh,come on! You must get the idea by now!)


E------7--------------------7-------------------7---------------3------l
B------8--------------------8-------------------8---------------3--.---l
G---------------------------------------------------------------4------l
D---------------------------------------------------------------5--.---l
A--------------------------------------3------------------------5------l
E---3----------------3------------------------------------------3------l

play last chord very gently

Chorus w/acoustic guitar (no break with muting)


Rest of band kicks-in still with chorus (break with muting)

Play chorus chords (no vocals or break w/ muting) 3 times


Well, I did as good as I could...

This truly is a great song. But I was disappointed that, like the other songs on "Disciplined Breakdown", there are no real solos. Ross Childress is an extremely talented guitarist, Why don't they let him solo? It would make the great tunes even better.

P.S - Comments, Questions, improvements; welcome and appreciated!
