Newton Faulkner - If This Is It tab
Tabbed by Simon Campling
Tuning (low to high): cGCGGC
Key
T slap the side of the guitar body with your left hand
H harmonic played with left hang over the fret marker numbered (-)
RH harmonics played like he appears to in the music video but doesn't bother with on solo
acoustic performances; you need to hold the chord with the left hand and HIT the
fret marker with
your right hand on the given (-) fret. You usually have to hit it hard and be
very accurate, and if
your guitar isn't that great then you still might not hear it? I try to hit the
fret with my middle finger.
B Hit the body of the guitar with the ball of your right hand to create a bass percussion sound.
The numbers (1 + 2 + etc) indicate the counting in the bar.
VERSE 1 + CHORUS 1
On the record and the live acoustic versions he isn't really playing anything here. You could just
play through the VERSE 2 sections for VERSE 1 and CHORUS 1. Live, he is playing a keyboard with
his feet and on the record he seems to be doing simple percussion on the guitar:

[1] [+] [2]T [+] [3] [+]T [4] [+]T [1] [+] [2]T [+]H [3] [+]H [4] [+]
When playing this chord put your hand over the top of the guitar neck rather than under. It leaves
the strings open for harmonics later on.

VERSE 1
No one move,
No one speak,
Please don't say that it's just me, it's not just me.
And even though I wont forget,
(Just) don't want this to end just yet, not just yet.
CHORUS 1
But if I'd one chance to freeze time
And stand still and soak in everything,
I'd choose right now.
If I had one night where sunshine could break through and show you everything,
I'd choose right now,
VERSE 2
If this is it,
all we have,
I know I've done all I can, If this is it.
And we can't stop,
And start again,
We can't fast forward to the end,
This is it.
CHORUS 2
But if I had one chance to freeze time
And stand still and soak in everything,
I'd choose right now.
If I had one night where sunshine could break through and show you everything,
I'd choose right now,
BRIDGE
Before the fears that I once had start coming back...
And I can take the slings and stones and fire
Coz I know you'll make it all worthwhile
And every time I fall coz I'm up high
And on the ground you drag me up again and again
Oh please come back again,
Oh please come back again.
VERSE 3
And I'm so scared I might forget,
Just don't want this to end just yet,
Not just yet.
CHORUS
But if I had one chance to freeze time
And stand still and soak in everything,
I'd choose right now.
If I had one night where sunshine could break through and show you everything,
I'd choose right now,
Before the fears that I once had start coming back... again.

"again."
Quiet playing, palm mute - this is how he ends it live, for the recorded version go back to the
percussion pattern at the beginning of the song.

VERSE 1
No one move,
No one speak,
Please don't say that it's just me, it's not just me.
And even though I wont forget,
(Just) don't want this to end just yet, not just yet.
CHORUS 1
But if I'd one chance to freeze time
And stand still and soak in everything,
I'd choose right now.
If I had one night where sunshine could break through and show you everything,
I'd choose right now,
VERSE 2
If this is it,
all we have,
I know I've done all I can, If this is it.
And we can't stop,
And start again,
We can't fast forward to the end,
This is it.
CHORUS 2
But if I had one chance to freeze time
And stand still and soak in everything,
I'd choose right now.
If I had one night where sunshine could break through and show you everything,
I'd choose right now,
BRIDGE
Before the fears that I once had start coming back...
And I can take the slings and stones and fire
Coz I know you'll make it all worthwhile
And every time I fall coz I'm up high
And on the ground you drag me up again and again
Oh please come back again,
Oh please come back again.
VERSE 3
And I'm so scared I might forget,
Just don't want this to end just yet,
Not just yet.
CHORUS
But if I had one chance to freeze time
And stand still and soak in everything,
I'd choose right now.
If I had one night where sunshine could break through and show you everything,
I'd choose right now,
Before the fears that I once had start coming back... again.
