By Little River Band
Tabbed by Nick C.
I didn't see a tab of this that I liked, so here's my version.
This is my first time tabbing something this large, but any feedback is good feedback.
I tried to get the timing of the lyrics as close as possible,
but sometimes it wasn't possible,
so listen to the song for all the right timings.
Standard Tuning
______________________________________________________________________
[Intro]
Acoustic guitar starts with this:
Guitar then strums a D and the piano plays:
e|-10-9p7-5-
[Verse 1]
[A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G] [A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G]
Look
[A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G] [A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G]
around you. Look up here
[A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G] [A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G]
Take time to make time, make time to be there. Look
[A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G] [A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G]
around, be a part.
[A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G] [A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/G]
feel for the winter, but dont have a cold heart.
[Refrain]
This guitar is a clean electric with heavy reverb.
And I love you best. You're not like the rest.
You're there when I need you you're there when I need
I'm gonna need you.
[Verse 2]
Electric guitar fingerpicks what the acoustic guitar did in verse 1.
It's hard to hear what it does on the D and E chords,
but I just improvise a fingerpicking pattern. Acoustic guitar strums the chords.
A [A]long time[A/G] ago I[A/F#] had a[A/G] lady to [A]love[A/G][A/F#][A/G]
[D] She made me think of things I never thou[A]ght [A/G]of[A/F#][A/G]
[E] Now she's gone and [D]I'm on my own
A [A]love [A/G]song has[A/F#] come into my[A/G] mind
A [A]love [A/G]song, it was[A/F#] there all the[A/G] time[A][A/G][A/F#][A/E]
[Chorus]
(All instruments just play the chords)
So [D]lady, let me take a look at you [A]now
You're [D]there on the dance floor, making me want you some[A]how
Oh [D]lady, I think it's only fair I should [A]sa[A/G]y to[A/F#] you[A/E]
E D A (to solo)
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do
[Solo]
Piano and acoustic guitar play Verse 2
Moderately distorted electric guitar plays:
[Verse 3]
No guitar here, so you can do whatever you want, but these are the chords:
Look a[A7]round,[A7/G] [A7/F#][A7/G]
come to [A7]me[A7/G][A7/F#][A7/G]
[A7]I have no [A7/G]answers, but[A7/F#] know where I[A7/G] wanna be[A7][A7/G][A7/F#][A7/G]
I look a[A7]round,[A7/G] [A7/F#][A7/G]
play a p[A7]art[A7/G][A7/F#][A7/G]
I was [A7]born in the[A7/G] winter and[A7/F#] cooled by a[A7/G] warm heart[A7][A7/G][A7/F#][A7/E]
Then play the Refrain and Chorus one more time, but finish the chorus with this:
E D A (to riff)
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you cause maybe I do
[Riff]
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, cause lady I do
(And sorry, but I didn't take time to learn the outro. I usually just improvise it.)
