Then comes [verse'3]
Guitar1 plays basically the same thing as rhy fig 3 with only small differences that i
want to have to tab. Besides when I play it live or at home i never play it exactly as
is in the tab. Just jam with it and make it up as you go along. A good guitarist is a
guitarist who can improvise!
[Verse'3] Rhy fig 3.**=(I think bass plays an 'F' note on the Dmadd9 chords as in verse'2
as well)
(or D)
(Dsus2) (Dmadd9) (G/B)
My friends are so distressed.
(Cadd9) (Dsus2) (Dmadd9) (G/B)
They're standing on the brink of emptiness.
(Cadd9) (Dsus2) (Dmadd9) (G/B)
No words I know what to express,
(Cadd9)
this emptiness.__

My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide...'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will
Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
Imagine me, taught by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said was something beautiful
To give your love no matter what
Is what she said
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself

My friends are so depressed

Confide 'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will you know I will
Ex girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad
Chorus:
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness

Imagine me tauhgt by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give your love

These are all sixteenth notes....
....This about all you need but if you
have trouble with the tab you know where
to reach me.
On the solo you bend 13th fret a full step--
--which sounds like 15th fret of course.
And it sounds better if you slide directly to
the next note without hitting it.
