is approximately the same as the usual 16 strums or so– i.e. A A).

Chorus: 04:24 – 05:29.
=======
- No palm-mutes, more open notes strumming and stronger playing.
- Play it twice. So, after the “...my love...†part, don’t hang the C
first time around.
-When the chorus is repeated, you can even hear the open e-string being strummed, but I
to not play it.
L: Did somebody take your tongue?
L: In worries of the words that you couldn't say (that you wouldn’t
save) them from.
L: But I don't wanna sleep without...
L: So I bid to you goodnight.
L: Tonight sleep tight, my love.
(Repeat)
End with *F.

- If you’ve noticed, there are some changes in the lyrics as well.
- There are certain parts here that I won’t be writing the chord strumming
just the chords itself. It is understood in this tab that the chords I write are triads, what
nowadays commonly mistake as “POWER CHORDS†(ex. A – 577XXX).
- If there is a “P†under a given note/chord, it means it’s
“L†means lyrics.
- FYI, in the C (X355XX) - open string D & A (X00XXX) – C transition, you may
the open notes to an A (577XXX). The latter one sounds lighter though...
