Verse:
When I step into the light
My arms are open wide
When I step into the light
My eyes searching wildly
Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world with you legs hanging free
Would you not like to be ok, ok, ok?
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you taking a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
I'm blown away

Verse:
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves
Wondering if we had spent out living days well
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we might have been
Would you not like to be
I can't believe that you would not like to be
Ok, ok, ok
Ok, ok, ok

(You might want to listen to the song before you play it)
When were walking by the water
Splish splash me and you taking a bath
When were walking by the water
Come to my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul
Then Im blown away
When were walking by the water
Splish splash me and you taking a bath

version 3
First, Both into/verse guitar parts.
As you know, Tim plays a lot of what Dave plays, so this is the riff they
play together in parts of the song.
Tuning: Dave : Standard (EADGBe)
Tim : Drop D (DADGBe)
e|--2-2-2--------------------|
B|--3-3-3--------------------|
G|--2-2-2------------2-------|
D|--0-0-0-----00-2-4---4-----|
A|--------4-2-22-------------|
E|------------xx---------3---|
^This part might actually just be muted.
The last note on the 3rd fret is on the 5th fret for Tim if he plays it this way.
Dave plays x024xx as you know,
but Tim starts playing two other things:
First a variation of the above;
e|--2-2-2--------------------|
B|--3-3-3--------------------|
G|--2-2-2--------------------|
D|--0-0-0-----00-------------|
A|--------4-2-22-------0-----|
D|------------xx-0-2-4---4-5-|
When he mixes these two together, there is almost no time in between, so be fast.
(Thumb on low D or just mute it)
e|---------------------------------|
B|--33-5--777-5-3-xx---------------|
G|--44-6--777-6-4-xx------2--------|
D|--55-7--xxx-x-x-xx--2-4---4------|
A|--55-7--555-4-2-xx---------------|
D|--55-7-----------------------5---|
^This is where Dave plays the starting D chord.
I think partway through all that, Dave plays an Em and an A in between some verses.
The next part:
Dave plays;
e|--2-2-2--------------0-0-0------------------|
B|--3-3-3--------------1-1-1------------------|
G|--2-2-2-----2--------2-2-2--0h2p0-0---------|
D|--0-0-0-0-4---4p2p0--2-2-2----------4-2-4---|
A|---------------------0-0-0------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|
Tim plays;
e|--2-2-2------5-------0-0-0--3h5p3-2-0-2-----|
B|--3-3-3-333/7-7p5\3--1-1-1------------------|
G|--2-2-2--------------2-2-2------------------|
D|--0-0-0--------------2-2-2------------------|
A|---------------------0-0-0------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------|
at one point he changes it to;
e|--2-2-2--------------0-0-0------------------|
B|--3-3-3--------------1-1-1------------------|
G|--2-2-2--------------2-2-2------------------|
D|--0-0-0--------------2-2-2------------------|
A|-------------0-------0-0-0--3h5p3-2-0-2-----|
D|--------000/4-4p2p0-------------------------|
Dave starts playing:
e|--------------0-00-000--2-22-222--------------------|
B|--------------1-11-111--3-33-333--------------------|
G|--5/7-77-5-7--2-22-222--4-44-444--4/5-555\4-4-4/5-5-| Repeats real quick
D|--x-x-xx-x-x--2-22-222--4-44-444--x-x-xxx-x-x-x-x-x-| right here
A|--3/5-55-3-5--0-00-000--2-22-222--2/3-333\2-2-2/3-3-|
E|----------------------------------------------------|
During that, Tim plays:
e|--14-14-14-14-14-14-14-15-14-12----------------12-14--14--14--14--14--14---|
B|--------------------------------15-13-12-13-15------15--15--15--15--15--15-|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
This part is really fast so I'm not sure but it sounds like;
e|-------12-14-----12-14-----12-14-----12-14---|
B|--12-15-----12-15-----12-15-----12-15--------|Repeat those notes a bit
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
Which goes into this, which is really fast so I could be wrong;
e|--15-15-15-15-14-12---12h14p12---------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------15--------15-13-12--15-12------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------14-----14-11--------11-12-14-12------|
D|--------------------------------------------------14-12-14-----------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Into a part I like:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--12-12-12/15-15-15-15\12-12-12-12\10-10-10-10\7-7-7-7\5-5-5-5\3-3-3-3~----|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------14~--|
B|--3-3-3/15-15-15-15\12-12-12-12\10-10-10-10\7-7-7-7\5-5-5-5\3-3-3-3~-------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
They then play parts I've already tabbed out until Tim plays his guitar like a violin.
(He does this by playing the note with the volume down, and bringing up the volume
as the note is resonating on the guitar)
During which Dave plays:
e|------------------|-|------------------|
B|------------------|-|------------------|
G|--11--9--7--4/6---|-|--12--7--6--2/4---|
D|--0---0--0--0-0---|-|--0---0--0--0-0---|
A|--x---x--x--x-x---|-|--x---x--x--x-x---|
E|--10--9--7--3/5---|-|--12--7--5--2/3---|
Those two sets basically till the end of Tim's very long solo.
Tim's solo:
e|--9~-----------------------------------------15~15~15~-14~14~14~-12~12~12~-|
B|--10~-12~-8~-10~--7~7~7~\5~5~5~\3~3~3~-------12~12~12~-12~12~12~-10~10~10~-|

Repeat that for a while;

B|-----------------------10/15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15--|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
He repeats that again for a while...

B|--14h15-14h15-14h15-14h15-14h15--|-|-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-|
G|---------------------------------|-|----------------------|
D|---------------------------------|-|----------------------|
A|---------------------------------|-|----------------------|
D|---------------------------------|-|----------------------|
He goes back to just the high 15 again for a while and then plays
e|--15-15-15-15-14-14-14-14-17-17-17-17-15-15-15-15-14-14-14-14-19-19-19-19--|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
He goes back to the violin stuff again,

B|--------------------------3~~~-----------| x2
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|

This part sounds hard because of the effects pedal but it's actually simple;

G|------------------------4-2---------4/6~---|

And then back to verse!!
Tim starts to play the in between chord notes twice at a time
when they were normally played just once,
and then it ends on Em and A, which Dave plays, Tim is silent.
When were walking by the water
Splish splash me and you taking a bath
When were walking by the water
Come to my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul
Then Im blown away

Anything else you hear is the effect of cool pedals and loops that he is using which I
really figure out. If you have a loop here is what Dave is playing so you can loop that
go nuts with all that^^^
