Midsummer Day by Tea Party
Midsummer Day
12-string acoustic.
If you are playing this song off Splendor Solis, the first verse
is a 6-string acoustic playing close to the bridge, and a 12-string for the rest...
This tab is written in open C tuning...
C G C G C D, cause it's way easier on your guitar... especially if u have a 12-string.

Repeat this as many times as necessary... If you have a half decent brain pan,
i'm sure you can figure it out:Simply count. 1...2...3...4...etc.
But then it gies like...

^^ This is from memory and i dont have a guitar on me, I'm just
trying to remember the frets, I may be off by one fret, but it sounds just
like the tape when played correctly. This is the first accoustic part before
he breaks in on electric.

Following on that great tab posting this morning on Midsummer's
day (WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL BE COMPLETED!!!), here's the lyrics
to this kick-ass tune....(BTW< so he sounds like the Lizard King, but so
what. If you liked Morrison's vocals, then that's what counts..)
Midsummer Day
When you've decided to hold on to all that you lost
When you've decided to hold on to all that you lost
All this is nothing if she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart
If you've decided to change what you thought was your way
This new way will take you to her and to midsummer day
All this is nothing if she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold the key to heart
And I'm cryin' in the nite
And I'm waiting for a call
Wont you help me thru tonite
Cos I'm waitin' for a call
And I'm cryin' in the nite
And she's thrown from my mind
And the sky is turning black
And I'm running out of time
You'll shed a last tear
If you miss what you thought was your way
This new way will take you to her and to midsummer day
All this is nothing if she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold the key to my heart
All you are is in you
All you are is in you in you in you Ohhhh.
