A beautiful song off a beautiful, yet woefully underrated album. Surprisingly simple to play- I am not going to tab out the whole song, but here is the basic
verse riff. I'm sure we can all work out the tiny run between Dm and F in the chorus (it's on the A string: 5-7-8), and that is about it!
Basic verse pattern (feel free to improvise, add and remove notes etc): FDm e|--------------------------------||---------------------------| B|-------------------------------o||o-----6-----6-----6----6--o| G|-----10------10-----10-----10---||---------------------------| ETC..... D|---10------10-----10-----10-----||-----7-----7-----7----7----| A|-8--------------8--------------o||o--5-----------5----------o| E|--------8--------------8--------||---------5----------5------|
F When my eyes survey the tree line Dm I'll recall a voice C (hold) F And how I took great care with words
Verse ----- F All that was a picture was a poem was a poem Dm Words were trees of brown of gold FDm You were a place I had come to know
Chorus ------ CDmF If the dark falls early C Would you come in the night DmF Would you come with the morning CDmFC Come by fire or come by storm
Verse 2 ------- F When my days turn to gold turn to gold Dm And pull to the sky, to the sky F I'll recall the time I was more alive Dm When I lose myself to words F Did I die in your arms Dm Or did I die alone?
Chorus ------ When the dark fell on me Did you come in the night Did you come with the morning Come by fire or come by storm
(Instrumental: same as verse, play with hammer-ons etc, end on F)
