I fingerpick it [2 beats per pattern]. There are a couple of places where a

chord only gets 1 beat - I usually just squeeze the chord [pluck the 4

strings I would've picked simultaneously].

Verse:

| A E/G# |F#m A| D A | E |

Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven

| A E/G# |F#m A| D A | E |

Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven

Chorus:

| F#m | C#/E# | Em | F# |

I must be strong and carry on

| Bm |E7sus E7 | A E/G# |

Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

| F#m A | D E7sus E7| A |

Bridge:

| C G/B | Am D | G D | Em D G |

Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees

| C G/B | Am D | G D | E |

Time can break your heart Have you beggin please beggin please

There's more lyrics - but this'll give you the basic chord structure.

The |'s are my attempt at giving a mild sense of rhythym - there's

4 beats between |'s. G/B means a G chord with a B in the bass.

I finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape

with the thumb wrapped around to the 6th string. Like this:

C#/E# The E/G# is the same thing played at the

--X-X------ 4th fret

T | | 1 | 2

-----------

| | | | 3 |

Eric's version is of course full of little runs and such! I hope this

helps get you started!!!!!
