Etheridge Melissa - You & I Know guitar tab
#
Tabbed from the 16 Unrecorded & Unreleased bootleg (Club Sappho, May 26
1985), there are also bigger (arranged) versions on Being Sensitive,
Melissa Madness & Practice Tapes.
4/4 time, 138 beats per minute.
This is pretty much E E D A throughout (except the bridge). There's one
strumming pattern for the intro, another for the verse and a third for
the chorus.....

They don't know what place we go lover
The blues are green nothing in between lover
And when the darkness falls through the fine glass walls lover
Oh it makes the sound of the outward bound lover

They ask why do we live love die, do we
h is a hammer-on
p is a pull off
m is mute the strings immediately after you have strummed them to give a
percussive sound
x is mute the strings at the neck *as* you strum them
n.c. is no chord
