COMMENT:------------------------------------
This song is what brought me to this fantastic site! I had been searching
for weeks for a tab on this song, and finally one of my searches led me
here, and I found the version posted here by Raymond Graham. I grabbed my
guitar, and sat down in front of my cd player, and tried to play along - but
it just did not sound quite right in a lot of Raymond's transcription.
So, this gave me the push I needed to get off my lazy butt, and do a little
figgerin' out myself.
So- - -
This is a revision to the file posted by Raymond Graham - Raymond did all
the hard work, typing this all out in the first place - I just changed his
chords to my version. This is my first attempt at posting a song, so bear
with me!
---------------------------------------------
It opens with a slow strum down the Em chord -
omitting the high E string
Please note: Occasionally, the high G note [3rd fret, first string] is added
to the Am chords as they pick around the chords - you can hear them clearly
if you listen close. I didn't include any fingerpicking tablature, I think
it's better, anyway, rather than to play a certain ''set'' way, to just pick
out notes around the chords according to how you feel the song!
[Verse 1]
Em Am
So you say your loves about to end
C
You say you can't take no more, she's out the door
C C/B Am7 G
And you're looking for a friend.
Em Am
Who am I to tell you why?
C
But I'm just curious, were you furious
C C/B Am7
Or did you swallow your pride,
D
And look her in the eye and
[Chorus 1:]

Tell her that you love her
G
Tell her that you need her
Bm7/F#

C C/B Am7 G
So open up and tell her that you love her
[Verse 2]
D-Em Am
Brother I've been right where you are now
C
And my heart was broke, cause I never spoke
C C/B Am7 G
Those healing words out loud.
Em Am
But I learned my lesson well,
C
Now every night, before I close my eyes
C C/B Am7 D
I look at my woman and I ask myself, did you
[Chorus II:]

Tell her that you love her
G

[Play a slow ending strum on F#m]
Ending riff notes:
e|-------------------------------------------
b|-------12--10\9-5--7/9-7-------------------
g|-------------------------------------------
d|-------------------------------------------
a|-------------------------------------------
e|-------------------------------------------
Altho its a lot of moving on the neck, I prefer playing it all on the B
string - I just like the sound better that way. Since I am not familiar
with proper tablature notation, let me explain what I mean:
\= slide down
/= slide up
Of course, since these notes aren't played on the guitar at all, you just
play them how you feel 'em! Illustrated above is how I "feel" 'em.
