Tea Party

Tea Party - Heaven Coming Down guitar tab

T1: Chris Marks, vvhat_is@hotmail.com, The Tea Party, Heaven Coming

Down, I think August 99

S2: There are several versions of tab for this song floating around,

but I've played them all and they all SUCK. I spent two hours with

WINAMP listening to the song and tabbing this version out, and it

sounds perfect.

I know there's an easier way to play it, but this is how THEY play it

(more or less)

The easy way is at the bottom.

I tried to line the lyrics up as closely as I could, but it's not quite

accurate.

(no guitar for verse 1)

With nothing to lose

you'd waste away,

obscured in exile.

They've witnessed the times

you've gone astray,

whose fault? Now you're thinking...

There's nothing to prove...

A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

(no guitar for verse 2)

So strange are the ways

they all have changed,

still life it stays the same.

A break from the past

could make it last, oh,

maybe just a little longer.

There's nothing to prove...

A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

Full lyrics (what's in the song, not what's at the www.teaparty.com

website)

Verse 1:

With nothing to lose

you'd waste away,

obscured in exile.

They've witnessed the times

you've gone astray,

whose fault? Now you're thinking...

There's nothing to prove

A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

Chorus 1:

And it feels now,

just like heaven's coming down

Verse 2:

So strange are the ways

they all have changed,

still life it stays the same.

A break from the past

could make it last, oh,

maybe just a little longer.

There's nothing to prove...

A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

Chorus 2:

And it feels now,

just like heaven's coming down

Your soul shakes free

as its conscience hits the ground

Bridge:

You surrender

Love under will

Rest assured baby,

You're adored

Chorus 3:

And it feels now,

just like heaven's coming down.

Your soul shakes free,

as its conscience hits the ground.

these signs, this fate,

takes the path you didn't choose.

Stay strong, keep faith,

there's a change that's coming through.

Outro:

hold on my love

hold on...
