This is a really cool song, with a wicked bass line. If you haven't

already bought _Splendor Solis_ then buy it! Wow, what a CD.

"Save Me" by The Tea Party

(most of the guitar is played with a bow - cool eh?)

Key: Emin

Time sig: fast 4/4

You can play this song in standard tuning, but I think it is played in

open D (low to high: DADF#AD) on the CD - I'll tab both ways as much

as I can. It sounds nicer in open D (especially on the bridge part)

'cause you get the open strings adding harmonics.

(This might be totally wrong, but I think the bass is using dropped-D tuning

I don't own a bass - this sounds right (albeit too high) on my guitar)

Play intro, enter drums, adlib guitar for 8 bars, then enter bass

Adlib guitar for 8 more bars then start:

(Verse)

I must grieve you tonight, my love

Remain so faithfully

I must go off to war, my dear

The kings await me

I will go so far away

I will always love you, but you knew (yeah)

(Bridge)

(Verse)

I regret to tell you

Your man has died tonight

He was a brave man

He fought a brave fight

He was killed by the other side

He was killed by the other man's knives

(Chorus)

She said save me

Save me

(Verse)

Why must you love this man

He is your brother

This is easy to understand

My son, there is no other

I cannot pretend

To love this man like my father

I can not pretend

Mother there is no other

(Chorus)

She said "Save me"

Save me

(Bridge twice) (Bridge is slightly different last time)

(Solo)

(Guitar is same pitch as vocals)

Save me

Save me

(Bridge 2) (don't look for it, I haven't tabbed it :)

When there is no truth

Let's end this lie tonight

This is easy to understand

Without your best fight

But I see a new sun

Rising in the east

But I see a new sun

Rising in the east

(Chorus)

She said "Save me"

Save me

Save me

Save YOU
