This is the first song I've tabbed for OLGA so please, bear with me. Any
 comments, questions or corrections would greatly be appreciated. So E-M
ail me if you want to!
 
 
 
*****the tone of the instrument which comes in after the intro is so wei
rd-and cool! I can't tell if it's a guitar or an organ.(it said in the l
iner notes that a guy played organ for one song) In any case I arranged 
it for guitar.*******
 
 
*/*/*/*  NOTE */*/*/*	When **** is next to a chord it means 
				that there are 4 muted 16th note slashes
				using the G-chord Starting on the 4th beat.
				Example:	1	2	3	4 e a u
									/ / / /
 
INTRO
 
 
Em		B		C		G
 
 
Guitar 2 (or organ) fades-in on last beat of intro
 
 
riff 1
 
E----------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------
G-9---11-12-8---11-8-9----------------------------------9--
D--------------------------10-12-----9-10------------------
A---------------------------------10-----------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------
 
 
Verse
 
	Em	   B		     C		  G
 	  In my silence I would love to forget
 
	Em	     B		    C		   G
	  But restitution hasn't come quite yet
 
		   D		
	And with one accord I keep moving forth
 
	  Em				 C5
	I stretch my heart to heal some more
 
 
Chorus
 
	G		          Em	      C5
	 It used to be all I wanted to learn
 
					G  ****
	 Was wisdom trust and truth
 
	G			       Em	     C5
	 But now all I really want to learn
 
				     G
	 Is forgiveness for you
 
 
then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as ri
ff 1
 
 
 
riff 2
				    ( pitiful attempt at repeat sign )
  play what's in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box

Verse
 
Em		B		     C	 G
  As my seasons change I've now grown to know
 
Em		B			     C		G
  When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
 
	  D
  So I wash away stains of yesterday
 
	  Em			    C5
  Then tempt my heart with love's display
 
 
 
(Play Chorus again)
 
 
 
 
Guitar interlude (couldn't quite call this a solo!)
It sounds approximately right to me			
 
								(again, there's that 
								famous repeat sign)

B---13-13----12-12----10-10-8-8-8-8----13-13----12-12----10-10------.-l

D----------------------------------------------------------------12-.-l
A---------------------------------------------------------------------l
E---------------------------------------------------------------------l
					*listen for the muted 
					slashes between each chord*
 
 
DRUM BEAT	(4 Bars)
 
 
...I think so?
 
 
		Finger-pick all this part	  	 (Oh,come on! You must 								         g
et the idea by now!)
E------7--------------------7-------------------7---------------3------l
B------8--------------------8-------------------8---------------3--.---l
G---------------------------------------------------------------4------l
D---------------------------------------------------------------5--.---l
A--------------------------------------3------------------------5------l
E---3----------------3------------------------------------------3------l
						
									  *play last chord 									   very gently*
 
Chorus w/acoustic guitar	(no break with muting)
 
 
 
Rest of band kicks-in still with chorus (break with muting)
 
 
Play chorus chords (no vocals or break w/ muting) 3 times
 
 
 
 
Well, I did as good as I could...
 
This truly is a great song. But I was disappointed that, like the other 
songs on "Disciplined Breakdown", there are no real solos. Ross Childres
s is an extremely talented guitarist, Why don't they let him solo? It wo
uld make the great tunes even better.  
 
 
P.S -	Comments, Questions, improvements; welcome and appreciated!
