OK, to play this tab you have to use a very strange tuning. You tune
your low E and A strings up one note (half step). Tune E up to F and
A up to A# (Bb). Go easy when you do this, you don't wanna break your
strings. But with this tuning this song is real easy to play.
This is a REALLY cool song!! I tabbed the whole thing, then the
lyrics are below it all. I also included the timing, this song is in
3/4 time, so the numbers below the tab read 1 2 3 1 2 3 to help you
keep the time. There's also a piano playing in this song, I
incorporated some of the piano parts into the guitar tab to make it
sound better if you're just playing with guitar and no piano.
The numbers like (01:41) after the verse names are the seconds on the
CD time. So (01:41) is 1 min and 40 sec into the song. I included
these times so if you lose your place or are getting confused you can
see where you are. The A/C# chord is pretty uncomfortable, I use my
pinky for the A string, the, eh, long finger for the G string, ring
finger for B string and index finger for E string. Anyway, try
learning this song. Mail me if you like it, I personally think it's
one of the greatest songs ever!!

VERSE 1: (00:30)
--------
Never thought you'd make me perspire
Never thought I'd do you the same
Never thought I'd fill with desire
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed
Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away
So before I end my day, remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one
VERSE 2: (01:41)
--------
Never thought I'd have to retire
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could back fire
Close up the hole in my vain
Me and my valuable friend
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day, remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
VERSE 3: (03:16)
--------
Never thought I'd get any higher
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain
Me and you baby
Still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day, remember
OUTRO: (04:04)
------
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
My sweet prince
My sweet prince
