e-0 e-0(3) I do not play the E-string, neither does Rich I think,
but its (optional).
INTRO- Em G(+)
Start by just playing the E & A strings, and gradually add
more strings till a full strum is accomplished.
VERSE
Em G(+)
See the water break my hand
Em G(+)
No-one knows my name
Em G(+) Em G(+)
I'm not in demand.
Em G(+)
Signs are right, the sighs are here
Em G(+)
Who needs Virtual World
Em G(+)
When I can see it now
Em G(+) Em G(+) Strum fff 4 times, then f for a return to the verse
I can see it now, oh now, oh now, now
Em G(+)
No-one goes, no-one cares
Em G(+)
No-one seen it anywhere.
CHORUS
A Am
She's breathing into lone dead stars
A
Have you ever seen it
Am
I ain't seen nothing at all
Run into verse with the same Em G(+) intro.
Same chords for the rest of the Verses/Chorus
Come see the water break my fall
No-one knows no-one comes
Have you ever seen the book?
The one on my help
The one entitled self death, self death
How to earn a million pounds
I can see it now, oh the hearse
She's breathing down a hole in my head
In the dirty half-light
Where time means nothing at all
I'm calling out to someone
Anyone who'll have me
Does anybody need me?
Does anyone know how to cry?
What happens when i go?
What happens when it snows?
I bet you could if you want'd to end
CHORDS FOR THE CHORUS:
A Am

SOLO
The solo is split into 3 parts (by me for simplicity)
PART 1
e---------------------------------------------------------------
a---------------------12-10-10/7----------------------12-10-10/7
d-------------11-11-9-------------------------11-11-9-----------
g--7-h9-9-9-9--------------------7-h9-9-9---9-------------------
b-----------------------------------------8---------------------
e---------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2
e------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a------------------------------------------------------------------------------
d------------------------------------------------------------------------------
g--9-6-6 (repeated 5 times)-12-9-9 (5 times)-9-6-6 (5 times)-12-9-9 (5 times)--
b-----------------------------------------------------------------------------8
e------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THEN REPEAT PART 1, THEN PART 3.
PART 3 (to finish)
e------------------------
a------------------------
d------------------------
g--9/----------9/14-14-12 repeat 3 times
b-----14-14-12-----------
e------------------------
You can then end the song by a few PART 1s, or go through the whole solo
again. I like it so much i go over the solo a few times.
The notation "/" is just a slide.
