SONG: Silence
ARTIST: The Tea Party
ALBUM: The Edges of Twilight
TABBED BY: Krist Smith (lmsmith@calvin.stemnet.nf.ca)
Open C tuning (again):
e tuned down to d
B tuned up to C
G left the same
D tuned down to C
A tuned down to G
E tuned down to C
There are a lot of instruments in on this, so I'm VERY likely wrong. This
is just MY interpretation. The timing is probably wrong (I'm not that good).
It's just four dashes (-) for every quarter note. This is just a guess, but
I think it's in 4/4 timing (please correct me).

Heaven help me I feel I'm fading I should rest here for a while

In the dreamtime I'm awakened as my senses sieze the night
Heaven help me I'm foresaken I should rest here for a while
BRIDGE:
(For the beginning, just improvise by playing assorted notes on the B (C)
string and the two lower ones open [like the verse], but remember to keep
them in scale-just fool around with it).

Here's something I've been working at for a little while now.
Song: SILENCE
Artist: THE TEA PARTY
Tabbed by: KRIST SMITH
-----------------------
This song uses another cool tuning (I think it's something like open Gsus2/D
or something):
e tuned down to d
B tuned down to A
G left the same
D left the same
A tuned down to G
E tuned down to D
There are a lot of instruments in on this, so I'm VERY likely wrong. This

Well, that's my interpretation.
Corrections/lyrics are requested. Anyone want to take the time to type
out the lyrics of the rest of the songs from the CD liner? (I don't have it)

SILENCE by THE TEA PARTY
Here are the lyrics (please append to SILENCE.TAB by Krist Smith) :
Silent spirit walks before me
With her beauty and with her eyes
Heaven help me
I feel I'm fading
I should be rest here
For a while
In the dreamtime I'm awakened
As my senses seize the night
Heaven help me
I'm forsaken
I should rest here
For a while
And lie in the bed you've made ophelia
Dry are the lips that lost their taste of love
Drown in the waters that would give you life
Cry as this lamentation thrusts its knife
In silence
In silence
SILENCE
