NB : This song is actually played with 2 guitars, this transcription is just for one guitar, however it's rather easy to transform it into the 2-guitar version. Let one guitar play the chords on the higher strings (G/B/e) throughout the song and the other should play the tab below. (omitting some of the strokes on the higher strings, just listen to CD PART A : INTRO + VERSES E D D C E e -------------0--|--------------|------------------|-----0-----|---0--- B -------------0--|------------3-|------------3-----|-----1-0-0-|---0--- G -------------1--|------------2-|------------2--0-0|-----0-0-0-|---1--- D ------2--2-2----|------2-0-0-0-|------2-0-0-0--0-0|-2-2-------|-2----- A --0-2----2-2----|--0-2---0-0---|--0-2---0-0-------|-3-3-------|-2----- E -4--------------|-4------------|-4----------------|-----------|-0----- If I had to loose a mile, if I had to touch feelings I would loose my soul, the way I do ....
