    Pretty much just four chords, F#m (244222), E (022100), Bm (x244322) and D
  • (xx0232). If I recall correctly there's a break that goes between an A and
    A(add9) (x02420) and back to A, but am not sure. Also not sure, but in the
    outro I think she's playing G and A.
  •  
    Across the[F#m] lines
    Who could [E]dare to go
  • [Bm]Under the bridge
    [D]Over the tracks
    [G]That separates whites from blacks[A] [A(add9)] [A]
  •  
    Choose sides
    Or run for your life
  • Tonight the riots behin
    On back streets of America
    They kill the dream of America
  •  
    Little black girl gets assaulted
    Ain't no reason why
  • Newspaper prints the story
    And racist tempers fly
    Next day it start a riot
  • Knives and guns are drawn
    Two black boys get killed
    One white boy goes blind
  •  
    Little black girl gets assaulted
    Don't no one know her name
  • Lots of people hurt and angry
    She's the one to blame

    Sorry[D]
  • [A7sus]Is all that [A7]you can't s[Em]ay
    Y[A7sus]ears gone by[A7] and st[D]ill
    [A7sus]Words don't c[A7]ome easil[Em]y
  • [G]Like so[A]rry [G]like so[A]rry
     
    Forgive me
  • Is all that you can't say
    Years gone by and still
    Words don't come easily
  • Like forgive me forgive me
     
    {c:chorus}
  • But you can say baby
    [Em]baby, can I [G]hold you [D]tonight.
    [Em]Baby, if I [G]told you the [Bm]right words,
  • ooh, at the righ[A]t time, you'd be mine.
    [D] === [Em] === [F#m] === [G] === [A] repeat
     
  • I love you
    Is all that you can't say
    Years gone by and still
  • Words don't come easily
    Like I love you I love you
     
  • {c: to chorus}

  • D--B--0---0--0-0---0---|2---2---2--------|
    A----------------------|0---0---0--------|
    E----------------------|-----------------|
  •  
    This is played and repeated twice, the second time it's repeated the vocals
    come in: "Sorry- is all that you can't say." However on "say" an Em chord is
  • played. Repeat the chord changes, but go to a D on "still" in "years go by
    and still." Repeat once more landing on an Em, then change to a G, then A
    each time "sorry" is repeated. Watch for the time signature changes around
  • the G. This entire sequence is repeated, with the exception of the opening
    strums before the singing begins. Of course, substitute the next verses,
    i.e. "Forgive me..."
  •  
    The remaining part of the song goes:
     
  • Em G D
    Baby, can I hold you tonight.
    Em G Bm
  • Baby, if I told you the right words,
    A
    oo- at the right time,
  • D Em F#m G A repeat.
    you'd be mine.

  • E---------------------------|---------------------|
     
    Repeat this over and over, until the bridge "I remember we were driving...".
  •  
    D for one measure, A for one measure, F#m(244222) for a measure, Esus
    (022200) for a measure, then a measure in which a D and F#m are given equal
  • time, followed by a measure of E. Repeat the last two measures, then play
    one with a D and E. Back to the repeating riff.
     
  • I'm not going to post the words, b/c I don't know them. But this is a decent
    compromise on the continual riff throughout the song, considering I can't
    play bass and acoustic guitars at the same time. Oh, and yes, I did this by
  • listening to the CD.
     
    1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 repeat...

    I apologize if my notation is unconventional, but this is my first TAB post
  • attempt. It's a little tricky to play this version, but I can manage it by
    keeping my index finger on the G, and by cheating with my thumb for the E
    bass notes.
  •  
     
    I use "^" for hammer-on, and the "d" and "u" to indicate downward and upward
  • strums. Here's the intro:
     
    Em G D Cmaj7
  • d u d u d u d u
    e-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|2---2---2---0---------|
    B--T--0---0-----------0---0-----------|3---3---3---0---------|

    A-----2---2---0^2-----2---2---0^2-----|------------3---------|
  • E-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|----------------------|
     
    The intro is repeated, and then:
  •  
    Em G
    Two weeks in a Virginia jail
  • D A
    For my lover, for my lover.
    Em G
  • Twenty thousand dollar bail
    D A
    For my lover, for my lover.---
  • C
    And everybody thinks
    A(add9) (x02420)
  • I'm the fool.
    D
    They don't get---any
  • C
    love from you.
    Em
  • Things we won't do for love---
    A(add9)
    Em
  • I'd climb a mountain if I had to,
    G
    risk my life so I could have you---
  • D
    you- you- you- you...
    Cmaj7 (x32000)
  • you- you -you -you -you.
     
    Repeat this progression with these lyrics:
  •  
    Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed
    for my lover, for my lover.
  • Dope me up and I tell them lies
    for my lover, for my lover.---
    And everybody thinks... etc.
  •  
    Stay on the Cmaj7 the second time through an extra measure, for:
     
  • Cmaj7
    I follow my heart
    Em
  • and leave my head to ponder
    D
    deep in this love--- no
  • Cmaj7
    man can shake.
     
  • Keep with these chord changes for the remaining lyrics:
     
    I follow my heart
  • and leave my mind to wonder,
    is this love worth- the sacri-
    fices I make?
  •  
    Now repeat the from the "Two weeks in a Virginia jail" verse.

    This is what is played in the intro, but watch for changes in the pattern
  • once she begins singing, as the order of the bars varies. Perhaps despite
    first appearances, not very complex left hand fingering.
    Basically, finger-picking between G, D, and C chords. Pattern changes to
  • strumming right before "Look at me losing control,".
    Use Em (022000), C (x32010), Am7 (x02010) and another C. Upon "emotions" the
    finger picking pattern is resumed.
  •  
    Use a capo barred at the second fret to match the pitch of this one. Follow
    the transcription as you would any TAB, disregarding the fact that you're
  • two frets up. A pitch of "2" is played by plucking the notated string two
    frets above the capo, not the nut.

  • F-------------------------|-------------------|--------------------|------------------|
     
    This is repeated a few times; when Tracy sings "then- why make your
  • promises" the chords change between D, Bm, A, Fm, and G. Again remember that
    the song is capoed at the second fret, so the shape of the D will be a C,
    the Bm and Am, etc. In case it's still unclear, here are the actual chord
  • forms to shape:
    D (x32010), Bm (x02210), A (320003), F#m (022000, and G (133211).
     
  • Change to an F#m7 (010000) when the sequence is repeated immediately
    thereafter. Change between G and A on the bridge to the repeat.
     
  • Use the following chords and repeat them over and over:
     
    Am, Dm, F and G.
  •  
    [C]She's got her ticket
    [G]I think she gonna use it
  • [Am]I think she going [C]to fly away[Am]
    No one should try and stop her
    Persuade her with their power
  • She says that her mind is made
    Up
     
  • This scheme is repeated until the end of the song.
     
     
  • G(320003), Cadd9(x32030), Em (022000) and D(xx0232).
     
    To be repeated until the end of the song.
  •  
    {define: Cadd9 0032030}
    {define: Dsus4 0X00233}
  •  
    {c:chorus}
    {soc}
  • D[G]on't you [Cadd9]know
    [D]They're talkin' about [Dsus4]a revolu[G]tion
    It[Cadd9]sounds [D]like [Dsus4]a whisper
  • Don't you know
    They're talkin' about a revolution
    It sounds like a whisper
  • {eoc}
     
    While they're standing in the welfare lines
  • Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
    Wasting time in the enemployment lines
    Sitting around waiting for a promotion
  •  
    {c:chorus}
     
  • Poor people gonna rise up
    And get their share
    Poor people gonna rise up
  • And take what's theirs
     
    Don't you know
  • You better run, run, run...
    Oh I said you better
    Run, run, run...
  • Finally the tables are starting to turn
    Talkin' bout a revolution
     
  • Meaning of the symbols: ^ strike the strings down, v strike the strings up.

  •  
    These 2 measures are repeated all along the song.
     
  • Why ?
     
    The chords used in this are Bm (x24432), G (320003), A (x02220),
  • D(add9)(xx0230), and A(add9)(x02420).
    The intro is merely alternating between Bm and G, and adding hammers-on. In
    the case of the Bm hammer-on the three fingers other than the one barring at
  • the second fret. With the G hammer on the pointer finger.
     
    After that:
  •  
    Bm
    Why do the babies starve, there's enough food to feed the world?
  • G A
    Why, when there's so many of us are there people still alone?
    Bm
  • Why are the missiles called peacekeepers, when they're aimed to kill?
    G A
    Why is a woman still not safe when she's in her home?
  • D(add9)
    Love is hate
    A(add9)
  • war is peace,
    Bm
    no is yes,-
  • G
    we're all free.---- But, some-
    Bm
  • body's gonna have to answer, the time is coming soon. Amidst
    G
    all these questions and contradictions there're
  • A
    some who seek the truth. Tell me...
     
  • Then repeat.
     
     
  • [Bm]Why do the babies starve
    when there's enough food to feed the world?
    [G]Why when there's so many of us are [A]there people still alone?
  • [Bm]Why are the missiles called peacekeepers when they're aimed to kill?
    [G]Why is a woman still not safe [A]when she's in her home?
     
  • [Dadd9]Love is hate
    [Aadd9] war is peace,
    [Bm] no is yes,-
  • [G]we're all free...
     
    But, some[Bm]body's gonna have to answer, the time is coming soon.
  • Amidst [G]all these questions and contradictions
    there're [A]some who seek the truth. Tell me...
     
  • Why do the babies starve, When there's enough food to feed the world
    Why when there're so many of us, Are there people still alone
    Why are the missiles called peace keepers, When they're aimed to kill
  • Why is a woman still not safe, When she's in her home?
     
    Love is hate
  • War is peace
    No is yes
    And we're all free
  •  
    But somebody's gonna have to answer
    The time is coming soon
  • When the blind remove their blinders
    And the speechless speak the truth
