Really, the best way to look at it is you hit the 'A' string followed quickly by the 'G' string for each

chord...then you follow the patterns of...

A#-C-Dm-C (pause) A#-C-Dm (pause)  [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]

A#-C-Dm-C (pause) A#-C-Dm (pause)  [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]

A#-Dm-C-A#  A#-Dm-C-A#  Dm-C-A# (pause)  [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3]

A#-C-Dm-C   A#-C-C-A#   A#-C-Dm-C   A#-C-Dm-Dm-?  [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..]


===========================================================
Rest of the Song:
===========================================================


Then the intro ends, and the drums kick in, and the rest can be found tabbed everywhere...basically...it's the

same barr chords...

                   Dm-10,12,12,10,10,10
                   A#-688766
                    C-8,10,10,9,8,8
                    F-133211
                   Am-577555
                   Gm-355333

** Important note...A#~C means slide the A# chord into the C chord...


[[[ Verse ]]]


Dm    A#~C                       F    A#-Am-Gm

Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions..


Dm   A#~C                         F        A#-Am-Gm

You, laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking...


F    A#        Am     Gm

Say love you drive me to distraction...


(some Violin plucking here, don't know it)


Dm   A#~C                       F   A#   Am  Gm

Oh, helena, do you believe that we might Last a


Dm    A#~C                         F     A#   Am       Gm

Thousand years or more if not for this, our flesh and blood


   F      A#        Am       Gm

it ties, you and me right up tie me down


[[[ Chorus ]]]


F     C      Gm        A# Am   F              C         Gm           A# Am

.....Celebrate we will.........cause life is short and sweet for certain...


F         C        Gm     A# Am  F          C      Gm     A# Am

We're climbing two by two........to be sure these days continue...


F      A#-Am-Gm    F

Things we cannot change..


(ok, more violin plucking while dave just plays F-A#-Am-Gm over and over)

Now, you just have to keep going...two more verses and two more choruses...just as above...

Just keep up with the 3 Chord patterns...

1) Dm  A#~C  F  A#-Am-Gm (main one in verses, remember A#~c means A# slides into a C)
2) F  C  Gm  A# Am  (maind one in chorus)
3) F  A#-Am-Gm (used in various places)

==========================================================
