If you re confused about something, have a question, or want to suggest a song for me to make
tabs for, just leave a comment or email me at

There are two different ways to play the intro, so play whichever you like better, even though its
really just a one note difference, or you can just play chords instead. There really isn t a guitar
playing at the intro, it s just the piano (and a keyboard for the acoustic
version), but I like playing
it anyway.
Capo: 6th fret
Standard Tuning
Intro/Outro/Verses (tabs):
****The tabs are easier if you play it as a C chord****
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------6-6-8-------------8-------8---|
A|---9-9-9-9-------9-9-9-6-9-6---6-9-6-----|
E|-----------------------------------------|
The other way to play it is instead of playing the two notes on the 6th fret on the D string, drop
your finger down that s on the 8th fret on the D string and play the 8th fret on the A string to
replace the notes on the 6th fret on D. So it would look like this:
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|---------------8-------------8-------8---|
A|---9-9-9-9-8-8---9-9-9-6-9-6---6-9-6-----|
E|-----------------------------------------|
Also in the second verse, that last 8th fret played on the D string is replaced with the 6th fret on
the G string. So it would look like this:
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------6---|
D|-----------6-6-8-------------8-----------|
A|---9-9-9-9-------9-9-9-6-9-6---6-9-6-----|
E|-----------------------------------------|
1st Verse (chords):
Everybody s watching now
Look at you go, sad but composed
But tell me how you really are
I wanna know, enough of the show
Chorus:
So how s it gonna be when your world is crashing down
You can count on me, lay your troubles on the ground
You can close your eyes in the quiet, hear me whisper
Singing out Goodnight, Sister

2nd Verse:
Look at all the pain you hide
Cover your eyes, pretty disguise
But you don t have to walk alone
No matter where, I will be there
Chorus:
So how s it gonna be when your world is crashing down
You can count on me, lay your troubles on the ground
You can close your eyes in the quiet, hear me whisper
Singing out Goodnight, Sister
