a few notes at the risk of being verbose:
i saw this song transcribed differently
on a website, with the capo on the 5th fret,
with the chords BmGDA, (and that s the way richard does it live
i believe) but i play along with the CD with no capo,
in the key of Em/G (i think that s right).
both ways sound right when played along with the CD,
but i like my way better.
just use an easy, free-picking style, listen to how richard plays,
and you ll see what i mean.
sorry, i don t write tab; i play by ear...
but it s really quite simple.
he adds a lot of hammer-ons and twiddly things in there.
really a pretty song.
comments, suggestions ?
feel free...

let s not drive away just yet
/addG /addG /addG
Give me a mo- ment more
/addG
to walk through those rooms again
/addG
to walk through that door
/addG
if we turn off the radio
/addG /addG /addG
i ve only to close my eyes
/addG /addG
and the wind in the sycamores
/addG
will carry me home
/addG
the vine of my memory
/addG
is blooming around those eaves
/addG /addG /addG
but it s true it s a chore to tame wis - ter- ia
/addG /addG
wis - ter- ia
/addG
i m tempted to ring the bell
/addG /addG /addG
maybe they d ask me in
/addG /addG
or maybe it s just as well
/addG
to just let it be
/addG
remember the price we paid?
/addG /addG /addG
it seemed like a lot back then
/addG /addG
remember the love we made
/addG
the day we moved in?
/addG
the vine of my memory
/addG
is blooming around those eaves
/addG /addG /addG

(solo)

/addG /addG /addG
/addG /addG
/addG
/addG
it did need some pruning back
/addG /addG
and i know that it s not my place
/addG /addG
but how could they just cut it down
/addG
and leave not a trace?
/addG
let s not drive away just yet
/addG /addG /addG
give me a mo - ment more
/addG
to walk through those dreams again
/addG
to walk through that door
/addG
the vine of my memory
/addG
still blooms all around those eaves
/addG /addG /addG
and it s true it s a chore to tame wis - te - ria
/addG /addG
wis - te - ria
/addG /addG
wis - te - ria
