>From their 1992 Rykodisc album Copper Blue.
Tabbed out by Keith E. Law (*).
This is the single version. I have no clue if the album version is any
different.
There s another tab of this song out there somewhere, but it s very hard
to read so I decided to write it out in a more legible fashion.
NOTE: CAPO ON THIRD FRET!!!!!!!
All chord names herein designate position; e.g., D = XX0232, which, with a
capo on the third fret, is actually an F.
T = play with thumb
/ = slide up
= slide down
^ = bend ^q = quarter tone ^h = half tone ^F = full tone
if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked
h = hammer
p = pull-off
g = grace note - written above note to be graced
~ = vibrato
This is the main riff:
202320|2020000|
333333|3333202|
2220|2222222|
0000|0002222|
2|0000|
3||
In chord names: D Dsus2 D G D(no5) Dsus2(no5)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For simplicity s sake, call this A pattern
Riff .
Behind the lyrics:
Tears fill up my eyes
Riff
I m washed away with sorrow
And somewhere in my mind
I know there s no tomorrow
Well I see you re leaving soon
I guess you ve had your fill
G Riff A (to main riff)
But if I can t change your mind then no one will
[Same for verse 2]
And all throughout the years
I ve never strayed from you my dear
But you suspect I m somewhere else
You re feeling sorry for yourself
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can t change your mind then no one will
If I can t change your mind
Even though my heart keeps breaking
Don t you know that I ll be waiting
Here for you
Then when you return
When will you return
I hope you see I m dedicated
Look how long that I have waited
If you come back then you will find
Riff
A different person if you change your mind
[Verse 3 - back to same pattern]
How can I explain away
Something that I haven t done
And if you can t trust me now
You ll never trust in anyone
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can t change your mind then no one will
If I can t change your mind
[transition] Bm F#m
[jump to middle of verse pattern]
Someday you ll see I ve been true
I ll stay that way until
But if I can t change your mind then no one will
The very end:

I ve seen other transcriptions using a capo but this is how I play it.
It s sounds the best on a twelve string but still cool on a 6.
The rhythm isn t exactly right but the chords are good.
(Use your thumb for the F chords.)

The solo is in F and the run at the end is just going up and down the scale
with a little change near the end.
