Chords, Guitar Tablature & Lyrics
____________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are two electric guitars and one acoustic guitar in this one. I'm going to show you the chords and a tip or two - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

THE CHORDS:

(intro lick) Ab Db
(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO)

Db Gb
last night, while you were far away

Ab Db
I thought I saw the devil and heard him say

Db Gb
I've come to take away your soul

Ab Db
to a place where you can't play no rock-n-roll
 
Db Gb
well, I've got dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
gonna turn my hair to gray,


gonna make me fade away,

Db
gonna make me see a little light

 

Db Gb
a man once told me with a smile

Ab Db
lock all your troubles in a fire

Db Gb
but then someone showed up with the key

Ab Db
you know you can't never hide what you can't see
 
Db Gb
and I've got dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
gonna turn my hair to gray,


gonna make me fade away,

Db
gonna make me see a little light
 

Db Gb
dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
cryin' out for heaven sake,


gonna make me lay awake,

Db
gonna make me see a little light


Db Gb Ab Db
(SLIDE SOLO)
 

Db Gb
pretty girls with curly hair

Ab Db
I sometimes think that I should take my share

Db Gb
but that special one that means so much

Ab Db
I just don't want to lose her special touch
 
Db Gb
and I've got dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
gonna turn my hair turn to gray,


gonna make me fade away,

Db
gonna make me see the light
 
Db Gb
dreams that wake me in the night

Ab
cryin' out for heaven sake


gonna make me lay awake,

Db
gonna make me see a little light

Ab Db Gb Ab Db Ab Db
gonna make me see a little liiiiiight

TIPS

The intro lick is (string/fret) 6/4, 5/4, 5/3, 6/6 - play the 6/4 with your second finger and the rest falls in place. Play the first note rather quickly. The notes in between the Db chord symbols are (string/fret) 6/4, 6/6, 6/8. I had to tune my guitar slightly higher to be in tune with the recording.
