Hi all, So I love this song but couldn't seem to find written tab for it anywhere. Some genius on youtube
however,who's link I've inclued, has made a great vieo on how to play this CORRECTLY. Watching this video over
and over has taught me how to play it. This is the link to video I learned from -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW9pCK41aQQThe studio version is played a half step down -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrMOluY6yZc
The strum pattern is pretty intuitive, so I am leaving that out. I will provide the Lyrics with the chords as
they appear in the song and also the assorted riffs that appear. To do the Riff I have Two riff chords (C/F
and G6) See Below.
At the end I will include the video since Credit where credit due - and also the vid might help you learn as
well.

[CMaj7] [Gb9]
Once there was a melody
[FMaj7]
That came from the depths of me
[Gb9]
That's how it starts...
[CMaj7] [Gb9]
It came from another place
[FMaj7]
Trail I can never trace
[Gb9]
No matter how hard
[CMaj7]
And it's strange how
[Gb9]
the story's yours now
[FMaj7] [Gb9]
As it leaves my voice
[CMaj7] [Gb9]
There was not a choice
[C/F]
But to release you...
Riff with the "rele-e-e-ase you":

Chorus
[Am7] [C#Maj7/G]
There was a time

Oh, to release you
When you were mine

Oh, to release you
And now you're free
[E7#9]
Oh, to release you
[E7b9]
'Cause I released you
[Am7]
Oh, to release you
[C#Maj7/G]
There was a time
[D9]
Oh, to release you
When you were mine
[FMaj7]*
Oh, to release you
And now you're free

Oh, to release you

Verse
[CMaj7] [Gb9]
Once there was too much too say
[FMaj7]
Though I should've find a way
[Gb9]
And that's how it starts
[CMaj7] [Gb9]
Sorrows and ecstasy
[FMaj7]
Grow all these words to me
[Gb9]
No matter how hard
[CMaj7]
And it's strange how
[Gb9]
The story's yours now
[FMaj7] [Gb9]
As it leaves my voice
[CMaj7] [Gb9]
There was not a choice
[FMaj7]
But to release you

In another's mind...
