A few notes:

This is only my interpretation of the song. The actual guitar

part is much more complex and may even involve alternate

tunings. My version is based for an acoustic guitar (i.e.

those camping trips) as I have tried to include base notes

which may or may not be actually played by Dean. If you are

looking for the note for note version of this song - buy the

book!!!!!

P.S. If your fingers are squeeky clean - then so too will

your song be as there is along of fingertip sliding.

Janna Leigh Mount - If you should die before me, ask if you

could bring a friend.

*N.B. best fingering for the A(no 5) is:

4th | 1 | | | | (you get used to it!!) | | | | | |

5th 2 | | | | | 2 1 | | | |

6th | | | 3 | | * to play the A(add 4) : | | |(3)| |

7th | | 4 | | | bridge your pinkie | | 4 4 | |

| | | | | | over the two strings | | | | | |

and slide your first

finger up one fret. (You might get away

with not sliding your finger up by just

creating a pseudo-A(add 4) with your

4th finger bridging the two strings.

and the last two chords of the intro are of the form:

| 1 | | | | just reverse your last two fingers.

Verse (use intro riff 4 times - not the last three chords)

Our bed we live, our bed we sleep

Making love and I become you

Flesh is warm with naked feet

Stabbing thorns and you become me

(T)

* Play the base note with your thumb.

Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine

Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave

If you should die before me ask if you could bring a friend

Pick a flower, hold your breath and drift away...

To verse:

She holds my hand we share a laugh

Sipping orange blossom breezes

Love is still and sweat remains

A cherished gift unselfish feeling

Oh, Id beg for you

Oh, You know I'd beg for you

Interlude

('A' chord played over and over here)

Verse 3:

She tells me things, I listen well

Drink the wine and save the water

Skin is smooth, I steal a glance

Dragon flies are gliding over

Oh, I'd beg for you

Oh, You know I'd beg for you.
