If I Cant Change Your Mind

"If I Can't Change Your Mind," by Sugar.

>From their 1992 Rykodisc album Copper Blue.

Tabbed out by Keith E. Law (law2@husc.harvard.edu).

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:

--2---0-2---3---2-0--|--2---0-2---0-0-0-0--|

--3---3-3---3---3-3--|--3---3-3---3-2-0-2--|

--2---2-2---0--------|--2---2-2---2-2-2-2--|

--0---0-0---0--------|--0---0-0---2-2-2-2--|

------------2--------|------------0-0-0-0--|

------------3--------|---------------------|

In chord names: D Dsus2 D G D(no5) Dsus2(no5)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For simplicity's sake, call this A pattern

Riff A.

Behind the lyrics:

Tears fill up my eyes

D Riff A

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

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

G Riff A

A different person if you change your mind

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

 

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:
