I suggest that you fret the fourth fret with your pointer finger and let all
the other fingers do the stretching. Also, make sure that you sustain that
A note on the low E string and play the rest with the other fingers. For
example, when you play measure three, you should be barreing the fourth fret
with your pointer, hammer on and pull off that fifth fret on the B string
with your middle finger; then hit the fifth fret of the low E string (the A
note) with your middle finger; next hit the seventh fret of the D string with
your pinky and finally hit the sixth fret on the G string with your ring
finger. I know it requires a lot of painful stretching, but you should get
used to it. Anyway, here are the lyrics with everything else:
Don~t give me answers or I would refuse
Yes is a word for which I have no use
And I wasn~t looking for heaven or hell
Just someone to listen to stories I tell
What is a blessing? What is a dream?
Caught between portraits and none~s what it seems
And why is it some would expect there~s a change
When I feel I~m a part of something I can~t see
And I feel the same
Don~t ask me questions or I will retreat
Fame is a cancer and ego its seed
Now I wasn~t looking for heaven or hell
Just someone to listen to stories I tell
Do you ever wonder?
Did you ever care to stories I tell
Stories I tell
STOP
Sto......ries I... tell.....
a bass interlude comes in which plays the standard Cm to A chord change,
for those interested, the bass is simply played:
G -------------|------------------|-------------||
D -------------|------------------|-------------||
A -4-4-4-----2-|-(repeat 7 times)-|-4-2---------||
E -------5-5---|------------------|-----4-5-5-7-||
Subtle salvation in poems and pros
Hiding our heads in a shadow of home
I wasn~t looking for wreaths or for bells
Just someone to listen to stories I tell
Stories I tell
Basically, the song plays the Cm to A chord progression until it ends.
