This is the first song I've tabbed for OLGA so please, bear with me. Any comments, questions or corrections would greatly be appreciated. So E-Mail me if you want to!
*/*/*/* NOTE */*/*/* When **** is next to a chord it means
that there are 4 muted 16th note slashes
using the G-chord Starting on the 4th beat.
Example: 1 2 3 4 e a u
Guitar 2 (or organ) fades-in on last beat of intro
riff 1
In my silence I would love to forget
But restitution hasn't come quite yet
And with one accord I keep moving forth
I stretch my heart to heal some more
It used to be all I wanted to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you
then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as riff 1
riff 2
( pitiful attempt at repeat sign )
play what's in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box

*(Not sure about octave
before repeat)*
As my seasons change I've now grown to know
When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart with love's display
(Play Chorus again)
Guitar interlude (couldn't quite call this a solo!)
It sounds approximately right to me
(again, there's that
famous repeat sign)

*listen for the muted
slashes between each chord*
DRUM BEAT (4 Bars)
...I think so?
Finger-pick all this part (Oh,come on! You must get the idea by now!)

*play last chord very gently*
Chorus w/acoustic guitar (no break with muting)
Rest of band kicks-in still with chorus (break with muting)
Play chorus chords (no vocals or break w/ muting) 3 times
Well, I did as good as I could...
This truly is a great song. But I was disappointed that, like the other songs on "Disciplined Breakdown", there are no real solos. Ross Childress is an extremely talented guitarist, Why don't they let him solo? It would make the great tunes even better.
P.S - Comments, Questions, improvements; welcome and appreciated!
