Drop-D down a whole-step
Comments: Monster tuning time. There have been plenty of requests for this
one and it's a great song so I'm not surprised. I think there will be some
puzzled, and maybe even disppointed, players out there though; this thing
is a bitch. The actual rhythms and fingerings are relatively easy, but the
tuning is murder. You'll need telephone-poles for strings in order to pull
this one off (I used a set of .013's on a Maison dreadnought) because this
just won't stay in tune. Hit the low E (now low C) just a tad too hard and
you're out of tune. Playing instructions are few, just let ring as much
as possible. I'm not quite sure about the F-chord in Rhy. Fig 4; it sounds
good with the album but hasn't got quite the ring you'd expect when played
by itself. When there are a- and b-forms the a's are on the left and the b's
are on the right. Rhy. Fig 4 is panned dead center as is the solo. Rhy. Fig
4 is played by a very damped or muted instrument. I can't be sure but at
times it sounds a little like a banjo. Wouldn't bet on it though.

Rhy. ig 1a w/ Rhy. ig 1b and Intro solo
Rhy. ig 2a w/ Rhy. ig 2b
Each and every day
People turn away
Rhy. ig 3a w/ Rhy. ig 3b
Change the things they feel
Change the things they say
Rhy. ig 2a w/ Rhy. ig 2b and Rhy. ig 4a
We can never know
Where our lives will lead
Rhy. ig 1a w/ Rhy. ig 1b and Rhy. ig 4b
Wherever you go
Whenever you need
Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 1
I Will Be There
Wanna be there
I will hear you when you call
Give you anything at all
Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 2 and Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 3
I Will Be There
Anywhere
Like a father to his son
Rhy. ig 2a w/ Rhy. ig 2b and Rhy. ig 4a
You are just a child
All is yet to be
Rhy. ig 1a w/ Rhy. ig 1b and Rhy. ig 4b
Growing all the while
Knowing when you leave
Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 1
I Will Be There
Wanna be there
Only blood will run so deep
Seal the promise I will keep
I Will Be There
Anywhere
Like a father to his son
I can swear to only one
Rhy. ig 6
Time moves quickly as the years go by
All these moments slip away
When I'm gone and life will carry on
You will know someway
Solo over Rhy. ig 2a w/ Rhy. ig 2b and Rhy. ig 4a
I will be there
Rhy. 3a w/ Rhy. ig 3b and Rhy. ig 4b
I will be there
Rhy. ig 5 w/ nd 1

Wanna be there
Only blood will run so deep
Seal the promise I will keep

Like a father to his son
I must swear to only one
Rhy. ig 7a w/ Rhy. ig 7b
