#40 Help

[vipergts281]

I just listened to #40 for the first time last night. Great song.

But from looking at the tabs on this site, I can not figure out how to play it, I am mainly talking about the beginning.

It seems Dave is strumming the beginning. But from what I gather from the tabs here, is that it is one string at a time.....3------2------1 etc.......

Can anyone offer any tips fror getting this down.


Thanks.

Viper-

It depends on which version of the song you listened to. He sometimes plays a little intro to it, which is what I think you are talking about. Other times he just starts right in with the strumming. Download a couple different #40's and I think you'll pick up on that really short picking part.

he strums on the older acoustic ones where it was played like a full song...the shorter ones he picks more single notes.

[vipergts281]

Thanks guys. I'll dl more versions of the song.

[vipergts281]

I have listened to several versions.

Does anyone happen to have tabs to the "strumming" version. The version I am talking about is one I dl off of Kazaa. It is 4:34 long, from the Lilywhite Sessions.

Thanks.

just use the tabs from this site, except hit the bass note first, then strum the rest of the notes that are singled out in the tabs intro.

For the record, that song wasn't on the Lillywhite Sessions. The version you have is from the Yoshi's show (5/10/95).

LYRICS:
(Rhythm #1)
Share the time again
I spend with you
A friend is always good to have
But a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down at me
I dream of you at times when your by my side
Dream you're not just like you are
So troubled and doubling my pain
Just one more tear
You shed for me
I wish that I could climb inside your mind
And spend some time and hug and hold you
And mold you into what i'd like
But no i can't do this
Just a kiss to spend a while by you
And your familiar smile and voice

(Bridge)
I lay awake
(Rhythm #2)
Then you lean back and smiling
On you
Most everything you do for me, I say
And the while let's make our way
And feel warm
In the middle of this storm with you 
Like an angel
(Rhythm #1)
Oh, what the friends say is good is right
I say
When you were again
And you were my friend
Before the lie
This one
Say yes I do
And with you
Sometimes
But while I do my best
With all the rest I leave to you
(Bridge)
Can't wait for the hour
(Rhythm #2)
And when two things become this
All this trouble from a kiss from you, i'll do it
And then you come up smiling
And I'm thrown
Into I get a little storm with you, I'll do it
(Rhythm #1)
Always
Lover, line up and yeah
The road to you is long and I've been on it for a while
And a need a warm embrace
I'll take a break
(Bridge)
And say I want to leave you awake
(Rhythm #1)
Always
