Subject: Jeffrey Gaines: "In Your Eyes"
In Your Eyes (Live version)
Performed by Jeffrey Gaines. Written by Peter Gabriel.
Transcribed by James M Lawrence. (jl@student.umass.edu)
You probably will need the recording to get a really good feel for the
song. It is on the single of "Headmasters of Mine".
For starters, the primitive chords are:
intro
Bm A D D (4 times) (technically, the A is always Asus6)
1st verse
Bm A D D
Bm A G G (4 times)
bridge
A A G G (4 times)
G G G G
G G
chorus
E E D D (6 times)
E,Esus4,E,Esus4
2nd intro
Bm A D D
Bm A D D
2nd verse(same as 1st)
bridge
chorus
The tab is hard to write because it is very syncopated and so many
of the notes are played quitely while others are louder. There
even are some instances in this tab where the marked note is hardly
played, if at all. I put parenthesis around the notes that I thought
were the most de-emphasized. The "|" line means stop the strings
and/or strum with the strings stopped.

eyes the light, the heat I am complete...
...this is generally the same for the rest of the chorus.
There are places where the E and G are strummed a few times more.
The second verse is pretty much the same form as the first, with
minor variations, and the obvious pauses.
I will eventually sumbit a revised edition of this song that
would smooth out some of the unclear parts. In any case, don't
kill yourself trying to learn it exactly; I'm sure Jeffrey
Gaines couldn't play it again precisely the same way.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JEFFREY GAINES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
