beginning
This stuff after the semicolon is just the chords. Listen to the rhythm
and don't be afraid to hit the high strings to get the treble effect. In
the recorded song, there is an acoustic guitar that doubles the electric.

Give me some time to get the solo to you: I haven't sat down to play
with it yet.

Here's how it goes with the words and all...
Fig 1. - 4X
Fig 2. - 4X with variations on basic rhythm
------
E G A A? A
For clear space and soundness of mind
E G A A? A
I've let you play me for some time
E G A A? A
One can only recieve and retain
E G A A? A
But the lies you recite for your gain
------
Fig 1. - 2X
Fig 2. - 4X with variations again
------
E G A A? A
So you rely on my faith in your kind
E G A A? A
Or rather to continue to pretend that I'm blind
E G A A? A
You say I made your life a living hell
E G A --Pause--
And yet still let me pay you when I fell
------
Fig 3. - 4X
------
How is it you're feeling so uneasy?
How is it that I feel fine?
Life reveals what's dealt through seasons
Circle comes around each time
I've been blessed with eyes to see this
Behind the unwholsome truth you hide
Bite to remind the bitten, bigger
Mouth repaying tenfold wide
------
Fig 4. - 1X
------
A# 4X A 3X E
I'm a-----bove
A#A# A# A# A A A E
Over you I'm standing above
A# A# A# A# A A A E
Claiming unconditional love
G F#
Above
------
Fig 2. - 2X random picking/strumming thru chords *With Solo*
Fig 2. - 4X with rhythm variations again...
------
E G A A? A
Try to keep bad blood in the past
E G A A? A
Never thought a chance, a chance it would last
E G A A? A
I have strength enough enough to forgive
E G A --Pause--
I desire peace where I live
------

That's it.. hope you enjoy... send all flames, modifications, comments,
additions, virgin sacrifices, large sums of money, etc etc......

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 MAD SEASON 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.
