“Different Situation”
Performed by Opal
Words and Music by Mike Lemense
From “You’ll Get By”
Style: Light Rock
Notes
1 Guitar, Standard Tuning
Moderate Pace, pacing is a large part of the song, so for a good idea of how it’s played, listen to the song
Verse (Mike plays once before the singing comes in)
C Am Em G G(add9) Em
If I was to pass you on the way, do you think things would still seem so ok,
C G Em Am G(add9) Em
And if I was to talk about the other day, what is it you think you would say,
Refrain
Em G C Em Am G(add9)
Because sometimes I wonder why, we don’t look at things with our own eyes,
Em G C Em Am G(add9) G
And when I wonder why is when I realize, that it’s a different situation in these times
G(add9) G Em Am G(add9) G
In these times, oooooooooooo, It’s a different situation in these times
Other Verses
Verse 2
If I was to pass by your side, do you think everything would seem so alright,
And if I was to show you that I cried, would you wipe the tears from my eyes,
Verse 3
If I was to turn, smile, and wave, would you do the same back with no delay,
And if I was to show you that I pray, would you think me strong anyway
Verse 4
And if I was to show you my love, in the middle of the street, embraced in a hug,
Would you laugh or be true to your feelings, oh sometimes I wonder about these things
Then Verse 1 is repeated
Bridge (Mike plays the bridge 2x before the singing comes in)
C G7 Am Em C G7 Am Em
And I wish people’d show a little love, so I could know what their feelings are made of,
C G7 Am Em C G7 Am Em
And I wish people’d show a little care, just so the world could know that it’s there
Then back into the Refrain for the end
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 OPAL 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.
