The beat of this song is just a steady down-up-down-up stroke with mutes at every third stroke: \/ = down /\ = up \(mute)/ down & mute
(i.e. \/ /\ \(mute)/ /\ \/ /\ \(mute)/)
Play comfortably fast
verse
G D Em C G D Em C
I don't know what to do to ease your mind
G D Em C G D Em C
Don't have a perfect word to make it fine
G D Em C G
I'm not so qualified for sympathy
D Em C G
Still I am not without love
(second verse is the same as the first)
Psalm #4 falls on your grieving ear,
Yes I believe the peace of Christ is here
And I'm here in His name,
You'd do the same, you'd do the same, you'd do the same
Chorus
C G
If you let me close
C D Em C
Closer than a brother
Em D Cadd9
If you let me love you we'll sit here and cry
G D Em C G
[: If you let me love you :]
Bridge
D
Never failing; ever hoping
Am
Seeking to preserve
D
It always is giving
Am
Often beyond words
D
And when there's nothing left to
Am
Say, love has a voice,
D Am
So in sorrow, and in heart ache
C
There's a greater joy.
(repeat first verse and chorus)
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 SMALLTOWN POETS 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.
