Gift - Sugar
Transcribed by Daniel Meijer <dm@zip.com.au>
Here's my repost, with tab stops removed from the text.
The main chord riff....ie the intro...is sus2 chords:
Bsus2 Dsus2
E>--2------------5-----------
B>-2-2-2-2------5-5-5-5------
G>-4-------4----7-------7----
D>-4------------7------------
A>-2------------5------------
E>-x-------------x-----------
Hold the chord while you play the little line on the 2nd & 3rd
string. In the verse, when I say "Bsus2" I mean the riff above.
--A>>>B-- means bend note A to the pitch of B.
Lead Break:
F#5 D5 A5 E5 D5
e---------------------5>>>7--------------------
B-----------------------------5>>>>7-----------
G--4>>>>6-----7>>>>9-------------------7>>>>9---
Bsus2 Dsus2
an' I received this gift from you
A E D E
Pleasantly surprised, I never thought you'd realise that maybe
Bsus2 Dsus2
I have taken this from you
A E D E
If I was deserving, who am I to disagree
A E D B
How can I refuse this, even if I don't deserve it?
<lead break>
And now, I give this gift to you
Could have got you anything but this will have to do
It's how I give this gift to you
Doesn't seem like much but it's the best that I could do
I'm giving everything away before I go for good.
<lead break>
F#5 E
And once you give the gift away
D Bsus2
there's nothing you can do about it.
F#m E
Nothing that you do or say
D Bsus2
can change the way I feel about it
F#m E
Try to look inside of me
D Bsus2
To find the gift that I am giving
F#m E
Glad you had a chance to see
D Bsus2
the gift that I'm delivering
<lead break>
<repeat lead break w/bass playing alternate root notes for the chords>
<end on F#m>

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 SUGAR 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.
