My name is Loren Noblitt and I bought the new V3 album recently
and thought I'd tab this song out because it sounded really cool...so I
did and here I am to share it with all of you. I've never done this before so cross your fingers...

Lyrics:
if i cannot see you from afar
look into your eyes, that hint of depth
hidden inside
if i cannot hear you from afar
whisper in my ear, rest assured that
you are near
and I now not what it's like
the aforementioned
for the distance between us
as are the stars, i only have you
in my imagination
in my imagination
just to love you
from afar
if i cannot kiss you from afar
press against your lips, taste
the sweetness of your breath
if i cannot touch you from afar
hold you in my arms, keep you warm
and safe from harm
though our circumstances
cause seperation
in the absence
there's a presence in my heart
i will surrender, i'll surrender to my
quiet contemplation
my quiet contemplation
i'll just, i'll just love you
from afar
there must be a better way
a better way of passing the time
'cause I can't seem to get her out,
get her out of my mind...
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 VAN HALEN 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.
