Kelv's guitar tabs - Weak

Dedicated to Annie! :o)

My notation..

Ok, I know this notation isn't standard, but I've never made tabs before.

x = just play the string without holding any strings. ^ = when you play the chord as you bring your hand back up again The number is the fret to play the string on. The chords are repeated to vaguely indicate the rhythm of the song, though you'll know it anyway!

This bit can be used for the intro, and the verses.. it just repeats.

eg. Lost in time, I can't count the words.. or Weak as I am no tears for you..

e|-----x--x-x-2-2-2-x---x-x-x-3-3-3--3-3---------------------------------|
B|-----x--x-x-3-3-3-1---1-1-1-1-1-1--1-1---------------------------------|
G|-----x--x-x-2-2-2-x---x-x-x-x-x-x--x-x---------------------------------|
D|-----2--2-2-x-x-x-2---2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2---------------------------------|
A|-----2--2-2-x-x-x-3---3-3-3-3-3-3--3-3---------------------------------|
E|-----x--x-x------------------------------------------------------------|
            ^     ^         ^     ^    ^
       Em Em  D D   C   C C   C      C

On the last 5 chords just play C and use your little finger for playing the e(3)

In verse 4 the chords change (the verse that goes 'in this tainted soul, in this weak young heart... etc)

That's basically it. I'm not good enough to do those ingenious little twiddly bits Ace puts into it.. maybe one day!
