Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Guitar 2 (or organ) fades-in on last beat of intro

Riff 1

Verse

  In my silence I would love to forget

  But restitution hasn't come quite yet

  And with one accord I keep moving forth

  I stretch my heart to heal some more

Chorus

  It used to be all I wanted to learn

  Was wisdom trust and truth

  But now all I really want to learn

  Is forgiveness for you

then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as riff 1

Riff 2

( pitiful attempt at repeat sign )

play what's in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box

*(Not sure about octave

before repeat)*

Verse

  As my seasons change I've now grown to know

  When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe

  So I wash away stains of yesterday

  Then tempt my heart with love's display

(Play Chorus again)

Guitar interlude (couldn't quite call this a solo!)

It sounds approximately right to me

*listen for the muted

slashes between each chord*

DRUM BEAT (4 Bars)

...I think so?

*play last chord very gently*

Chorus w/acoustic guitar (no break with muting)

Rest of band kicks-in still with chorus (break with muting)

Play chorus chords (no vocals or break w/ muting) 3 times

Well, I did as good as I could...

This truly is a great song. But I was disappointed that, like the other songs on "Disciplined Breakdown", there are no real solos. Ross Childress is an extremely talented guitarist, Why don't they let him solo? It would make the great tunes even better.

P.S - Comments, Questions, improvements; welcome and appreciated!
