			   Music & Lyrics by John Butler
	          From the album "Sunrise Over Sea" By The John Butler Trio

Tabbed by - Hugh Klein - hugh@ausi.com

Tuning - CGCGCE


This tab will be missing subtleties but they can be filled 
in by listening to the song, which is different everytime 
it's played anyway. My interpretation has come from listening
to the album version and having seen him play it live once. 
Corrections/suggestions are welcome.

* - This isn't actually played as a chord, but it sounds like
he just bars the 5th fret and plucks a few strings quietly.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture David Rhythm Player	#1 by David Bradley at Apr 13, 1984 at 1:54 PM EST
	I think it is talking about him talking to the people he doesn't agree with, basically just trying to create a bridge with the person, call a truce to stop arguing. This is a great song, and wonderful soloing in the last six or so minutes of it.

No Picture Casey Wanna Be	#2 by Casey at May 30, 1985 at 10:40 PM EST
	such a strong song. however the music seems to overpower the lyrical power of it in many ways. like the guy before me said, the solo-ing is unbelievable. wow
