SongTitle: Never Let You Go
Tabs: Never Let You Go, by Third Eye Blind, transcribed by Matt
Veneklase.
I know this has already been tabbed out three times but none
of them have been completely accurate or even complete. I tried
to put as much information into this as possible; since its hard
to figure out timing from tab I include the counting above the tab.
If you compare this to the CD it is very accurate, so please do
before e-mailing me with any corrections.
x= play muted string.
= slide down.
/= slide up.
()= These have two meanings:
9/(11)= don't pick the 11 after sliding up from 9.
9 (9)= pick 1st note and let it sustain through
the beat where it appears again in ().
Chords used:
E5- x79xxx, xx99xx
B5- 79xxxx, x99xxx
A5- 57xxxx
C5- x1111xxxx
(that's 2 11's)

Guitar 1: Part 5:
Neck single coil.
To play this real smooth, barr the A and E strings
at the 7th fret with your index finger. Place your ring
finger at the 9th fret on the A string, and your pinky (pimky
is a funny word) at the 9th fret on the D string. To change
chords just lift up your ring finger.

| This song seems to be told from a guy's perspective. He was in a bad relationship that makes no sense to him. He thought he would be happy with this girl and be with her forever. And even as the years pass and times change, he still carries her memory with him. Basically this song is about reflecting on a point of your life. | |

| This song, well all I can say is that I totaly relate to it. I feel as if I'm the narrator, beacuse his lyrics are exactly like I felt about my first love. The only difference is that I'm the female version of him! The grey fool's analysis is spot on, exactly how I viewed the song. Even now, a year on from when my relationship ended I have to stop and take note of this song. When ever its on, all these memories come flooding back. I still can't believe how much the lyrics in this song and my love life intertwine with one another! | |

| my fave part.. "i remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads" in every relationship you have little trinkets that remind you of the person and you can't get rid of...you save them adn then when you look at them remember the happy times with that person...i just love this song tho | |

| this song is about change and closing a passage in our lives, even if that passage burns others, we are constantly changing and growing and if they love us as much as they say they would understand. | |
