If You Could Only See (Acoustic)
by Tonic
Words and Music by Emerson Hart
*Standard Tunning (eADGBE)*
Transcribed by Geoff Craig (geoff_craig@juno.com)
This song has been one of my personal favourites even before I
started playing guitar. When I went to find tabs for this song's acoustic
version they were no where to be seen. So here's my transcription of it.
Any corrections, comments, questions, or death threats, Email me.
==========================================================================
RIFF 1
For the intro this is how it goes (The intro is basically the chorus
aswell)
Am C
If you could only see the way she loves me
G * G/F
Then maybe you would understand
Am C
Why I feel this way about our love
G * G/F
And what I must do
Am C G *
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
G/F (break)
When she says she loves me
*: when you play the G chord mute the A string and hammer on and off second
fret of the G string for a cool little lick you can here in the recording
if you listen carefully
Am - 002210
C - x32010
G - 3X0033
G/F - 1X0033
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIFF 2
*NOTE: For verse parts play Gtr. 1 chords fluently (withought the F) and
don't play Gtr.2. Listen to the song.
Gtr. 1:
Asus2 C G F
E |--0--0--------0--0------0--0-----0---0---|
B |--0--0--------0--0------0--0-----0---0---|
G |--2--2--------5--5------4--4-----2---2---|

B |----------------------------8-8s10-------|
G |-------------------7s9-7-----------------|
D |-------9s10-9----------------------------|

If you don't have someone to play Grt. 2 then you can play it this way
on your own and it sounds good

| I think Charisse's interpretation is probably pretty accurate although it may not necessarily be a situation where someone is trying to break them up--it could be like his friends don't like his new girlfriend and he is trying to explain to them that she loves him so much it doesn't matter what they think... just an idea though. | |

| This is such a great song. I've had it stuck in my head spiratically for like the last year, and I had no idea what it was called, and I kept forgetting to ask. Well, now that I've found out what it is called, I don't think it is to his mother at all. Youw ouldn't tell ur mother that she manipulates u lol | |

| This is a great song. I just wish he hadnt specified the eye color of the girl in that one line. I know its his song, and its meaningful, but it makes it tough for me to relate to when i hear blue eyes and the girl im thinking of has brown eyes. | |
