It opens with two acoustic guitars which I've tabbed for one:

  C                              Em
E|------0-------3-------------|------0-------0---------------------|
B|------1-------1-------------|------0-------0---------------------|
G|--0---0---0---0------0--0---|------0-------0---------------------|
D|--2-------2---2------2--2---|--2---2---2---2---------------------|
A|--3-------3----------3--3---|--2-------2---2---------------------|
E|----------------------------|--0-------0-------------------------|

  Am                             F
E|--0---0---------0--0--------|------1-------3---------------------|
B|--1---1---1--0--1--0--------|------1-------1---------------------|
G|--2---2---2--2--2--2--------|--2---2---2---2---------------------|
D|--2---2---2--2--2--2--2--2--|--3---3---3---3---------------------|
A|--0---0---0--0--0--0--0--0--|--3---3---3-------------------------|
E|----------------------------|--1---------------------------------|

Then the acoustic guitars are joined
by a snappy muted electric guitar with
a little reverb that goes:

    C                             Em
E|--X--------------X-----------|--7--------------------------7------|
B|--8--------------8-----------|--8--------------------------8------|
G|--9--------------9-----------|--9--------------------------9------|
D|-10-------------10-----------|--9--------------------------9------|
A|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|

   Am                             F
E|--5--------------5-----------|--1---------------1-----------------|
B|--5--------------5-----------|--1---------------1-----------------|
G|--5--------------5-----------|--2---------------2-----------------|
D|--7--------------7-----------|--3---------------3-----------------|
A|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|

And another guitar comes in with the
electric guitar with these fills:
    C
E|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
D|----------------------12/14--|------------------------------------|

D|--------------------12h14h12-|---10----10-------------------------|
A|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|

Chours:

E|-0--0--0---0--0--0----0|-1--1--1---1--1--1--1--------3--1---------|

During the chorus, the bottom E note of the above
is doubled by an overdriven guitar, which might actually be the bass.

No Picture Wacko Average	#1 by Wacko Jacko at Apr 15, 1971 at 5:41 PM EST
	i belive it's about a guy who's looked over his past relationship even though he's still offering her love. there's no way of retrieving it, he was warned. sonnet for her

No Picture Troy Wanna Be	#2 by Troy Erskine at Nov 2, 1975 at 3:01 PM EST
	sounds to me more like this song is about someone that he loved but is now dead. "My friend and me Looking through her red box of memories" He still thinks that shes with him but hes looking through all her old stuff "Eyes open wide Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye" He looks up and believes that she is up there in heaven and he feels sad to be parted from her "Dreaming about the day when I can see you there" Dreaming about the day he can see her in heaven And he also keeps saying my lord.. as if he is talking to god... well thats what i thought when i read it.. who knows whether thats what its really about

No Picture December Underg Average	#3 by December Underground at Apr 13, 1979 at 10:55 PM EST
	this song is gorgeous. and sounds like a sonnet would be if i had to guess what one would sound like to music, which kinda makes the "don't sound like no sonnet" a bit ironic.

No Picture I BAKE YOU MUFF Average	#4 by I BAKE YOU MUFFIN at Feb 25, 1994 at 8:48 AM EST
	shame it isnt actually a sonnet. good anyway

No Picture chris Average	#5 by chris at Feb 12, 1998 at 4:38 AM EST
	well, I listened to this song many times when I was really heartbroken when someone I cared for didn`t want me..... To me it was all about hope and being positive and being happy with myself even if things are hurting right now. Either way its a terrific heartfelt song :-)
