Love You 'Til the Day I Die
(N. Finn)

NOTES:

-- Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex.  I
was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed
on two chords.  However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks
and "side chords" in between to make things interesting.  (for exam-
ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this:  X7978[10].)  I would
suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.

-- The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky
in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti-
fully.   




INTRO:   B7*  Em*  B7  Em  B7  Em

B7
There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
     Em
That never see the light of day
B7
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
        Em
Just to see the look that's on your face
B7
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
      Em
So forgive me if I tell a lie
B7
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
       Em
I will love you till the day I die

[*** NOTE:  See below for guitar tab for this chorus]
Em  G        F#m           A        Em  G  F#m  A
I believe in doing things backwards
Em   G           F#m               A      Em  G  F#m  A
Take heed, start doing things in reverse


Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax
I'm talking to myself you're coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you till the day I die

I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse

Em                       B*
Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain
G/B*                 G(11)/B*
All makes me glad of you
C                B          C              Em  G  F#m  A
Though I am far away I am always with you

Em       G        F#m               A
Know the answer before you know the question
Em
Pull yourself together, baby, push with all your might
Em      B     G/B      G(11)/B
I'm all alone, always alone
C                B
Though I am far away
       C         B(VII)
I am always with you
