Tom : Em

[Intro]
Em B C G
Guitar 2 (or organ) fades-in on last beat of intro
riff 1
Verse
Em B C G
In my silence I would love to forget
Em B C G
But restitution hasn't come quite yet
D
And with one accord I keep moving forth
Em C5
I stretch my heart to heal some more
Chorus
G Em C5
It used to be all I wanted to learn
G ****
Was wisdom trust and truth
G Em C5
But now all I really want to learn
G
Is forgiveness for you
then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as riff 1
riff 2
( pitiful attempt at repeat sign )
play what's in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box

Verse

[Refrão]
Em B C G
As my seasons change I've now grown to know
Em B C G
When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
D
So I wash away stains of yesterday
Em C5
Then tempt my heart with love's display
(Play Chorus again)
Guitar interlude (couldn't quite call this a solo!)

[Próxima Parte]
It sounds approximately right to me
(again, there's that
famous repeat sign)

*play last chord very
gently*
Chorus w/acoustic guitar (no break with muting)
Rest of band kicks-in still with chorus (break with muting)
Play chorus chords (no vocals or break w/ muting) 3 times
Well, I did as good as I could...
This truly is a great song. But I was disappointed that, like the other songs on "Disciplined
Breakdown",
there are no real solos. Ross Childress is an extremely talented guitarist, Why don't they let
him solo?
It would make the great tunes even better.
P.S - Comments, Questions, improvements; welcome and appreciated!
