ABSOLUTELY RIGHT (Les Emmerson)
From the Five Man Electrical Band album Coming Of Age
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As IMHO there is a dearth of tab for seminal Canadian bands (remember the early days of CanCon, 
without which there possibly would be no Bryan Adams, or more importantly, no  Tragically Hip, 
Crash Test Dummies,Alanis, Sarah McLachlan,etc.) I'd like to begin to fill the gap with one of 
the Five Man Electrical Band's post-"Signs" (circa 1973?) tunes. I plan to continue tab in this 
vein, including (hopefully) Fludd, Chilliwack (if anyone can tab their version of Buffy Saint-Marie's 
"Groundhog", I'd be suitably awe-inspired), Lighthouse, April Wine (their rockers, not the cheesy 
ballads),etc.

Intro: A /// D/// A/// D/// G/// E7///
A           D               A                D
Here  I am again mama , I'm knockin' on your door
        A           D                   A           D
If you let me in I swear I won't be the way I was before
                    A                   D        
Don't you know that I've been thinkin' about what you told me
A                D
Rollin' it over in my mind
    A           D
And much to my surprise I find that you were...
 
(chorus)
A          D
Absolutely right

You're absolutely right and I was wrong (fill 1)
A            D
Second time around should be easy
A              D                    A
Break down the walls between me and you 
          D              A        D
So we can see completely how easy love can be
  A                   D
I know it was you who said that you'd believe
          A                       D
If I came crawlin' back to you upon my knees and you were...(to chorus)
A  D   G                   E7
Ah - I wish that you could see
A  D     G             E7
Ah - how bad I want to be
A  D                    G                    E7
Ah - the kind of man to whom you'd give your key (fill 2)
A       D                   A                D       
If you let me in and if the moon comes up on time
            A              D                 A                  D
We could be sittin' by the fire this evening drinkin' home made wine
       A                   D
We can laugh and dance and sing and play
A        D
Love the night away
