It sounds excellent when a band can play all the parts. It's pretty much a jam song, so I'll tab no solos. Just jam in E minor. Intro: Our love shines, like a diamond mine (At this point the organ and bass come in playing the following) Em A C D | | | | :| x2 The bass plays the following riff in the first two verses and middle solo: Em G----------------------------------- D----------------------------------- A-------0--2p0--------0--2p0-------- E-0--3----------0--3---------------- Of course, the bass plays it one string higher for the Am lines. Play the Em riff 4x with some organ doodling Verse: (no guitar plays here, just the bass, organ and drums) Em You say the party's over But like a drunken fool I never know when to leave Am It's just that in the eyes of this beholder Em You mean everything to me (The lead guitar w/tube distortion enters here with some hot licks in E minor, while the bass/organ stay on Em for 4 bars) Em You say that you don't love me Yeah, you talk about the other bous and you laugh in my face Am But I know when you're feeling sad and lonely Em No other boy can take my place Em . . . . e---------------------------------0----0--0-----0----0-------- B---------------------------------0----0--0-----0----0-------- G---------------------------------0----0--0-----0----0-------- D---------------------------------2----2--2-----2----2-------- A-------------------------------2-2----2--2-----2----2-------- E-------------------------------0-0----0--0-----0----0-------- Yeah, you say that you don't love me Yeah... . . . . e-----------------------------------0----0--0-----0----0-------- B-----------------------------------0----0--0-----0----0-------- G-----------------------------------0----0--0-----0----0-------- D-----------------------------------2----2--2-----2----2-------- A---------------------------------2-2----2--2-----2----2-------- E---------------------------------0-0----0--0-----0----0-------- ...other boys and you laugh in my face Am e------------------------------------------------------------- B------------------------------------------0h1--0h1-0--------- G--------------------------0h2-0h2-0~------0h2--0h2-0-2p0----- D------------------------------------------------------------- A--------------------------------------0---------------------- E------------------------------------------------------------- But I know... sad and lonely Em . . . . e-----------------------------0----0--0-----0----0-------- B-----------------------------0----0--0-----0----0-------- G-----------------------------0----0--0-----0----0-------- D-----------------------------2----2--2-----2----2-------- A---------------------------2-2----2--2-----2----2-------- E--0------------------------0-0----0--0-----0----0-------- No other boy can take my place Chorus: C Bm A But when I look into your eyes, Em A C Our love shines Em A C D Yeah our love shines, like a diamond mine (lead) C Bm A e-----0~----------------------------------0~--------- B-----1~-------3~----------------------2--2~--------- G-----0~-------4~-------------------2---------------- D-----2~-------4~----------------2------------------- A-0-2-3~-------2~-------------0---------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- When I look into your eyes Em A C e---0~-------0~------0~-------------------------------- B---0~-------2~------1~-------------------------------- G---0~-------2~------0~----------0--------0-----0------ D---2~-------2~------2~-------2--------0--------------- A---2~-------0~------3~----3--------2--------0--------- E---0~------------------------------------------------- Our love shi -

When the solo is done, 4 more measures of just drums. Verse: (ONLY BASS) Em I hear all these rumours about you Yeah, the trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news Am But all it does is make me kinda wonder Em Why are people so eager to be so cruel (Over the first two lines of this verse, the bass does a REALLY COOL riff:) G------------------------------------------------------- D------------------------------------------------------- A-------/7~-------------------------2h3p2h3p2---2------- E--0~-----------------------------------------3---3-0--- I hear all these rumours about you G------------------------------------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------------------------------------ A----------------------------------------------------/7~---2h3-2h3-2----- E------0~-------------------/7~--------------------------------------3-0- The trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news (The next 2 lines are arranged like the first verse.)
