Album: Words In Place Of Objects. Artist: Aneiki Transcribed by: Shaun Connellan. I tabbed this entire album months ago... And promptly lost all the pieces of paper, having moved twice since. So, I've completely re-transcibed it, as it appears on the album. This was a lot of work... enjoy. -==============================================- Track 1: Even Without You. (J. Waite, G. Wallis, J. Stadling, T. Axelsson, T. Eckman, C. Sandelin) -==============================================- Intro: I II e)------------------------------------------------------------- B)--------*7-----------------------*7----------------*7-------- G)-----------*7-----------------*5----*7----------------*7----- D)-*7-*7--------*7-----*7--*7----------------*7-*7--------*7--- A)------------------------------------------------------------- E)------------------------------------------------------------- *Harmonics (Just touch the string lightly above the fret, don't press it to the fretboard) Lyric, at 'II': 'On and on and on and on' Verse 1: D I'll bet you can't believe it, Yeah it's been so long. F You're asking me how my life's been, You're asking me what went wrong. Pre-chorus: F A And now you're standing here before me, And I don't know what to say, F D In all your unforgiven glory, You're looking just the same. Chorus: D Dsus4 *D5 D Life goes on and on and on, even without you. D Dsus4 *D5 D Life goes on and on and on, I forgot all about you. Dsus4 *D5 D And the way we used to be, and how you let it fall on me. D Dsus4 *D5 D Life goes on and on and on and on, on and on and on, even without you. *I'm not sure of the name of this chord, I think it might be an open D5, as it has no third. here is the chord in question: e)--5--- B)--3--- G)--2--- D)--0--- A)--0--- E)--0--- Verse 2: You know I don't like sequels, Never quite as good. You're trying to sell that same old story, but everybody's read that book.

You shouldn't have to take your finger off the fret to do the bending in this solo, but if you can't do it, you can hammer on and off of fret 17. (Doesn't sound quite as good, though) If you can't reach those frets on your guitar, you can also play it like this: e--7s>-12h-----14-15-14----12h--------------------------------14-15-14----12h- B---------------------------------13--12--*b13-12b13-12b13-------------------- G----------------------------------------------------------------------------- D----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A----------------------------------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Repeat intro (Harmonics) x2 Last chorus: Life goes on and on and on, even without you.
