This is a really great song to listen to. This is my second version with extra
chords and solo's because I got some requests to add them.
I dedicate this TAB to my wife Dawn who I love very much :)
Have fun!

Key to my TAB
P   -   Pull-off: Place both fingers on the notes to be sounded. Strike the
        first note and without picking, pull the finger off to sound the second
        (lower) note.
H   -   Hammer-on: Strike the first (lower) note, then sound the higher note
        with another finger by fretting it withot picking.
P.M.-   Palm-Mute: The note is partially muted by the right hand lightly
        touching the string(s) just before the bridge.
sl  -   Slide: Strike the first note and then slide the same left-hand finger
        up or down to the second note.
~~  -   Vibrato: The string is vibrated by rapidly bending and releasing the
        note with the left hand or tremolo bar.
X   -   Muffled strings: A percussive sound is produced by laying the left hand
        across the strings withouu depressing them and striking them with the
        right hand.
t   -   Tremolo bar: The pitch of the note or chord is dropped or raised a
        specified number of steps using the tremolo bar.
        Example: 7 t< 3 indicates to play the 7th fret and then lower the
        note to the same pitch as the note on the 3rd fret.
sh  -   Semi-Harmonic: The note is fretted normally and a harmonic is produced
        by adding the edge of the thumb or the tip of the index finger on the
        right hand to the normal pick attack. High volume or distortion will
        allow for a greater variety of harmonics.
harm -  Natural harmonic: Strike the note while the left hand lightly touches
        the string over the fret indicated.
T    -  Tapping: Hammer ('tap') the fret indicated with the right hand index
        or middle finger and pull off to the note fretted by the left hand.
X > Y - Strike note X and bend up to Y. The string is hit when Y is reached.
X >(Y)- Strike note X and bend up to Y.
        Example: 5 >(7)>(5) indicates a bend from the 5th fret up to the 7th
        fret and then released back to the 5th. The string is only hit once.
        Ifi you get confused, basically (17) notes aren't picked.
rake  - Drag the pick across the strings with a single downward or upward
        motion.

I`ve been out walking for hours. I`ve got something on my mind.
How did we get here? Where are we going?
And why is life so hard?

I`ve tried to match the words to the place where the chords are played to give
a rough idea of where Joe plays them. But you can get it best if you play it!

              ^This Pull-off is a pull of with the pick.
Joe uses a harmonizer that samples sections of the solo and plays them back
in real time, backwards. This solo is for standard guitar.

A picture of a beautiful face.
And I see something in her eyes.
Sends me to a better place.
Sends me to a better place.
