Note:
    Chords are played in standard position (A: X02220, G: 320033, D: XX0232)
as you pick arpeggios up and down the strings.  There is also a "tickle" of
the 3rd fret on the high e string during the D chord (making it Dsus4 for a
split second) during the verses.  Listen to the song and you'll hear what I
mean.
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
A                    G
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,
D                        A      lick
Something to make us all happy.
A                    G
Do anything, take us out of this gloom,
       D                          A      lick
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A                       G
You are the one who can make us all laugh,
    D                            A      lick
But doing that, you break out in tears.
A                                G
Please don't be sad, if it was a straight mind you had,
   D                                 A
We wouldn't have known you all these years.

I hate how the same person under different names keeps commenting on the same one tab in a vulgur manner. I mean, come on!?!?! It's obviously the same person, and every time i file a complaint, this moron registers under a different name, and makes stupid or insulting comments. honestly, do you have so little things to occupy your time that you persist in attempting to torment me with these retarded messages? cause the only thing vexing me is having to undo contact the people who run this site in order to undo the ratings and comments making my tab look bad. I mean, it's not even all my stuff: it's one specific tab. seriously, i have to agree with Who66: what ARE you smoking?

Your tab is mostly right except for the solo is definitely not in D major.

not bad but the open D string in the lick should be an open A string.
