Tuning: Double Drop D (DADGBd)
 
Tune e to d
E to D
 
I’m pretty tired of dropping down to BDDDDD to play this song, so I thought I’d tab it
in an easier to get to tuning… with no popping strings (and if you DO pop one… that’s
sad).

And I’d give up forever to touch you
         Bm7           Asus4      G5
‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow
           D         Dsus2       G5
You’re the closest to Heaven that I’ll ever be
      Bm7           Asus4        G5
And I don’t want to go home right now
       D         Dsus2        G5
‘Cause all I can taste is this moment
    Bm7       Asus4          G5
And all I can breathe is your life
    D         Dsus2      G5
And sooner or later it’s over

And I don’t want the world to see me
         Bm7              Asus4              G5
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
     Bm7          Asus4              G5
When everything’s meant to be broken
       Bm7         Asus4      G5
I just want you to know who I am

Chan, pretty good arrangment...but I have to say that you have a flawed understanding of theory, and I want to point this out because you seem to be putting down those who "don't" get theory. I am a musician who knows theory and can read and what not, but I still say the best players rely on their ear. That B min chord voicing is good sounding, but there is no such thing as an augmented third. THat would simply be a 4th. The chord (as you tabbed it) is spelled xBDADD, which make the following chord tones: B=Root; D=flatted third (i.e. minor third); and A= flatted 7th. That spells out a simple tun of the mill B minor 7th chord thats lacking a 5th (which it doesn't need it anyway). Don't confuse people here who are actually trying to learn theory. That's my understanding anyway, and I'm been a trained musician with a performance degree. I've never heard of an Augmented 3rd!!! Good work on the tab though Chan, but less lecturing next time - especially when you're talking smack about stuff you don't know about.

Very nice, sounds good...I was looking for a simple alternate tuning for this song, easy in-easy out when sitting in front of a group of people. This fits the bill. Thanks Keep em coming.
