(w/Rhy. Fig. 1)
Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know

It isn't a great deal but there's a little mistake in the intro, i'll correct it (it's on the first G part) This is how it goes G E|---------3---------------------------| B|-----------3-------------------------| G|-------0-----0-------0-----0---------| D|-----0-------------2-----0-----------| A|---2-----------0-3-----2------3-2----| E|-3-----------------------------------| That's just it... Thanx anyway it's a great tab for a great song!!! Congrats
