 Bbmaj7    Bb7            Ebmaj7   Daug
I waited 'til I saw the sun
Gm7          C7       F7sus   Bb
I don't know why I didn't come
Bbmaj7      Bb7       Ebmaj7   Daug
I left you by the house of fun
Gm7          C7     F7sus     Bb
I don't know why I didn't come
  Gm7        C7             F7sus
I don't know why I didn't come
Bbmaj7  Bb7     Ebmaj7    Daug
When I saw the break of day
Gm7           C7      F7sus    Bb
I wished that I could fly away
    Bbmaj7    Bb7   Ebmaj    Daug
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Gm7      C7        F7sus   Bb
Catching teardrops in my hand
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       Gm7  C7           F    F7
My heart is drenched in wine
       Gm7    C7          F7
But you'll be on my mind
F7/Eb   Bb/D     F/C
For       ev         er
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Bbmaj7      Bb7        Ebmaj7     Daug
Out       across the endless sea
Gm7     C7       F7sus      Bb
I would die in ecstasy
Bbmaj7   Bb7     Ebmaj7        Daug
But I'll     be a bag of bones
Gm7        C7         F7sus  Bb
Driving down the road alone
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Gm7         C7           F     F7
My heart is drenched in wine
    Gm7      C7      F7
But you'll be on my mind

For   ev  er
 
Bbmaj7       Bb7         Ebmaj7   Daug
Something has to make you run
Gm7          C7       F7sus    Bb
I don't know why I didn't come
Bbmaj7     Bb7     Ebmaj7    Daug
I feel as empty as a drum
Gm7          C7      F7        Bb
I don't know why I didn't come
  Gm7        C7              F7  Bb
I don't know why I didn't come
   Gm7       C7      F7sus   Bb
I don't know why I didn't come

Great tab! Seems to be almost correct and in the same key as the album version. Only thing I don't get is the second "But you'll be on my mind forever" - I just play the descending bassline over F like in the first part again. Dashrockstone: you're right. I like to play the chords like this, I find they flow into eachother very nicely: Bbmaj7[tab][/tab]6X776X or 6XX765 Bb7[tab][/tab]6X676X or 6XX754 Ebmaj7[tab][/tab]X6878X D+[tab][/tab]X5877X Gm7[tab][/tab]3X333X C7[tab][/tab]X3231X Fsus[tab][/tab]131311 Bb[tab][/tab]X1333X

Quick reminder for myself : D7 (5th fret) sounds as good but easier to play
