Where To Begin

this is an adaptation of lament01’s tab . neither his nor mine is entirely accurate , but i made a few changes and clarifications that i thought might be helpful to others . this is how i play it . again : this is not an exact transcription , but an acoustic adaptation ( capo on 6th fret ) note : don’t play the top ’e’ string throughout; it just sounds bad chords used : C ( 032010 ) Cadd6 ( 032210 ) D ( 200232 ) Em ( 022000 ) G ( 320033 ) also , throughout the song there is a little flourish that comes at the end of some of the lines . i’ve tabbed it as "g C g" but it’s easiest to play by just moving the fingers you’ve got on the low E and a strings up and then back down , like this : E | - x - - - x - - - x - - | B | - 3 - - - 3 - - - 2 - - | G | - 0 - - - 0 - - - 0 - - | D | - 0 - - - 2 - - - 0 - - | A | - 2 - - - 3 - - - 2 - - | E | - 3 - - - 0 - - - 3 - - | Intro : E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | B | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | G | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | D | - - - - - - 0h2p0 - - - | x 4 A | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | E | - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - | followed by : C Cadd6 C Cadd6 C Cadd6 C Cadd6 G C G x 2 ( you can get away with doing the G as ( 320010 ) if you want - - basically taking the top two fingers of A C and moving them one string down ) G up and up and up i climb , when i came up i was so far behind , C my head takes a lickin’ , but my heart keeps on tickin , G C G just the same . C always startin’ over but somehow , G C G i always know where to begin . G round and round and round i ride , and just when i looked i hadn’t even began , C to feel the effect , a cool , dark fever , G C G on the brain . C that feelin’ takin’ over , like a holy rollercoaster , G C G to the grave . Em how can i await the day? D and last the night i’m here to see? Em D how do i await the mother load? Em G C G it’s the art of feeling naked in your clothes . G again , again , again i tried , that’s how i knew i would never be denied , C that face in the mirror , G C G who could it be? it was my own . C that cool , dark figure , G C G that’s when i knew i was alone . G on and on and on i drive , when will i know i have finally arrived? C so far i’ve gone , so far to go , G C G it never ends . C G C G always starting over but somehow i always know where to begin C G C G always starting over but somehow i always know where to begin C G C G always starting over but somehow i always know where to begin
