transcribed by Mark Guinn ([email protected]) 11-7-97 This is a cool song. The only difference I can tell between this version and the version on their other CD is that it has an orchestral part instead of a guitar solo. However, not having an orchestra on hand, this is more fun to play. In the intro and the chorus (as well as at random spots elsewhere), chords are played as: -p- D. . Intro: This fill is played before each verse and during the solo.

Everything I do is not enough, not enough for You. Intro x2 (starts on "You") Fill x2 In the garden of my pride, the lamented lime tree Too stupid to cry for rain, fruitless and choked out by weeds So I write a book of life using the best words I can find For some struggler to snuggle up when the world becomes unkind And when the world becomes unkind Chorus Intro x2 Fill x2 Solo (with other guitar playing Fill) NOTE: this is the same chords as the chorus, so play the D's accordingly. Also, there are background singers actually singing the chorus during this verse. I find direction in east-bound clouds, known for what they have But when I step into its midst, its substance I cannot grasp So I paint a portrait of You as if You had human disguise Oil and canvas to be clay, to open up their eyes Like You opened up my eyes Chorus x2 Solo: e|---5---5---5---8-|---8---7---7-----|---5---5---5---5-| B|---5---5---5---5-|---5---5---5-----|---5---5---5---5-| G|---5---5---5---5-|---5---5---5-----|---5---5---5---8-| D|---7---7---7---7-|---7---7---7-----|---7---7---7---7-| A|---7---7---7---7-|---7---7---7-----|---7---7---7---7-| E|-5---+-5-+-5-+-5-|-+-5-+-5-+-5-+---|-5---+-5-+-5-+-5-| e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B|-----------------|----bend---------|-----------------| G|---8---8-7-5-----|-5---7---------5-|-----------------| D|-------------7-5-|---------7-5-7---|---7-5-7-5-------| A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------7-5---| E|-+---+---+---+---|-+---+---+---+---|-+---+---+---+-8-| e|-----------------|-----------------|-----slide-------| B|-----------------|-----------1---0-|---1--13---4-----| G|---h-p-----------|---------------2-|---2--24---3-----| D|---|-|-----------|-----------------|-----------------| A|-5-565---5-------|-----------------|-----------------| E|-+---+-8-+-8-5-3-|-5---8---+---+---|-+---+---+---+---| e|-0-0--0----0-----|-0-0--0----0---0-|---0---0---------| B|-0-1--13---3-----|-0-1--13---3---3-|---1---0---------| G|-2-2--24---4-----|-2-2--24---4---4-|---2---2---------| D|-------^---------|-------^---------|-----------------| A|-----slide-------|-----slide-------|-----------------| E|-+---+---+---+---|-+---+---+---+---|-+---+---+---+---| So I...
