Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Basically a D where you play around with the G & E string followed by the base line.
This is the same as played in the verse, but with slightly different pattern on the
fiddeling. Listen to the CD to get it right.
I guess I'll show my head
(,,, riff)
Either way I'm losing
Used to have the goods
That when I could use 'em
G (fiddle on the B string 1st fret)
Standing by the ocean
Fmaj7 G D (Sounds awesome if you slide the Fmaj7 figuration up from
1st to 3rd fret as to make out a G)
Like I'm frozen here in time
Chorus
So don't let go, don't change your mind
If the stars fall into the ocean side
Someone hold the ribbons from my eyes, free, my soul
G (Slide 1st to 3rd fret on E string followed by 2nd to 3rd fret and
back on the A string) Fmaj7 move whole fuguration up 2 frets to play a G
Let him roll away
on an invisible riverside
Wrap Up riff x2
I didn't travel far
(,,, riff)
But my feet were moving
Couldn't read the signs
They were too confusing
G (fiddle on the B string 1st fret)
Driving to the ocean
Down the Sunset Boulevard
Bridge riff x2
Chorus
So don't let go, don't change your mind
If the stars fall into the ocean side
Someone hold the ribbons from my eyes, free, my soul
Let him roll away on an invisible riverside
Wrap Up riff x1
Bridge riff
Wrap up riff x2
I wanna lay my head forever on your shoulder
Stay with me my love, now and when we're older
Standing by the ocean, we got nothing now but time
Yes, don't let go, don't change your mind
The stars fall into the ocean side
Someone hold the ribbons from my eyes, free, my soul
Let him roll away on an invisible riverside
