This is the first song I've tabbed for OLGA so please, bear with me.
Any comments, questions or corrections would greatly be appreciated.
So E-Mail me if you want to!



*****the tone of the instrument which comes in after the intro is so weird-and cool!
I can't tell if it's a guitar or an organ.(it said in the liner notes that a guy played organ for one
song)
In any case I arranged it for guitar.*******


*/*/*/*  NOTE */*/*/*        When **** is next to a chord it means
                                that there are 4 muted 16th note slashes
                                using the G-chord Starting on the 4th beat.
                                Example:        1        2        3        4 e a u
                                                                        / / / /

INTRO


Em                B                C                G


Guitar 2 (or organ) fades-in on last beat of intro


riff 1

E----------------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------|
G-9---11-12-8---11-8-9----------------------------------9--|
D--------------------------10-12-----9-10------------------|
A---------------------------------10-----------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------|


Verse

        Em           B                     C                  G
           In my silence I would love to forget

        Em             B                    C                   G
          But restitution hasn't come quite yet

                   D
        And with one accord I keep moving forth

          Em                                 C5
        I stretch my heart to heal some more


Chorus

        G                          Em              C5
         It used to be all I wanted to learn

                                        G  ****
         Was wisdom trust and truth

        G                               Em             C5
         But now all I really want to learn

                                     G
         Is forgiveness for you


then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as riff 1



riff 2
                                    ( pitiful attempt at repeat sign )
  play what's in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box

E--------------------------------------------------l-------|

G-----9---11-12-8-----11-8-9--------------12-------l---9---|
D------------------------------10-12-----------.---l-------|
A-----------------------------------------10-------l-------|
E--------------------------------------------------l-------|

                                                        *(Not sure about octave
                                                          before repeat)*

Verse

Em                B                     C         G
  As my seasons change I've now grown to know

Em                B                             C                G
  When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe

          D
  So I wash away stains of yesterday

          Em                            C5
  Then tempt my heart with love's display



(Play Chorus again)




Guitar interlude (couldn't quite call this a solo!)
It sounds approximately right to me

                                                                (again, there's that
                                                                famous repeat sign)
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------|l
B---13-13----12-12----10-10-8-8-8-8----13-13----12-12----10-10------------|l
G---12-12----12-12----12-12-9-9-9-9----12-12----12-12----12-12---12-------|l
D----------------------------------------------------------------12-------|l
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------|l
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------|l
                                        *listen for the muted
                                        slashes between each chord*


DRUM BEAT        (4 Bars)


...I think so?


                Finger-pick all this part                   (Oh,come on! You must get the idea by now!)
E------7--------------------7-------------------7---------------3---------|l

G---------------------------------------------------------------4---------|l
D---------------------------------------------------------------5--.------|l
A--------------------------------------3------------------------5---------|l
E---3----------------3------------------------------------------3---------|l

                                                                          *play last chord very gently*

Chorus w/acoustic guitar        (no break with muting)



Rest of band kicks-in still with chorus (break with muting)


Play chorus chords (no vocals or break w/ muting) 3 times




Well, I did as good as I could...

This truly is a great song. But I was disappointed that, like the other songs on "Disciplined
Breakdown",
there are no real solos. Ross Childress is an extremely talented guitarist, Why don't they let him solo?
It would make the great tunes even better.

P.S -        Comments, Questions, improvements; welcome and appreciated!
