For Guitarists

Let Your Love Decide

Tabs by Stuart Matthews
Notes: Not a guitar song, you say? Well, not the way it was arranged by Sakamoto and Roddy on "Dreamland." But every Roddy Frame song is a guitar song at its roots, and this is no exception.

This is a fun arrangement of a beautiful song. I used this arrangement for the version of this song that will appear on Orange Olive's debut CD "It Rains Here" in March (thanks for letting us do it, Roddy!) ... Have fun with it!

Well when I've questioned

---------------------------
All I could and come undone

-------- D7 -----------
And only sadness stands

D7sus4(-3)------------
Between me and the sun

----------- Gmaj7 --------------
When loving leaves and leaves me

-------------- Gm6
Waiting on the one

------ Dmaj7 ----------
And my heart can't hide

From surprise, I open my eyes ----

Well when I saw you in the spring

-----------------
You caught my eye

D7 ------------------------- D7sus4(-3)
Eluded me and made me wonder why ------

------ Gmaj7 --------------------- Gm6
An unassuming, undermining kind of guy

----- Dmaj7 -------------
Could not be on your side

------------- A11 -------------------
And when your blue eyes with my green

------ A13 ---
Did so collide

- G/D ------------------ Bb/D -----
I sat by your side and I shied away

-------------- Dmaj7 -----
And I let your love decide

---------- D7 -------- D7sus4(-3)
I let your love decide ----------

I let your love decide ----------------

Verse 3:
----------- Dmaj7 -----------------
Well if the world was like I wished

----------------
When I was young

------------ D7 ----------------------
When all the things that I had thought

-------------- D7sus4 (-3)
Could still be done ------

------------- Gmaj7 ------
When we could win the wars

----------------------- Gm6
And wars could still be won

------------ Dmaj7 --
And I didn't miss you

------------ A11 ----------------
And when the world was opening up

------ A13 ------------- G/D --- Bb/D
Like a father to his son ------------

----------- Dmaj7 --
And I could kiss you

------------- D7 -------- D7sus4(-3)
Well let your love decide ----------

Well let your love decide

Let your love decide ------------
