For Guitarists

Safe in Sorrow

Tabs by Sandy Manson


I think the album version's in a different key, so capo the second fret
if you want to play along with the record. This one's got an Al Green feel,
so get those shuffle shoes on...

I'm not trying to say

(as before)
   We look at the world 
   And see it's bigger than we'll be
   Take a look at the stars
   They shine so free
   You've been down on your knees
   Building up a big brick wall
   Too scared to fly
   so you'll never fall
   You're safe in sorrow.
   So turn on the light
   I'll make you feel
   That all of tonight
   Is realer than real.

F ---------------- E -------
Open your arms and let me in

F -----------------------
Don't stay safe from harm

---- E -------
Let love begin

--------- D --              
Take that ride

------------------ D/F#              
There's no need to hide

-- G ------------
So safe in sorrow


(as before)
   You've been down on your knees
   Building up a big brick wall
   Too scared to fly so you'll never fall
   You're safe in sorrow.
   Just open your eyes
   Then you will see
   There's no need to be
   So safe in sorrow
   Let me turn on the light
   Then you will see
   My love is for free



-------G----------------C--
You're safe from sorrow now.
