For Guitarists

Backwards and Forwards

Tabs by Sandy Manson

Roddy's hand-written tabs, which were swiped from a show at Ronnie Scott's.

Verses 1 and 2:

C -------------------------------
Craze my hair and shine my shoes,

------------ Am -------------- G ---
And kiss the kiss that I could lose,

----- C -------------- E ---
And I looked at what I have,

---------- F -------
And I have one wish,

----- C ----------------- E ---
And I looked back in your eyes,

-------------- F ---------- F/G
And there were two words,

------------- C -------
Backwards and forwards.



Bridge:

A7 ----------------------------- Dm ------ A7 ---- Dm
How come when I'm gone I get the blues?

Bbmaj7 -------------------- F ------------
Or something special that I might confuse,

Bbmaj7 ---------------------- F -------------
With getting gifts I'm not at liberty to use.

---- Gm ------------------ A ----------------
It's cold to the touch and older than I know,

------------ Bb ---------------------
And when the world's with me too much,

--------- C --------------- C# --
I say she comes and then it goes. 



Solo:

It starts in D, but you're on your own...



Verse 3: (change to key of D)

D ------------------------------
Could completeness still appeal,

---------- Bm ------------------ A ---
To one who thinks what he should feel?

------ D -------------- F# --
And it stares me in the face,

------------ G ---------
And holds me speechless,

----- D --------------- F# --
And I look back in your eyes,

------------ G --------
And see your eyes gaze,

-------- E ------------------
See your eyes gaze into mine,

A --------------
------- Forever.



Outro:

D / F# / Em / A/ G / A 
repeat to fade.......
