From TOB's fourth album, See The Ocean Blue. Tab by Dan Marx. E-mail aktiondan*yahoo.com January 16th 2000. This song has been one that I have wanted to figure out for a long time. I think its pretty close. There has been some discrepancy as to the chord names. A C#m and an Amaj7 have the identical fingering except with the C#m you're not suppose to play the 5th string. They sound practically the same though. Does that clear anything up? You can throw your pinky up on the 4th fret of the 1st string during the "behind" parts for a more complete sound.
