Order of Song:

Verse 1: (use verse riff)
Tell me brother tell me
Where have you been to?
You know you've been gone a while
And I prayed you'd make it through
If I never said it, you'd make it through
And I hope you know my friend that your place is next to mine
Chorus (chords over above bass line)

Verse 2:
Forgive me my friend
If I don't hear you right,
I won't always understand
The darkness of your night
But if my love isn't bigger than your fears
The day that you come back home, I will gladly say through tears
Chorus

Heavy lead-in x8 **(play the lead part the last four times)
Chorus
Note: There is a second guitar using a Wah, but the parts are so simple that I didn't bother
to tab it. If you want to play it, just play a high F# and rock the pedal the pedal with the
beat.
