Lest we forget the theme to teachers!



organ bit: (play lots, it's effectively the bass)

Under G chord:
1st time|rest of song

A-3---3---3---------|
E-------------------|

Under D chord:
B-----------------|
G---7---7---7---7-|
D-----------------|
A-5---5---5---5---|
E-----------------|


Chord progression:

  G             C
A mile and...to pass you by
G                 C
Day upon day...in this old town
G                C
Hovering...place we better go 
G            C                     D        G
Then I...the cold driven snow


solo:

e-7-10-10-10-8-7-7-7-8-7------|
B------------------------10-8-|
G-----------------------------|

play the above bit twice then play this bit twice:

e-8-7-7----7---|
B-------10---8-|
G--------------|

then:

e-10-10-10-10-8-7-7-7-8-7------|
B-------------------------10-8-|
G------------------------------|

then:

e-7-10-10-10-8-7-7-7-8-7------|
B------------------------10-8-|
G-----------------------------|

then:

e-20-19-19-17-19-15-|-20-19-19-17-15-|
B-------------------|----------------|
G-17-16-16-14-16-12-|-17-16-16-14-12-|
D-------------------|----------------|

then it goes straight into this piano bit:

e-8-7-7----7---|-10-8-7---------10-7-8-7-7---|
B-------10---8-|--------10-8-10------------8-|
G--------------|-----------------------------|

then (still piano):

e-8-7-7--------------10---|
B-------8-8-10-8-8--------|
G------------------7----7-|
D-------------------------|

Eventually (4 minutes odd) there's this piano bit too:

e-10-12-10-12-10-12-10-8-7-10-8-7-|
B---------------------------------|

then:

e-7---8-7-8-7-8-7------7------|
B---8-------------10-8---10-8-|
G-----------------------------|

(play the above two lines of tab twice)

well methinks that's it have fun!
