Coming Home
The Tea Party
tabbed by Chris Marks

I haven't been satisfied with the other tabbings for this song, so here's 
mine.  Everywhere I see this is the wrong tuning, but I don't care, it's
easy to play this song in this tuning.  So here it is, right or wrong:

tuning: DADFAD
I ran out of single digit numbers for the solo, so a=10, b=11, c=12, etc...

Intro:
(this first beat is also the last beat of the last bar, it just loops back)
acoustic
D\----|----0-2---------|----------------|----------------|------------\
A\----|0-23----3-0-----|----------------|----------------|------------\

D\----|----------------|------0-2~~~~~~~|0-2-----------2-|0---0-2-0---\
A\----|----------------|----------------|----------------|--3---------\
D\0---|----------------|----------------|----------------|------------\

fourth time through, an electric with distortion adds this:

Now, here's the words to this great song:

Verse 1:
When frightened by change
Serenity clings to my sleep
And wonders remain
Their world will inherit its meek
And wicked's the taste
You feel when the mysteries arise
I've fallen from grace
Because of her treacherous eyes you don't know

Prechorus:
So alone
So alone
So alone
And that's why I'm coming home

Chorus:
I'm coming home
She's so alone
I'm coming home

Verse 2:
And beauty's disdain
Attends to these virtuous lies
She tries to restrain
The ardent and amorous eyes
And wicked's the taste
You feel when the mysteries arise
I've fallen from grace
Because of her treacherous eyes you don't know

Prechorus:
So alone
So alone
So alone
And that's why I'm coming home

Chorus:
I'm coming home
She's so alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Bridge:
She's without
She's without
She's so alone, Woah yeah
Oh yeah
Ah yeah
Ah yeah

[solo]

So alone
She's so alone
So alone
She's so alone
And that's why I'm coming home

Outro chorus:
I'm coming home
She's so alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
She's without  (vocals start to fade)
She's so alone
I'm coming home
Yeah I'm alone
I'm coming home
She's so alone
I'm coming home... (vocals have now faded out)
