Note: Ok, this song is just piano only. But, I tabbed it into guitar

      chords. Now everyboby knows that piano can play 'melody' (I guess

      that is the correct term) very, very well but guitar is kind of

      hard to do that. Maybe, you can try play it with finger plucking

      on one chord itself. Arr... the intro is kind of hard to catch

      the beat. It is something like this, I'm not sure it could be

      wrong. Anyway, just try it.

 

Intro: Dmaj Gmaj G#/Abmajor A#/Bbmajor G#/Abmajor Gmaj

 

Verse 1:

 

Dmaj

Honey,

 

            Gsus Amaj Dmaj

It's been a long time coming,

 

      Gsus  Amaj Dmaj

And I can't stop now,

 

       Gsus Amaj Dmaj

Such a long time running,

 

      Gsus  Em   Dmaj

And I can't stop now,

 

Riff 1:

 

       Gsus    Amaj   Dmaj

Do you hear my heart beating,

 

        Gsus Emaj Dmaj

Can you hear that sound,

 

        Gsus  Amaj Dmaj

Cause I can't help thinking,

 

       Gsus  A7   Dmaj

That I don't look down,

 

Chorus:

 

         Gsus

And then I looked up at the sun,

 

            Dmaj

And I could see,

 

  Bm                                   Em

The way that gravity turns for you and me,

 

         Gsus

And then I looked up at the sky,

 

            Dmaj

And saw the sun,

 

      Bm                               Em

And the way that gravity turns on everyone,

 

        A7

On everyone,

 

Verse 2:

 

Dmaj

Baby,

 

            Gsus Amaj  Dmaj

It's been a long time waiting,

 

       Gsus  Amaj Dmaj

Such a long, long time,

 

      Gsus  Amaj Dmaj

And I can't stop smiling,

 

     Gsus  Em   Dmaj

No I can't stop now,

 

Riff 2:

 

       Gsus    Amaj  Dmaj

Do you hear my heart beating,

 

          Gsus Em   Dmaj

Oh do you hear that sound,

 

         Gsus  Amaj Dmaj

'Cause I can't stop crying,

 

      Gsus  A7   Dmaj

And I won't look down,

 

Chorus:

 

         Gsus 

And then I looked up at the sun,

 

            Dmaj

And I could see,

 

   Bm

Oh the way that gravity turns,

 

           Em

On you and me,

 

         Gsus

And then I looked at the sun,

 

            Dmaj

And saw the sky,

 

    Bm                                   Em

And the way that gravity pulls on you and I,

 

          A7   

On you and I,

 

Note: In the end, these are the running chords, but there is a piano

      tabs going on at the same time. I think guitar can't do that.

      Can anybody tell me how to strum & pluck at the same time just to

      make it sound like the piano too. So you need two guitarist. One

      will strum & while the other pluck.

 

Ending:

 

Guitar 1: Dmaj Gmaj G#/Abmajor A#/Bbmajor G#/Abmajor Gmaj

 

Guitar 2:

 

e|-11---10-10-10-10-10---8--------------- |

b|----9----------------8---11-11-9-9-8-4- |

G|--------------------------------------- |Repeat this

D|--------------------------------------- |tab two times.

A|--------------------------------------- |

E|--------------------------------------- |

 

Note: For guitar 2, start when guitar 1 play 2nd barr of Dmaj. For

      better understanding listen to the song. Enjoy!
