Class song by an Irish musician called Bribry (Brian OReilly). Check him out on Youtube. I don't know if this is exactly how he plays it, but I find it works well enough for me. Stick a capo on about the 7th fret, depending on how high/low you sing. Standard tuning Tab: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0-------------| -----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2------3----------3-----(2)| -----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------0-----0-----0-----(0)--| --0-----0-----0-----0-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------2-----2-----2-----2-----0-----0-----0-----0-----------------------------| This refrain repeats throughout the song and its as simple as that =) The last two notes in brackets don't necessarily have to be played but I find it keeps the rhythm going before starting at the beginning of the refrain again. If you feeling like changing it up a little, I sometimes play this in chorus instead of the above: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-| -----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| --0-----0-----0-----0-----2-----2-----2-----2----------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------2-----2-----2-----2-----0-----0-----0-----0----| Lyrics: I've been writing love songs for as long as I know But now I'm finally speechless, you've shut me up And failure's not an option this time I can see my mother's face, she's sick of break up stuff Every kiss feels like the first Each goodbye like the last Well I don't remember doing selfless good deeds How else would I deserve you? Hopeless romantic since the day I was born But now all the roses are finally justified And cautious move I will do nothing wrong And if this doesn't work at least this time I tried Every kiss feels like the first Each goodbye like the last Well I don't remember saving someone's life How else would I deserve you?
