Damone - Wasted Years
 
 
Verse 1:
      Em               G         D
From the coast of gold across the seven seas
    Em           G       D
Im travellin on far and wide
           C                 Em               G
But now it seems Im just a stranger to myself
                D
And all the things I sometimes do
            C
It isnt me but someone else
 
Verse 2:
       Em        G    D
I close my eyes and think of home
      Em              G    D
Another city goes by in the night
         C
Aint it funny how it is,
           Em                       G
You never miss it til its gone away
        D
And my heart is lying there
            C
And will de til my dying day
 
 
Rit:
G Em   C  D   C  Am
So understand
           Em
Dont waste your time always
    D              C
Searching for those wasted years      
 
 
Verse 3:
         Em                G          D
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
     Em             G    D
Cant easy this pain so easily
               C
When you cant find the words to say
      Em                               G
Its hard to make it through another day
                D
And it just makes me wanna cry
              C
And throw my hands up to the sky
 
Rit2:
 
G Em   C  D   C  Am
So understand
       Em
Dont waste your time always
    D              C
Searching for those wasted years
  G  Em     C         D   C  Am
Face up... make your stand   
        Em           D            C
And realise youre living in the golden year
 
 
Solo...
 
 
Rit2.

No it's not a bad tab... the chords are all accurate (it's surprisingly easy in that regard). All that needs adding is the fingerpicking solo at the introduction and the sweet iron maiden licks in the solos...

Here is the bit marked "solo" (all on the high E string - the open notes are plucked excruciatingly quickly, if you struggle replace every 2 of them with 1, makes it a lot easier and still sounds quite nice) 12-0-0-0-0-7-0-0-0-0-8-0-0-0-0-5-0-0-0-0-7-0-0-3-0-0-5-0-0-0-0-2-0-0-0-0-3-0-0-0-0-5-0-0-0-0-2-0-0-3-0-0 now who wants to figure out the fingerpicking intro

Some help to find out the intro: Play the solo of the low E string, leave out the 0's, but use powerchords. The way to play each power chord: E string, then D string then A string. The 5th powerchord is played different (Only E string, but a longer lasting note). Don't mute the notes untill you switch the chord. The last 3 notes before the chord strummed are played differently. If you listen carefully to the bass notes of the intro, it's the same notes as the solo ;) Bass note equals tone of the powerchord played. There are 13 bas notes in the intro (the solo + 1 chord strummed). Good luck to the person tabbing, I figured this out 1 hour ago, and havn't tabbed it yet correctly.
