save me i’m yours, better way to play it
by gene 


// do as martin says, sing this song to your children

ho = hammer off… you slam your finger down on that string
po = pull off… you gently pluck the string while holding the string down on a lower fret with another finger
~~ means slide from one fret to another

here are some bar chord variations you’ll need, prepare for finger yoga:

 	BM	C#m	F#m 	G#m	AM	BM
e----------0---------0---------0----------0---------0---------0-------------------------------------------------------------
b----------4---------5---------0----------0---------0---------0------------------------------------------------------------
g----------4---------6---------6----------8---------6---------8------------------------------------------------------------
d----------4---------6---------4----------6---------7---------9------------------------------------------------------------

                                    that first BMajor chord is the first of the verse


                                                C#m                        BM                      F#m                    BM  
Don't turn the light off and leave me

                                          G#m                         AM                           F#m                   BM
This bed feels cold and empty

                                               C#m                        BM                               
The ghosts will come and get me

                                 F#m                  BM    
Won't you please stay here I'm scared

                         G#m               AM
I need you to save me I'm scared

(the same as PART B of the intro)


So sorry to be trouble
But this room is like a gaol
In the arms of love all fail
So won't you please stay here I'm scared
I need you to save me I'm scared


(for this part I use regular bar chords and not the open strings)
G#m                  C#m                AM              BM
G#m                  C#m                AM              BM


(right here there’s a small guitar solo, just ask me if you want it tabbed out)


Don't turn the light off and leave me
Without love I am empty
You're the only one who'll have me
So won't you please stay here I'm scared
I need you to save me I'm so scared


                                                                      scott
