D(-5): xx0234
(I think that's what the chord is called.  Pink Floyd's 'Crying Song'
from the album "More" uses the same chord and the tab for the song calls
the chord 'D(-5)' so that's what I called it.)

Intro:
D(-5) / / / / / / /
Em / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

D
Summer princess, midnight maiden
F
When I first saw you I just breathed
C
Into your smile my past went fadin'
D
Inside your voice, my mind was sheathed
        F
In lost lagoon, we waited, wadin'
          Em
Along the streets we went paradin'
      D
Never looking back to where we'd been

(repeat intro)

Verse 2:
Autumn temptress, sundown angel
Inside your blood you aren't so young
I came to you a loving vandal
And heard your heart and touched your tongue
Day became a lighted candle
Sky fell down beneath your sandal
In your eye I began to spin

(repeat intro)

Verse 3:
Winter harlot, moontime lover
I can't speak when I feel this way
Don't keep your feelings undercover
Tell me what you want today
Don't leave me in the air to hover
Sing it out don't make me suffer
Don't be ashamed love is no sin

(repeat intro)

Verse 4:
Springtime woman, sunrise girl
I am hiding behind the sea
Trick or treat, the Hallowe'en world
Hide and seek but you can't catch me
I won't chase you until you hurl
Your wing to me, and make me twirl
You're alive underneath my skin

(repeat intro, end cold on first Em)

G: 320033
Cadd9: x32033

Intro:
G / / / Cadd9 / / / (x2)

Verse 1:

G                           Cadd9        G  Cadd9
Although you've spoken many times before
G                              Cadd9     G  Cadd9
A sight of birth he leaves you by a door
G                           Am
And now you know he doesn't understand
G                       Am
And all you need is the warmth of his hand

G / / / Cadd9 / / / G / / / Cadd9 / / /

Verse 2:

And if he'd smile your loving blood would dance
One silent kiss leaves you in a trance
And now you know you cannot live alone
And now you know your future is unknown
C           D
One day the questions die
C           D              Dsus4
On wings of chance you fly

G / / / Cadd9 / / / G / / / Cadd9 / / /

And on that day our laughs and tears will rise
And fall as free as seabirds climb the skies
And you will love when love comes your way
And when it comes there's nothing more to say
G                          Am
And now you know you don't need his hand
Em                         C
And now you know you don't have to understand
C           D
One day the questions die
C           D              Dsus4
On wings of chance you fly

G / / / C / / / G

Verse 1:
G                      Cm
Just for you with your open hands
F               G     D  G
Waiting for the touch of man
(G)                 Cm
Clutching with your blackened gloves
F                  G   D   G
You try to capture all the doves
     G    D G
That flee into
    Cm       G
The forest before you

Verse 2:
You wish to catch and cage me now
I wonder if you remember how
Hard it was to say the names
Of mirror dreams and cheated games
And on the wall
You framed your first lover

Verse 3:
Your form intrigues me with the glow
I'll remember you I know
Though I forgot to lock the chain
Around you with a prayer for rain
To bring the call
To drive you back into my bed

D
Ahhh....
She turns away
Telling me to follow for a while
Ahhh....
She waits

Cm                  D
You'd be touched if you would touch
Cm           D
But you only reach and taunt
G                  Cm
Will my taste stay grey and blue
F           G    D    G
If I try to turn from you

N.C.
Aren't you the girl who used to call me names?
Aren't you the girl who used to play at games?
G                       F
Weren't you the one who said she'd never fall?
C                        D
Now you're the one who's cryin' not so tall

Chorus:
     G              F
Oh I know what it's like
     C                      D  Dsus4
It's happened many times to me
          G
Oh do you ache inside
        F
Do your eyes wanna cry?
       C             D / F / D / F /
Do you want me back again?

Verse 2:
Yes, you're the one
Shall I throw you a crumb?
Shall I come and pass you by?
Would that make you wanna try?
Shall I come and kiss your lips?
Would that make your game slip?
Shall I come and dry your eyes?
Will that make you realize?

(chorus)

Verse 3:
Aren't you the girl who used to call me names?
Aren't you the girl who used to play at games?
Weren't you the one who used to run and hide?
Now you're the one who's cryin' way inside

(chorus)
(end cold on a D)

***
In case you didn't notice, almost the entire song is G F C D.

Intro:
Em / / / D / / / Em / / / D / / /

Verse 1:
G              D
And it happens every time
C                 D
Give my love, she leaves me behind
G               D
Yes, it happens every time
C                   D
The sorrow makes me lose my mind

Em / / / D             C             D
         If she'd only be as true as I am
Em / / / D          C                 D
         And listen to my love that's sayin'

Verse 2:
Oh baby won't you stay mine
Your lovin' makes me feel so fine
And someday baby you'll find
My love was gentle and kind

Someday you'll know that leaving me was wrong
But don't bother all that time is gone

Verse 3:
And it happens every time
Now I know it's not worth the tryin'
So baby don't turn around
Let my tears fall to the ground

If she'd only be as true as I am
And listen to my love that's sayin'
Em / / / D        C / / / / / / / D
         Oh Oh Oh Oh....

(end)

Verse 1:

(A)            G          D         A
You've got the untortured mind of a woman
        G                D           A
Who has answered all the questions before
               G           D         A
You've got the free-givin' ways of a woman
        G              D                 A    /G /F# /E
Who has kicked all the heartache out the door

Chorus:
    D       A         B

D       A         B            (riff 1)

Verse 2:
I brought to you my tired clothes and weary faith to you
And with a smile you took me in and showed me love again
Now it has to be to say good-bye or stay and I don't know
But remember please I gave you love that's only mine to give

(chorus)

Verse 3:
Yes, I truly love to be with you
If I wasn't with the one that I'm with.
Yes, I truly love to lie by you
If I didn't have to give what I give.

(chorus)

(repeat verse 2)

(chorus, after final riff end on an A)
****

The guitar is fingerpicked, and sounds like barre chords,
especially for the chorus.
Listen to the song, and you'll know what I mean.

D
I've got ten thousand troubles, a million woes
Got grief in my soul nobody knows

      E
I've got heartache
      B                                 A
I got stingin' water fallin' out of the sky
      F#
I've got heartbreak
        A
I got a long lost lover, got a reason to die

I've got ten thousand troubles, a million woes
Got grief in my soul nobody knows

I've got sorrow
I'm in a storm that'll spare no travelin' man
I fear tomorrow
Got a love that died long before it began

I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes
Got grief in my soul nobody knows

(instrumental verse)

I've got ten thousand troubles, a million woes
Got grief in my soul nobody knows

I've got a cold chain
I got rain fallin' on my head from up above
I've got a bad pain
I got a gal don't know the meaning of love

I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes
Got grief in my soul nobody knows

I've got heartache
I got stingin' water fallin' out of the sky
I've got heartbreak
I got a long lost lover, got a reason to die

I've got ten thousand troubles, a million woes
Got grief in my soul nobody knows

(D to end)
**********

That's just what the rhythm guitar is playing.
There are more little riffs and things going on.
It also sounds good if you play 7th chords.

D / A / C / / / D / / / D / / / (with suspensions)

Verse 1:
D                   Dm
She is the day that gives me time
C                  D
To live and linger love my life
D                        F#m
Till night comes on with sundown scythe
   G                A
To end the pause of pantomime
D / A / C                 D
        She is the day of love

Verse 2:
She is the bridge on which I wait
To watch the river 'neath me flow
All spinning, surging far below
Along the deep and bending straits
She is a bridge of love

Verse 3:
She is the air I breathe entranced
Awake or sleep in storm or calm
A wind to wash my lifted palm
A sky that calls me out to dance
She is the air of love

Bridge:
Bm                     F#m
She is the day through which I walk
G                           A
Toward the bridge where she stands
Bm               F#m
She is the air I breathe to sing
G                      A
She is a smile without demands

Verse 4:
She is a smile that keeps me warm
With matchless laughter, eyes ablaze
A mischief mystery she plays
Upon the flute of early morn
She is a smile of love
C                 D
She is the air of love
C                    D
She is the day....of love
