Simon Paul – For Emily tab

THE PICKING PATTERN:

B-2-(3+1)-2-B-2-(3+1)-2

Where B is the lowest bass note, as indicated in the above chord charts. 
(3+1) indicates that the 3 and the 1 are plucked simultaneously.  As you
may have guessed, all of the above strings get 1/8 note.

This pattern is consistent throughout the song
Intro: /D5/G5/D5/G5


THE SONG:

Intro: /D5.../G5.../D5.../G5.../

(D5) What a dream I had,(G) pressed in (Fig 1) organdy
(D) Clothed in crinoline (Cmaj7) of smokey burgandy
(G) Softer than the (A) rain

I wanderd empty streets, down past the shop display
I heard cathedral bells, tripping down the alley-way
As I walked on

And when you ran to me, your checks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

(instrumental)

And when I awoke and felt your warm and near
I kissed your honey hair, with my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl

(Cmaj7) Oh (G) how I love you (A) girl


THE FIGURES:
Each dash represents 1/16th note.  I have tried to be exact in this to make
it easier.

s - strum
r - strum, with a slight ritard (normally notated by a wavy down arrow next
to the chord)
p - pluck
