Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 05:28:19 -0400 From: "Laura Munro" Subject: m/maclean_tara/if_only.tab Song Title: If Only Artist: Tara MacLean Album: If You See Me (1997) Transcribed By: Laura Contact Email: bsbgal82@hotmail.com Tuning: C# F# A# F# A# C# Capo: 4th fret This is my first attempt at 'tabbing' so please don't be too mean if its wrong! And so far I its the only tab I have ever seen of this song, so it is all mine! It's also very rough, I haven't listened to the song all that closely yet, but play around with this and it *should* be fine. I've aligned some of the lyrics with the tab so you get an idea of the bits I'm talking about, so I hope that doesn't wreck the formatting! I saw a video of Tara playing this with a capo on the fourth fret, so I think the tuning's right... It's not a hard song to play, its just the timing at times you have to watch out for - just listen to the recording. Intro: (this is played twice) C#|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A#|---------3--------3--------3--------3--------3--------3--------3-----3--0-| F#|------0--------0--------0--------0--------0--------0--------0-------------| A#|------------3-----------------3-----------------0--------3--------0-------| F#|--0-----------------------------------------------------------------------| C#|---------------------4-----------------2----------------------------------| For the verses, its just the same as the intro: ie: "...Old ballet shoes tossed in the corner..." C#|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A#|---------3--------3--------3--------3--------3--------3--------3-----3--0-| F#|------0--------0--------0--------0--------0--------0--------0-------------| A#|------------3-----------------3-----------------0--------3--------0-------| F#|--0-----------------------------------------------------------------------| C#|---------------------4-----------------2----------------------------------| "...

Email me (bsbgal82@hotmail.com) if you find a better way to play this bit!) C#|----------------------------------------| A#|----------------------------------------| F#|----------------------------------------| A#|-----0-h5-----0-h5-----0-h5-----0-h5----| F#|--2--------2--------2--------2----------| C#|----------------------------------------| "...And the older I get, the more things............."

There you go! I hope there aren't *too* many dodgy bits in there! Please keep in mind that it is my first tab (I'm pretty proud of myself :)) and email me back any comments or suggestions, coz I love this song and I'd love it if anyone has a more accurate tab... anyways, have fun with it!
