Love You 'Til the Day I Die
(N. Finn)
NOTES:
-- Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex. I
was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed
on two chords. However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks
and "side chords" in between to make things interesting. (for exam-
ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this: X7978[10].) I would
suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.
-- The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky
in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti-
fully.
INTRO: B7* Em* B7 Em B7 Em
B7There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That Emnever see the light of day
B7I want to drag them out, go for a walk
Just to Emsee the look that's on your face
B7Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forEmgive me if I tell a lie
B7Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will Emlove you till the day I die
[*** NOTE: See below for guitar tab for this chorus]
EmI beGlieve in F#mdoing things bAackwards Em G F#m A
EmTake Gheed, start F#mdoing things in reAverse Em G F#m A
Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax
I'm talking to myself you're coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you till the day I die
I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Em B*
Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain
G/B* G(11)/B*

CThough I am far aBway I am alCways with you Em G F#m A
