A Forest

Note: There are three versions of this song. I'm tabbing from the version found

on the 'Greatest Hits' and 'Staring at the Sea - The Singles' albums. I'm not

sure if there is any discernible difference between it and the versions found

on 'Seventeen Seconds' or the Tree Mix found on 'Mixed Up' as I've never really

listened to them all the way through.

The intro consists mainly of two parts.

Pt. I - Played three times through as the bass comes in. This is the way I find

it easiest to play.

e|--------------------|

B|--------------------|

G|-----2--------------|

D|----------3---2---3-|

A|--0-----0---0---0---|

E|--------------------|

Pt. II - Played once. Palm mute from the last note into the first Am chord.

e|----------------------------|

B|----------0-1---------------|

G|-----2--------2-0-----------|

D|------------------3-2-0-----|

A|--0-----0---------------3-0-|

E|----------------------------|

Am C F Dadd9 (two measures)

(Am C F Dadd9 pattern)

I hear her voice

calling my name

the sound is deep

in the dark

I hear her voice

and start to run

into the trees

into the trees

B C A C

B C A F

Into the trees

Am C F Dadd9 (four measures)

(Am C F Dadd9 pattern)

Suddenly I stop

but i know it's too late

I'm lost in a forest

all alone

(Am C F Dadd9 pattern)

The girl was never there

it's always the same

I'm running towards nothing

again and again and again. . .

B C A C

and again. . .

B C A F

and again. . .

Am C F Dadd9 (repeats until song is finished)

I cannot figure out the final chord progression, unfortunately. Nevertheless,

those are the correct chords.
