Gabriel

Hello. This is my first tab. Its pretty much the basic chords for the song and should be

with a capo on the 1st fret.

Enjoy!

C G

gabriel this is the last

Am Em

chapter of our correspondence

F C

i hope that after time goes past

F G

you can remember me with fondness

C G

i think as i am thinking now

Am Em

of all the pages that have seen us

F C

laid out an ending in between us

F G

and we can walk them like the ground

F G

i know my fate i do not mean to fight

C C/B Am

but you tread softly on the ground tonight

F G C

tread softly on the words you used to write

C G

oh gabriel i see you there

Am Em

that day i met you in the orchard

F C

and i was younger then i wore my hair

F G

in bows across my forehead

C G

soon they will twist it at the shoulder

Am Em

and fix it with clasps against my neck

F C

and i do not think you would know her

F G

if you could see what they reflect

F G

i've seen my future in an evening dress

C C/B Am

all wrapped in tapestry and fur i guess

F G C

remember me the way you knew me best

C G

oh gabriel i have kept

Am

everything you sent me

Em F

everything you put to paper but

C

it's better to forget

F

and fill your head with memories

G

think that you will thank me later

C G

oh gabriel i wish that i

Am Em

could pick you up and fold you like a ribbon

F C

i'd hold you always and in secret

F G

in the pockets of my clothes

C G

but this is how i live my life

Am Em

with all the parts that i was given

F C

this is the heart that i was given

F G

and what you're given can't be sold

F G

i see my future in an evening dress

C C/B Am

all wrapped in tapestry and fur i guess

F G C

remember the way you knew me best

F G

i know my fate i do not mean to fight

C C/B Am

but you tread softly on the ground tonight

F G C

tread softly on the words you used to write

F G

i know my fate i do not mean to fight

C C/B Am

but you tread softly on the ground tonight

F G Am

tread softly on the words you used to write
