by Vertical Horizon on "There and Back Again"
This song is capoed at the third fret. It's actually at the fourth as
VH tunes to E flat. The picking pattern is tough and there is alot of
Dsus2 and Asus2. All chords are in open positions. An easier version is
using Travis-style finger picking with the indicated chords. All
fingerings are relative to the capo. Each - is a sixteenth and each chord
begins under the first letter of the chord name in the tab. * = hammered.

(Go directly into "You are..." from beginning of verse music with no
hammer)
You are this lonely picker's daydream
Like a wish that's wishing to come true
So Liberty just know I'm waiting
To share this love song with you.
"To share..." is sung with the same music as "I didn't know..." and then
there is this short instrumental part leading into the chorus.

Verse 2
-------
We shared some special night together
We said we'd watch the morning rise
But when the sun was all around us
Wasn't nothing I hadn't seen in your eyes.
I try so hard to keep it hidden
But I am hurting deep inside
For every time I've seen you smile
There are two times that I have cried.
Chorus
Up through "Do you ever think..." is the same as first then "Or do you
only think about me when it rains" twice with 8 beats for first and only 6
for second.

Outro

Now and forever my love will be the same
I will be waiting underneath the pouring rain.
