Really, the best way to look at it is you hit the 'A' string followed quickly by the 'G' string for each
 
chord...then you follow the patterns of...
 
A#-C-Dm-C (pause) A#-C-Dm (pause)  [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]
 
A#-C-Dm-C (pause) A#-C-Dm (pause)  [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]
 
A#-Dm-C-A#  A#-Dm-C-A#  Dm-C-A# (pause)  [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3]
 
A#-C-Dm-C   A#-C-C-A#   A#-C-Dm-C   A#-C-Dm-Dm-?  [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..]

Rest of the Song:
===========================================================
 
 
Then the intro ends, and the drums kick in, and the rest can be found tabbed everywhere...basically...it's the
 
same barr chords...
 
                   Dm-10,12,12,10,10,10
                   A#-688766
                    C-8,10,10,9,8,8
                    F-133211
                   Am-577555
                   Gm-355333
 
** Important note...A#~C means slide the A# chord into the C chord...
 
 
[[[ Verse ]]]
 
 
Dm    A#~C                       F    A#-Am-Gm
 
Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions..
 
 
Dm   A#~C                         F        A#-Am-Gm
 
You, laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking...
 
 
F    A#        Am     Gm
 
Say love you drive me to distraction...
 
 
(some Violin plucking here, don't know it)
 
 
Dm   A#~C                       F   A#   Am  Gm
 
Oh, helena, do you believe that we might Last a
 
 
Dm    A#~C                         F     A#   Am       Gm
 
Thousand years or more if not for this, our flesh and blood
 
 
   F      A#        Am       Gm
 
it ties, you and me right up tie me down
 
 
[[[ Chorus ]]]
 
 
F     C      Gm        A# Am   F              C         Gm           A# Am
 
.....Celebrate we will.........cause life is short and sweet for certain...
 
 
F         C        Gm     A# Am  F          C      Gm     A# Am
 
We're climbing two by two........to be sure these days continue...
 
 
F      A#-Am-Gm    F
 
Things we cannot change..
 
 
(ok, more violin plucking while dave just plays F-A#-Am-Gm over and over)
 
Now, you just have to keep going...two more verses and two more choruses...just as above...
 
Just keep up with the 3 Chord patterns...
 
1) Dm  A#~C  F  A#-Am-Gm (main one in verses, remember A#~c means A# slides into a C)
2) F  C  Gm  A# Am  (maind one in chorus)
3) F  A#-Am-Gm (used in various places)
