Chords, Guitar Tablature & Lyrics
____________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are one acoustic and one electric guitar in this one. I'm going to show you the chords and some alternate chords - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

THE CHORDS:

(g# f#) E A E A E A E A
(SOLO GUITAR INTRO)

E A E A
lately I've felt a little crazy

E A E A
like I do when that moon's gettin' full

E A E A
is there a change in the air or the way that I care

E A E A
how can I explain how I feel
 
B4 A4
wish I knew me better

B4 C#4 D4
and I would if I half-triiiiiiied

E A E A
but my will is strong and it just carries me on

E A E A
following the way that I feel

E A E A
no my love ain't dead it just got to my head

E A E A
and I need a little space to feel free

E A E A E A E A
(GUITAR SOLO) 



E A E A
lately, I've gone a lot of places

E A E A
and seen a lot of things I didn't need to see

E A E A
maybe I followed a star a little bit too far

E A E A
and lost something along the way
 
B4 A4 B4
or maybe I needed to lose

C#4 D4
something I shouldn't have haaaaaaaaad


E A E A
but it feels so good to take a second look

E A E A
following the way that I feel

E A E A
no my love ain't dead it just got to my head

E A E A
and I need a little space to feel free

B4 A4 B4 C#4
B4 A4 B4 C#4 D2 E2
E A E A E A E A
E A E A E A E A
(GUITAR SOLO)
 


E A E A
I feel loose and contented

E A E A
like to go where I want, when I can

E A E A
if I set too much, my thoughts begin to rush

E A E A
and nothin' is clear that I hear

 B4 A4
I guess I'm a mover

B4 C#4 D4
just travelin' through my life to somewheeeeeeeere
 
E A E A
but it feels so good to take a second look

E A E A
following the way that I feel

E A E A
no my love ain't dead it just got to my head

E A E A
and I need a little space to feel free

E A E A
while following the way that I feel
 
E A
while I'm following,

E A E A
following the way that I feel

E A
while I'm following,

E A E A
following the way that I feel


E A E A E A E A
- repeat & fade -
(GUITAR SOLO)

TIPS:

MOST of the chord symbols represent two beats. If you see a symbol like B4 or C#4 - play that chord for 4 beats.

Intro

The '(g# f#)' that you see in the intro are single notes that are played by the bass. The two notes are: 6/4 and 6/2 (6th string 4th fret and 6th string, 2nd fret).

Most of the song

I have added alternate chords for the 'A E' parts - try 'em out, but watch those bass notes (in bold).
