She Loves Me (When I Try)
By Dougie MacLean
Tablature by Nathan Sitkoff (sitkoff@cs.umass.edu)

Capo 1; tuning DADABD or Capo 3: tuning CGCGAC

This tuning is kinda funky but it works pretty well.  My guitar
teacher actually transcribed this one.  Be careful about the changes
from 2/4 to 4/4 time.

The "3s5" is a slide from the 3rd to the 5th fret.  I recommend using
your ring finger for this.  You need to make this slide real fast to
get the desired effect.

I know you Dougie fans are out there!  I'm posting my stuff and I'm
expecting YOU to do the same.

  helps   me       when I   can't   hold     on

Lyrics:

Here comes the morning, cruel and clear
There is no reasonable chance that it might disappear
Here comes the evening, it's still the same
We are just passengers upon a godless ghostly train

Chorus:
But she loves me when I try
She thinks about me when I'm gone
Oh she helps me when I can't hold on

It's another market, another sale
Another reason to believe we're ahead and cannot fail
But there's deadly dangers we must endure
There are so many different ways we never can be sure

Chorus

So there is no ending to this tale
There is no destination on this long and restless rail
And here comes the morning, cruel and clear
There is no reasonable chance that it might disappear

Chorus
