When We Recovered Tab

Tab: "When We Recovered", Toad the Wet Sprocket
Transcribed by Michael A. Mazur (mmazur@wpi.edu)
 
I'm fairly sure of Glen's part (guitar 1), but guitar 2 is driving me crazy... I'm not
sure of the tuning, I'm not sure even if he's playing with a slide or not... I can't tell...
 
 
Intro: Guitar 1 plays this twice

Guitar 2 enters at the point marked with an asterisk, with delay,
heavy reverb, and volume swells.
Throughout the song, except for the choruses, it sounds like guitar 2
is also played with a slide.

so suddenly

I lost control
you could have died
I could have killed you

Cadd9             G

you shuddered

Verse: (both guitars play the same as the first verse)
 
I slip sometimes
I can be cruel
I can say stupid things
but after crimes
pardoned
and pride follows behind me
 
Chorus: (same as first)
but when we recovered
I only thought of you
and light remaining after thunder
I realized
how much I cared for you
 
 
Bridge:
Guitar 1 plays chords, guitar 2 plays the tab here:
