This is tabbed from the Xoa album. The pattern is pretty much the same throughout the song, changing a bit on the "oohs." On the CD recording she does a couple of things as tabbed below: 1. hammer on for the G and C/G chords 2. slide up from C/G to Dmaj7/A (it's the same finger placement) hide this tab G C/G Dmaj7/ A G e|--3----3---3-------0----0---0------0/0---0--0-----3----3---3----| B|--0----0---0-------1----1---1------1/3---3--3-----0----0---0----| G|--0----0---0-------0----0---0------0/0---0--0-----0----0---0----| D|--0----0---0-------0h2--2---2------2/4---4--4-----0----0---0----| A|--0h2--2---0h2-----3----3---3------3/5---5--5-----0h2--2---2----| E|--3----3---3-------3----3---3------3/5---5--5-----3----3---3----| Intro: G C/G Dmaj7/A G G G When I think about dying C/G I think about children Dmaj7/A And when I think about children G I think about you G And when I think about you C/G Dmaj7/A I feel like crying G Crying for my youth G And when I think of my youth C/G I think of my freedom Dmaj7/A And when I think of my freedom G I feel so alone G And when I feel lonely C/G Dmaj7/A I want you to hold me G Hold me in your arms G C/G Dmaj7/A G Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh G C/G Oooh oooh C/G G And when I think of your arms I think about sleeping Sleeping like a baby All through the night And then I think of the night And I feel like weeping Weeping for my life Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh Oooh oooh And when I think of my life I want to be with you Shoulder to shoulder When we?re waking up And we?re waking up And we?re one day older And we?re making love Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh Oooh oooh Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh Oooh oooh C/G G And when we make love C/G I think about children Dmaj7/A And I think about dying G Lying in your arms G C/G Dmaj7/A You want to know why I?m crying Now you know Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh Oooh oooh Oooh oooooh oohooooooohooh Oooh oooh (end on G) ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
