Year: 1990 - Album: Styx - Greatest Hits

Written by Tommy Shaw/Styx

	  		Intro fig 1: 
 
--0-2-3-2-3-5-3-2-3-2-0-|--0-2-3-2-3-5-3-2-0-----| 
3-----------------------|3-------------------3-2-| 
------------------------|------------------------| 
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0| 
------------------------|------------------------| 
------------------------|------------------------| 
with other acoustic guitar strumming D like a mad dog. 
 
 
Repeat, then fig 2: 
 
---5-3--------------------------| 
---5-3----5-5-3-----------------| 
---6-4----6-6-4----6-4----------| 
----------7-7-5----7-5---7-7-5--| 
-------------------7-5---7-7-5--| 
-------------------------5-5-3--| 
With G strumming on the quarter notes underneath. 
 
Repeat figure 1, then figure 2 
 
then figure 3: 
 
2-3-5-7-5-353-2---0-|2-3-5-7-5-353-2---0-| 
----------------3---|----------------3---| 
--------------------|--------------------| 
--------------------|--------------------| 
--------------------|--------------------| 
--------------------|--------------------| 
while the guitar 2 does: 
 
2-3-5-7-5-3---2-----|2-3-5-7-5-3---2-----| 
3-3-5-8-5-3---3-3-5-|3-3-5-8-5-3---3-3-5-| 
2-4-6-7-6-4---2-4-6-|2-4-6-7-6-4---2-4-6-| 
----------------5-7-|----------------5-7-| 
--------------------|--------------------| 
--------------------|--------------------| 
 
The little synthesizer fill that follows each 
repetition of the above: 
 
--3----3----|-5--------| 
---3--------|--875-----| 
----4-4-----|-----7646-| 
0----5------|----------| 
------------|----------| 
------------|----------| 
 
While the acoustic strums these chords: 
 
-0----------|-0--------| 
-3----------|-5--------| 
-4----------|-6--------| 
-5----------|-7--------| 
-5----------|-7--------| 
-3----------|-5--------| 
 
 
Then figure 1 twice, figure 2 twice, 
slowing and ending with a G and hold...... 
 
then begin the song: 
 
play this (figure 4) three times: 
 
2--2-2-0-3---|0--0-0-2----0| 
3--3-3-1-0---|1--1-1-3----1| 
2--2-2-0-0---|0--0-0-2----0|    relax, 
0--0-0-0-0---|0--0-0-0----0|    take it easy. 
-------------|-------------| 
-------------|-------------| 
 
then this to end the figure: 
 
2--2-2-0-3---|7--0--2----| 
3--3-3-1-0---|8--1--3----| 
2--2-2-0-0---|7--0--2----| 
0--0-0-0-0---|0--0--0----| 
-------------|-----------| 
-------------|-----------| 
 
JY plays this little harmonic thing over the 
fourth and sixth measures of figure 4 (above): 
 
-------------------| 
---------(7)-------| 
------(5)---(7)----|    (let ring) 
---------------(7)-| 
-------------------| 
-------------------|
