Elsewhere Sarah McLachlan
From: Preserved Moose <br/> <br/> Elsewhere<br/> by Sarah McLachlan<br/> from the album Fumbling Towards Ecstacy<br/> Transcribed by John Argentiero (jfafreak@wam.umd.edu)<br/> <br/> The bulk of this song is done on piano, but I will provide chords that <br/> sound decent on guitar. The spacing of the chords may seem odd, but I <br/> tried my best to match them up with the vocals. The album is the best <br/> reference for when to play what.<br/> <br/> This is some tab for the intro, notes in brackets are supposed to be done <br/> on piano.<br/> <br/> e--2-------------|-------|----------|----------|-------|-----|<br/> B-----3----------|-------|-[3]------|------3---|-1--0--|--0--|<br/> G----------------|-------|------[0]-|----------|-------|-----|<br/> D----------------|-------|----------|-[4]-[0]--|-------|--2--|<br/> A----------------|-------|----------|----------|[3][2]-|-----|<br/> E--------0-------|-(0)---|(0)-------|(0)-------|-------|-----|<br/> hold that e for about 2 bars 1st verse...<br/> <br/> Incidentally, heres TAB for the chords, just for clarity's sake...<br/> <br/> e--0-----2-----0-----2-----0-----2-----0-----3-----2-----0----|<br/> B--0-----3-----3-----3-----0-----3-----1-----0-----3-----1----|<br/> G--0-----2-----2-----0-----0-----2-----0-----0-----2-----2----|<br/> D--2-----0-----0-----2-----2-----0-----2-----0-----0-----2----|<br/> A--2-----------------------0-----0-----3-----2-----3-----0----|<br/> E--0-----3-----------0-----------------------3----------------|<br/> Em D/G Dsus2 Em9 Em/A D/A C G D/C Am<br/> <br/> (Just piano first time)<br/> <br/> Em D/G Dsus2 Em<br/> I Love the time and in between, The calm inside me<br/> <br/> D/G Dsus2 Em9<br/> in the space where I can breathe.

Listen to <br/> the album closely for the timing of this part, its kinda buried in the <br/> piano parts. <br/> When playing this song alone on acoustic guitar, just ignore this part <br/> and play the straight chords listed above.<br/> Hope thiss is all you need to play this rather spiffy song.<br/> Enjoy, and email me with amy comments!<br/> John<br/> jfafreak@wam.umd.edu<br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
