If I Am Nine Days
For those of you that have the Nine Days Cd or have heard it know that
this song is really cool. I didn't wanna be really fancy with it so i
just put the chords above the words and its easy to figure out when they
change. But anyway hope you enjoy. Its about 100% correct... but there
could be slight errors. Thanks.
Verse G Em C Am
So youâ??re standing on the ledge it looks like you might fallâ?¦. so far

Verse G Em C Am
So youâ??re walking on the edge and you wait your turn to fall but youâ??re

could find the fault in the heart that youâ??ve been handed for though you
cannot fly youâ??re not content to crawlâ?¦

[G]So your standing on a le[D]dge,
It looks like you might fa[Cadd9]ll. So far down,
[F]Or maybe you were thinking about [G]jumping.
Now you could have it a[D]ll,
If you learned a little pa[Cadd9]tience!
For though I cannot f[F]ly,
I'm not content to cra[G]wl!...
So give me a little cr[D]edit,
Have in me a little fa[Cadd9]ith!

So your walking on the edge,
And you wait your turn to fall.
But you're so far gone,
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you.
And you could find the fault,
In the heart that you've been handed!
But though you cannot fly,
You're not content to crawl!...
But it's always too late when you've got nothing
So you say!...
But you should never let the sun set on tomorrow,
Before the sun rises....
If I am!
Another waste of everything you hoped for,
I will let you down...
If I am!
Only here to watch you as you suffer,
I will let you down...

Nine Days -- Absolutely (Story of a Girl)
I figured out this song a while ago, but since no one has put
a decent copy on the internet I decided to step up. This real
nice when I play along with (or without)the actual song. Some
people think its played too much...I might agree, but I never
get tired of hearing it. If you like this tab feel free to give it
to a friend. Also feel free to check out my webite
neat stuff...

Guitar Solo
the way this is played in the song makes it nearly
impossible to tab perfectly so a few notes may be
missing, but this is very close. This is also a great
solo to improvise on -- be creative!!
(P.S.-- I didn't figure out the lead into the solo, the tab
below is only after the band pauses)

End Riff:
The end riff is the set of chords that you didn't play during the last
string
of refrain riffs
G, Dsus4, C(9), G, Dsus4, C(9), G, Dsus4, C(9), G...fade out
(Whenever this riff is played during the song the band switches between
the chords quickly and doesn't play each one the same number of times.
Listen to the song and you'll get a feel for it).
Hope you can follow all this. Practice and before you know it you'll
be
impressing your friends with those mad guitar skills. And don't forget
See ya later.
