Goo Goo Dolls – Iris
Music by John Rzeznik
Tab by Chan
Tuning: Double Drop D (DADGBd)
Tune E to D
E to D
I’m pretty tired of dropping down to BDDDDD to play this song, so I thought I’d tab it
in an easier to get to tuning… with no popping strings (and if you DO pop one… that’s
sad).

Verse
D Dsus2 G5
And I’d give up forever to touch you
Bm7 Asus4 G5
‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow
D Dsus2 G5
You’re the closest to Heaven that I’ll ever be
Bm7 Asus4 G5
And I don’t want to go home right now
D Dsus2 G5
‘Cause all I can taste is this moment
Bm7 Asus4 G5
And all I can breathe is your life
D Dsus2 G5
And sooner or later it’s over
Bm7 Asus4 G5
I just don’t want to miss you tonight

I just want you to know who I am

Yeah, you bleed just to know you’re alive
Chorus

I just want you to know who I am
*…YOU figure out the solo…*
Chorus

I just want you to know who I am
Make up a fun little ending.
By the way, don’t leave me half-assed ratings with comments that go, “Oh em ef gee!!
is wr0ng!!1one!” …especially if you don’t know what the hell an augmented third is; because if
you don’t, I recommend you go read a book instead of making music.
