Lover You Shouldve Tab

   
Lover You Should've Come Over
 -by Jeff Buckley


Just a few notes...This is one of my all time favorite songs, and I wanted to provide
	a clear transcription for it.  But if you've tried to learn any Buckley before,
	you know that he is the king of improvisation.  Tablature depends on repition
	and riffs, and I don't think Jeff plays the same line twice.  So just keep in
	mind that this is kind of a skeleton of the song.  I recommend listening to
	a couple versions of it, and playing around with each variation.  Feel free to
	put in some of your own ideas, be free, be fluid, and keep the love flowing.

Verse:

D						   C9	   Em
Looking out the door, I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners.
D						   C9	   Em
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water.
Em6			 F#7Aug6  Bm7			   Em
Well, maybe I'm just too young to keep good love from going wrong.
D				   C9	Em
But tonight you're on my mind-it's over.  You'll never know
D						 C9    Em
I'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it.
D					  C9	Em
Where are you tonight?  Child, you know how much I need it (you).
Em6		  F#7Aug6     Bm7			 Em
Too young to hold on, and too old to just break free and run.
