T1: Chris Marks, [email protected], The Tea Party, Heaven Coming
Down, I think August 99
S2: There are several versions of tab for this song (Texts of songs ) floating around,
but I've played them all and they all SUCK. I spent two hours with
WINAMP listening to the song (Texts of songs ) and tabbing this version out, and it
sounds perfect.
I know there's an easier way to play it, but this is how THEY play it
(more or less)
The easy way is at the bottom.
I tried to line the lyrics up as closely as I could, but it's not quite
accurate.
Intro:
With nothing to lose
you'd waste away,
obscured in exile.
They've witnessed the times
you've gone astray,
whose fault? Now you're thinking...
There's nothing to prove...
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

(no guitar for verse 2)
So strange are the ways
they all have changed,
still life it stays the same.
A break from the past
could make it last, oh,
maybe just a little longer.
There's nothing to prove...
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...
