 From: Briac PILPRE 
 Subject: TAB: Gold To Me  by  Ben HARPER
 Gold To Me
 ----------
 Artist: Ben Harper
 Album: Fight For Your Ming
 Transcribtion & Tab: Briac PILPRE 
 
 Tuning: DADDAD (from high to low, or low to high, as you want!)
 
  Okay for this one I'll use a chord-like presentation, but when
 you see the chord name, you'll have to do a slide up to the chord
 (i.e. if it's a G chord, you'll have to slide from F# to G). It's
 only for the verse...
  For the chorus the strumming technique is really weird. You've got
 to rest your guitar on your lap, strum in dead note and lay your slide
 on every start of measure (I don't know if I'm very clear, but, anyway,
 listen to the record to catch the rythm)
  Also, I know there's some mistakes in this transcribtion, so any 
 comment/ correction/ help in any way would be appreciated!)
 
 so here's the chords for this song:
       D A D D A D
 F     3 3 3 3 3 3
 G     5 5 5 5 5 5
 D XII 121212121212
 A     7 7 7 7 7 7
 
          G
 you look like gold to me
             F
 and I'm not to blind to see
                   D
 you look like gold
 
 you make me want to say
 with all the joy you bring
 you look like gold
 
 Like the rays down from the sun
 when a new day has just begun
 you look like gold
 
 A         F     
 I've been fooled before
 A         G
 but now I know
 A         F
 I've made the mistake in the past
 A         G   
 but now I know the difference
 A             D
 from gold and brass
 
 not the kind of gold that you wear
 but the kind that can feel my care
 you look like gold
 
 some shine when the day is new
 but fade when the day is through
 but you look like gold
 
 I've been wrong before
 but now I know
 I've made mistakes in the past
 but now I know the difference
 from gold and brass
 
 solo:
 (You really need to play on an high action guitar with heavy strings
 in order to avoid pull-of buzzes with the slide...)
