Long drawn out open chords are mighty powerful in creating that 'dreamy, spatial' feeling. *************************************************************** Lyrics/Arrangement: Opening: Rhy Fig 1 twice | Rhy fig 2 | Rhy fig 2a | Rhy Fig 1 twice Hush now, don't you cry, Rhy Fig 2 Rhy Fig 2a wipe away the teardrop from your eye. Rhy Fig 1a twice You're lying safe in bed, Rhy Fig 2b twice it was all a bad dream spinning in your head. Rhy Fig 3 twice Your mind tricked you to feel the pain, Rhy Fig 4 twice Of someone close to you leaving the game (of life). Rhy Fig 3 twice Rhy Fig 4 So here it is, another chance, wide awake you face the day. && The dream is over, or has it just begun....? Rhy Fig 5 twice | Rhy Fig 2c twice Rhy Fig 5 twice There's a place I like to hide, If you open your mind for me, Rhy Fig 2c twice a doorway that I run through in the night. you won't rely on open eyes to see. Rhy Fig 5 twice Relax child, you were there, The walls you built within Rhy Fig 2c twice but only didn't realise that you were scared. come tumbling down and a new world will begin. Rhy Fig 3 twice It's a place where you will learn Living twice at once you learn, Rhy Fig 4 twice to face your fears, retrace the years, you're safe from pain in the dream domain, and ride the whims of your mind. a soul set free to fly. Rhy Fig 3 twice Commanding in another world, A round trip journey in your head, Rhy Fig 4 twice suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension.... master of illusion, can you realise your dream's alive 2nd time: (you can be the guide, but) D C6 I.................will be watching over you D C6 I.................am gonna help to see you through D C6 I.................will protect you in the night D C6 $$$ 2nd time &&& I.................am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity.... Rhy Fig 1b twice Rhy Fig 6 twice (Begin solo)| Rhy Fig 7 twice | Rhy Fig 6 twice | Rhy Fig 7 twice | (rhythm section rest) Voice: Visualise your dream, Record it in the present tense, Put it into a permanent form, If you persist in all efforts, You can achieve a dream come true... ...a dream come true... ...a dream come true... (Go to 2nd verse) --------------------------------------------------------------- $$$ Play (along with "am smiling next to you") ------------------------| ------------------------| -9--7--5-----5----------| 10--9--5-----5----------| ----------7-------------| ------------------------| && Strum : E x B 3 G 0 D 5 A x E x &&& Rhy Fig 1b 5 times and pluck : E 7 B 0 G x D 5 A x E x *************************************************************** Notes: EXTRA LITTLE NOTES: Play an E at the 5th fret of the second string right before "Your mind tricked you to feel the pain." After "or has it just begun...?" hammer an E from the open D string followed by an open G string before entering Rhy Fig 5. CHORUS: depending on my mood, I either play whole note power chords or strum (eighth notes) the chords. Depending on what sounds good at the time, I play either a C or a C6 chord. Technically, it's supposed to be a C6 chord (my two versions o' tab confirm this), but some days it just doesn't sound right. PLAYING: Chris DeGarmo plays a spanish, nylon 6-string acoustic for the rhythm part. I'm pretty sure a normal 6-string and a 12- string join in along the way. As the the song progresses, I think a 6-string electric (clean) comes in. Another electric comes in for the solo (see below). I always play this song with a steel 6-string and it sounds fine. If you play with steel strings play without a pick: it sounds better IMHO. Any nylon string players probably want to follow DeGarmo's part with a pick. This info is just IMHO, not written in stone. SOLO: Playing the heavily repeated part of the solo on acoustic is kinda tough (which is what I always play the entire song with). It never really sounds right. I freelance that part just about every time I play it. If you have an electric with a tremolo bar (sp) and all the effects (I think Chris DeGarmo likes chorus, octave, and overdrive, but don't hold me to that), you can make it sound perfect. STRING ARRANGEMENT: I have no idea what the string arrangement is (done by Michael Kamen of _Robin Hood_, etc, etc fame), nor do I even have a clue. I would like to play them on my 'board, so if anybody knows it, I would be glad if they sent it my way. *************************************************************** Sources: Lyrics: _Selections from Empire_ and Dave Music: _Guitar_ magazine with Silent Lucidity tab (EVH cover), _Selections from Empire_, Dave, his six-string acoustic, and a CD player programmed to play Track 8 from _Empire_ 20 times.
