 This is a really cool song, with a wicked bass line.  If you haven't
 already bought _Splendor Solis_ then buy it!  Wow, what a CD.
  
 "Save Me" by The Tea Party
 (most of the guitar is played with a bow - cool eh?)
  
 Key: Emin
 Time sig: fast 4/4
  
 You can play this song in standard tuning, but I think it is played in
 open D (low to high: DADF#AD) on the CD - I'll tab both ways as much
 as I can.  It sounds nicer in open D (especially on the bridge part)
 'cause you get the open strings adding harmonics.

 (This might be totally wrong, but I think the bass is using dropped-D tuning
  I don't own a bass - this sounds right (albeit too high) on my guitar)

 Play intro, enter drums, adlib guitar for 8 bars, then enter bass
 Adlib guitar for 8 more bars then start:
  
 (Verse)
 I must grieve you tonight, my love
 Remain so faithfully
 I must go off to war, my dear
 The kings await me
 I will go so far away
 I will always love you, but you knew (yeah)
  
 (Bridge)
  
 (Verse)
 I regret to tell you
 Your man has died tonight
 He was a brave man
 He fought a brave fight
 He was killed by the other side
 He was killed by the other man's knives
  
 (Chorus)
 She said save me
 Save me
  
 (Verse)
 Why must you love this man
 He is your brother
 This is easy to understand
 My son, there is no other
 I cannot pretend
 To love this man like my father
 I can not pretend
 Mother there is no other
  
 (Chorus)
 She said "Save me"
 Save me
  
 (Bridge twice) (Bridge is slightly different last time)
 (Solo)
  
 (Guitar is same pitch as vocals)
 Save me
 Save me
  
 (Bridge 2) (don't look for it, I haven't tabbed it :)
  
 When there is no truth
 Let's end this lie tonight
 This is easy to understand
 Without your best fight
 But I see a new sun
 Rising in the east
 But I see a new sun
 Rising in the east
  
 (Chorus)
 She said "Save me"
 Save me
 Save me
 Save YOU
