    woohoo, my first ever thread on IGT.


    I figured out the whole song...I'll post the tabs for the solo-ish type guitar thing played with the flute later. It's quarter to one and I have to get up at 6 30 tomorrow.





    --------------------Bb
    I can feel my heart
    --------------------Bb
    And its fit to burst
    --------------------Cm
    Try to clean it up
    --------------------Bb
    But I just get worse


    ----------------Cm
    Wish I could fall
    --------------------Eb
    On a night like this
    ----------------------Bb
    Into your loving arms
    -------Eb----------Bb
    For a moonlight kiss




    At the end of every line of the first verse, he plays a little lick like this:

    ------------------
    ------------------
    ----------3------
    --3---5----------
    ------------------
    ------------------


    I can post a recording tomorrow if you want, just ask. I like this song.

    @drsaurabh: I'd originally put the chords as Bbsus2 followed by Bb but then I rejected it because I think the sus note is either played in the bass or on the second guitar but I'm still not sure. I feel the last chord on every line is definitely Bb and not Bbsus(which I feel is definitely there in the middle or beginning of every line). What do you think? I'll definitely try your correction when I get home and see what I can come up with.


    As for the Cm, I was toying with either Cm there or Eb in the verse. In the chorus I'm pretty sure it's Cm followed by Eb which should be played in the big D shape(x65343).


    I'll do whatever corrections I feel are nescessary when I get home.

    Just use a white colour for your username font and put in a blue glow into it.



    If I ever did that, I'd use a brown font for my username because I'm an Indian and then give it a white glow because I'm fair.





    Yes....terribly racist, I know :eek::

    okay here it is....2 files. One with voice and one without. The Bap is without voice.


    I've added a bass guitar type thing in here to keep rythm because I dont have bongos. I think the bass sounds nice...it's there in the actual song but in a very supressed way.

    The lead type parts from the verse are the same but I added a little lick in the chorus on my own...sorry, couldn't resist. It was sounding nice.

    Slight change in chords:


    --------------------Bb
    I can feel my heart
    --------------------Bb
    And its fit to burst
    --------------------Eb
    Try to clean it up
    --------------------Bb
    But I just get worse


    ----------------Cm
    Wish I could fall
    ------------------Ebsus2
    On a night like this
    ----------------------Bb
    Into your loving arms
    -------Eb----------Bb
    For a moonlight kiss



    I'll post the tabs for the flute cum guitar part later. Feel free to ask questions as usual.

    timing is everything in this song
    There are two guitars playing in this song
    1 electric with compression doing most of the plucking and a second strumming in the back


    --------Bb------Ebsus2--Eb----Cmin
    ---------6--------6------6----8--
    ---------6--------6------8----8--
    ---------7--------8------8----9--
    ---------8--------8------8----10-
    ---------8--------6------6----10-
    ---------6--------6------6----8--



    ---------------Bb
    I can feel my heart
    ---------------Bb
    And it's fit to burst
    ---------------Eb
    I try to clean it up
    ----------------Bb
    But I just get worse

    ----------------Cmin
    Wish I could fall
    ----------------Ebsus2-Eb
    On a night like this
    -----------------Bb
    Into your lovin' arms
    Cmin--------------Bb
    --For a moonlight kiss

    I thought I saw your face
    In the evenin' sky
    On a lonesome cloud
    That was driftin' by

    I wish I could fall
    On a night like this
    Into your lovin' arms
    For a moonlight kiss

    You got someone else
    Maybe it's for the best
    Since I took the cure
    For happiness

    And I'd trade it all
    On a night like this
    For your lovin' arms
    And a moonlight kiss

    For your lovin' arms
    And a moonlight kiss

    Lovin' arms
    And a moonlight kiss
    Ooh, yeah

    For the part "On a night like this" the change from chord Ebsus2 to Eb requires the change of just one note. What sounds really nice is if you play the Ebsus2 and then hammer on the 8th fret to create the Eb just after the word this.
    In the song theres a slide guitar that slides up to the G note on the 3rd string 12th fret
