fatjack is correct on the chords named, but here's how the chords are played. If you don't know it's an outro/song after minarettes. It's pretty simple.

Code: Select all

e----------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------------
D--9----7----5----4----------------------------------------------------
A--7----5----3----2----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------

I play them open also, throwing that slide in often, i like how it sounds a lot.

if you listen to the last few lyrics of the song he says.....

"....wishing wishing he was dead...than it could have been I dreamt of you..."

I don't think he dreamed he killed God, but maybe someone he had high feelings/respect towards.

also is the song some devil about Julie Grey again????

I don't think it is about anything of Julia Grey. Here's my theory (this is all bassed off of observations, and just a theory of what went on). I think Julia Grey returned to Dave around the 1999 ir 2000 time. More or less trying to get back with him (not sure in what way). He wrote Grey Street about her, and how she ended up. Then I think songs that were written for Everyday, I think that Sleep To Dream Her is a Julia Grey influence. Another one could be What You Are. THEN, in the Space Between video, here's some thoughts (also keep in mind that it was mostly Dave's idea for doing the video, same with I Did It).

1 - I know the lyrics were said for Ashley, and about being apart from her on tours. I think some of them are references of Julia Grey.

2 - Then, the video, you can see a man and a girl in a truck, and it looks like it might supposed to be a young Dave and a g/f - possibly Julia Grey.

3 - Then there is who is supposed to be his wife with a baby (at the time they only knew of one, not twins). She is worrying about something, and problems with her.

4 - At the end, Dave looks back, and the g/f is there, but obviously older. Dave looks back in a way saying, "sigh, here we go again." Hence the old g/f wants back in Dave's life.

Then, I think the return influence left. I think some devil is more of a metaphor and not Julia Grey.

Nope. I am a fast typer. Took me about 3 minutes. Also, all that thinking, it has come out of just years of pondering on and off. I Work 32-40 hours a week, then I play guitar and hang out with friends.
