James Taylor - Fire And Rain Ver 2 guitar tab

Your rating:

It was Really annoying how everyone got this wrong. Too play
this song you need a capo on the 3rd fret.  Practice the
complicated chords, then play the song. It's a really
good one.

Verse chords:
? 000655
?.000433
D 000232
A 002220
E 022100
G*300032

Chorus chords:
D 000232
D.040232
D*024232
A 002220
G.300003
E*022030
E.002000

The basic pattern for each is:
-Verse:

?  ?.  D  A  A  E  G*

-Chorus:

D  D.  D*  A  D  D.  D*  A  D  D.  D*  A  G.  E*  E.


If you listen to the CD you can figure out the beginning
(even though your supposed to play it this way the whole
way through.) All below is approximate timing.  It
requires great finger picking skills.  Not all of below
is correct...just how i play it so it sounds good.  Play
it however you want.  This is how it's done:

 [    ?             ][   ?.          ][    D    ][   A                ]
E----------5----------------3----------2----------0----------0---------
A----5--------5-------3--------3----------3-------2----2-------2-------
D------6---------6------4---------4----------2----2------2-------2-----
G----------------------------------0---0-------------------2-------2---
B----0--------------------------------------------0--------------------
E---------------------0------------------------------------------------

 [     A             ][     E         ]    [      G                        ]
E---------0-----------------------0---------------2----2----------2----2----
A---2--------2--------0----------------0-----------3----3----------3----3---
D-----2---------2-----1------------------0-----0----0----0-----0----0----0--
G---2------------2----------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------2-----------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------0----------------3---------------3---------------
     					    This G is played a different way
					    in the song but, for playing for
 					    friends...this is the easiest.

At the End of the song before the fade out, the E. is played for a while.

LYRICS:

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to


CHORUS
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again




Won't you look down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin' and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way


CHORUS
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

I've been walkin' my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
But there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground


CHORUS
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend now
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again now

ending
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you
Fire and rain, now

Have fun. It takes a while to play and sing since it's a
relatively hard song.  Play it for girls...they melt right
there. Enjoy.
