Note: This is my first tab to submit but since
"Piano to Guitar Conversion" has been nessisary to
play the songs I seem to like most, I have many other
interesting tabs that I'll share. Rate me please and
send comment as to the instuctional format that I use.



Intro: (Each bracket is completed inside a four beat count.)
                                  DM
E |-------------|-----------------|-2-|
B |-3-2-3-2---0-|-3-2-3-7-5-2-3-0-|-3-|
G |-2-2-2-2-2-0-|-2-2-2-7-6-2-4-0-|-2-|
D |---------2---|-----------------|-0-|
A |-------------|-----------------|---|
E |-------------|-----------------|---|


Main Picking Pattern (P1) Progression:

E |-----------------|
B |---2---2---2---2-|
G |----2---2---2---2|
D |--2---2---2---2--|
A |-0---------------|
E |-----3---2---3---|

Important note if you want this to sound good:
To make the sound flow easier use the pick stoking down
on the first two strings and then, with your middle finger,
stroke up on the next two strings (Up on the B and G strings).

I busted this up a bit and showed two other variations they
do with this picking pattern. (Actually key strokes on the piano.)
I then cleaned up a straight lyrics section at the bottom.


Verse 1

       P1
  Look around you

P1
  Look up here

  P1                                           P1

  You're there when I need you you're there when I need. . . I'm gonna need you.


    P1
  A long time ago I had a lady to love


DM          (A Bass)            (A Bass)       P2

      P4                                           P4

Lyrics Only

Verse 1
Look around you
Look up here
Take time to make time, make time to be there.

Look around
Be a part
Feel for the winter, but don't have a cold heart.

And I love you best
You're not like the rest
You're there when I need you you're there when I need. . . I'm gonna need you.

Verse 2
A long time ago I had a lady to love
She made me think of things I'd never thought of
Now she's gone and I'm on my own
With a love song has come into my mind
A love song, it was there all the time

Chorus
So lady let me take a look at you now
You're there on the dance floor making me want you somehow
Oh, lady I think it's only fair I should say to you
Don't be thinking that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do

Verse 3
Look around
Come to me
I have no answers but I know where I want to be

I look around
Play a part
I was born in the winter and cooled by a warm heart

And I love you best
You're not like the rest
You're there when I need you you're there when I need. . . I'm gonna need you.

[Chorus]
+ Don't be thinking that I don't want you, 'cause baby I do.
