From Afar TRANSCRIBER: Jarred Matthes (Webmaster) Tab Explanation: h=hammeron p=pulloff <#>=natural hamonic on fret in <> \=down /=slide up (#)= Panned Delays. (In the intro, you can hear the delays almost as notes, then in the main part of the song, the panned delays are VERY PROMENANT. You would only play the first chord in the 3, and let the delay play the second two, but if you don't have a delay pedal, play each one very percussively, with some palm muting.

FROM AFAR- Lyrics If I cannot see you from afar Look into your eyes, that hint of depth Hidden inside If I cannot hear you from afar Whisper in my ear, rest assured that You are near And I know not what it's like The aforementioned For the distance between us As are the stars, I only have you In my imagination In my imagination Just to love you From afar If I cannot kiss you from afar Press against your lips, taste the sweetness Of your breath If I cannot touch you from afar Hold you in my arms, keep you warm and Safe from harm Though our circumstances Cause separation In the absence, there's a presence in my heart I will surrender, I'll surrender to my Quiet contemplation My quiet contemplation I'll just, I'll just love you From afar There must be a better way (ooo-oooh) A better way (ooo-oooh) of, of passing the time I can't seem to get her out Out of my Get her out of my mind (Guitar Solo) I don't know what it's like The aforementioned For the distance between us As are the stars, I only have you In my imagination In my imagination In my imagination In my imagination Just to love you Just to love you Just to love you
