[Intro]
 
G C Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G          C            Cadd9
Leaves are on the ground
G        C    Cadd9
Fall has come
G          C         Cadd9
Blue skies turning grey
G       C    Cadd9
Like my love
G        C       Cadd9
I try to carry you
G            C     Cadd9
And make you whole
G          C     G
But it was never enough
G                 G/F#
I must go
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    Em7  D           C                 G        G/F#
And who     is gonna save you when I’m gone
    Em7  D            C
And who’ll watch over you
         G
When I’m gone?
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
C Cadd9 G C Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G           C         Cadd9
You say you care for me
G           C    Cadd9
But hide it well
G           C        G                    G/F#
How can you love someone not yourself?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    Em7  D           C                 G         G/F#
And who     is gonna save you when I’m gone
    Em7  D            C
And who’ll watch over you
 
when I’m gone
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
G
 
 
[Bridge] (with electric guitar, play these in barre)
 
Em7          Cadd9                    G
And when I’m gone who will break your fall
             Dsus4
Who’ll you blame?
Em7        Cadd9              G                         Dsus4
I can’t go on let you lose it all, it’s more than I can take
Em               C
Who’ll ease your pain
          G
Ease your pain?
 
 
[Chorus] (with electric guitar, play these in barre)
 
    Em7  D           C                 G       G/F#
And who     is gonna save you when I’m gone
    Em7  D            C      G      G/F#
And who’ll watch over you
    Em7 D               C                        G         G/F#
And who   will give you strength when you’re not strong
             Em       D             C
Who’ll watch over you when I’m gone away
 
 
[End Verse]
 
G       C         Cadd9
Snow is on the ground
G        C    Cadd9
Winter’s come
G           C          Cadd9
You long to hear my voice
G   G   G    G
But I’m long gone

The lyrics are a bit off but tab seems good. Surprising to see them using standard tuning.

This song is ****ing incredible. Tab sounds good.

@Kreuger: The Lyrics are a bit off cause I used the very first version I found. Later there have been made some corrections but I already made the tab. But I think that's not such a big problem ;) To your comment regarding the tuning... the song is acutally in Open G but I didn't know this at first and I wanted to give the fans of AB a version everyone can play with sounding as close to the original as it was possible for me to do at the point of time. But as I know the fans at the AB Forum, there will be a good tab in Open G soon.
