1. chords for both Cliff's and derek's parts (transcribed by Brett)
Group: Caedmon's Call
Album: "Just Don't Want Coffee"
Song Title: "Forget What You Know (2nd Version)"
Words and music by: Aaron Tate
More tab available at http://www.t-rev.net
First off: if you are here, you may have come looking for the version
of this song on the first CD. It is not here... (but it is not risen).
Derek and I both agreed, with his vote counting about 100 times more
than mine, that this 2nd version is far superior; really the only one
worth knowing. So the older version is not gonna be available. Sorry!
A quick note on my notation in this song: sometimes you will see the
letter h in front of a chord. This means strum down, and then hammer on
the chord. For example, the tab of a hE would be:
--0-----
--0----- You will want to really hammer down hard, or else
--0h1--- the sound will be lost. Also, the higher your
--0h2--- action, the harder this is to do. If you are
--0h2--- lost, just e-mail me. Listen to the CD and it
--0----- will help.
Finally, be sure and look at the chord signatures at the bottom,
as some chords are played barred, not open, and will only sound right,
as well as be able to be played smoothly, if these particular forms
are used. Again, just mail me with any questions.
Now:
Cliff: Clean Guitar (playing in E)
-------------------
Intro:
(Derek only; Cliff does not play)
Verse 1:
--------
hE hAsus2 C#m A
My friend why do you whip yourself
hE hAsus2 C#m A
With the leather of your life
hE hAsus2 C#m
Why do your memories build like
A hE hAsus2 C#m A
Poison in your mind
Bridge 1:
---------
C#m A A B C#m
You're re-running the mistakes (of your mind)
C#m A E
In the theater of your mind
C#m A
Hoping that there'll be
F#m D
A happily ever after this time
Chrous 1:
---------
E open-A
Let go
E open-A
Let go
E open-A
Let go
E open-A
And forget what you know
Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
--------
You fear you've walked too far
In the hemlock forest and you are lost
But what error could you invent
With more power than the cross
Chorus 2:
---------
E open-A
Let go
open-B open-A
Your sin is not an axe
E
Let go
open-A open-B open-A
That can fell the sacred tree
E open-A
Let go
open-B open-A
Your regret is not a net
E
Let go
open-A open-B open-A
That can dredge the forgetting sea
(Solo) Play verse chords over it: hE hAsus2 C#m A
Bridge 2: (Same as Bridge 1 above)
--------
A wise man once told me
When I was dying just the same
The past can be like sidewalk chalk
If you will dance and pray for rain
Chorus 3:
---------
Play Chorus 1, then Chorus 2 until out...
Play verse riff and then stop as Derek, then cajon drums lead out.
-----------------
Derek: (Capo 2 --> His part is in D)
------
Intro: This is _fast_ and is built around a Dsus2 chord. Practice,
practice, practice... it is played through all the verses also.
