When I met you
Song by the APO Hiking Society
Circa '82 or something
Tabbed by Jngoi Seriņa
I learned this song a long time ago, about '82 or something.
It's cool and it's originally tabbed by me. Sorry 'bout the Last Tab my guitar wasn't
tuned and my Jack was almost empty. He he. I tabbed that one too high. Comments:
. Hollerin to mah bro Mamark in Toronto, where the beer's icee cold...
Old skool tip: chords separated by commas "," means that the timing for changing chords
as based on the placement above the lyrics. Chords separated by a dash "-" means that it
an abrupt change, maybe 1/2 bar to a 1/4 bar. Familiarization with the song helps. From
article in a Jingle mag. Circa '76.

(AM7 , Dm7 - xxxxx3 - xxxxx1 - xxxxx0 - xxxxx1)2x
There I was an empty piece of a shell
(AM7 , Dm7 - xxxxx3 - xxxxx1 - xxxxx0 - xxxxx1)2x
just minding my own world
AM7 , xx4545
without even knowing
Bm7 , E7
what love and life were all about
II
(AM7 , Dm7 - xxxxx3 - xxxxx1 - xxxxx0 - xxxxx1)2x
Then you came you brought me out of my shell
(AM7 , Dm7 - xxxxx3 - xxxxx1 - xxxxx0 - xxxxx1)2x\
you showed the world to me
AM7 , xx4545
and before I knew
Bm7 , E7
there I was so in love with you

D7, xxxxx3 , xxxxx2, xxxxx0, xxxxx2)2x
Bm7- C#m7 - Dm7 - E
Dm7 , C#m7 , F#m
You gave me the reason for my being
F#m - Fm - Em, A7, D7, xxxxx3 , xxxxx2, xxxxx0,
and I love what I'm feeling
Dm7 , C#m7 , F#m
You gave me the reason for my life
F#m - Fm - Em, A7, D7, xxxxx3 , xxxxx2, xxxxx0,
and it's gone beyond existing
Bm7- C#m7 - Dm7, E
and it all began . . . when I met you
For the rest of the lyrics, buy the CD or ask your Dad. He he he.
