Hello. This is my first tab. Its pretty much the basic chords for the song and should be
with a capo on the 1st fret.
Enjoy!
C G
gabriel this is the last
Am Em
chapter of our correspondence
F C
i hope that after time goes past
F G
you can remember me with fondness
C G
i think as i am thinking now
Am Em
of all the pages that have seen us
F C
laid out an ending in between us
F G
and we can walk them like the ground
F G
i know my fate i do not mean to fight
C C/B Am
but you tread softly on the ground tonight
F G C
tread softly on the words you used to write
C G
oh gabriel i see you there
Am Em
that day i met you in the orchard
F C
and i was younger then i wore my hair
F G
in bows across my forehead
C G
soon they will twist it at the shoulder
Am Em
and fix it with clasps against my neck
F C
and i do not think you would know her
F G
if you could see what they reflect

F G
i've seen my future in an evening dress
C C/B Am
all wrapped in tapestry and fur i guess
F G C
remember me the way you knew me best
C G
oh gabriel i have kept
Am
everything you sent me
Em F
everything you put to paper but
C
it's better to forget
F
and fill your head with memories
G
think that you will thank me later
C G
oh gabriel i wish that i
Am Em
could pick you up and fold you like a ribbon
F C
i'd hold you always and in secret
F G
in the pockets of my clothes
C G
but this is how i live my life
Am Em
with all the parts that i was given
F C
this is the heart that i was given
F G
and what you're given can't be sold
F G
i see my future in an evening dress
C C/B Am
all wrapped in tapestry and fur i guess
F G C
remember the way you knew me best
F G
i know my fate i do not mean to fight
C C/B Am
but you tread softly on the ground tonight
F G C
tread softly on the words you used to write
F G
i know my fate i do not mean to fight
C C/B Am
but you tread softly on the ground tonight
F G Am
tread softly on the words you used to write
