Lover, You Should've Come Over by Jeff Buckley

Tabbed by Troels Holstein Kaa
Easy version of this song. Sounds pretty good. Can be played with capo on 3 too,
then its easier to hit the high notes.
Standard tuning
G/C chord

Intro:
D,Dsus2,D,Dsus2,G/C,Em7
D, Dsus2^D (Dsus2 hammer on to D) <-- x2 or more. Up to you.
G/C <-- Strum it up once, wait half a second and strum for Em7.
Em7
After that, start over again, and you can do this a couple of times before the song.
The same combination is used in the verses where I have written D/intro and G/C -> Em7.
Riff1 - Used in the first and second verse. Not perfect, play that or something simalar.

Play intro first
D/intro G/C Em7
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
D/intro G/C Em7
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
Riff1 D G
And maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
D/intro G/C Em7
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know
D/intro G/C Em7
Broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
D/intro G/C Em7
Where are you tonight, child, you know how much I need it
Riff1
Too young to hold on
Bm D Fm
And too old to just break free and run

Bm Em7
Sometimes a man gets carried away
Bm Em7
When he feels like should be having his fun
Bm Em7
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
G/C Em7 Fm
Sometimes a man must away to find that really, he has no-one
D G
So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
D G
Will I ever see your sweet return
Em7
Oh, will I ever learn
Em Em7
Oh.....oh... lover, you should've come over
D/intro G/C Em7
'Cause it's not too late
D/intro G/C Em7
Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
D/intro G/C Em7
Burning in the corner is the only one in dreams he had you with him
Riff1 Bm D G
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come
D G/C Em7
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Riff1
Well, maybe I'm just too young
Bm D G Em7
To keep good love from going wrong
Em Em7
Oh...... lover, you should've come over
Riff1
Yes, I feel too young to hold on
Bm D Em7
And I'm much too old to break free and run
Em7 G/C D
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done
Em Em7
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Em Em7
Oh, love well I wait for you
Em Em7
Lover, you should've come over
D G/C Em7
'Cause its not too late

I did this really fast, and only as a help/start for beginners. I know theres some
parts where the chords doesn't fit that well.
Enjoy
