a few notes at the risk of being verbose:
i saw this song transcribed differently
on a website, with the capo on the 5th fret,
with the chords BmGDA, (and that's the way richard does it live
i believe) but i play along with the CD with no capo,
in the key of Em/G (i think that's right).
both ways sound right when played along with the CD,
but i like my way better.
just use an easy, free-picking style, listen to how richard plays,
and you'll see what i mean.
sorry, i don't write tab; i play by ear...
but it's really quite simple.
he adds a lot of hammer-ons and twiddly things in there.
really a pretty song.
comments, suggestions ?
feel free...

(remember this is just my personal interpretation of the song.
you don't like it, go buy the sheet music. if you can find it.)

let's not drive away just yet
Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D
Give me a mo- ment more
Em/addG D C/G G
to walk through those rooms again
Em/addG D
to walk through that door
Em/addG D C G
if we turn off the radio
Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D
i've only to close my eyes
Em/addG D C/addG G
and the wind in the sycamores
Em/addG D
will carry me home
G C/addG
the vine of my memory
G C/addG
is blooming around those eaves
G C/addG Em/addG D C/addG
but it's true it's a chore to tame wis - ter- ia

i'm tempted to ring the bell
Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D
maybe they'd ask me in
Em/addG D C/addG
or maybe it's just as well
Em/addG D
to just let it be
Em/addG D C G
remember the price we paid?
Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D
it seemed like a lot back then
Em/addG D C/addG G
remember the love we made
Em/addG D
the day we moved in?
G C/addG
the vine of my memory
G C/addG
is blooming around those eaves

it did need some pruning back
Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7 D
and i know that it's not my place

but how could they just cut it down

and leave not a trace?

give me a mo - ment more

to walk through those dreams again

the vine of my memory

still blooms all around those eaves
