HOMESICK – Thirsty Merc
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kengus
>>Here's a (piano) ballad by the aussie band Thirsty Merc, thought
the song deserved to be on UG. Easy enough to play, check the chords
though - works fine with these, although I'm pretty sure the C
after Dm in the chorus is not a simple major. Try it out.<<
Standard tuning
Capo on first fret

F7/D# Bb/D Gdim/C# Bb6 Bm#5

>>PRE-CHORUS<<
Dm F7/D#
I’ve travelled down some lonely roads
Bb/D Gdim/C#
I almost lost my way
>>CHORUS<<
F C/E Dm
I......would give all my time
C Bb6 Bm#5 Csus4 C
just to spend my nights with you
F C/E Dm
I..... would lay down my fears
C Bb6 Bm#5 Csus4 C
Just to spend my years with you
Bb C F Am7
Cause when I’m standing at your door
Bb C F Am7
I don’t feel homesick anymore
Bb C F Am7
When I’m standing at your door
Bb C F...into interlude
I don’t feel homesick anymore

And after all I said and done
We’ve made the most of love
>>CHORUS<< (same chords as before, slightly longer chorus though)
I would give all my time
just to spend my nights with you
I would lay down my fears
just to spend my years with you
I would give all my time
just to spend my nights with you
I would lay down my fears
just to spend my years with you
cause when I’m standing at your door
I don’t feel homesick anymore
When I’m standing at your door
I don’t feel homesick anymore
