         A black cat moans, when he's burning with the fever
         A stray dog howls, when he's lonely in the night
         A woman goes crazy, with the thought of retribution

       But a man starts weeping, when he's sick and tired of life.

This represents the main riff in the tune. It's played with
mondo-fuzz. All notes are lightly damped except the D
and C# on the 5th string, which are pinched to the point
of squealing. At this point its repeated six times: twice
alone and four times under the lyrics.

 I keep on dreaming the dreams of tomorrow
 Feel I'm wasting my time lighting candles in the wind
 Always taking my chances on the promise of the future
 But a heart full of sorrow beats a lonely tapestry

             The sun is shining
(play 'main riff' one more time)
  But its raining in my heart

  No one ever sees the tears   when you're crying in the rain
 Repeat 2x

                           when you're crying in the rain
                           crying in the rain
Well, that's all i care to do. There is a different rythym
under the lead break, and the leads and fills themselves.
But life is for learning.
