PATTI SCIALFA - As Long As I Can Be With You
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Titch
The whole is basically arpeggios (?)
listen and you'll get it - nice and easy.
Tuning: EADGBe
INTRO - just harmonics and ringing D chords - and random wizardry.
The chords throughout are pretty much picked like this - occasionally catching the high e and B strings
and hammering on to small chord variants
Listen out.
This is the basic gist of it, just have fun :)

I have tried to position the chords above the correct lyrics as best I can.
VERSE
D A G
They say there's a light
A D A G A
Through darkness shines
D A G
If two hands protect that light
A D A
Against the change of time
G A D A
And have your gold and silver
G A D A
Build your kingdoms high
D A G
But it's just one of those things baby
A D A G A
That money can't buy
CHORUS
G A
So I don't care where we go baby
F# G
I don't care what we do
A G A D A G (G)
As long as I can be with you
VERSE
D A G
Now I've been lost
A D A G
And I've been found
A D A G
Been lifted up to the gates of heaven
A D A G
And put back down
A D A G
I've walked in chains baby
A D A G A
And I've walked free
(A) D A G
But I never walk the way that I do
(G) A D A G A
When you walk with me
CHORUS
G A
So I don't care where we go baby
F# G
I don't care what we do
A G A D A G (G)
As long as I can be with you
BRIDGE
D A G A
Whoah Whoah
D A G A
Whoah Whoah
D A G A
Whoah Whoah
D A G A
Whoah Whoah
G D Em D/F#
Sha na na na na Sha na na na
G D Em A
Sha na na na na Sha na-aaa
G D Em D/F#
Sha na na na na Sha na na na
G D Em A (A) (A)
Sha na na na na Sha na-aaa
VERSE
(A) D A G A D A G A
Well maybe I'm just a foolish girl
(A) D A
'Cause I always thought the right kiss
G A D A G
Could wash away some sins of the world
A D A G A D A G A
Wash away those sins baby and go walkin' free
(A) D A G
'Cause that's just how I feel darlin'
A D A G A
When you walk with me
CHORUS
G A
So I don't care where we go baby
F# G
I don't care what we do
A G A D A G A , D A G A , D A G (G) ....
As long as I can be with you
Repeat the D, A, G, A pattern to fade.
The ending part is just the same as the last bit of the CHORUS but the one progression is played twice before
the ringing Gchord
Hope this helps,
Thanks
