Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I'm posting this mainly as a cheat version for those who want to play and sing the song -but those of you
looking for the finger picking can also gain some insight.
Capo on 2nd Fret -- Standard Tuning
Intro/verse picking: (fret relative to capo)
|---3---5-3-----3---5-3-----3--5-3-------5----------|
|----3-----3-----3-----3-----3----3-----3-3---------|

|-5-----------4-----------2-------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
Base chords are G - D/F# - Em - D - C
-but you should always have your fingers on the 3rd fret down on the 1st and 2nd string when you play the
chords (see below), except for the D in spots. I also finger the 2nd fret, 3rd string during
part of the verse as below.

Everybody needs a place, somewhere thats warm and safe_ for shelter from this

Chorus:

Babe were only here, oh, for a little while
I just wanna hold you till you fall asleep
I want love I want us I want you I want me and I want peace -(Skip the G and go straight to Em here)
I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna see that smile
Babe were only here, oh, for a little while
I just wanna hold you till you fall asleep
I want love I want us I want you I want me I want love I want us I want you I want
me and I want peace

Xtra:
Occasionally I'll play an alternative to the main lick from the intro during the song. This comes right
after the Em, where I normally play the D.
