Pulled away before your time,
I can't deal it's so unfair...

And it feels,
Yeah it feels like,
The World has grown cold,
Now that you've gone away...

Transcibed by Bobby McIvor
This is the tab for "Gone Away" it sounds pretty good no timing so you
might want to add that in but this is the whole song. H means hammer on
and S means slide this also most of the time the full barre chord is not
strummed just the power chord part but it is some times.

Lyrics:
-- w/ last bar of Riff 1
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Blown away before your time
I can't deal
It's so unfair
-- w/ Rhy. Fig. 1A, 2 times
And It feels,And It feels
like heaven is so far away
And it feels, and it feels
like the world is so cold
now that you've gone away
Interlude -- Rhy. Figs. 1 & 1A, 2 times
-- w/ E5type1, 4 bars
Leaving flowers on your grave
to show that i still care
cant bring back
whats taken from me
-- w/ Rhy. Fig. 2
I reach to the sky
and call out your name
and if I could trade I would
-- w/ Rhy. Fig. 1A, 4 times
And It feels, And It feels
like heaven is so far away
And it stinks, and it stinks
now the world is so cold
now that you've gone away
-- w/ Rhy. Fig. 2
I reach to the sky
and call out your name
and if I could trade I would
-- w/ Rhy. Fig. 1A, 5 times
And It feels, And It feels
like heaven is so far away
And it feels, and it feels
like the world is so cold
now that you've gone away

Then 2nd guitar comes in with this very "meaty" sounding riff (noodles)(guitar 1
carries on with the previous riff)

...whilst guitar 2 starts this nice sounding solo (solo 1) (Ive found that a
chorus pedal works well with this- but if you dont have one then some reverb
should be fine)

E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|


[Chorus]

both guitars play the intro/chorus. when Dexter stops singing, guitar two
breaks off and plays the "meaty" riff twice through.

2nd half of the second verse (bridge):

e|------8------6------6--1----4----------| e|-----|
B|----6------4------4-------3---4/6------| B|-----|
G|--5------5------3--------3-------------| x2 G|-----|
D|---------------------------------------| D|--8--|
A|---------------------------------------| A|--8--|(this note is palm muted
E|---------------------------------------| E|--6--| near the end on guitar 1)

This is the whole song- the rest of the song carries on with all these parts
(remember the first part of the chorus is played the same on both guitars-
the "meaty" riff only comes in during the 2nd run through- when he stops singing
and starts doing that little moan thing.)



Now for the bass:

Im not a bassist so theres probably stacks of room for improvement here, but I
thought this could get you started. Ill add an order of how it is played to try
and make more sense of it:
intro 2x
verse 3x
chorus 4x

Lyrics:

[Verse]

Maybe in another life
I could meet you there
Pulled away before your time
I cant deal, its so unfair


[Chorus]

And it feels
And it feels like
Heavens so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that youve gone away


[Verse]

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and hail Marys
Cant bring back whats taken from me


[Bridge]

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would


[Chorus]

And it feels
And it feels like
Heavens so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that youve gone away
