Need help with BOBBIN, lyrics & TAB.

[jeifer]

I am having trouble with the lyrics of Bobbin, can anyone help?
If anyone has TAB for it as well I would gladly take it!

[ammaringnyc]

Here are the lyrics, I’m not good at TAB though

Bobbin’

Oh, give me some will
oh, help me be still
oh, just wait untill
oh, give me some will

oh, help me be still
oh, give me some will
oh, just wait until
oh, help me be still

I got lots of doubt
I am lost without
Been a painful drought
I can’t live without
Know what that’s about
Your on my mind, mind, mind

Something to change my mind
Something I need to find
I’ve been left behind
Gotta heed those signs
Again to let it slide
It would be a crime, crime, crime

You’re on my mind, mind, mind

Oh, give me some will
oh, help me be still
oh, just wait untill
oh, give me some will

oh, help me be still
oh, give me some will
oh, just wait until
oh, help me be still

Oh, give me some will
oh, give me some will

Wow thanks ammaringnyc, that was very quick!
Much appreciated, I always find it hard to figure out what J is saying, but then I mainly listen to the guitars.
Cheers!
When (or if) I finish the tab I’ll post it around Freakscene somewhere for anyone that may want it.

Remember, J often uses a capo on like the 2 or 3 fret.

aye cap’n – will do!

*edit* just spent 1/2 hour typing in tab then f#*king erased it accidentally!! Here is much less good version typed in haste AND FRUSTRATION. tHE ARRANGEMENT ISN’T ACCURATE at ALL and it’s pretty much just the fretting for you.

Tune down 1/2 step (this puts it in E which is nice n easy)

—9

9—-11

9—-
—5

---

5—5—5—-5—-5

---

7—-7

7—-7

and here’s the variation on that bluesy rock riff:

(then above riff)
—9

9—-11

---

---

---

—7

Then into:

8

---

---

—9

---

---

9–9

(THEN opening riff)
—9

---

9

---

9–9

---

9

---

9

---

—7

---

7

---

7–7

and add to that later:
B5 C5 D5

---

---

---

8—-8

---

–9—-9

---

9–9—-9—-9

---

10—-10

---

12—-12—- (x2)
–9—-9

---

9–9—-9—-9

---

10—-10

---

12—-12—-
–7—-7

---

7–7

---

8

---

8

---

10—-10—-

Now into the change to "I got lots of doubts" bit, here are the basic fret positions:
E5 D5

---

---

–14

---

14–14

---

—-14

---

14-14

---

---

16

---

16—-

---

14

---

14

---

---

14

---

14-

---

12

---

12—-

---

---

---

---

Leftover bit is where J piles on the ascending harmonies, it’s just an A5 power chord (or barre chord if you so desire)

Phew!! sounds fine to me anyway. Cheers!
