     Starsailor Tab - Born Again
****************************************
tab by: Paul Docherty

IMPORTANT: Firstly, to play this song you need to tune your guitar to open G. 
This is quite simple. Using the D-string as a guide, both the low E and 
the high E down to D. Then, using the G string as a guide, tune the A 
string down to G. And that's all there is to it. Your strings, from 
thickest to thinnest, should now sound these notes. D, G, D, G, B, D.
 
I am not at all sure if these are the real chord names, but for the 
sake of the tab we'll just call them,
 
G [ x 0 5 0 3 0 ]
 
G7 [ x 0 3 0 0 5 ]
 
G6 [ x 0 2 0 1 0 ]
 
Basically for most of the song you just strum these in the same pattern 
as the record. 
e.g.
 
G                  G7                   G6                    G
But for the grace of god she'd cry herself to sleep
 
                     G7                   G6                         G
Because the grace of God is something she can't keep
 
 
and so on..............................
 
However, as you may have noticed there is a picking pattern on the guitar 
at parts of the song. This is hard to explain - I'll try, but don't be 
surprised if you can't understand it! 
 
This is the picking pattern for G
 
D ---------------------------
B--------------3-------------
G--------0------------0------
D-----------5-----5----------
G-----0-----------------0----
D----------------------------
 
This is the picking pattern for G7
 
D----------------5------------
B----------0-----------0------
G-----------------------------
D-------------3----3----------
G------0------------------0---
D-----------------------------
 
And this is the picking pattern for G6
 
D-------------------------------
B----------------0--------------
G---------1-------------1-------
D------------2------2-----------
G-----0----------------------0--
D-------------------------------
 
And that's about it. I think the notes in these patterns change, but who's 
going to know, it still sounds terrific with a bit of practice. The best 
way would be to listen to the record while you do this for the first few 
times. Now that you know what to look for you might be able to pick it 
up easier for yourself. The picking patterns change half way thru I think, 
i.e. you change from one to the other when you are in the middle of one. 
I'm not too sure how to do it myself, but I just busk it. Anyone who wants 
to make any adjustments or add anything to this tab, feel free.
 
So that's that! And remember keep the fever because if it wasn't for the 
good souls, life would not matter!
