Good cover man. . . . This is one of the great songs of that amazing decade called the 80s. . . What an era that was. . . I'm so blessed to have lived through it.
This is why events unnerve me They find it all, a different story Notice whom for wheels are turning Turn again and turn towards this time All she asks the strength to hold me Then again the same old story Word will travel, oh so quickly Travel first and lean towards this time Oh, I'll break them all, no mercy shown Heaven knows, it's got to be this time Watching her, these things she said The times she cried Too frail to wake this time Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown Heaven knows, it's got to be this time Avenues all lined with trees Picture me and then you start watching Watching forever Forever, watching love grow Forever, letting me know Forever
I just learned the history behind the song and now am gobbling up every version I can find. With just an acoustic guitar, you do it beautiful justice. Bravo

Thanks man! I don’t use tabs, but I just try to recreate the parts I’m hearing. A sort of impressionist approach I guess. I’m sure the original is played totally differently, ha ; /
Thanks! This is what I do: For the chorus, on the top two strings are Open E to G on third fret pinky Open B to C on second fret pointer Then, ring finger and middle finger are making shape of F chord and C chord on lower strings. Does that help??
It’s all just F and C! Unbelievable that two chords could be so powerful. I’m just playing the same chords on different parts of the fretboard and changing up the picking to change with the different parts of the song.
Glad you liked it. Not sure I have the bandwidth for a comprehensive tutorial, but if you have specific questions or need specific tips, let me know and I can make a quick demo for you. Good luck!
The chords couldn’t be more simple: F and C. They just made it sound awesome by adding some dissonance, syncopated rhythms, cool riffs, and dynamics changes. Such a brilliant song, no?

Never would’ve thought this song could work solo acoustic, but you did it.
That’s so nice. Thanks!
This is an excellent cover. Draws lots of stuff out of this great song that, in 45 or so years, I have never heard.
That’s super kind - thanks so much.
Good cover man. . . . This is one of the great songs of that amazing decade called the 80s. . . What an era that was. . . I'm so blessed to have lived through it.
Well done! one of my favorite songs and this is a great rendition. kudos.
So kind - thanks so much.
Heaven knows it's got to be this time....

Radiohead have a better version
Nicely done ! Made it your own whilst getting the tone and meaning across .. guitar arrangement first class
Can you do a tutorial step by step on how to play this? Sounds great!
This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she asks the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
Word will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time
Oh, I'll break them all, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever
Forever, watching love grow
Forever, letting me know
Forever
Magnificent! What an arrangement and perfectly executed. That Guild too. Bravo!!!

Okay, I just randomly searched TH-cam to see if anyone had done this and expected something awful. But it's great!
I just learned the history behind the song and now am gobbling up every version I can find. With just an acoustic guitar, you do it beautiful justice. Bravo
Yeah…Amazing song, right? Thank you so much.

Thanks man!
I don’t use tabs, but I just try to recreate the parts I’m hearing. A sort of impressionist approach I guess. I’m sure the original is played totally differently, ha ; /
Bravo!

Pravin this is excellent mate and love the Guild
Thanks. Love it too. Best friend in high school gave it to me almost 30 years ago!
Lovely version well done - what are the chords you’re playing in the main riff?
Thanks!
This is what I do: For the chorus, on the top two strings are
Open E to G on third fret pinky
Open B to C on second fret pointer
Then, ring finger and middle finger are making shape of F chord and C chord on lower strings.
Does that help??
beautiful man. fair fucks 👏
💪
Great job man! Can you provide the chords/tabs?
It’s all just F and C! Unbelievable that two chords could be so powerful. I’m just playing the same chords on different parts of the fretboard and changing up the picking to change with the different parts of the song.
U should make tutorial for this song😀
Glad you liked it. Not sure I have the bandwidth for a comprehensive tutorial, but if you have specific questions or need specific tips, let me know and I can make a quick demo for you. Good luck!
Do you have an album ?
That's very kind, but no. Not yet! :)
Great cover
Can you do a tutorial?
Would be a bit tough but if you have any questions about it I’d be happy to give some pointers…
I need the chords of this song:(
The chords couldn’t be more simple: F and C.
They just made it sound awesome by adding some dissonance, syncopated rhythms, cool riffs, and dynamics changes. Such a brilliant song, no?
@@PravinRao thanks you a lot, i really enjoyed your acoustic version
Amazing cover bro!
Thanks man!
