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---------| |-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0----0-5^0---0-5-4-2--| |-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. G 3 3 3 3 3 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 3 ^ ^ I dont wanna fight no more D/F# 3 3 3 3 3 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 ^ ^ Only wanna get to shore Em D true D 3 3 3 3 2 3 3 3 3 3 0 2 0 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 2 0 ^ ^ ^ Baby dont slam the door tonight G ^ ^ D/F# ^ ^ Ran another off the tracks thats time we cant get back Em ^ ^ D true D -(see Xtra at bottom for an alternative) We can save tomorrow if we try Pre-Chorus: (this is picked in the song - the D is the main ending lick from intro) C D true D 3 3 2 3 3 3 0 2 2 2 0 0 3 x Ohhhhhhh, till we make this right C D true D Ohhhhhhh, I wont say good night Chorus: (strum these chords with fingers on the 3rd fret on the 1st and 2nd string like above) Em C I just wanna make you laugh G D/F# I just wanna see that smile Em C Babe were only here, G D/F# oh, for a little while Em C G D/F# I just wanna hold you till we fall asleep Em C G D/F# G I want love I want us I want you I want me and I want peace Verse: Everybody needs a place, somewhere thats warm and safe_ for shelter from this crazy world were in But tonight I let the rain inside, I took away your place to hide Im sorry that I made you cry again Pre-chorus: Ohhhhh we can make this right Ohhhhh kiss me good night Chorus: 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 we fall asleep I want love I want us I want you I want me and I want peace Bridge: Yeahhh, I want peace Ohhhhh We don't have to fight Ohhhhh So kiss me all night Cause I want peace. Yeahhh Chorus: 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 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. Em 3 3 3 |-------------| 3 3 3 |--------1-0--| 0 2 0 |-----2-----2-| 2 0 0 |----0-0------| 2 |-3^0---0-----| 0 ^ ^ |-------------| We can save tomorrow if we try A. Harwell
