If You Could Only See Tonic
(Acoustic)
Words and Music by Emerson Hart
*Standard Tunning (eADGBE)*
This song has been one of my personal favourites even before I
started playing guitar. When I went to find tabs for this song's acoustic
version they were no where to be seen. So here's my transcription of it.
Any corrections, comments, questions, or death threats, Email me.
RIFF 1
For the intro this is how it goes (The intro is basically the chorus
aswell)
If you could only [Am]see the way she[C] loves me
G * G/F
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this [Am]way about our l[C]ove
G * G/F
And what I must do
Am C G *
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
G/F (break)
When she says she loves me
*: when you play the G chord mute the A string and hammer on and off second
fret of the G string for a cool little lick you can here in the recording
if you listen carefully
Am - 002210
C - x32010
G - 3X0033
G/F - 1X0033
RIFF 2
*NOTE: For verse parts play Gtr. 1 chords fluently (withought the F) and
don't play Gtr.2. Listen to the song.

Gtr. 2:

If you don't have someone to play Grt. 2 then you can play it this way
on your own and it sounds good
