PLEASE RATE AND ENJOY :)
Tuning: Standard
CAPO ON 3rd- Tabs relative to capo.
MAIN GUITAR PATTERN: Might seem a bit hard to play at first, but I think
once you get the hang of playing the G on the E string in time, it starts
to flow quite nicely. I struggled for a few minutes to begin with. I
usually play with a pick, but for this song I think the pattern
complements finger picking slightly more, using the thumb to reach the
2 bottom strings.
play twice:

This sequence repeats for all verses.
CHORUS:
[C]with bright [G]smiles and d[F]ark eyes[G]
[C]bright smi[G]le dark[F] eyes[G]
[C]everywhere I[G] went oh[F]
[G]I was always searching for you
[C]bright smil[G]e dark [F]eyes[G]
*The main melody can neearly be played on top of the chorus.. I think
there's a bit of a tweak to it at the start line with the F, although
I haven't noted it down because it's fairly hard to tab it exactly
right. Maybe try it by ear.. Either way I think it sounds good enough
in chords.
BRIDGE:
[Am]man is only [G]half h[C]imself
[F]the other half is a [G]bright thing
[Am]he tumbles o[G]n by luck or [C]grace
[F]for man is ever a [G]blind thing
