Break Me Gently
The Doves
Break Me Gently
Tabbed by Trond Vegard Meisingset
This is a great song, but kinda hard to tab completely due to the fact
that there's a lot of instruments being used. 3 guitars, piano, synths,
tremolo vocals and whatnot give it an erie floaty feel.
It's still a great song to play though. Enjoy =)

E----------------------------2---I
B--------------------------0--0--I Pick these notes several times.

And that's basically it!
And for good measure, heres's the lyrics as well:
Walk inside, gets noticed
Fears conspire, they won't go away
And I know, and I see
you'll be breaking hearts again
You break me gently
Break me gently
Break me gently
Break my fall in vain
Pain won't go, rest in peace
And I look, and I see
you could be breaking souls again
And I see me, break me gently
Break me gently
Break me gently
