Song Title: "Forget What You Know (2nd Version)"

Group: Caedmon's Call

Album: "Just Don't Want Coffee"



  First off: if you are here, you may have come looking for the version 

of this song on the first CD.  It is not here... (but it is not risen).  

Derek and I both agreed, with his vote counting about 100 times more 

than mine, that this 2nd version is far superior; really the only one 

worth knowing.  So the older version is not gonna be available.  Sorry!

  A quick note on my notation in this song:  sometimes you will see the

letter h in front of a chord.  This means strum down, and then hammer on

the chord.  For example, the tab of a hE would be:

--0-----

--0-----  You will want to really hammer down hard, or else

--0h1---    the sound will be lost.  Also, the higher your

--0h2---    action, the harder this is to do.  If you are

--0h2---    lost, just e-mail me.  Listen to the CD and it 

--0-----    will help.



  Finally, be sure and look at the chord signatures at the bottom,

as some chords are played barred, not open, and will only sound right,

as well as be able to be played smoothly, if these particular forms

are used.  Again, just mail me with any questions.



  Now:



Cliff: Clean Guitar (playing in E)

-------------------



Intro:

  (Derek only; Cliff does not play)



Verse 1:

--------

   hE  hAsus2           C#m  A

  My friend why do you whip yourself

   hE       hAsus2  C#m  A

  With the leather of your life

   hE          hAsus2         C#m 

  Why do your memories build like

   A       hE   hAsus2  C#m  A

  Poison in your mind

   

Bridge 1:

---------

   C#m                   A         A   B    C#m

  You're re-running the mistakes  (of your mind)

   C#m               A    E

  In the theater of your mind

   C#m                  A

  Hoping that there'll be

     F#m                 D

  A happily ever after this time



Chrous 1:

---------

   E  open-A

  Let go

   E  open-A   

  Let go

   E  open-A

  Let go

   E   open-A

  And forget what you know



Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)

--------



  You fear you've walked too far

  In the hemlock forest and you are lost

  But what error could you invent

  With more power than the cross



Chorus 2:

---------

   E  open-A

  Let go

   open-B      open-A

  Your sin is not an axe

   E

  Let go

   open-A            open-B  open-A

  That can fell the sacred tree

   E  open-A

  Let go

   open-B               open-A

  Your regret is not a net

   E

  Let go

   open-A              open-B     open-A

  That can dredge the forgetting sea



(Solo) Play verse chords over it: hE  hAsus2  C#m  A



Bridge 2: (Same as Bridge 1 above)

--------

  A wise man once told me

  When I was dying just the same

  The past can be like sidewalk chalk

  If you will dance and pray for rain



Chorus 3:

---------

  Play Chorus 1, then Chorus 2 until out...





Play verse riff and then stop as Derek, then cajon drums lead out.

-----------------



Derek: (Capo 2 --> His part is in D)

Intro: This is _fast_ and is built around a Dsus2 chord.  Practice,

  practice, practice... it is played through all the verses also.
