Warm as Tears (Phil Keaggy) Transcribed by Peter Yang Comments/fixes/etc to psyang@neumann.uwaterloo.ca Notation: Pretty basic stuff in this song. I use the following symbols: h: hammer-on p: pull-off s: slide This was taken off of Phil's Beyond Nature album. It's pretty complete, though I can't guarantee accuracy. This song is simple and pretty, and leaves some room for improvisation (even for us amateurs!), so it's a good piece to pick up 'the feel' of it, then make it your own. As a result, this tab is only one person's version of the song (mine). I tried to remain as true to the original as I could, but I give no guarantees. Wherever you see blanks, fill in what you want (around the current chord). I make no apologies for mangling chord names or giving improper rhythm notation (not to mention mistakes in the tab itself!). Anyways, comments are always welcome - even bad comments! Enjoy!

PART D ====== This part, I think, is played by two guitars, but here is my attempt at transcribing it for one guitar (with the melody an octave lower). High notes below the *'s give the melody. 15) Em * * * * E-|--0-----------0-----------|--------------------------| B-|--0--------0-----0-----0--|--0-----------3--1--0-----| G-|--0-----0-----------0-----|-----0-----0--------------| D-|--2-----------------------|--------2-----------------| A-|--2-----------------------|--------------------------| E-|--0-----------------------|--0-----------0-----------| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 16) F * * * * E-|--------------------------|--------------0-----------| B-|--1-----------0h1---------|--0h1------------3--1-----| G-|--2-----------------------|--------------------------| D-|--------------------------|--------------------------| A-|--------------------------|--------------------------| E-|--1-----------------------|--------------1-----------| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 17) G * * * * E-|--------------------------|--------------3--0--------| B-|--3-----------1p0---1p0---|--1p0---------------3-----| G-|-----0-----0--------------|-----0-----0--------------| D-|--------0-----------------|--------0-----------------| A-|--------------------------|--------------------------| E-|--3-----------3-----------|--3-----------3-----------| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 18) C E Am A G F * * * * * E-|--0-----------4-----5s-7--|--8-----------5-----3--1--| B-|--1-----------5-----------|--5-----------5-----3--1--| G-|--0-----------4-----------|--5-----------6-----4--2--| D-|--------------------------|--------------7-----5--3--| A-|--3-----------------------|--0-----------------------| E-|--------------0-----------|--------------------------| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 19) Em E-|--0-----------0-----------|--------------------------| B-|--0--0-----0--0-----3--1--|--0-----------0-----------| G-|--0-----0-----0-----------|--0-----------------2--0--| D-|--2-----------2-----------|--2-----------------------| A-|--------------------------|--2-----------------------| E-|--------------------------|--0-----------0-----------| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 20) C G C G E-|--------------------------|--------------------------| B-|--1-----------------------|--1-----------------------| G-|--0--------------0-----0--|--0-----------------------| D-|--2-----2h3p2-0-----0-----|--2-----2h3p2-0--------0--| A-|--3-----------2-----------|--3-----------2-----0h2---| E-|--------------3-----------|--------------3--3--------| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 21) C Dm Em F G Am Bm E-|--------------------------|--------0-----1--3--5--7--| B-|--1-----------1-----------|--3-----------------------| G-|-----0-----0-----0-----0--|--------0-----2--4--5--7--| D-|--------2-----------2-----|--3-----------------------| A-|--3-----------------------|--------------------------| E-|--------------------------|--------------------------| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . PART E ====== This part is kind of tricky, especially with anything other than light/extra-light strings. I think it may be done with two guitars on the album also, but here's my (other) attempt at transcribing it for one. Good work for the pinky... 22) C C7 E-|--12----12----12----12----|--12----10-12-13----12-10-| B-|-----8-----8-----8-----8--|-----8-----------8--------| G-|--------------------------|--------------------------| D-|--10----------10----------|--8-----8-----8-----8-----| A-|--------------------------|--------------------------| E-|--------------------------|--------------------------| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 23) Am7 ?
