Forget What You Know (2nd Version) by: Caedmon's Call

Group: Caedmon's Call
Album: "Just Don't Want Coffee"
Song Title: "Forget What You Know (2nd Version)"

  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). 
  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.

  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.

-----3---3----3----3----3---3----3-3-3---
---2------2----2----2---2----2-----------
