I love this song! It's not too hard to sing, and I'm trying to play it on piano.

I'm surprised I got close...I can't be sure but there's points where the A sounds a bit like it has a C# in the bass but it's tough to pin down. In particular when I hit the bridge or that outro the progression changes totally. Anyway :) thanks for the info on the book, I really gotta pick a copy up, so few of this artists songs are tabbed online for some reason. :(

Actually that's pretty spot on. Seeing as there's no guitar part to the song, you can't really play the guitar part wrong ;)

Piano transcriptions to guitar always seem to have "over" chords, F#/D in particular for some reason. I went over the song and the progression I kept coming up with was largely variations on A and E...something like A, E, F#m, D, Dsus2 with a slight variation in arrangement for the chorus (the F#m sounds like it kicks back to the E and then an elongated D, Dsus2 line). I'm probably way over-simplifying it, but if I add a lot of flourishes on the A and F#m and pick arpeggio sounds close :)

It DOES have the chords over the sheet music itself. However, there are some ridiculous chords in there (Lots of "This chord with this note on the bass" and suspended chords.) But the entire book is worth buying, because Soon Love Soon has a guitar part, and The Tower has soomething about rhythmic guitar. I can't play Eric's Song, but i've got the chords down, so it should be fairly easy.

@porcupine179 Does it carry transcriptions? I CAN play keyed instruments but almost exclusively I play my acoustic guitar. If I could figure out what chords she's playing I can "fake" my way through flourishing it. I know my old Tori Amos sheet-music book carried chords over the bars of music. I'm finding it hard to figure out the progression through the higher end. Killer song, I can just find nothing on tab sites, I'd hate to buy the book and have to transcribe every note

dude, you are uncultured and immature for a comment like that. Go listen to your unintelligent rap about 40's and driving Cadillacs.

You can now order sheet music for the entire Waking Hour album at her website. Not that this song is easy to play..

I'm pretty sure it's Eric Miller, like I said it's her guitarist...and for the first couple of years she was out, she had him for her photographer in the website, they showed him once...in a photo he was kissing her hand, but ya, in atleast her 2nd release, Warm Strangers, she said the album is dedicated to him in the booklet...atleast...maybe?? All I can say that I hope it's not my b/f Eric lol (though if he left me for Vienna, i'd TOTALLY understand lol)
