Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do

The first thing that crossed my mind when I was watching Mamma Mia! at the cinema a few weeks back was "If only I was part of the band that was playing all the songs!!" It wasn't even "Hey these people are great actors/actresses" (Ok that was my second thought). My point is, I wish I was playing in a band. But unfortunately I don't play the piano/guitar that well so I can only play up to a sad level! Can't play Abba here unless I have a keyboard =P Anyway after a few weeks of continuously listening to the Mamma Mia! soundtrack and singing along until my throat hurt (I think I know why it's been raining a lot recently...hahaha!) I switched back to listening to James Morrison. He's really awesome! If you haven't heard his song 'You make it real' then go and get the album! Or watch or listen to it on Youtube! Or download it! His songs are easy to play also, and it's easy to sing cause it's low notes! Here's one of my fave songs from his latest album:

Tabbed by: xMaxie77

Tuning: Standard

Am C Dm Am G

Am C
I don't know where I crossed the line
Dm
Was it something that I said
Am G
Or didn't say this time
Am C
And I don't know if it's me or you
Dm
But I can see the skies are changing
Am G
In all the shades of blue
F G
And I don't know which way it's gonna go

C F
If it's gonna be a rainy day
Am
There's nothing we can do to make it change
G
We can pray for sunny weather
C
But that won't stop the rain
F
Feeling like you got no place to run
Am
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
G
We can make this last forever

C
So please don't stop the rain
F
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Am
Please don't stop the rain
G
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Am
Please don't stop the rain

C
I thought that time was on our side
Dm
I've put in far too many years
Am G
To let this pass us by
Am C
You see live is a crazy thing
Dm
There'll be good time and there'll be bad times
Am G
And everything in between
F G
And I don't know which way it's gonna go

C F
If it's gonna be a rainy day
Am
There's nothing we can do to make it change
G
We can pray for sunny weather
C
But that won't stop the rain
F
Feeling like you got no place to run
Am
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
G
We can make this last forever

C
So please don't stop the rain
F
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Am
Please don't stop the rain
G
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)

Please don't stop the rain

Dm C G
Oh we're a little closer now
Dm C G
And finding what life's it's all about
Dm Am
Yeah I know you just can't stand it
C G
When things don't go your way
Dm G
But we've got no control over what happens anyway


C F
If it's gonna be a rainy day
Am
There's nothing we can do to make it change
G
We can pray for sunny weather
C
But that won't stop the rain
F
Feeling like you got no place to run
Am
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
G
We can make this last forever

C
So please don't stop the rain
F
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Am
Please don't stop the rain
G
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
C
Please don't stop the rain
F
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)

Can't stop it, can't stop it, just can't stop the rain
Am
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
G
Let it fall, please don't stop the rain
