If I Cant Change Your Mind

(início)

From: *
>From their 1992 Rykodisc album Copper Blue.
Tabbed out by Keith E. Law (*).
This is the single version. I have no clue if the album version is any
different.
There's another tab of this song out there somewhere, but it's very hard
to read so I decided to write it out in a more legible fashion.
NOTE: CAPO ON THIRD FRET!!!!!!!
All chord names herein designate position; e.g., D = XX0232, which, with a
capo on the third fret, is actually an F.
 T = play with thumb
 / = slide up
 \ = slide down
 ^ = bend       ^q = quarter tone       ^h = half tone          ^F = full tone
        if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked
 h = hammer
 p = pull-off
 g = grace note - written above note to be 'graced'
 ~ = vibrato
This is the main riff:

In chord names: D   Dsus2   D   G   D(no5)  Dsus2(no5)
                D   Dsus2   D   Asus4   A   Asus2   A
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                For simplicity's sake, call this A pattern
                                Riff A.
Behind the lyrics:
D          G
Tears fill up my eyes
    D                Riff A
I'm washed away with sorrow
D             G
And somewhere in my mind
D                   Bm   F#m
I know there's no tomorrow
G                 A
Well I see you're leaving soon
  D            A        Bm      F#m
I guess you've had your fill
       G                   Riff A                 (to main riff)
But if I can't change your mind then no one will

Same for verse 2

And all throughout the years
I've never strayed from you my dear
But you suspect I'm somewhere else
You're feeling sorry for yourself
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind then no one will
If I can't change your mind
F#m            G
Even though my heart keeps breaking
Bm                  C
Don't you know that I'll be waiting
D               D    Dsus2   Dsus4   D   Dsus2   D
Here for you
F#m             G
Then when you return
F#m             G
When will you return
Bm
I hope you see I'm dedicated
C
Look how long that I have waited
F#m
If you come back then you will find
G                  Riff A
A different person if you change your mind

Verse 3 - back to same pattern

How can I explain away
Something that I haven't done
And if you can't trust me now
You'll never trust in anyone
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind then no one will
If I can't change your mind
[transition]    Bm    F#m

Someday you'll see I've been true
I'll stay that way until
But if I can't change your mind then no one will
The very end:

If you find this file and like it, all I ask is that you let me know:

I've seen other transcriptions using a capo but this is how I play it.
It's sounds the best on a twelve string but still cool on a 6.
The rhythm isn't exactly right but the chords are good.
(Use your thumb for the F chords.)

The solo is in F and the run at the end is just going up and down the scale
with a little change near the end.
