                            When You Don't See Me
                      taken from the album Vision Thing

 Modified 23.*.
 The tempo is 120 and it's played in common time (4/4) and those
 '1    2    3    4' markings mean where the 1/4 notes are played. I really
 tried to get those timings but I'd still like to hear corrections and
 other comments about them. Bass is very simple... just follow the chords.
 I got some additions and corrections to this. One new riff and some changes
 in chords.
 Guitars 1 & 2 are overdrive guitars
 Guitars 3 & 4 are 'clean' ones
 Ah = Artificial harmonic
 H  = Hammer on
 Pm = Palm muting
 (5)-\/-\/-\ = 'Bend' down with bar & wibrate

 Bridge: (in here the Gtr3 plays something but it's so quiet in background
          that I can't figure it out. Try some arpeggios if you want it)
 Gtr2
  F                                   G                      End *

*      (1st verse)
* (X2) (Chorus)
*      (2nd verse)
* (X2) (Chorus)
              (3rd verse)
After the chorus all guitars are quiet for 8 measures, exept for that
1/8 Pm strumming and fill1 which is played at 6th measure.
* starts from 9th measure without Gtr3 which comes along in Bridge part
* (X2) (Chorus)
Repeat Chorus couple of times and fade

when you don't see me
it's not a matter of going to grow
it's not a matter of time or how I feel
I'm throwing off the shadow of a better man now
what you see is what you never had
get real
get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
what the eye don't see won't break the heart
you can make believe when we're apart
but when you leave I disappear
when you don't see me...
oh, it's kind of different when you're there
you can lease the peace of mind
you bought a mask, I put it on
you never thought to ask me
if I wear it when you're gone
you never learned
you bought me
everything and less
I turned
you couldn't let me move
I guess, I don't deny, it don't disprove
what you see is what you lost
if I were you I wouldn't try
