(E) (Esus2) (Asus2) (Dsus2) (Bm7 sus2?)
Focus on changing the base notes from Dsus2 to Asus2 to the E, this is where
aynsley really emphasizes the chord changes in the song! For example:
|--0-------------0----
|--3------0------0----
|--2------2------1----
|-(0)-----2------2----
|--------(0)-----2----
|---------------(0)---
Well here goes!!!

Verse
As the crow flies baby, well I ain’t so far from you
(E) (Dsus2) (Asus2) (E)
As the crow flies baby, well I ain’t so far from you
(Dsus2) (Dsus2) (Asus2) (E)
But since I don’t have wings, I can’t get home as fast as I want to
(Bm7sus2?) (Dsus2) (Asus2) (E)(Esus2)
This is where Aynsley speeds up the tempo and lets rip and rocks out! Here
Aynsley plays a hammer on part with the E and the Esus2 to get a rockier sound
and this continues throughout! The chord are exactly the same but are just sped
up. In between chord changes play open strings very quickly.
Rest Of Lyrics
In a dream last night, where I heard you call my name
In a dream last night, where I heard you call my name
Well I took it as an omen and jumped on the very first freight train
Well you don’t know baby how I miss your sweet caress
Well you don’t know baby how I miss your sweet caress
When I’m in your loving arms baby
You know that’s how I’m at my very best

Hope everybody likes it!
This is for Tony who has thankfully tabbed some Aynsley songs and has been
really helpful to me in learning how to play his songs! Nice one Tony!
