TIME AFTER TIME (ANNELISE)





The tune is in E flat, but uses standard RES chord shapes.



Play the main riff and chorus on a guitar tuned to F, or tuned normally and

capoed to the first fret, or tuned to E flat and capoed on the second fret.



Play the 2nd guitar part on a guitar tuned to E flat, so you can get the drone

effect.  You can just play the 1st and 2nd strings if you want.



Play the 3rd guitar part (ringing chords) on a guitar tuned to E flat, using

this shape:

Eb chord shape:  079900



Main riff (tune to F or capo 1st fret)

F--|-0----0-0-0---3-3-sl-5-0-----| This is the main riff and repeats many times

C--|-3----3-3-3---3-3--------0---| throughout the song.  I believe that the main

Ab-|-2----2-2-2---2-2------------| chord here is Dsus2 with some extra picking

Eb-|-0----0-0-0---0-0------------| thrown in. Wierd, but not so hard once you get

Bb-|-----------------------------| the hang of it. Tune to F to maximize ringing

F--|-----------------------------| of open strings.  (Or play in standard tuning

                                 with capo on 1st fret).



2nd guitar (tune to E flat)

Eb-|-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0---| This is the droning heard through most of the song.

Bb-|-5-5-5-5----5-5-5-5---| Play with either two or three strings, your choice.

Gb-|-9-9-9-9--------------|

Db-|----------------------|

Ab-|----------------------|

Eb-|----------------------|

End on Eb chord (7th fret)



Notes:  There are three guitars on this song.  One (tuned to F?) plays the

main riff.  The second basically drones on Eb notes, played on two strings at

once.  A 12 string would be ideal for this part.  A third guitar plays the Eb

chord on the seventh fret (with open Eb and Bb strings).  It sounds like

there's more going on due to the interaction of these parts.
