Standard tuning

Comments: There isn't much to this bass line either. I like the nice change
in register in Rhy. Fig 1. And the verse arpeggios, staccato of course, are
cool. I might have counted a little wrong in the outro. It's the correct
number of repetitions but I'm not sure if I got the high A-C#-B figure in
the right place.


Key:
/    = slide up
\    = slide down
b    = bend (whole step)
b^   = bend (1/2 step)
b^^  = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb   = pre-bend
r    = release-bend
t    = tap with righthand finger
h    = hammer-on
p    = pull-off
~    = Vibrato
*    = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
**   = Artificial Harmonic
x    = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\)  = Dive w\bar
(/)  = Release w\bar
Tp   = Tap w\plectrum

ALWAYS NEAR YOU / NOWHERE TO HIDE 
Simmons

[Intro: Guitar only]

[Guitar and drums only]
I've just begun since you've gone, to understand I'm the only one 
And if you cross yourself at night 
I'll come and see you, don't run and hide 
I'm always near you, I'm always near you, near you 

And if you turn out the light (turn out the light) 
Don't think you'll hide behind the night (behind the night) 
And if you touch me, I might 

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ End 1]
Might turn and see you, don't run and hide 
I'm always near you, I'm always near you, near you 

[Rhy. Fig 2] (3x)
I've just begun since you've gone (since you've been gone) 
To understand I'm the only one (the only one) 
And if you cross yourself at night 
[Rhy. Fig 3]

[Rhy. Fig 1]
I'll come and see you, don't run and hide 
I'm always near you, I'm always near you 

[Rhy. Fig 4] 
Near you 
Don't run and hide, you'll be the only one 
I said don't try to hide for me and everyone 
Don't try to hide, you'll be the only one 
I said don't try to hide for me and everyone 
Everyone, oh everyone, oh everyone 
Everyone, oh everyone, aha, oh everyone 
Everyone, oh aha, aha, everyone, oh everyone, aha, oh aha
