C Shed a tear, 'cause I'm missing you G But I'm... still alright to smile A D Girl, I think about you every day now There was a time when I wasn't sure But you... set my mind at ease There is no doubt you're in my heart nowChorus
C G Sad woman, take it slow C Em It'll work itself out fine C G D All we need is just a little patience Sad sugar, make it slow And we'll come together fine All we need is just a little patience Sit here on the stairs 'Cause I'd rather be alone If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear Sometimes, I get so tense But I can't speed up the time You know love, there's one more thing to consider Sad woman, take it slow Things will be just fine You and I'll just use a little patience Sad sugar, take the time 'Cause the lights are burning bright You and I've got what it takes to make it ...We won't fake it ...Oh, we'll never break it ...'Cause I can't take itSolo

Throughout this song, this simple riff is thrown in with the D chord occasionally. You're simply removing your finger (or adding a finger) to the high E string -- listen along to the song for reference.

Here's a list of the 173 songs I've added to the site since December 2012. Each song was added by me personally.
Songs are grouped by the year they were released.
My name is David Potsiadlo, and I created Songnotes to share my collection of guitar tabs, chords, and lyrics for my favorite songs.
Since I started playing guitar over 10 years ago, I've often been frustrated by the preponderance of mediocre and incomplete song tabs littered across the internet. To combat this, I started keeping my own collection of notes for each song I learn -- always taking the extra time to make sure accuracy and completeness are never compromised. Years later, my collection grew to the point where I knew I had to share it online with fellow aspiring musicians.
In December 2012, I began designing & developing a website that became Songnotes. Here, I share my personal collection of hand-crafted music notation with all those online. I hope you enjoy.
