Rewind cover art

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro: First two bars of RF 1

Verse (Rhythm Fig 1):

Cut a tape of my favorite songs

Said what I can't face to face

I hoped that you would share all my thoughts

We are young and unimpressed,

with all you'd recognize.

Chorus (Rhythm Fig 2):

So play it all over

Turn it wide.

Now there is nothing but a

Mix tape left behind

Now it won't rewind

Verse (RF 1):

In my car we are superstars

Run you lipstick down your chin

While up ahead we saw such a crash

Right there a song became a soundtrack

for this space in time.

Chorus (RF 2):

So play it all over

Turn it wide.

Now there is nothing but a

Mix tape left behind

Now it won't rewind

Solo: RF 1 as if it was the second time through

Verse (RF 1):

Wonder is often lost

Jaded at such a cost

Time undermines you when you close your eyes.

We pass right by you. <-- neat distorted lyric (tm) :)

Chorus (RF 2):

So play it all over

Turn it wide.

Now there is nothing but a

Mix tape left behind

Now it won't rewind.

(repeat)
