Chord By The Time It Gets Dark by Yo La Tengo

yo la tengo "by the time it gets dark" i can hear the heart beating as one deluxe edition 1997 & prisoners of love : A of senescent songs 2005 tabbed by : manguero one of my favorite songs ever! this is a cover of a wonderful song by sandy denny of fairport convention . however , deserves to be tabbed in its own right , because yo la tengo doesn’t play it as a straight cover; the chords in their version have a more droning whereas sandy’s change around a lot . listen to the two recordings to hear what i mean . for the verses , you’ll keep your fingers in the same position , except that your middle will walk up a bass line E - F# - A . you can even do the quick step up to B when switch back to Eadd9 if you want . listen to the recording to how it goes . as for the chorus , i’m not sure if it’s exactly right sounds a little weird played along with the recording , but i think it sounds good . just to be clear , here’s how i play these chords : Eadd9 : 022102 Eadd9/F# : 2x2102 Eadd9/A : x02102 intro : Eadd9 Eadd9/F# EaddD9/A Eadd9 Eadd9 Eadd9/F# Eadd9/A Eadd9 baby , every cloud has a silver lining Eadd9/F# Eadd9/A Eadd9 baby every dog really has his day Eadd9/F# Eadd9/A Eadd9 and it matters to me to see you smiling Eadd9/F# Eadd9/A Eadd9 why don’t we blow all your cares away?
