Song: True Love Waits
Artist: Radiohead
Album: I Might Be Wrong-Live Recording
Tabbed By: Jason Lapointe (jizmogg@yahoo.ca)
*** Just correcting my earlier previous tab, plays better now
I'm basing my tab on the live version from the Ep. I think Thom plays
it solo on an accoustic, but I'm sure there are bootlegs and different
versions of this song everywhere. Great song and a favourite B-side of
Radiohead fans. Here goes, it's not too hard. I'll try to approximate
the rhythm, but best you actually listen to the song, just follow Thom's
strumming...

I'll leave the structure out in case you actually use a different
version of the song, but the core is there. It's really only two parts,
so I doubt you will have trouble piecing it together. Later...

| This is one of the most beautiful songs. The lyrics are so nice. Even my non-radiohead liking friend liked this one. Best line, in my opinion "I'm not living, I'm just killing time." It's so true. Sad, too. | |

| This song is to me the best explanation of what LOVE is. You kown love, the things that lives in haunted attics........ Great lyric, great music. It seems so deep to me that it makes me also think about someone who is crying cos his girlfriend died; but maybe this is wrong ...... Anyway, may someone explain me the first 2 lines of the song? | |

| I agree with rx2kONE, I think it means that he will sacrifice himself just to satisfy her. He would give up everything to know that she was simply at peace, very powerful as is the rest of the song. I absolutly love this one, its fantastic. | |

| ilnanni: I'll drown my beliefs To have you be at peace -- This seems to mean that he'd do everything, give up everything he believes in, just to make this woman happy. | |
