"I can't be with you", The Cranberries. ---------------------
Not sure if this has been done already, but as I was doing the Cranberries at the moment, I thought someone would like this. Try to get the Irish accent. It makes it so much nicer ;)
Again, this sounds good on an electric-acoustic, using a Passac or DI and a bit of reverb - but don't go overboard!
The best way to get the 'muffled' acoustic sound is to cut your fingernails and use no pick. Use your thumb and index finger on the strings, quickly raking, and your palm to slightly deaden the strings.. still, if you find a better way... ;)
Open chords sound good at the start, but once the rest of the band kicks in, the rapid raking of the barres sounds better.
Haven't worked out the electric in the background yet, tho. Enjoy.

I Can't Be With You- The Cranberries ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To all the people who asked for more Cranberries tabs, sorry for the long wait; I've been pretty busy lately. Here is what I came up with!
Intro: Bb Cm Gm Bb- picked in order of strings: 5,4,3,4
-this is just a guess because I don't have much time to check.
Verse: picked in similar fashion as intro
Crying in my bed again and I cry 'cause you're not here
Crying in my head again and I know that it's not clear
Put your hands, put your hands inside my face and see that it's just you
But it's bad and it's mad and it's making me sad
because I can't be with you
Chorus: strummed
Be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you, baby I can't be with you
Verse 2: played as verse 1
Thinking about on how things were and on how we loved so well I wanted to be the mother of your child and now it's just farewell Put your hands in my hands and come with me, find another hand (?) In my head, in my head, on anyone's shoulder, 'cause I can't be with you
Chorus: same as chorus above
Be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you Be with you, be with you, baby I can't be with you Cause you're not here, cause you're not here, baby I can't be with you Cause you're not here, cause you're not here, baby still in love with you
