Gold To Me ---------- Artist: Ben Harper Album: Fight For Your Ming
Tuning: DADDAD (from high to low, or low to high, as you want!)
Okay for this one I'll use a chord-like presentation, but when you see the chord name, you'll have to do a slide up to the chord (i.e. if it's a G chord, you'll have to slide from F# to G). It's only for the verse... For the chorus the strumming technique is really weird. You've got to rest your guitar on your lap, strum in dead note and lay your slide on every start of measure (I don't know if I'm very clear, but, anyway, listen to the record to catch the rythm) Also, I know there's some mistakes in this transcribtion, so any comment/ correction/ help in any way would be appreciated!)
you make me want to say with all the joy you bring you look like gold
Like the rays down from the sun when a new day has just begun you look like gold
I've been fooled before
but now I know
I've made the mistake in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass
not the kind of gold that you wear but the kind that can feel my care you look like gold
some shine when the day is new but fade when the day is through but you look like gold
I've been wrong before but now I know I've made mistakes in the past but now I know the difference from gold and brass
solo: (You really need to play on an high action guitar with heavy strings in order to avoid pull-of buzzes with the slide...)

And here's my poor attempt to transcribe the Bass part, which is pretty much the same as Otis Redding 'My Girl' (Cool Song!) (for the verses only):
