THE SUGAR - Tablatura - If I Cant Change Your Mind

"If I Can't Change Your Mind," by Sugar.

This is the single version. I have no clue if the album version is any
different.

There's another tab of this song out there somewhere, but it's very hard
to read so I decided to write it out in a more legible fashion.

NOTE: CAPO ON THIRD FRET!!!!!!!

All chord names herein designate position; e.g., D = XX0232, which, with a
capo on the third fret, is actually an F.

T = play with thumb
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
^ = bend ^q = quarter tone ^h = half tone ^F = full tone
if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked
h = hammer
p = pull-off
g = grace note - written above note to be 'graced'
~ = vibrato

This is the main riff:

--2---0-2---3---2-0--|--2---0-2---0-0-0-0--|
--3---3-3---3---3-3--|--3---3-3---3-2-0-2--|

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For simplicity's sake, call this A pattern
Riff A.
Behind the lyrics:

D G
Tears fill up my eyes

D Riff A
I'm washed away with sorrow

D G
And somewhere in my mind

D Bm F#m
I know there's no tomorrow

G A
Well I see you're leaving soon

D A Bm F#m
I guess you've had your fill

G Riff A (to main riff)
But if I can't change your mind then no one will

[Same for verse 2]
And all throughout the years
I've never strayed from you my dear
But you suspect I'm somewhere else
You're feeling sorry for yourself
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind then no one will

If I can't change your mind

F#m G
Even though my heart keeps breaking

Bm C
Don't you know that I'll be waiting

D D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Here for you

F#m G
Then when you return

F#m G
When will you return

Bm
I hope you see I'm dedicated

C
Look how long that I have waited

F#m
If you come back then you will find

G Riff A
A different person if you change your mind

[Verse 3 - back to same pattern]

How can I explain away
Something that I haven't done
And if you can't trust me now
You'll never trust in anyone
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind then no one will

If I can't change your mind

[transition] Bm F#m

[jump to middle of verse pattern]

Someday you'll see I've been true
I'll stay that way until
But if I can't change your mind then no one will

If you find this file and like it, all I ask is that you let me know:

Keith E. Law

'If I Can't Change Your Mind'- Sugar

I've seen other transcriptions using a capo but this is how I play it.
It's sounds the best on a twelve string but still cool on a 6.
The rhythm isn't exactly right but the chords are good.

(Use your thumb for the F chords.)

The solo is in F and the run at the end is just going up and down the scale
with a little change near the end.
