  (E)   (Esus2)   (Asus2)   (Dsus2)   (Bm7 sus2?)


Focus on changing the base notes from Dsus2 to Asus2 to the E, this is where
aynsley really emphasizes the chord changes in the song! For example:

|--0-------------0----
|--3------0------0----
|--2------2------1----
|-(0)-----2------2----
|--------(0)-----2----
|---------------(0)---

Well here goes!!!

Verse

As the crow flies baby, well I ain’t so far from you
(E)                           (Dsus2)  (Asus2)     (E)

As the crow flies baby, well I ain’t so far from you
      (Dsus2)                 (Dsus2)  (Asus2)     (E)

But since I don’t have wings, I can’t get home as fast as I want to
  (Bm7sus2?)                          (Dsus2)    (Asus2)     (E)(Esus2)        


This is where Aynsley speeds up the tempo and lets rip and rocks out! Here
Aynsley plays a hammer on part with the E and the Esus2 to get a rockier sound
and this continues throughout! The chord are exactly the same but are just sped
up. In between chord changes play open strings very quickly.

Rest Of Lyrics

In a dream last night, where I heard you call my name

In a dream last night, where I heard you call my name

Well I took it as an omen and jumped on the very first freight train


Well you don’t know baby how I miss your sweet caress

Well you don’t know baby how I miss your sweet caress

When I’m in your loving arms baby

You know that’s how I’m at my very best

That’s basically it. Just repeat chord sequence over and over with lyrics.
Hope everybody likes it!

This is for Tony who has thankfully tabbed some Aynsley songs and has been
really helpful to me in learning how to play his songs! Nice one Tony!
