Fade Away Tab

by Scott Miller


Actually, this was recorded as a V-Roys song on "All About Town". Depending on where you
you may not be able to get your hands on a recording of this.

Again, there are lots of little "Scottisms" (hammers/pulls/walks) throughout this one,
I don't know how to indicate, but if you listen to the recording, they're easy to pick up
 The Cm and Cm7 are played as bar chords on the third fret.  The C is just a traditional
position C. I don't have a way to note the Cm7 except to describe what Scott does.
Pick up your 4th (pinky) finger from the Cm and place it on the high E string on the 6th
 This simply duplicates the F note (one octave up) from the 3rd string of the Cm7
 Does that even make sense?  I've also seen/heard Scott play this with a capo on the 
fret, but I can't sing it that high, so I keep it where he recorded it
I've also seen him do it on a 12 string ...... simply beautiful!!!  It makes me wish I
have
known Holly.

Intro: (x2)  -  -  -  -  - 
 -  (walk down to )


                             
     
You had to go, I knew the day was comin’ for some time
                                    
              
You’re leavin’ slow, the hardest part is watchin’ you slip by


               
Feel you fading away
                                        
and with your heart goes a part of mine
              
Feel you fading away
       
and if I could see you one more day
     
It’d be the one before you changed,
 (this is the weird )
see you later too goodbye

                                   
           
Your eyes are mine, your fingers fit my hands
                                
       
It makes me cry to think that I will not hold them again


               
Feel you fading away
                                        
and with your heart goes a part of mine
              
Feel you fading away
       
and if I could see you one more day
     
It’d be the one before you changed,
 (this is the weird )
     see you later too goodbye


                                    
My heart sings out of tune to yours in time
                           
But, that song it sings will have to change

    Without a beat to stand behind


(Play chords from verse again x2)


                               
       
Holly, goodbye, you know that I can take care of myself
                   
              
There will be times, I think how nice it’d be to have your help


               
Feel you fading away
                                        
and with your heart goes a part of mine
              
Feel you fading away
       
and if I could see you one more day
     
It’d be the one before you changed,
 (this is the weird )
     see you later too goodbye

I've heard Scott do the last line X3 with the Cm7 then go back to one more round of the
from the first line then end on the G.

Have fun
