Tom: G
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, *
Standard tuning
Comments: I like these chords, specially when the "harmony" part comes in
by the second verse. There is also some very good solo guitar work here
(although the last G natural against the E major chord in Riff 3 is a little
annoying even with the gradual bend to the A). The high A's that fade in
(both bent and straight) give a slightly eerie feel to the track. And you
got to love Gene's castrato vocals during the jamming outro.
Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\) = Dive w\bar
(/) = Release w\bar
Tp = Tap w\plectrum

ALWAYS NEAR YOU / NOWHERE TO HIDE
Simmons
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Riff 1] (2x)
I've just begun since you've gone, to understand I'm the only one
[Rhy. Fig 1]
And if you cross yourself at night
[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ End 1 and Riff 2]
I'll come and see you, don't run and hide
I'm always near you, I'm always near you, near you
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2] (3x)
And if you turn out the light (turn out the light)
Don't think you'll hide behind the night (behind the night)
And if you touch me, I might
[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ End 1, Rhy. Fig 3b w/ End 1, Rhy. Fig 3c w/ End 1 and Riff 3]
Might turn and see you, don't run and hide
I'm always near you, I'm always near you, near you
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2] (3x)
I've just begun since you've gone (since you've been gone)
To understand I'm the only one (the only one)
And if you cross yourself at night
[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b]
I'll come and see you, don't run and hide
I'm always near you, I'm always near you
[Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Rhy. Fig 5] (2x)
Near you
[Rhy. Fig 4b w/ Rhy. Fig 5] (21x)
Don't run and hide, you'll be the only one
I said don't try to hide for me and everyone
Don't try to hide, you'll be the only one
I said don't try to hide for me and everyone
Everyone, oh everyone, oh everyone
Everyone, oh everyone, aha, oh everyone
Everyone, oh aha, aha, everyone, oh everyone, aha, oh aha
