CRANBERRIES - "i cant be with you" Tablature
Official CRANBERRIES Tablature & Sheet Music »

"I can't be with you", The Cranberries.
---------------------
From their 2nd album 'No need to argue'
Not sure if this has been done already, but as I was doing the
Cranberries at the moment, I thought someone would like this.
Try to get the Irish accent. It makes it so much nicer ;)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A E
Lying in my bed again,
F#m D
And I cry cause you're not here.
A E
Crying in my head again,
F#m D
And I know that it's not clear.
A
Put your hands, put your hands
E F#m D
Inside my face and see that it's just you.
A
But it's bad, and it's mad,
E
And it's making me sad
F#m D
Because I can't be with you
Chorus:
------
A E F#m D
Be with you, Be with you, Be with you, Be with you,
A E
Be with you, Be with you,
F#m D
Babe I can't be with you.
Thinking back on how things were
And how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother
of your child
And now it's just farewell
Put your hands inside my hands
And come with me,
We'll find another end
And my head, and my head
On anyone's shoulder
Cause I can't be with you.
(Chorus)
Cause you're not here, you're not here
Baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, you're not here
And back I'm still in love with you.
(ad. lib to end)

Again, this sounds good on an electric-acoustic, using a Passac or
DI and a bit of reverb - but don't go overboard!
The best way to get the 'muffled' acoustic sound is to cut your
fingernails and use no pick. Use your thumb and index finger on
the strings, quickly raking, and your palm to slightly deaden the
strings.. still, if you find a better way... ;)
Use >5th barres for the chords (A == E @ 5th, E == A @ 7th,
F#m == Am @ 7th, D == A @ 5th) when it starts getting going.
Open chords sound good at the start, but once the rest of the
band kicks in, the rapid raking of the barres sounds better.
Haven't worked out the electric in the background yet, tho.
Enjoy.

Cheers!

I Can't Be With You- The Cranberries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the album:No Need to Argue
To all the people who asked for more Cranberries tabs, sorry for
the long wait; I've been pretty busy lately. Here is what I came up
with!
Intro: Bb Cm Gm Bb- picked in order of strings: 5,4,3,4
-this is just a guess because I don't have much time to check.
Verse: picked in similar fashion as intro
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Crying in my bed again and I cry 'cause you're not here
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Crying in my head again and I know that it's not clear
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Put your hands, put your hands inside my face and see that it's just you
Bb Cm
But it's bad and it's mad and it's making me sad
Gm Bb
because I can't be with you
Chorus: strummed
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Be with you, be with you, baby I can't be with you
Verse 2: played as verse 1
Thinking about on how things were and on how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother of your child and now it's just farewell
Put your hands in my hands and come with me, find another hand (?)
In my head, in my head, on anyone's shoulder, 'cause I can't be with you
Chorus: same as chorus above
Be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you, baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, cause you're not here, baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, cause you're not here, baby still in love with you
