I Wish I Was Live

Hey guys! This is my first tab. I figured this song out by ear and by watching the video. This song is in the key of B major so your capo should be on the 4th fret. I will write the chords as if they are being played without capo though: so the shape is actually the chord the shape is the chord etc. Melodic Figure (x2) B|----------------------------------------0------------------------------------| G|------------0h2h4------2p0------------0--------------------------------------| D|---0--0h2h4-------------------------2----------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------3------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------0h2h4------2p0--------------0------------------------------------| D|---0--0h2h4---------------------------0--------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------3------------------------------------------| A note on the melodic figure- he typically plays the hammer-on run the same every time. Feel free to change it by picking the entire thing instead of hammering for example. Additionally the chords that are played after- ward (glissando for the music theory geeks) leave plenty of room for interpretation. I kept them simple and open for purposes of illustration. [Verse 1] I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle Lighting up your living room high on the mantle I could bring some romance without any scandal And then when you were done you’d just put me out     I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen Putting your groceries away and washing your dishes I could float around your tongue and ease the tension And then when you were done you’d just quiet down     But if I get too close Will the magic fade? Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Now would I push you out? Of something here you care about Well I’m at a loss for what to do But I’m drawn to you   [Verse 2] (Played with a lot more volume than the first.) I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips And when it got too cold into me you’d slip And when the sun came back you would hang me up And I would watch you while you undress     But if I get too close Will the magic fade? Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Now would I push you out? Of something here you care about Well I’m at a loss for what to do But I’m drawn to you [Banjo solo] Melodic Figure (this time I would just recommend you repeat this passage throughout the banjo solo) B|----------------------------------------0------------------------------------| G|------------0h2h4------2p0------------0--------------------------------------| D|---0--0h2h4-------------------------2----------------------------------------| A|------------------------------3---3------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------0h2h4------2p0--------------0------------------------------------| D|---0--0h2h4---------------------------0--------------------------------------| A|------------------------------3-----2----------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------3------------------------------------------| End on an minor chord into and then transition directly into the last verse. I’m not a song I am not a sweater I’m not a fire I am something better I’m a man in love writing you a letter Will you take it Will you keep it Will you read it Believe it I love you I’m sorry.
