tuning : standard E

these are the chords for this smooth tune . i play this song by fingering the chords as
staccatoed fourth notes , using all fingers except the pinky . to see the chord positions , look
at the bottom of the tab . use a jazzy amp setting , and listen to the song to learn!

intro ( you can just strum these as regular chords ) :
A Am
as i sit staring into this liquid amber , ripples move out to the edge of the glass .

C#m F#7 D
i just want to jump into the warm depths and be there with you , one more time!
oh , alright
