this is one of my favourite frames songs from their gorgeous album
“for the birds” and when i looked online there was no tab available ,
so the guitar player in me had to learn it the old fashioned way .
for too long i have relied upon other people to tab songs that i
want to play . now it’s high time i did it myself .
i looked at live performances of glen playing this song by himself .
the song is a rather simple one but with a deeply beautiful melody that
glen sings with absolute conviction . this tab is as close as i possibly
can get to how glen plays it . if you have corrections of your own , feel
free to let me know . cheers & gra mor!
here are the main chords :

( verse 1 )
F#m11 A Asus4 A
returning with the listless ,
F#m11 A Asus4 A
and staying close behind
F#m11 A Asus4 A E
and the arms that once held you have receded ,
F#m11
over time
( chorus )
Asus4 A
and the little love i had
Asus4 A
for all my friends and foe
Asus4 A Asus4 E
and the little lines we’ve drawn between us all have
F#m11
taken hold
( verse 2 – same chords as verse 1 )
in the early morning walking ,
and the pressure in the night
and the walls that held you with us have fallen
out of sight
Asus4 A
and the little love i had
Asus4 A
for all my friends and foe
Asus4 A Asus4 E
and the little lines we’ve drawn between us all have
F#m11
taken hold
Asus4 A
and the little love i had
Asus4 A
for all the friends i know
Asus4 A Asus4 E A
and the little time we got to share was worth it after all
instrumental : F#m11 A Asus4 A x3 E F#m11
( verse 3 – chords same as verse 1 & 2 )
now we work it out in silence ,
and the subplots to the end
and it’s falling out of favour ,
you’ve seen me where i Am
and the little love i had for all my friends and foe
and the little lines we’ve drawn between us all have taken hold
and the little love i had for all the friends i know
and the little time we got to share was worth it after all
