===== The Window Song =====
Tabbed by Alex Glasnovic (Gray.Fox@gmail.com)
The melody is played by picking the strings in the fashion of D-G-B-E-B-G,
and normally for each chord it's done twice before moving on, except for the
second E and the chords in the chorus; they're only performed one time through.
INTRO - A D A E A D A E
A D
a knocking sound it woke me up,
A E
but my legs were feeling weak.
A D
i stared up at the ceiling and i saw you at the window.
A E A
but my mouth wouldn't let me speak.
A
i know you.
E A D A
you're the one i spent three seasons trying to pretend
E A
that i never knew.
something pulled me off the bed.
and the same thing moved the muscles in my legs.
i moved towards you voice, and my body got so light,
i could've walked on eggs right then and not broken a one of them.
(chorus)x4
//of course, after the first chorus, resort to strumming!//

Chorus:
same picking pattern, chords are D A D Dsus D A D and picked only once, (rather than in the verse where most of them are played twice.)
like this:
D
i know you.
A D Dsus D
you're the one i spent three seasons trying to pretend
A D
that i never knew.
There are a few variations in the song, for instance the intro, when he switches from D to Dsus he hits the root note twice and skips the G string,
or at the part where he says "window" in the first verse, he strums the Dsus a few times.
Play the chorus the 3 last times just strumming the chorus chords, simple enough.
