"Gift" by Sugar, from the album F.U.E.L.

Transcribed by Daniel Meijer <dmeijer@zeta.org.au>

The main chord riff....ie the intro...is sus2 chords:
		Bsus2								Dsus2
E---2------------5-----------
B--2-2-2-2------5-5-5-5------
G--4-------4----7-------7-----
D--4------------7-------------
A--2------------5------------
E--x-------------x-----------

Hold the chord while you play the little line on the 2nd & 3rd string. So in the verse, when I say "Bsus2" I mean the riff above.

-----A>>>B---  means bend note A to the pitch of B.

Lead Break:

				F#5						D5					A5						E5						D5
e---------------------5>>>7--------------------
B-----------------------------5>>>>7-----------
G--4>>>>6-----7>>>>9-------------------7>>>>9---


Bsus2		Dsus2
an' I			received this gift from you

A								E													D													E
Pleasantly surprised, I never thought you'd realise that maybe

Bsus2		Dsus2
I						have taken this from you

A							E													D						E
If I was deserving, who am I to disagree

A									E											D								B
How can I refuse this, even if I don't deserve it?

<lead break>

And now, I give this gift to you
Could have got you anything but this will have to do
It's how I give this gift to you
Doesn't seem like much but it's the best that I could do
I'm giving everything away before I go for good.

<lead break>

F#5														E
And once you give the gift away
						D												Bsus2
there's nothing you can do about it.
F#m										E
Nothing that you do or say
				D												Bsus2
can change the way I feel about it
F#m								E
Try to look inside of me
			D													Bsus2
To find the gift that I am giving
F#m									E
Glad you had a chance to see
				D										Bsus2
the gift that I'm delivering

<lead break>
<repeat lead break with bass playing alternate root notes for the chords; end on F#m>
