LOVER YOU SHOULD'VE COME OVER - Jeff Buckley

Tabbed by: Joe Hoblyn

Tuning: Standard

This song is in triple metre 6/8 time, so has a triplet feel. This is just

what I heard from listening to the song, so I'm not certain all the chords

are completely perfect, but it plays fine along with the recording. I named a few

of the chords wrong in the tab, for example 9th chords like D9 and Em9 are

actually added 9th chords.

The tab is written with just block chords, so listen to the song yourself

to get the rhythm of the chords and phrase them how you feel is right. Any

chord mentioned should be tabbed out fully earlier in the song.

Enjoy!

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his

Over a kingdom for a kiss u-pon her shoulder it's never

Over all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft a-
