Evermore - This Unavoidable Thing Ukulele

on the evermore forum.

This song is played with the guitars tuned down half a step. So, the lowest E string
is to an Eb, A to an Ab, and so on.

As you can hear in this song, the riff in the verse is not exactly challenging... all
it is John picking a single note at a time, on the E string of his guitar. All it is, is this:

E ----5--5--5-5--5-5--3--3--3-3--2-2--------------------------------------|
A ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e ------------------------------------------------------------------------|


And repeating. If you want to strum along to it, the chords would be

Am                G               F#m

Again, its not too tough.
Now, the pre chorus gets a bit trickier:

      Am    Em        F         C        G     (G* Riff)
And everytime you say the words I feel (x2)

                        F
The night is long today
                             G
My love for you has changed
                        F
The night is long today
   C                    G
A hope has been replaced

Now it goes into that whole breakdown, with all the "a littles"
Em        Am        C          G           Em        Am       C
A little... to late, a little... to soon, a little... to give a little...

That little cycle (Am   C   G   Em) repeats, except on  "lose a little" the Am is replaced by an F.

Now dann picks up his little drummer boy snare, and does his tricks. From here on in,
progression is:

                     F          C
And it wont be long
                     G          Em
And it wont be long

This continues to rock out for a bit. Then there is that bit at the end where it all a
bit crazy with different chords. I'm still working on some acceptable chords for that,
it be posted here shortly.

Lyrics:

This unavoidable thing between us

Between us I fell this undeniable thing
Between us so real this unavoidable thing
Between us I see this undefinable thing, between us.

Everytime you say the words it's real
and every time you say the words, i feel

The night is long today, my love for you has changed
The night is long today, a hope has been replace
All the steps we take, the ones that lead away, a little

When we walk away, we only grow more near
When we turn away, it all becomes so clear
This unavoidable thing, joing us

A little too late, A little too soon, a little
to give a little, to take a little, to lose a little,
to find a little, to die a little, to live a little

and it wont be long....
'cause its falling down and i'll take you there....

For now, enjoy the tab!
