Tuning | BF#BD#F#B |
---|
Capo | None |
As played on Rare Angels
Open B tuning - (this is just like open D
tuning - DADF#AD, only it's three steps down)
BF#BD#F#B
To play it exactly as it appears on this track,
you will need to tune your guitar in this Open B tuning;
otherwise, you can use open D or open C
if it's easier for you to tune it there, but it'll
be in the wrong key
The Java Joe's version is sloppy and
played in Open D, but it's pretty much
the same strum pattern & notes.

VERSE 3 (all as above):
He got a phone call
From her mother
He said, "Yeah, right stop kidding around."
He felt his heart fall to the ground
Since then everyday
Seems to feel like winter
Everything is colorless
As he can't see it with her
Jessica
Jessica
He could easily have been with her
Driving home in the car
It was her birthday
It's sick how things work out that way
Now at night when he sleeps
A watch over him she keeps
She whispers in his ear
For his heart to hear
Jessica
Jessica
It's amazing how a soul can leave
Suddenly from a body
Rendering it useless
And stealing its desire to breathe
One moment here then gone
With no forwarding address
Love no longer has a house
Residence in flesh
Religion without a temple
No place to take your worship to
No God for the eyes to see
No fruit to lay at the feet
of Jessica
