-===== The Window Song ===== 
-Tabbed by Alex Glasnovic (Gray.Fox@gmail.com) 
-<code> 
-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                            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. 
-                                 Dsus      D 
-you're the one i spent three seasons trying to pretend 
-           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.
