 =============================================================================

 This is one hell of a tab do write out all as one so I've divided it into 
two sections:
 (1) - Lead 
 (2) - Rhythm

 You will find all the lead tabbed first and then the chords with lyrics 
below.

 GUITAR TUNINGS:

 LEAD   - Standard (E A D G B e)
 RHYTHM - Tune to  (E A B G B Eb) 

 =============================================================================

                                                    (LEAD SECTION)

 INTRO: Note that there are two lead guitars playing simultaneously here

 PRECHORUS 1: Alternate between the C#m's like Chris does. You should be 
able to hear these changes on the record

                 C#m
 But on and on, from the moment I wake,
                   F#13
 To the moment I sleep,
         F#6(sus4)     F#13
 I'll be there by your side,
          F#6(sus4)         C#m
 Just you try and stop me,

 I'll be waiting in line,
                      B
 Just to see if you care,

 (Part II)
 
 G#m          Bbdim        B6 
      Did you want me to change,
          Bbdim      G#m       
 Well I'd change for you,
       Bbdim        B6
 And I want you to know,
             C#m9aug5         B6
 That you'll always get your way,
    Bbdim    G#m    Emaj7/G#
 I wanted to say,

 CHORUS 1:
                B    F#m7    Aadd11+   G#m
 Don't you shiver,
      B    F#m7    Aadd11+   G#m

      B    F#m7    Aadd11+   G#m
 Shiver,
      Aadd11+              G#m
 I'll always be waiting for you, 
  
 VERSE 2: Same chords

 So you know how much I need you,
 But you never even see me, do you,
 And is this my final chance of getting you,

 PRECHORUS 2: Same chords

 But on and on from the moment I wake,
 To the moment I sleep,
 Ill be there by your side,
 Just you try and stop me,
 I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care,
 
 Did you want me to change,
 Well I'd change for you,
 And I want you to know,
 That you'll always get your way,
 I wanted you say,
 
 CHORUS 2: Same chords

 Dont you shiver,
 Shiver,
 Shiver,
 I'll always be waiting for you,

 Yeah I'll always be waiting for you,
             B       Aadd11+     Emaj7
 Yeah I'll always be waiting for you,

 For you, I will always be wating,

 CHORUS 3: Same chords

 And it's you I see, but you don't see me,
 And it's you I hear so loud and so clear,
 I sing it loud, and clear,
 And I'll always be wating for you,

 OUTRO:

        E             Esus2
 So I look in your direction, 
          E          Esus2           
 But 
you pay me no attention,
           E             Esus2
 And you know how much I need you,
           E        Esus2
 But you never even see me..

Comments on this version of the 'Shiver' guitar tab

lphockey11Unknown Date

this is an amzing tab, and i'm not that great at guitar so i may be wrong, but for the 3rd time you play chorus 3, instead of

G--9---/11\8~~~--|

shouldn't it be

B-10---/12\9~~~--|

G--9---/11\8~~~--|

let me know if i'm wrong, it may just be the distortion they use...
