Tyler

Song:  Tyler
Artist:  Toadies
Album:  Rubberneck
Transcribed by:  Ranjit Survanshi

I think this is the best song off of Rubberneck.

The entire song is:  D A B F# G

The entire song is in 4-4 time, unlike a lot of other songs on 
Rubberneck.  A simple rhythm would be D for 2 beats, A for one beat and 
B for one beat, then F# for 3 beats and G for one beat.  Listen to the 
CD to get the exact rhythm.

The intro is
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------7--------7--------7--------7-------------------------------------  play this measure
----------7--------7---------7-------7---------------------------------     twice
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

then
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--7-----7-----7-----7-----7----7-----7---------8---------------------
-----7-----7-----7-----7----6-----6-----6__7------7-----------------   play this four times
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

during that part after the 2nd verse
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
---3-----3-----2-----3-----2-----2-----2---------3------------------   play this twice
------2-----2-----2-----2-----3-----3-----3__4------4--------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

the bass line that runs throughout the song is
---------------------4-------------------------------------------------
-0--0--0--0--2--4---------4--4--4--4--4--4--5--5------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here’s my attempt at the lyrics:

And she runs through her days
With a smile on her face
And she runs and she waits
And I wait

We can drive through any place
Day and night across this state
And in the morning, into Mexico
We will wake up

We will wake up
We will yeah, yeah
I will be with her

I find the window in the kitchen and I let myself in
Running smooth the refrigerator burn myself again
I can’t believe I’m really here, is she lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her ????? ??????

I stumble in the hallway outside her bedroom door
I hear her call up to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls her covers tighter, I press against the door
I will be with her tonight

I will be with her tonight
I will be with her tonight
I will be with her tonight
I will be with her yeah, yeah

So there it is.  I think there are some Toadies pages on the web that 
have lyrics, and they might be more accurate than mine.
