FADED LOVE (by John Wills & Bob Wills)
—————————————
TAB by Greg Vaughn ([email protected]) based on chords and lyrics
by Adam Schneider ([email protected])
The tab is actually a simplified version of the fiddle intro. I included
the chord names in case you want to fill in the inner beats with chord
strums (like I do). I’m afraid you’ll have to play with it to get the
feel right for this. The intro is in D and changes key to E at the end.

E E7 A A
As I look at the letters that you wrote to me
E E B7 B7
It’s you that I am thinking of
E E7 A A
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet
E B7 E — A E
I remember our faded love
CHORUS: E E A A (I like barre chords
I miss you, darling, more and more every day for the chorus -Greg)
E E B7 B7
As heaven would miss the stars above
E E A A
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
E B7 E — A E
And remember our faded love
E B7 E — A E
[instrumental]
As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had
As I watched the mating of the doves
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love
CHORUS
