As for the song, it isn't originally a duet but I think the lyrics lend themselves perfectly to this format.

Tuning is DADF#AD
Capo on fret 1 but wherever it suits your voice

Basic chords:
000300
000100
000000
000100
020100

Use pull offs and hammer ons with 1st and 2nd fingers
Other alternative chord that William throws in once in a while is
020102
i.e. Just adding a hammer on or pull off on the second fret of the top E string

then in the last verse the chords are slightly different
000304
000102
000000
020100
i.e. Adding the extra high notes on the top e string, which is a lovely sounding variation

As you will notice mine is a simplified picking pattern.. William does some amazing runs and variations and this is a really good song to practice those on and play around a bit with it

Anyways
I hope that helps!!!
Joe

Here is a supertastic solo acoustic version from the wonderful William himself:

Walked back home from this disaster
Saw your ghost under the plaster

Hearts in throat and broken to pieces

Im coming home

I Lost my way and gave up my treasure

I Hid my heart and lost you forever

There's flesh in me that wont know her father

I cant come home

Loved you first when we were children

You broke my heart but all thats forgiven

We lost our chance to love one another
We'll love again just not each other

[superiorLifeForm]

would you ever consider doing a tutorial?

[joeburton77]

@superiorLifeForm hi, i don't really do tutorials, but i am happy to help out and answer any questions you have about it :)

[jamieyoungsongs]

hi, can you give me the tab for that litlle riff @ 1:52 ,i'm having a little trouble trying to work it out and also is that part all hammer ons and offs? thanks

[joeburton77]

@jamieyoungsongs

hi there

it is open G (3rd) string - hammer on to 1st fret g string - hammer off to open again

then 2nd fret D (4th) string - hammer off to open D string

then second fret A (5th) string - hammer off to open A string

hope that makes sense?

The part in which you sing in the same time is simply amazing! 2:17

Lol - I just saw that you had commented on mine like 6 months ago! Sorry bro, I haven't checked those in forever - time to change that!

[leavingtheisland]

Joe - such a moving performance of one of my favorite songs. I have a cover of this also that you may enjoy - and I would love to collaborate on something like this if you were interested. Peace

[jamieyoungsongs]

@joeburton77 hi, yes perfect sense, I sort of had it but but had 1 or 2 hammer ons/off out of place, it sounds perfect now and I thank you for the very quick reply, cheers mate.
