So okay, another great song that's hard to find tabs to! If you've never heard the song, you NEEED to watch THIS first:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTjc5Xtz3ho&feature=related

The song's a bit long, so I tried cutting out a few sections to keep it under 6 mins. Hope this helps someone! (btw, I won't be able to teach the guitar solo so just watch the vid 20times and you'll get it.)

Lyrics:
[Tristan]
You know your stunning
Absolutely stunning
And I'm running always running
And now I'm crying
You know only cause I'm caring
And if you were more daring maybe you'd stop staring
And come over and talk to me
And tell me about how you've been waiting patiently
And how you tried but I just turned away
And I'll say, "yeah well you know, I'm shy that way"
Shy that way
Shy that way
Maybe I'm shy that way

[Jason]
You know you're stunning
You're absolutely stunning
But you're always running
But I'll catch up to you...
The way you keep you distance
Keepin my interest so I'll
keep it persistent and so so so so soooo
someday, someway, somehow, some town
We'll get together and we'll break it down
And I'll ask, "why you gotta be so shy, gotta be that way?"
maybe, baby, Oh oh I like it that way
Shy that way
Maybe I, like it shy that way
Maybe I love you so shy that way

There's always too much talking
And I wanna just keep walking
And I keep staring, baby, keep staring
Though I may not know the right things to say
I'll get it out to you one day
Shy that way
Shy that way
Do you like it? do you like it when I'm shy
Yes I like it, yes I like it, when your shy

Shy that way...

  • This chord and this cord with your finger like that and playing this with that chord and that other chord...

    Not the best way to describe it all. This and that chord is hard to keep track for the beginners that might be watching.

    Try to keep to fret and chord numbers. Or even better, learn the theory and you'll be able tell your viewers exactly what you're playing.

  • I tabbed this out at ultimate guitar . com It's called shy that way version 2.

  • @kiwiackles I don't understand that too.. And she is too fast =(

  • i don't understand 1:30 to 1:35. like is the plucking different? or is it just the C. like is the only difference just lifting up your finger for the C instead of pressing that string? thanks!

  • after watching it 15 times i finally realized you cut the clip right after 6:00 lol :O Still, this is best tutorial for this song i can find. mad props for singing this on stage... i wish i could sing without getting stage fright, but your a pro

  • waoooooooowwwww

    ...

    wait i have more to say :

    waaaaooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww­wwwwwww

  • can you show me the solo part?

  • awesome solo! :D gotta watch that part twenty times now to learn! o___O

  • guitars a little out of tune or something. lol. but other than that your voice is pretty smooth and guitar is not bad!

  • u should say the names of the frets when ur talking thru the chords coz ppl tht are just starting out wont know wot the chords r just by naming them but can recognise the shape and know wot fret its at coz quite a lot of the time u cant see wot fret ur on :)

  • Is you guitar a 3/4 size?
