The Answer
----------
by Richie Sambora / Mark Foster
from the album "Stranger In This Town" (1990)
Transcribed by Ertunc Kocakoglu (Mr.Sambo)


Hi everybody,

I haven't tabbed anything in awhile, so I thought I might try to get started again with 
this one. This version is how I try to play this song while fingerpicking.  It is by no
 means gospel, but I think it sounds pretty good.  I think there are actually 2 or more 
guitars playing, or possibly a 12-string on this one... This is as close as I can get 
with one person playing.  Hope you like it.

                                                    Strum the last chord
                                                    slowly, and a distorted
                                                    B5 chord is played 
                                                    under it as everything
                                                    fades out.

That should be everything.  This has taken too long as is, so I'm not going to include 
the words,and I'm also not going to put in the rest of the chords over the top of the bars.  If anyone
else is feeling adventurous enough to do it, go right ahead.  Enjoy this one.

The Answer
----------

The lightning flashed as angels
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
That answer scared me into tears
And all the grownups laughed out loud

Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens

There's a world in every drop of rain
Embracing oceans sweep us home again

Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie

They say for every living thing
There's a guide up in the sky
That helps you pass from world to world
So you never really die

Then with scythe and cloak
Death comes waltzing to your side
As the visions pass you ask
If there was meaning to your life

As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle

Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain
All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain

Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, and you shall find another life

And now my life is like a storm
Growing stronger every day
Like the unrelenting wind
That comes to blow our lives away

So I live each day like I know it's my last
If there is no future there must be no past
Now I know the answers never meant a thing
And with each instant that I breathe
I feel the joy that life can bring

Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie

Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
