Another great song from Holidays In Eden. I saw this played live recently and 
decided to do some tab for it. It's not the most guitar friendly song but still 
a quality track. Look out for the trem bar parts during the solo! 
============================== 
Intro (no guitar) 
===== 

verse 1 
======= 
She bought a bottle of cider  
From the shop on the corner  
They didn't stop her  
Thought she was older 

(random bits of whirring guitar over lyrics) 

She took a bus ride  
To a name and a number  
A house full of music  
And a hatful of wonder  

Chorus (random bits of whirring guitar) 
====== 
And some of the people  
That she thought that she knew  
Were never like this  
When she saw them at school  
She's never been anywhere like this before  
Everybody's so out of control  

verse 2 (Gtr. 1) 
=======

She was in a back room  
Full of strange aromas  
And noises and candles  
That was where he found her  
He took her to a garden  
Full of rain and silence  
And she could smell the soil and the trees  
And see the succulent light from the little fires in his eyes  
Pulling shapes out of the night  
She was enchanted 

Chorus (Gtr. 1) 
====== 
e|-0-0---0-0---0-0---2-2-|-2~-| (D/E played on last line instead of Bm7) 
B|-1-1---3-3---3-3---3-3-|-3~-| 
G|-2-2---0-0---0-0---2-2-|-2~-| 
D|-3-3---2-2---2-2---4-4-|-2~-| 
A|-3-3---2-2---3-3---2-2-|----| 
E|-------0-0-------------|----| 

Then it's twelve o'clock 
And the last bus is gone  
They're gonna go crazy  
When they hear what she's done  
And higher is lower  
And less is like more 
She's never felt anything like this before,

Outro (no guitar) 
===== 
And then it was yesterday  
He said, 'Oh, by the way'  
'Welcome to your first party...'
