Brand new Howie! Just heard an acoustic version of the song. Thought I'd
tab it out.

Note: Standard tuning


Note: Through out the entire tab where I've notated to play an Fmaj7 chord
Howie actually strums back and fourth between the Fmaj7 chord Fmaj9th.

That is:

        Fmaj7   Fmaj9th
e |-----0------0------
b |-----1------1------
g |-----2------0------
d |-----3------3------
a |-----3------3------
E |----(1)----(1)-----

The only change between the two chord shapes takes place on the G string.


PART 1: 

        Amin    Gmaj   Fmaj7  
e |-----0-------3------0------
b |-----1-------3------1------
g |-----2-------0------2------
d |-----2-------0------3------
a |-----0-------x------3------
E |-----x-------3-----(1)-----


PART 2: 

        Gmaj   Fmaj   
e |-----3------0------
b |-----3------1------
g |-----0------2------
d |-----0------3------
a |-----x------3------
E |-----3-----(1)-----


PART 3:

        Cmaj    Gmaj   Fmaj
e |-----0-------3------0------
b |-----1-------3------1------
g |-----0-------0------2------
d |-----2-------0------3------
a |-----3-------x------3------
E |-----x-------3-----(1)-----


LYRICS (as heard on the "KBCO Studio C" session)


(1) It's the perfect time of day 
It's the last day of your life 
Don't let it drift away 
While your heart is still racing 
It's the perfect time of day 

(2) And you won't feel a thing 
And you won't recall anything at all 

(1) Close your eyes and take your last breath 
Rest your head inside
The end is the beginning 
And every point between
Some are lost, some are lost

(2) And you won't feel a thing 
And you won't recall anything at all  

(3) Let your colors collide 
Oh the time is so fleeting 
I quit running behind 
Oh I know your meaning 
You look to far
For what you want to say
And you look for
The perfect time of day 

(1)

(2) And you won't feel a thing 
And you won't recall anything at all 

(3) It's the perfect time of day 
It's the perfect time of day 
Come on now, come on now, come on
It's the perfect time day
Come on now, come on now, come on
It's the perfect time day
Come on now, come on now, come on
