What a great Monday. finally getting over the Flu.
Figured out this tab last night and was excited to post this. Listen to the song to get the exact rhythm and chord placement. I think it sounds pretty good. What does everyone think ? ? ?

SILVER JET: *** use bar chords ***
Intro is some harmonic thing I haven’t figured out … then F#m A 2x
F#m A F#m A
There's a still in the night, a tuneless moonlight
F#m A B A
just the I-need-you-and-here's-whys of, snoring Gords and Cheryls
F#m A F#m A
there's a heron outside, inviolate light
F#m A B A
there's an urge to go, a shadow, a heightened air of peril

F#m A
your heart jumps to, and my heart jumps too
B
I think, to myself "I don't really know my heart"
D *B *E (1 strum to the ‘me too’)
and as you whisper 'me too'

[D] a silver jet roars overhead
[B] rocks the nocturne all everglade
and gray [A]* sheers --- *1 strum

[D] silver jet, so far off already
[B] ya fought the hot spurs off all the way
to Cape [A] Spear --- *1 strum
F#m A F#m A
it's quiet again, when a car like Big Ben
F#m A B A
it's radio dopplerin', '...'and for all you Gregory Peck fans...
F#m A F#m A
-Let Us Now Praise Famous Men-
F#m A B A
to take some pressure off all the wonderous to fight' and

F#m A
your heart jumps to and my heart jumps too
B
as if the Wolves of Northhumberland themselves
D *B *E (1 strum to the “en route”)
were rumoured to be en route

[D] silver jet, way overhead
[B] yer an archipelago, a satllite,
a green [A*] star *-1 strum

[D] silver jet, so far off already
[B] with your I-need-you-and-here's-why
flying to the next part
F#m A
your heart jumps to and my heart jumps too
B
I'm thinking, to myself, 'packing,is a secret heart'
D B E
and as you whisper, 'me too'

[D] silver jet roars overhead
[B] silver jet flying to the next part
[D] silver jet so far off already
[B] silver jet, a satellite, a green star
[D] silver jet way overhead
[B] silver jet evergladed grey sheers
[D] silver jet, so far off already
[B] silver jet Clayqout sound to Cape Spear --- outro: [F#m A] X4

hey man........nice job on silver jet! works well, any chance that you have tackled Dark Canuck, I would love to learn the riffs for that song! Keep it up!

[cbee]

Thanks very much.

I have beautiful thing almost done.
Then I was thinking dark canuck.

Stay tuned and Stay Hip !!!

Great job! Sounds good.

Just so you know, A Beautiful Thing is played with a high-strung guitar. If you can get it on regular guitar though, that'd be cool.

Has anyone figured out the harmonics? Even a starting point
would be helpful.

This coming from a drummer with an acoustic, but doesn't Bobby just fool around on the high fret's on the High E string?

Intro, and Pre-Verse:
17-16-12-16-12-16-11(b)-11

Pre-Chorus(Your heart jumps too...):
E-------9--12--15--17 (Occasionally hits the 20 on the E)
B--10------------------

This is my first even remote attempt at a tab, but this is probably the easiest song to play on the CD. Nice Bass riff too.

Just mess around on the High E string and you'll find the notes
