  24 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>
  25
  26 <p>There are two problems with this song concerning how to translate it
  27 to a tab for a single guitar. One is the use of a capo or not, the
  28 other is what to do with the sustained Bb (the key note) throughout
  29 the verse. It can be played uncapoed, with barre chords, but then the
  30 sustained tone will have to go, along with other sublteties that are
  31 more easily produced if you play with a capo somewhere. I include two
  32 such versions at the end.</p>
  33
  34 <p>The &ldquo;F(6)&rdquo; (and correspondingly in the other versions) is not
  35 absolutely necessary - it comes out of the mixture of tones.</p>
  36
  37 <p>The chords in the beginning of the verse should be embellished: Bb -
  38 Eb/bb - Bb (capoed: A - D/a - A and G - C/g - G) and Eb - Ebsus4 - Eb
  39 (D - Dsus4 -D; C - Csus4 - C).</p>

  57 You want a watered-down love
  58
  59 Love that's pure, it don't make no claims,
  60 Intercedes for you 'stead of casting you blame,
  61 Will not deceive you or lead you to transgression,
  62 Won't write it up and make you sign a false confession.
  63 You don't want a love that's pure
  64 You wanna drown love
  65 You want a watered-down love
  66
  67 Love that's pure won't lead you astray,
  68 Won't hold you back, won't mess up your day,
  69 Won't pervert you, corrupt you with stupid wishes,
  70 It don't make you envious, it don't make you suspicious.
  71 You don't want a love that's pure
  72 You wanna drown love
  73 You want a watered-down love
  74
  75 Love that's pure ain't no accident,
  76 Always on time, is always content,
  77 An eternal flame, quietly burning,
  78 Never needs to be proud, restlessly yearning.
  79 You don't want a love that's pure
  80 You wanna drown love
  81 You want a watered-down love
