Livin' Thing ELO ... Guitar cover by Phil McGarrick. FREE TABS

Описание: "Livin' Thing" is a song written by Jeff Lynne and performed by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). It appears on ELO's 1976 album A New World Record and was also released as a single. Patti Quatro sang uncredited vocals, particularly the "higher and higher" parts. The original single had "Fire On High" on the flip side, a tune that became the band's most popular instrumental piece.

Played on my Fender Custom Stratocaster 56 NOS fitted with Kinman Impersonator 54 v3 pickups on Bridge position through a Boss OS-2 Over drive Pedal and an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 1-66 Abbey road reverb.

I made Tabs out of the way I played it which are FREE to download along with the BT from my website here : https://philmcgarrick.co.uk

Lyrics
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic
Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's magic
And you and your sweet desire
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
I'm takin' a dive
Dive
Makin' believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive)
Oh, movin' in line, then you look back in time
To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
I'm takin' a dive
All the same
Hey
Takin' a dive, 'cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive)
Oh, so let her go, don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream (I'm takin', I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
