Alarm - The Stand chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
This is my first submission. I was surprised to not find this song anywhere because it always my favorite song by them. I had to figure it out myself. I don't think I'm way I figured this sound out on banjo so I'm sure there could be some major descrepancies. The song is actually in A-flat minor. Lets forget that and just detune our guitars. pretty sure that is what they did. When playing guitar (or banjo) you can hammer on the chord from the open strings to give a more 'minor' feel. The harmonica is based on the 3rd of the A minor scale which would be C key harmonica. the record they probably used B since they are tuned down a flat. I seriously doubt Peters used a minor key harmonica. Only losers with sick senses of humor use minor key harmonicas (like me). Its just a simple blow note on the 4th hole and suck notes when you are hitting the G Towards the end of the harmonica line you do a blow note on the 5th hole. please contact me and tell me of my errors in figuring out this song. i'm not a so open to hear the error of my ways. The Alarm - The Stand [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/a/alarm/251397.html ] Am G Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand Am G And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread Am G I met the walking dude,religious, in his wom down cowboy boots Am He walked liked no man on earth G I swear he had no name (had no name) I swear he had no name Am G Am Come on down & meet your maker G Em F G Come on Down & Make the stand F G Em F Come on down come on down come on down F Am we'll make the stand As I crawled beneath the searchlights Looking through the floorboards of this life I met Doctor Strangeloves cousin He bore the marks of time "Hey! Trashcan where you going boy Your eyes are feet apart Is that the end you're carrying Shall I play the funeral march" (play the march) "Play the funeral march" Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down, Come on down & we'll make the stand. Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down, Come on down, we'll make the stand. When I looked out the window On the hardship that had struck I saw the seven phials open The plague claimed man and son Four men at a grave in silence With hats bowed down in grace A simple wooden cross, It had no epitaph engraved (it had no) It had no epitaph engraved. Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down, Come on and make the stand Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down, Come on down, & we'll make the stand. Come roll out the red carpet come bugler sound the horn For the hero is returning you gotta welcome him to his home don't say i didn't warn you the prophecy is coming true i can hear the calvary thundering riding over the hill, riding over the hill Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down, Come on and make the stand Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down, Come on down, & we'll make the stand  |
