p = Pull off
~ = Hold Note/Let Ring
PM = Palm Mute
Great song by Genesis, even better by Disturbed.
If you don't like my Tab, don't post flames and crap like that saying "You suck". This
probably THE NUMBER ONE internet guitar tab site. Go use one of the other thousands of
it has to offer. But on another note, this is my version of Land of Confusion by
And don't forget, if you plan on playing along with the CD, remember to tune to DROP D FLAT!
This song isn't too difficult. The Guitar I Verse can be frustrating to get the rythym
first, but just practice it enough and you'll get it in time. And if you have trouble
positions during the Intro, Just use the root notes on the Low E (In this case D)
That's what I did when playing for friends and family and concerts etc. Again, those parts
take time and practice to get.
Intro: (Recommend Only Downstrokes)

LYRICS:
Verse:
I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
Pre-Chorus:
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?
Chorus:
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Verse:
Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, I hate these men of power
I'm losing control by the hour
Pre-Chorus:
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion
Chorus:
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Interlude:
I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake up this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago
Verse:
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
Pre-Chorus:
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?
Chorus:
Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to
That's all there is Folks. If you got any questions email me at zodiac.reaper@hotmail.com
