INTRO: G# | A Then A ---------------| E ----0-0-2------| Repeat above 3x then G# | A A --------------------| E --0-0-2---0-0-2-----| THE SONG: G# A G# A Crying parents tell their children If you survive don't do as we did A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to Her daughter says she'll be dead with you While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten Line morale has hit rock bottom Dying embers stand forgotten Talks of peace were being trodden A E F#7 Stand or fall state your peace tonight Stand or fall state your peace tonight Is this the value of our existence Should we proclaim with such persistence Our destiny relies on conscience Red or blue what's the difference Stand or fall state your peace tonight Stand or fall state your peace tonight [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/f/fixx/202209.html ] An empty face reflects extinction Ugly scars divide the nation Desecrate the population There will be no exaltation (This line is all F#7) Its the euro theatre Its the euro theatre Its the euro theatre Stand or fall state your peace tonight Stand or fall state your peace tonight Its the euro theatre Its the euro theatre Its the euro theatre Its the euro theatre Listen to the song to get the rhythm right. Note that when The Fixx plays this, the G#-A progression is played like this: ----4----0-------| ----4----5-------| ----5----6-------| ----6----7-------| -----------------| -----------------| However, if you're like me, that progression has a tendency to make your hand cramp up, I play it like this: ----4----0-------| ----4----2-------| ----5----2-------| ----6----2-------| -----------------| -----------------| Also, the little lick after that is relatively easy, so during the song you can play: ----4----0-------0---0-0-2-2-----| ----4----2-----2-----------------| ----5----2-----------------------| ----6----2-----------------------| ---------------------------------| ---------------------------------| |
