Alright, so this is my first tab on this site, hope I don't screw it up. The band is The Sun Parade, a folk/rock group from Northampton MA, and this song, Need You By My Side, is easily their most well-known. You can listen to most of their music on their website, www.thesunparade.com or http://thesunparade.bandcamp.com/, or watch the music video for this song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFmzz9eUHro to get a good idea of it. Also, I figured out these chords just by listening to the track and watching the band play, so it might not be 100%, but it's pretty darn close. If you feel like you can improve on it, don't hesitate to message or email. Anyway, without further ado: -----------------------------------------Need You By My Side - The Sun Parade ------ Tabbed by: scipio323 E-mail: tap2@comcast.net Chords used: E E2 A C#m B A2 [ch]C#m/Bb[/ch] (I really don't know what that last chord is, but that's what I'm calling it.) e|-0----4----5----4----2----0----4---| B|-0----5----5----5----4----2----5---| G|-1----4----6----6----4----2----4---| D|-2----6----7----6----4----2----4---| A|-2----7----7----4----2----0----6---| E|-0----4----5----4----2----0----4---| Tuning:eBGDAE This intro riff is also played over most of every verse; it's simple, but easier to show than describe the chords used.
