This a chord interpretation of one of my favourite Two Gallants songs, that I really wish they would update and release again (as they did with their Dyin' Crapshooter Blues cover, an extra track from 'The Bloom and The Blight'). Pretty much the entire song is finger picking, which I'm not all that great at, so I figured the best thing for me to is translate it into chords, and leave the picking to someone else. Although, if I were to try to make an interpretation of the picking it would look a little something like this: G C e|---------------1-0-------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------0------0h3p0----------------------------| D|------------------------------2-----2------------------------------------| A|---2-------2-----------2---3---------------------------------------------| E|-3-----------------------------------------------------------------------| repeat (x3) Then into a picking pattern of the D chord variation below. Now, for the chords used, it's your basic G, C, and D chords, but as for the D chord, you can use this variation throughout the song: E|x B|3 G|5 D|4 A|5 E|x (if anyone knows the name of the chord, it would be most helpful) Song: Git Proud Artist: Two Gallants Album: By The Grace Of God (demo) [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/two-gallants/342841.html ] G C Listen up because I bear the news G C And I do my best to counterfeit some blues G C Or better yet just rearrange some truths D I'll tell you what you need to know I choose G C Perfection hides inside a diamond ring G C But if it don't shine then I don't need to sing G C When it does, well that's the word I bring D Pay no mind if it don't mean a thing C G But I see fire and a hard rain starts to fall C G And humpty dumpty is climbing higher up the wall C G How he got there I just won't recall D C No I don't smell nothing strange D C All is clean, its got no stains D C Streets are clean while he points the blame D C His tricks are new but the bags the same D G Time to play that freedom game so just git proud So hear this because I am the word Well, I'm the circus act and you're the herd But if my remedies seem too absurd You never notice what you never heard 'Cause I can show you how to kill your time And I can tell you where to spend your dime And I can weatherman you when it shines Just listen up and you'll do fine But I see fire and the heavens leave the sky And humpty dumpty told me not to tell you why As if I even had reason to try So here's a tip from me to you Fear your neighbor 'cause he fears you You best act white or he'll tell on you Freedom rings but not for you If you don't know what to do then just git proud G C D (x3) D (variation) There was a protest just the other day A crowd of hoodlums in disarray Shaking fists every which way I can't believe they die their hair that way What they were asking for I won't recall Some kind of anarchy, the worst of all Thank god for us they couldn't pass the wall Big Brother was there standing tall But I see fire and the roof comes tumbling down And humpty dumpty got a new star spangled crown He picks a fight and he twirls his guns around But all his horses and all his men Must be good 'cause good must win But don't you doubt a thing my friend Just grab your flag and jump right in You're either with us or your them so you best git proud |
