Subject: CRD: "Change II" The Alarm
I prefer to play this as all bar chords, I like the sound better.
If anyone can provide corrections, at least let me know too!
"Change II" by The Alarm
INTRO: (play twice, second time with drums)
G G C C G D D Em Em C C
VERSE 1:
G G C C G
It's been a long time coming and it's good to be back
G G C C G
Been in a head on collision with a medicine man
D
I've been down in the alley where the odds are stacked
Em C
Down on my knees, had to turn back
CHORUS:
G D Em C G D Em C
Change, Change, I need a change, Oh Lord
(play twice)
BRIDGE 1: (chords same as intro)
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3----------------5b-3b---------------|
B|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------------3-5b-3b-5-3-----------|
G|--------------------5b-3-0--3-5-------------5-3-5-3-0-|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
VERSE 2: (chords same as Verse 1)
Down in a no man's land between sorrow and sweet
(Fill: G|-3b-0--3b-0--3b-0--3b-0-- )
Where the devil himself sits on the judgement seat
Where you drown in your rain, your wind and your sleet
When you're six feet under, down on your feet
CHORUS
BRIDGE 2:
D
It's got to be tough, to be so true
Em C
It's got to be even tougher, to be you
D
Hammer on the door, singing "God Save The Queen"
Em C
I want to leave this place
CHORUS (one time only)
(at this point, everything goes up one step. The chorus then becomes:)
A E F#m D A E F#m D
Change, Change, I need a change, Oh Lord
(song ends: )
A A
It's been a long time coming and it's good to be back
--
I don't know the damn frequency, Michael. So shut the hell up.
