Biography:
Tom McRae is a singer-songwriter from the United Kingdom. He grew up in Suffolk, the son of an Anglican vicar. McRae sang in the choir. His mother played guitar and as a teen, he'd borrow it. He began writing songs at 15. At 18 he moved to London to study politics at London Guildhall University, soon forming bands and writing songs. A chance meeting with sound engineer Roger Bechirian led him to a working relationship that shaped McRae's soft-spoken sound and later landed him a deal with DB records.

Chords:
(T=10th fret)
D- T90xxx
A- 540xxx
G- 320003
Now it's essentially just these 3 chords over and over again... normally adopting this
strum pattern... all quick downstrums by the way and notice the hammering on to create
a sus4 effect... very important that you nail it

Occasionally Tom changes the strumming, plays more notes of the chords 'n' stuff but
listen to the record for that banter...
D A G D
Light me a smoke, I'll tell you a story of how the West was won
A G D
Flew over diamonds, east river shining, a city sinking in the mud
A G D
And in a second, a life-long second, I knew what we'd become
A G D
We use up people, use up time, use up places say goodbye searching for the crowded hour
A G D
Now there's a buzzing in the wires, look for lightening in your eyes and I see it there
...and it's just that. For 6 minutes. Any banter (although please none of the historical
civilizations sort...) to [email protected]
