The Veils (formed in 2002) are a New Zealand band based in London, fronted by Finn Andrews. His father was a founding member of XTC's Barry Andrews.
Their sound has been compared to artists as diverse as Jeff Buckley, The Birthday Party, The Smiths, and Joy Division. Their live shows have become famed for their emotional intensity and Finn's often scarily possessed stage presence and his unique singing voice.
They released their debut album, The Runaway Found, in Spain late in 2003.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
NOT YET - The Veils ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: Gabe Mathews Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard
The first note in this song is a high C, maybe 5th fret on 3rd (G) string.
Then there's this run: e|-------00-0-0----------0-00-0-0--------| B|-------11-1-1----------0-00-0-0--------| G|-------00-0-0----------1-11-1-1--------| D|-------22-2-2--2-0-0---2-22-2-2-2-0-0--| A|-0-2-3-33-3-3--------3-2-22-2-2-------3| E|-----------------------0-00-0-0--------|
That goes directly into a lightly palm muted Am chord. (All these verses are palm muted lightly)
Am Mama when she'd ride that horse Am Buried out in Wilson field Am Mama'd tell me all she thought Am Mama'd tell me all how ridin' feels
CE And I thought Am Not yet
Am Then mama got too old Am And no one ever rode that horse Am Until one night I stole her key Am And I did ride it all night til dawn
CE And I thought Am Not yet
Am It looks an ugly world out there Am Of girl-guides, disease and war Am I love my little velvet bed Am I never want to leave it any more
CE At least not Am Not yet
Am Charlie was the first I caught Am And Charlie was the first I begged Am To lay an anchor in my heart Am As he ran his fingers down inside my legs
CE And I thought Am Not yet
Am Love I tried to find you x several times
CEAm not yet! Am
C All my fears, they come to me in dreams E May be the end at least far as it seems Am Not yet died and not yet mourned Am Not quite revived just not yet born
Am (palm muted) Mama when she'd ride that horse Am Buried out in Wilson field Am Mama'd tell me all she thought Am Mama'd tell me all how ridin' feels
CE And I thought Am Not yet! CEAm No, mama CEAm No, mama CEAm No, mama
Great song, quite simple. Lots of fun. I was surprised no one had tabbed it out yet. You throw that run in basically anywhere, especially in the "not yet" bits. Spices it up a little.
