Augustana is an alternative rock (or piano rock) band that originally met and formed at Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois, United States. The original band members included Dan Layus, Josiah Rosen, Simeon Lohrmann, and Kyle Baker. The band recorded Midwest Skies and Sleepless Mondays on campus in early 2003. After locally releasing their Mayfield EP, the band parted ways with drummer Kyle Baker and bass player Simeon Lohrmann; and added Josh Calhoun (drums) and Jared Palomar (originally keys, moved to bass guitar) to the lineup.
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!
This song is a pretty much forgotten song within the band itself, i believe. I doubt ever play it, and on the basis of youtube i don't think they've ever played it live and had recorded.
Few basic chords. (Named with simplicity at heart)
DA look at them running off the sidewalk, GD look at us falling off a building, DA look at them reading lights, GD look at me, look at you,
DAGD could everybody standing around us, DA could everybody drown us here GD just looking through the looking glass
Chorus:
DAGDDA D not alone, not alone, not alone, not alone here....etc
(Carries on with the same chord patterns through the verse)
look at the sidewalk cracking under, the under side is black, look at us broken, bricks are falling, the shades of grey look at the shallow, the shallow water, that comes on me walk to the water, walk to the water, shed through the looking glass
not alone, not alone, not alone, not alone here....etc
CDCD (repeated) Interlude: na na na ner na na na ...
DAGDDA D not alone, not alone, not alone, not alone here....etc
NEWLY ADDED:
The 'Charlie' Song at the end of the song:
Tuning: Standard, Capo 2
This is a slightly difficult pattern to play when you play it initially, but it gets easier.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IebQyNNLW-c - This is my example of this tab.
Strum A2 once, then F2 a few times, then C2 once, then alternate between F2 and C2, and go back in to the picking pattern again
Go to sleep..
