The Maccabees se formaron en 2003 cuando su cantante Orlando Weeks comenzó a ensayar en su habitación con el baterista Robert Thomas, el bajista Rupert Jarvis y los guitarristas -y hermanos- Hugo y Felix White. Por aquel entonces, se hicieron adictos a los documentales de la BBC en los que se pasaban directos de XTC, Dr. Feelgood y Talking Heads y, claro, se enamoraron del pop. Su melodioso, espástico y británico sonido recuerda al mejor pop crudo de maestros como The Kinks o Ian Dury
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
This is how i play this song using just chords, not lead parts. However, from this, with a bit of knowledge of scales etc you can figure out the lead parts. I might repost later with the lead parts added.
In the quieter parts D*| x x 0 14 15 14 Bm*| x x 0 16 15 14
The louder more upbeat parts D| x 5 7 7 7 5 Bm| x 2 4 4 3 2 F#m| 2 4 4 2 2 2 A| 5 7 7 6 5 5
Higher F#m | x 9 11 11 10 9
D* Roses in the car D* Roses in the car Bm* Bony saddle, bony street Bm* Corrugated iron sheet D* This bed is not concrete D* This bed in which you sleep Bm* Flesh is flesh til blood runs cold Bm* And blood is blood, so I am told
D*, D*, Bm*, Bm* D*, D*, Bm*, Bm*
D* Your carbon makes a star D* Your carbon makes a star Bm* And after all, that's all we are Bm* After all, that's all we are
Still play the "Quieter" chords, but more vigorously D* That's all we are D* That's all we are Bm* That's all we are Bm* That's all we are D* That's all we are D* That's all we are Bm* That's all we are Bm* That's all we are
Now you switch to the ordinary chords for a bit, playing the "Higher" F#m, and sliding up to it from the Bm.
|D |BmF#m| All these young men, these young lions |D |BmF#m| All these young men, these young lions
D* You don't know if it's true D* Or if to believe in you Bm* There are tunnels through the stone Bm* Where weaker hearts have made a home
D* Their roses in a car D* Their roses in a car Bm* And after all that's all we are Bm* After all that's all we are
The ordinary F#m is played here instead of the higher one.
F#m And isn't it bizarre Bm The adults that we are A Still playing A Follow the leader
D Body don't break D Body don't break D Body don't break D Til broken
F#m Body gonna make F#m Body gonna make F#m Body gonna make F#m Another body
Bm Wooooo-oooo-ooooaahh, woooah oh Bm Don't want to be the last to leave.
