The Stranglers siempre supieron, unas veces más afortunadas que otras, especialmente en su primera y fenomenal etapa, pero casi siempre con interés, acomodarse a las tendencias sonoras del momento. Así, con influencias de la Velvet Underground, Television, The Kinks, Zappa, The Rolling Stones, The Doors o, en general, el garage-rock/proto-punk 60’s, pasaron con facilidad del pub rock al punk, la new wave o al pop de sintetizadores, en una larga carrera principiada a mediados de los años 70.
¡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 was originally penned by Baz Warne, now current lead guitarist/vocalist on The Stranglers. It's a pretty mellow song that comes off the Norfolk Coast album. Some of the vocal phrasing, especially verse 2 is a little tricky, so I'd suggest listening to the song. Chords are pretty simple: Em, C, D, Bm, G.
I play it with a capo on the second fret. Standard tunings. Enjoy!
Verse 1:
Em I’ve seen you there, C I’ve seen you doing your thing in your own space, DBm In your own time, and that’s just fine
Em But where do you go C And have you been somewhere lately where you’ve seen, DBm You’d be carefree, if not for me
Chorus
EmBmCG Look back to the time when our paths first came together
EmDCBm Gazing at a yellow Dutch moon, do it soon
EmBmCG Remember my face and the pla-ces it took you
BmDEm Under a fading Dutch moon
[Guitar Solo]
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2:
Em I felt you go,
C I felt you leaving behind all that we had,
DBmEm In an instant, you’re a firebrand, now I curse the moon,
