Nascido em Sheffield na Inglaterra,Richard Hawley aprendeu a tocar guitarra logo cedo com seu pai, um fã ardoroso de Gene Vincent e que chegou até a tocar algum tempo com Eddie Cochran.
Sua infãncia foi regada com canções de Roy Orbison, Elvis e Johnny Cash, influencias importantes na formação de Richard Hawley também como vocalista. Estreou definitivamente nos anos noventa como guitarrista da banda de britpop "Longpigs" com quem gravou dois álbuns "The Sun is Often Out" (1996) e "Mobile Home"(1999).
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DARK ROAD - Richard Hawley ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Robbie Email: [email protected]
Tuning: standard
This is a pretty straight forward song to play. The other tab has got the chord progression completely wrong, as well as putting it in the wrong key.
Main riff (arranged for single guitarist):
Bm(1 bar) E (1 bar) A (2 bars) e|-----------2---------0-----------0---------| B|-----------3---------0-----------2---------| G|-----------4---------1-----------2---------| D|-----------4---------2-----------2---------| A|-------0-2-2---------2-4-2-0-2-4-0---------| E|-0-0-2---------------0----------------|
N/C Bm It’s a long dark road EA That I call my home (A) Bm It’s a long dark road EA That I’m cursed to roam
BmE These many nights I’ve been banished here ADmaj7 (xx0222) My companion is the stars BmE With a bed-roll and a blanket ADmaj7 And just the rocks to lay my bones BmE One day from the darkness ADmaj7 I’ll come rapping at your door BmEA And I’ll never walk this road any more
Solo (I've tabbed it out in an easy-to-play format, but I suspect Richard Hawley plays it on fewer strings, and slides between a lot more of the notes):
BmEADmaj7BmEA (1 bar, then pause) e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------2--------------------------------2------------------------| A|-0-2-2-4---4-4-0h2-4-4-0----------0-2-2-4---4-0h2p0----------------| E|-------------------------2-----------------------------------------|
N/CBm It’s a long dark road EA That I call my home (A) Bm It’s a long dark road EA That I’m cursed to roam
BmE These many nights I’ve been banished here ADmaj7 (xx0222) My companion is the stars BmE With a bed-roll and a blanket ADmaj7 And just the rocks to lay my bones BmE One day from the darkness ADmaj7 I’ll come rapping at your door BmEA And I’ll never walk this road any more
BmEA No I’ll never walk this road any more BmEA No I’ll never leave this home any more
Outro:
BmEAA x4 (fades out on the album)
And that's all there is to it. I'm not 100% certain about that Dmaj7 chord, but otherwise it should work fine!
