Pode-se definir Tiger Army como uma banda perseverante. Seu som é uma mistura de Punk, Rock’n Roll puro e muita melodia, com letras marcantes, românticas ou simplesmente nervosas. Tudo isso se deve a Nick 13, o vocalista/guitarrista e letrista da banda, que possui uma voz única e sabe empregá-la muito bem! O grupo se formou em meados de 1996, e com a ajuda de Tim Armstrong, da Hellcat Records e também integrante do Rancid, gravaram o 1º álbum auto-entitulado, em 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!
"Rose of the Devil's Garden" Tiger Army Tiger Army III (Ghost Tigers Rise) Hellcat Records ___________________________________________________________________ (intro) GABBGAAA GABBGFEDEEEE
(v1) BAGG There is a rose in the Devil's garden BDAA In shadow it grows alone BAGG Many things are dangerous now BDAA In this garden we call home BAGG Be careful as you make your way BDDD Some things are poison to the touch BAGG You've spent your life here in this place now BDAA You long to run away so much
(chorus) GAB -F#-A-B-F#-A My love it is a black rose (my love it is a black rose) GAB -F#-A-B-F#-A Held out to you by the hand of fate (held by the hand of fate now) GAB -F#-A-B-F#-A And as this dark romance grows... G low E It's not from the sun, but the starlight that's so far away high E Above the Devil's garden GAB
(v.2) The fertile soil of poisoned hearts Fed by tears and nighttime rain Under Transylvanian moon Grows the flower bred from pain Death is pure - life is not So ask yourself, what do you want? As for me, well I want you So pick the black rose and let its thorns cut you
(chorus) (with out the extra GAB)
(Bridge) BDAG (4x) F#A
(Chorus) ___________________________________________________________________ notes: Contrary to belief, this song is in drop d. You can hear the d in the intro. The upright bass doesn't have frets so it's pointless to use the tab method To find the notes, I held down on the fret board until the G registered on the tuner and put a dot with a marker on the side of the neck for quick reference and then again on A to simulate the 5th fret(this was in standard(EADG) tuning before I dropped it.) I suggest watching the video at tigerarmy.com to watch Geoff's rhythm. This was a big help. Listen to the song to catch the slides and fills between notes, remember,this is rockabilly.
