#I prefer to play this as all bar chords, I like the sound better.
#If anyone can provide corrections, at least let me know too!
#
#"Change II" by The Alarm
#
#INTRO: (play twice, second time with drums)
#
VERSE 1:
It's been a long time coming and it's good to be back
Been in a head on collision with a medicine man
I've been down in the alley where the odds are stacked
Down on my knees, had to turn back
CHORUS:
Change, Change, I need a change, Oh Lord
(play twice)
BRIDGE 1: (chords same as intro)
VERSE 2: (chords same as Verse 1)
Down in a no man's land between sorrow and sweet
(Fill: G|-3b-0--3b-0--3b-0--3b-0-- )
Where the devil himself sits on the judgement seat
Where you drown in your rain, your wind and your sleet
When you're six feet under, down on your feet
BRIDGE 2:
It's got to be tough, to be so true
It's got to be even tougher, to be you
Hammer on the door, singing "God Save The Queen"
I want to leave this place
CHORUS (one time only)
(at this point, everything goes up one step. The chorus then becomes:)
Change, Change, I need a change, Oh Lord
(song ends: )
It's been a long time coming and it's good to be back
I don't know the damn frequency, Michael. So shut the hell up.
