With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

And have you all forgotten my helpful and informative thread?

Ingrates.

I really do think the very first chord before the D is an A. One down stroke and then upstroke to the D (or possible A7 which is almost the same chord) for the rest of the line.


You mean in the chorus? Like so...

(A)(D)What are you going to do (G) with your (D)life? (throw in a little jangly Dsus4)

That sounds about right to me.

Fat Cherry was right about this sounding more complicated than it is and being typical Bunnymen in that regard.

It's ironic that while I like this album, the title track never did much for me but I have a new found appreciation of this song now. Those bass lines are great too.

Rust is still the best song on the album even though the chorus is horrific. Way too bouncy.

it's a WAYGTDWYL love-fest

I added this to the tabs section.

I also updated my take on Baby Rain that uses a capo instead. I had it as open chords ( A B E) but it sounds better as G A D with a capo on the 2nd fret I think.

A couple of years ago I worked out a hacky version of most of History Chimes on a piano, but I can't write music so it's in my head but I wrote the chords down and put it up on the tabs section as well. Not sure how accurate it is really since I have not played it in a while. It's pretty much just C Am F G

If anyone wants to take a stab at any other songs on WAYGTDWYL that would be great! These are really great acoustic guitar songs actually.

BTW, the whole tab section will be updated soon and in a new format combined with the discography and lyrics.
