All my own work!
This is the last song on the Alarm's Album "Change",
different from the rest of album's tracks by it's "chapel
song" feel. The recording itself has the Morriston Orpheus
Male Voice Choir and members of the Welsh Symphony
Orchestra singing/playing alongside the band. I haven't
been able to create tabs yet for the orchestral part yet,
but anyone else please feel free to contribute as this is
my first time at writing chords/tabs.
As it stands, the song can be played as a slow guitar
ballad. It tells the story of life for people from the
valley communities of South Wales following the closure of
their mining industries. It should be sung thus as a sad
song, lifting towards the end. Otherwise, it's one of my
favourites, so enjoy!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ALARM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
