Subject: Revised CRD: Boiled in Lead, "Army (Dream Song)"
"Army (Dream Song)"
Boiled in Lead
Album: _Orb_
Words and music: Todd Menton
INTRO (single strokes): D D Em G F#m F#m D Em G F#m F#m F#m Bm A
D D Em G F#m F#m D Em G F#m (full measure)
Em (full measure)
D Em G F#m
In my dream I'm suddenly in the army
Em G F#m
And the army life is good
Bm A
But I'm ankle deep in blood
D Em G F#m
So I went to see the quartermaster
Em G F#m
And the quartermaster said
F#m Em
"Your socks are awful red"
I found the master sergeant
I said "Sergeant, I am hurting
I'm considering deserting."
He said "Do whatever's in your conscience"
So I tried to make a run
But I was stapled to the gun
D Em G F#m
CHORUS: And the cannon were lined up all in a line
G F#m
Dark and cold
G F#m
They aimed them all straight upward
Em D
And thunder rolled
REPEAT INTRO
I found the first lieutenant
He said "God, they're going to bomb us
>From their vicious flying llamas!"
I dove into the llama shelter
I became Charlotte Cordet
And the battle fell away
But the peace that reigned in Upper Dreamland
Was badly negated
When the giant slugs invaded
I turned to face my fine young officers
I was barking out my orders
When they crashed across the borders
CHORUS TWICE
Repeat intro chords, end on D
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 BOILED IN LEAD 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.
