The Fureys - The Lovers - From "The First Leaves of Autumn" album
G D EM BM C
Soldiers and dreams are like lovers who come without warning
AM C AM C D
and take you by surprise when you think you must make it alone
G D EM BM C
but sooner or later their presence it's only a memory
AM C D D7 G D
but you know that without them we'd never have rolled back the stone.
G D EM BM C
My darling once told me that loving it's better than living
AM C AM C D
but I told her survival for me it's the easier game
G D EM BM C
I couldn't live with her it's now I just can't live without her
AM C D D7 G D
I thought I'd feel different but somehow I still feel the same
G D EM BM C
Romeo tells me that Juliet can't live without him
AM C AM C D
and Aphelia's crazy for Hamlet who wants to be king
G D EM BM C
and away in the distance Marc-Anthony loved Cleopatra
AM C D D7 G D
While Portia sits silent soliloquizing in the wings.
G D EM BM C
While lovers lie sleeping I find myself travelling towards you
AM C AM C D
the wind and the rain is as soft as the sigh on your face
G D EM BM C
What's ever before me is nothing to what I have lived through
AM C D D7 G D
the pain, the passion, the lust, the tears and the lies
G D EM BM C
So if lovers are losers then what price this game we are playing?
AM C AM C D
And what price the man who has not got the money to pay?
G D EM BM C
When the voices and prayers of the angels were just an illusion
AM C D D7 G D
For the lost and the lonely and those who have nothing to say.
I just love The Fureys.....this song is possibly one of their lesser
known songs...but it is one of my favourites. It makes good poetry
even if the album is no longer available.
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 FUREYS 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.
