So here are the chords for 'Snowfall' by that unfortunately underground
basement punk/pop band 'The Halo Benders'. I heard the Halo Benders' excellent 'Don't touch my bikini' on MTV's Alternative Nation, hired the album and have become a fan ever since.
The chords are taken from the original version from the first track from the album 'God make no junk'. (1994, I think)
'Snowfall' is a beautiful song with I think about 3 guitars and one of those Latin-American shakers as percussion. (Forgot the name) Of course there's also a bass guitar. The chords written out below are what the lead guitar plays.
The lyrics (incomplete) are also my own (bad) interpretation, with a lot of help from my good friend Stephanie, who actually got my Halo Benders addiction started! Rock on, Steph! Note that sometimes two voices are singing, one low sexy voice and one normal one.
So don't get confused, and good luck!

Snowfall
by Halo Benders
Here are the chords used.Strum them lightly. I use an acoustic guitar.
E Esus G# A Am B C#m F F# F#m
e|--0-----0-----4-----5----5-----7-----9-----1----2-----2-----|
b|--0-----0-----4-----5----5-----7-----9-----1----2-----2-----|
G|--1-----2-----5-----6----5-----8-----9-----2----3-----2-----|
D|--2-----2-----6-----7----7-----9-----11----3----4-----4-----|
A|--2-----2-----6-----7----7-----9-----11----3----4-----4-----|
E|--0-----0-----4-----5----5-----7-----9-----1----2-----2-----|
Throughout the whole song, you kind of keep your fingers in the same position, using your middle finger to decide whether to play a minor (m) chord or not.

--->This D# ain't a piece of cake on an acoustic!
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 HALO BENDERS 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.
