This is ONE WAY ... by the levellers ...
The first track on the 'Levelling the Land' album..
It is in 4/4 timing and the chords are as follows ...
Bm D E A G D
There's only one way of life and thats your own, your own
A
your own........
Play 1 bar of each chord .. 4/4 timing
D D F G D D F
Then the first verse starts ....
G D
My father, when i was younger took me up on to the hill ......
F G
that looked down on the city smog and above the factory spill.
D F
Now this is where i come, when i want to be free ... Well he never
G
was in his life time .. and these words stuck with me ...
Hey ....
Then it repeats the same chords ie (DFG a few times...)
And thats the whole song ... wow .. that was hard ...
The rest of the lyrics are like this : -
And so i ran from all of this,
and i climbed the highest hill
and i looked down onto my life,
above the factory spill.
And i looked down onto my life,
as the family discrace,
then all my friends on the starting
line , their wages off to chase,
Yes, and all my friends and all their
jobs and all this bloody waste..
Theres only one .. way of life ..
and thats your own ....... etc
Well, well ,well
I grew up learned to love and laugh,
circled A's on the underpass..
the noise we thought would never
stop ..
died a death as the punks
grew up ..
and we choked on all our dreams,
we wrestled with our fears..
were running through the heartless concrete streets..
chasing our ideas.. run!
And all the problems of the Earth..
wont be solved by this guitar,
and they wont stop coming either
by the life i've had so far...
And the bright lights of my home
town, wont be getting any dimmer ..
though their calling has receded
like some old and distant singer.
And they dont look so appealing
to the eyes of this poor sinner..
Chorus (twice)
As you can see .. Its just such a difficult song its unbelievable...
well maybe not ....

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 LEVELLERS 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.
