LIVE - "lightning crashes" Tablature

Subject: CRD/TAB Lightning Crashes w/solo &bass
Here is the twentieth posting for this tune. This transcription is accurate to
the CD, however I believe that Live detunes to Eb for their songs. If you want
to detune and play the fingerings as (F-C-G) no problem. In that case the
bridge would also be up a half step to Am and G.
A cool tune that is easy to play but kind of tough to sing
just right. Get that passion in your voice and stress
the dynamic variations in the song (quiet vs. loud sections).
TAB section by M. Livengood when I had a fever so maintain
an open mind.
Lightning crashes
-Live
Intro (Clean guitar) (E-B-F#)
E B F#
Lightning crashes...a new mother cries...
Her placenta falls to the floor...
The angel opens her eyes...
The confusion sets in...
Before the doctor can even close the door...
Lightning crashes...an old mother dies...
Her intentions fall to the floor...
The angel closes her eyes...
The confusion that was hers...
Belongs now to the baby down the hall... (Bass in)
E B F#
Oh now feel it coming back again...
Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind...
Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again...
I can feel it...
E B B
Lightning crashes...a new mother cries... (Drums in gently)
This moment she's been waiting for...
The angel opens her eyes...
Pale blue colored eyes...
Presents the circle and puts the glory out to hide, hide...
E B F#
Oh now feel it coming back again...
Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind...
Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again...
I can feel it... (Heavy guitar in)
I can feel it...
Solo (G#m-F#) (E-F#) Oh I...
(Quietly)
I can feel it coming back again...
Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind...
Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again...
I can feel it... (Everybody in)
I can feel it coming back again...
Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind...
Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again...
I can feel it...
I can feel it...

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 LIVE 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.
