Then, some chords:
[D] [C] [Am] [G] (4 times)
Now, a guitar:
e ----------------------------

g --------3-5-3---------3-5--- (repeat this forever and ever)
d ----------------------------
a ----------------------------
e ----------------------------
chords: [F] [Eb]
Time for some singing:
A [F] hand held over a [Eb] candle in angst fuelled bra[F]vado [Eb]
A [F] carbon trail [Eb] scores a moist stretched [F] palm [Eb]
(etc.)
And you [C] listen with a [F] tear in [Bb] your eye
to their [C] hopes and be[F]trayels and your [Bb] only reply
is Slainte mhath.
The guitar-riff starts again, with the same chords:
[F] Princes in exile [Eb] raising the standard Dram[F]buie [Eb]
Pa[F]rading their anecdotes [Eb] tired from old cam[F]paigns [Eb]
(etc.)
Take it a[Ab]way
Take it a[Bb]way
Take it a[Csus4]way
Take it a[Bbsus4]way, take it away
Take it a[Csus7]way, take it away
Take me a[C]way! [Bb] [F]
[C] [Bb] [F]
From the [C] dream on a the barbed wire
at Flanders and [Bb] Bilston [F] Glen
From a [C] Clydeside that rusts
from the tears of its [Bb] broken [F] men
(etc.)
And that's all folks!

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 MARILLION 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.
