Subject: TAB: Save This House by Spirit of the West
Save This House
by Spirit of the West
From the "Save This House" Recording
Written by Kelly/Mann
Transcribed by John Siambani bb233@freenet.carleton.ca
This is an up-tempo song that I have transferred to acoustic. The Asus4 and A alternating chords need a wah pedal to get the effect as on the record but if you play the note distinctly you can still get the overall feel. Come see me play and I'll show how exactly how it is done. Otherwise I hope the tab is helpful.
Intro chords: E D A (Asus4)
E Dsus2 A Asus4 A alternating
E-------X-X----X-X----------------0---
B-------3-3----2-2--3--2--3--2----0---
G--1-1--2-2----2-2--2--2--2--2---(1)--
D--2-2--0-0----2-2--2--2--2--2---(2)--
A--2-2---------0-0---------------(2)--
E--0-0---------------------------(0)--
For the verses just play each chord twice: EE E D D A A ffr each line.
I'm not worried it's a million miles away
Yeah I saw the news it happens every day
Some Cronkite look-alike numb from what he's reading
Wake me up wake me up it's one of us that's screaming
Chorus:
E A D A
Save this h-o-u-s-e
Save this house the party's gotta end
The welcome mat's worn out & the roof'll never mend
The furniture's on fire this house is a disgrace
Someone change the locks before we trash this place
That's pretty well it.
John Siambani

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 SPIRIT OF THE WEST 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.
