Lyrics: (taken from the Watchmen Homepage)
There once was a feeling that all was
wrong. I'm a shattered young fighter
with hands golden tired I take another
round. Resigned to dealing that all is
wrong.
Fights have gone down by the side of the
road, then candy's done picked me up
out of the cold. If it's a love-quest then I
fear to stay around. If it's a slugfest
then I'm too bad to be around here.
What do you want me to do?

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 WATCHMEN 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.
