WORLD PARTY - "is it like today" Tablature
Official WORLD PARTY Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: etxjrun@etxu.eua.ericsson.se (Jan Runesson)
Here is a great song from the former Waterboy's memeber Karl Wallinger.
His new band is called World Party and this is a song called Is it like today.
Any help with it would be greatly appreciated. The chords are ok, but the timing
is probably not perfect(without my guitar here). As you see, I also need some
help with the lyrics. Anyway here it is.....
---- Is it like today by World Party --------------------------------------
Many years ago[G] he[D] looked [Am]out trough a glassless window
All that he could see[G] was [D]Babylon[Am]
Baeutiful green fields[G] and dreams[D] and learn [Am]to measure the stars
But there was a worry[G] in[D] his heart[Am]
He said,
[Em]How could it come to this[C]?
I'm really worried[Em] about living[C]
How could it come[Em] to this[C]?
Yeah I really want to know[Em] about this[C]
Is it like today?[G][D][Am]
Then there came a day
It moved out 'cross the mediterranean
Came to western isles and the greek young men
And with there silver beards they laughed
At the unknown of the universe
They could just sit and guess Gods name
chorus
two or three more verses to follow.......

I think you may find an Em at the apropriate places above
: He said,
: [Em]How could it come to this[C]?
: I'm really worried[Em] about living[C]
: How could it come[Em] to this[C]?
: Yeah I really want to know[Em] about this[C]
: Is it like today?[G][D][Am]
I play the chorus like this (not saying its right) give it a
try.
: He said,[Am]
: How [Am7]could it [D]come to this[Am]?
: [Am7]I'm really worried[D] about living[Am]
: [Am7]How could it come[D] to this[Am]?
: Yeah I[D] really want to know about this[C]
: Is it like today?[G][D][Am]
Have fun,

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 WORLD PARTY 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.
