Written by: Eddie MacDonald & Mike Peters

Artist: The Alarm

Album: Change (LP record, EIRSAX 1020)

Record Label: I.R.S. Records (1989)

Transcriber: Glyn Hunt

All my own work!

This is the last song on the Alarm's Album "Change",

different from the rest of album's tracks by it's "chapel

song" feel. The recording itself has the Morriston Orpheus

Male Voice Choir and members of the Welsh Symphony

Orchestra singing/playing alongside the band. I haven't

been able to create tabs yet for the orchestral part yet,

but anyone else please feel free to contribute as this is

my first time at writing chords/tabs.

As it stands, the song can be played as a slow guitar

ballad. It tells the story of life for people from the

valley communities of South Wales following the closure of

their mining industries. It should be sung thus as a sad

song, lifting towards the end. Otherwise, it's one of my

favourites, so enjoy!
