Barbarians

Barbarians - Moulty guitar tab

#

The true story of Barbarians drummer Victor 'Moulty' Moulton, who lost

his left hand at age 14 when a homemade pipe bomb exploded prematurely.

When I was a beat-crazed teen I thought Moulty was just about the coolest

guy in the history of the eardrum (as a beat-crazed middle-ager I still

do) and named my first band 'The Moults' in his honor. Go back to my

home directory and follow the appropriate link to find out what Moulty

is up to nowadays. --AWR

Verse 1:

(spoken):

G9

I remember the days when things were real bad for me

Fmaj7 G9

It was right after my accident, when I lost my hand

Fmaj7

It seemed like I was all alone, with nobody to help me

Em F

You know, I almost gave up all my hopes and dreams

G

But then - then - then something inside me kept tellin' me

G7

Way down inside of me - over and over again

G9

To keep goin' on - yeah, on!

Chorus 1:

C F G F [bass: bend D to Eb]

Moulty!

C F G F

Don't turn away (you're gonna make it, baby)

C F G F

Don't turn away (ah, try to make it, baby)

C F/A /F Eb G

Don't turn away

Verse 2:

Things are better for me now 'cause I found that I love music

So I learned to play the drums and got myself a band, and now

we're startin' to make it

And if you can make it at somethin' you love - wow, you got it all!

So I'm sayin' this to all of you

All of you who think you'll never make it

All of you guys and girls 'cause you think you're so bad off

Or maybe you think you're a little different or strange

So listen to me, now, 'cause I've lived through it all

Chorus:

Moulty!

Don't turn away (you gotta keep on tryin')

Don't turn away (well, don't you give up, baby)

Don't turn away

Verse 3 (first three lines only):

Now there's just one thing that I need - not sympathy, and I don't

need no pity -

But a girl - a real girl - one who really loves me - and then I'll

be the complete man.

So I'm gonna tell you - right now - listen!

Coda [repeat to fade]:

C F G F

Don't turn away (you gotta baby)

C F G F

Don't turn away (you gotta keep on tryin')
