Let Robeson Sing

by Nicky Wire

from the album 'Know Your Enemy'

Tabbed by Brian (gandalfmithrandir@supanet.com)

I worked it out on my acoustic, and I think the song works best that way,

although I saw James play it using his Les Paul on 'Later..'. If you do play

it electric, use the bridge pickup, through a clean channel.

This is the best song on the new album I think, although 'Ocean Spray' runs it

close. It's really simple: based on a D chord progression. This is my first

tab that I've posted, so any problems, please email me.

Main riff:

D A

E:--2-2-3-2-0-----0-------------

B:--3-----------3--2-2-3-2-0--

G:--2--------------2------------2

D:--0--------------2-------------

A:-----------------0-------------

E:-----------------------------

Verse

RIFF

Where ...

C G RIFF

The CIA says you....

Can anyone make ..

C G RIFF, stay on A

Pinky lefty ...

Chorus

G A D Em7

A voice so pure, ...

C G A

I gotta ... learn ....

Verse

Chorus, strange speech bit over the main riff, then chorus again

RIFF:

Sing it loud, sing it proud, I will be heard, I will be found

Sing it loud, sing it proud, I will be heard, I will be found.

End on D.

Try using Cadd9 occassionally instead of C, either seems to work, and it gives

the song a bit of variety.
