Thanks for Your suggestions about Stand up and be strong. See You later sounds wonderful. You have to add all tabs from the Candy to enterthesoulasylum and ultimate them too. Candy from a stranger is almost forgotten SA album but I think is the Pearl. I am still working on Crazy Mixed up World but now I have correct Misery intro………

That Misery intro sounds great. Yay, another Candy From A Stranger fan :) Here's a couple that are really fun to play, thanks to whoever tabbed them in the first place.


Blood Into Wine

Intro:
D C# Bm A
A D 2x

Verse:
A
Nothin' happened
E______________________Bm____D
Its just two people passin' through
A___________________E
Hearing voices in my head
______________________Bm____D
Hope they never lie to you

Pre Chorus:
C#m_________________________D
Why's somethin' always gotta be up with you?
C#m____________________D__________________A
Whatever I do is never enough for someone like you

Chorus:
Bm_____D__________________E
Passing through you all the time
Bm_____D________E
Turning blood into wine
________D________A
Turning blood into wine

Break: D C# Bm A
A D

Verse 2:
Who'll forgive me
Who's to say if its right or wrong
And you won't see me
In a light that shines on me

Pre-Chorus:
And how come somethin' always gotta be up with you?
Back on my feet but the nights get long
Do you think about me too?

Chorus:
Turning blood into wine
Just passin' through you all the time
Turning blood into wine

Bridge:
C#m_________________________D
Three more days and you'll be hanging on the line
C#m_________________________D
And if they ask you how I'm doin'
A
Just tell 'em that I'm fine
Bm_____D________E
Staying out all the time
Bm_____D________E
Just turning blood into wine
________D________A
Turning blood into wine
D________A
Blood into wine

Close: D A
D C# Bm A



No Time For Waiting

Intro: C F x2

______C____________F
It's enough to make you stay
______C________________F
It's enough to make you go away
__________________F___________G
But you don't understand how I'm feeling
______________F________G
You don't understand no no

______C____________F
It's enough to make you sick
______C________________F
It's enough to make you wanna quit
__________________F____________G
But you don't understand how I'm feeling
______________F________G
You don't understand my life

Pre-Chorus: Am G F

________________________Am______G
It's sad when you can't cry
F____________________Am________D
It all comes down to time keeps flying by
Am________ D
Time keeps telling me

F______________C__G________Am
There's no time for waiting
________F______________C______G____Am
For the river to wash into the sea
__________ F__________C____G
And when I reach some understanding
Am______________F
I'm gonna let it wash all over
F
Wash all over me

It's too much to make you say
That you always wanted to be this way
But you don't understand this feeling
So why do I even try
It's sad when you can't try
It all comes down to time keeps killing time
Time keeps healing

I've no time for waiting
For the river to wash into the sea
And when I reach some understanding
I'm gonna let it wash all over
Wash all over me

But I know one day you'll see
The person I wanted to be
And there's no time for waiting
There's no time for waiting

Close: F G

Can't find the time
Can't find the time
There's no time
There's no time
There's no time
Can't find the time

Thanks Tonem for the rest of Candy from a stranger songs. I must admit that I’ve got problems with Crazy Mixed up World. There are a lot of question marks as you see. Maybe You have got any idea what chords should be in this song.

Crazy Mixed Up World

D7 000212

D
Now that you're old enough
D7
And all grown out trying to act so tough
G(??)______________________D
Here comes a slap right in the face

D
Branding irons and cattle prods
D7
And cowboys everywhere Ropes flying through the air
G(??)______________________D___________D
Leave some kind of funny aftertaste

______G________________A
And when the room gets small
________G______???????__________A
And the streets are filled with fighting
______G____________A
You'll find a way to escape
_____G____________A_________A
You'll find a better place


??? ????
'Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there
??? ???
Someone's always got a gun And it's all about money
You live with loneliness or you live with somebody
???
Who's crazy
It's just a crazy mixed up world

Bridge: ?????

Jet fighters streak the air
And where they're going nobody seems to care
I guess we'll just wait and watch 'em fade

I don't think much about
The things I thought I just couldn't live without
I live without them everyday
And when you just can't handle one more panhandler
It leaves you wishing for change
Fast car to take you away

It's a crazy mixed up world out there
Someone's always got a gun
And it's all about money
You live with loneliness or you live with somebody
Who's crazy
It's just a crazy mixed up world


Solo of Dan: At the same time Dave is playing bridge - Chords ????


So take your shattered faith
And make it just like new
With crazy glue and tape
You're gonna need it again someday
You're gonna need it again
You're gonna need it today

'Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there
Someone's always got a gun
And it's all about money
You live with loneliness or you live with somebody
Who's crazy
It's just a crazy mixed up world

You're definitely on the right track there oxygen with Crazy Mixed Up World, I agree it's a right pain to figure out. I've had a go at adding to your tab, but I'm not at all sure about the sus chords.

Dsus2 002030
A7sus4 002033

Riff (no idea, something like Dsus4 D Dsus2 D)

Thanks for quick response Tonem. I have played this song with Dsus2 and without this chord but I don’t know what to choose. I agree about A7sus4 chord- sounds ok. Now I am working on “Lately”. Soon I will add my version of “New World” one of my favourite song of SA. My version is slightly different from that one which is on ultimate. I added bridge tabs and ending tabs. Now I have my version of SA classic song “Without the trace”. As usual I wait for any comments and suggestions.

Yeah, I'm not certain of the Dsus2 chord in Crazy mixed Up World - that's just what it looks like Dave's playing on the video. There's definitely a chord change from D at that point...

Nice tabbing on Without A Trace, a great acoustic song. That little 'a' means A minor right? Look forward to Lately, been after the chords for that :)

To make a change from Candy, here's some simple chords for Keep It Up, corrections/additions welcome...


Keep It Up

Intro: G

G
I'm down here waitin' on a shattered heart
I'm gonna put it back together if it tears me apart
_________C
If I can keep it up
_________G
If I can keep it up
G
I've been complaining like a broken record
Gonna get what I want if it takes forever
_________C
If I can keep it up
_________G
If I can keep it up

___________D_____________________G
Though the rain weighs down your wings
__________D___________________G
Still the caged bird's got to sing
_________F___________C_________G
Singing Na na na na na na na na na

I know it seems funny tryin' to understand
It's just that things don't always go the way you planned
Still you keep it up
Still you keep it up
Nothin' in the world's gonna keep me down
I'm just a-holdin' out just a-hangin' round
Tryin' to keep it up
Just to keep it up

Though the rain weighs down your wings
Still the caged bird's got to sing
Singing Na na na na na na na na na
Singing Na na na na na na na na na

________C__G
Keep it u---p
________C__G
Keep it u---p
________F C G
Keep it u---p
________C__G
Keep it u---p

Solo:
D G C
D Bm C
D G C x2
B E A

G

747's gonna take us away
Take us up to heaven gonna be okay
If we can keep it up
If we can keep it up

Though the rain weighs down your wings
Still the caged bird's got to sing
Singing na na na na na na… na na na

Keep it up (×8)

Keep it up sounds 100% perfect ! You are right "a" is Am chord. Sometimes I use small letters for minor chords like Dm=d and so on.... In the next week I will try to add Lately and now "New World"…. And one question about “No Man’s land chords” – You wrote: Intro/Verse: G (alternate 320003 320033). It means that we play through every verse one chord “G” and change 320003 with 320033? Am I right ?

“New world”


G__ 320033
Dadd9__ 032033
C__ x32010
Bm__ x24432
D7__ xx0212
Am7__ x02010
D__ xx0232
A__ x02220
Am__002210



Intro:
G__Dadd9__G___ Dadd9___G___Dadd9

G___________________Dadd9___G
Lives in a little lonely town
Dadd9______G______Dadd9___________G_____________Dadd9
No one's around, except for the drinking
G____________Dadd9_____G
Nobody ever gets____around
Dadd9__________G_________Dadd9_____G
But those who leave the township sinking

BRIDGE:
________Bm__D7__________Am7__Am_Am7__Am___________D
May you roooot______in heaven
_______Bm_____D7______Am7__Am_Am7__Am___________D
Got to beeee home by seven

CHORUS:
__________G_____D____Em____Em
And the field burns away
_____C_____G________Am_____Am
The sky breathes it in
_____D__________G
So why sit and wait
_____C________G_____D____________G______Dadd9____G____Dadd9
For the new world /STOP/_____to begin?

I'm coming out across your borders
With new orders for you to take
I'd really like to take out your daughter
Down by the water, down by the lake

BRIDGE:

When the cold water's on her skin
I can feel how long it's been

CHORUS:
And the neighbors will all be there
And no one will know what to wear
So why sit and wait
_____C________G_____D____________G______Dadd9____G____Dadd9
For the new world /STOP/_____to begin?



A_____A_____D____D



G_____________Dadd9________G
I got a lot___I got____to do

Dadd9__________G___Dadd9___________G
Just to get through the end of the day




A___________________________
It hardly ever even happens
______________D______________C
But I go to sleep the same anyway


------------------------------------------------------------2----I_e
------------------------------------------------------------3----I
------------0------------0-----------0-------------0------2----I
--------0------------0-----------0-------------0----------0----I
----3------------2-----------1------------0--------------------I
-----------------------------------------------------------------I_E



CHORUS:

And you can't believe in yourself
You can't believe in anyone else
So why sit and wait
_____C________G_____D____________G______Dadd9____G____Dadd9
For the new world /STOP/_____to begin?

G____Dadd9____G_____Dadd9


………..and some natural harmonics for the end

---------------------------------------------------------------------------I_e

New World sounds brilliant, much easier to follow than the other version.

Guess I wasn't very clear on No Man's Land, my bad. I meant like this:

G 320003
G2 320033

G_____G2___G_______G2
In a town without a name
G___________G2________G_______G2
There is no shame, no fame to claim
G________G2_______G_______G2
One fine day the pilgrims came
G_________G2________G________G2
And made new rules for an old game

It's basically a simplification of the intro tab, which goes along these lines (tabbing's not my strong suit):

e----3----------------0---3------0--------------------------------
B--------3---3----0----------3-------3----0----0----1----0--------
G------------------------------------------------------------0----
D-----------------------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------



You asked for something off Faces & Names a while back, so I made a start on basic chords for Start Treating People Right. Probably sounds better on piano ;)

Intro: G F Am F

G______________F
Choose up your weapons
Am______________F
Pick out your poison
G___________________F
Hide your women and children
Am______________F
We're bringing the boys in

G_____________________F
And maybe we could talk about it for a while
Am_____________________F
Think about it like it was your only child
G___________________________________F
And even though it don't seem right to let it keep me up all night
_______C______________D__________________G
When people are gonna start treating people right
