Thanks Tonem for the tip about No man’s land. “Start treating People right” sounds OK but You are right that piano suits better for this song. How about “Teach me to breath” or “Feel the need” ?? They are much more guitar songs. I am glad that you’re liking my version of “New World”. I have spent a lot of time to complete my version of this great song. I watched videos from the SA concerts and covers from Youtube and listened to this song many many many times. I will add this version to ultimate soon…. And many thanks to Triumph for the support. I am still working on Lately.

This is my version of Lately. It is full of question marks. Wait for Your help. Every suggestions / comments are welcomed.


Chords:
G__320033
Dadd9__032033
Asus4__002230
C__032010
D__000232

Intro: ?????


G
__________G
In the foglights
_________________________________Dadd9
There was tear gas floating through the twilight
___________________________Asus4 (???????)
And he wondered what life would be like
______________________C___________________________________D
With a giant screen TV, a fridge full of beer and a conscience that's clean

_________G
You see lately
______________________________Dadd9
She'd been thinking 'bout her little tiny baby
____________________________Asus4
And the boy who had gone to defend me
___________________________C_________________________D
She's a good friend of mine but I can't take the place of her man anytime


G__Dadd9____Asus4 (??????? I don’t know if it is ok)
And it won't be long
G__Dadd9_______D (??????? I don’t know if it is ok)
'Til he's coming home


G__Dadd9___Asus4___D (?????)
You gotta bring your soldier home
G__Dadd9___Asus4___D
All those stones have all been thrown
G__Dadd9___Asus4___D
You gotta give a kid a chance to get a look at his kid
G__Dadd9___Asus4___D_______________D
And hope he can live with whatever he did


Now, meanwhile, he was reading magazines on the frontline
He was trying not to think about her life
And what he might have done
'Cause it seemed like neither one of them were having any fun
You see, lately
She'd been acting kind of crazy lately
Oh, man, I thought she was gonna hate me
'Cause I couldn't watch her little one, I had so much to do, I was so high-strung
And it won't be long
'Til he's coming home
You gotta bring your soldier home
All those stones have all been thrown
You gotta give a kid a chance to get a look at his kid
And hope he can live with whatever he did


E____________________C
Lately all the hate escapes me
E________________________C
Lately all the hate just escapes me
D
Lately


So he phoned her
He said, "Darling I've been feeling so alone here
Am I making myself perfectly clear?
That I'm on my way back, just a couple more missions and I'll start getting packed"

You gotta bring your soldier home
All those stones have all been thrown
You gotta give a kid a chance to get a look at his kid
And hope he can live with whatever he did

Lately

thanks you all for keeping this thread going - i totally stink (am an uber-beginner) but this thread just motivated me to play my guitar for a little bit for the first time in awhile.
i even attempted without a trace because i 'only' had to 'learn' 2 'new' chords to attempt it. :) thanks!

zany & triumph, glad you're enjoying the thread. Will keep going till we run out of songs ;)

oxygen, I compared your Lately with Dave's playing on a video from Littletooclean's site, and the chords look and sound 100% spot on to me. So congrats :)

Figured I'd finish off the Palais Royale trio, so here's Straight Up, also a GDU demo...


Straight Up

Chords:

E 022100
C#m xx2120
C#m* x46654

not sure about these:
Eb x68886
E5 x79900


Intro:
E C#m Eb E5

____________E_________C#m_____Eb________E5
We know the galaxy's full of black holes
______________E_________C#m______Eb_______E5
We don't know which ones have the pay tolls
______D________________A_____________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Ooh take a look out, take a look inside

__________E________C#m_______Eb____E5
This is whole new kind of illusion
___________E________C#m________Eb____Eb
Based on a brand new kind of confusion
_________D______________A________________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Built on wise decisions, based on foolish pride
________D______________A_______________E___C#m__Eb__E5
And you wonder why you wasted all this time
D______________A______________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Ooh trying to find gold in a salt mine

____D____________________A
And now you've reach the limit
________C#m*_________B
But the limit is the sky
____A
Oh straight up one more
D____________________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Straight up one more time


This is a character assassination
This is a character that needs a vacation
Too soon, too long, too much for one mind

We got to step back and take inventory
You're only seeing one side of the story
And a good story is changing all the time
There is always one more sucker doing fine
One more trucker driving that white line
Delivering nothing to no one everywhere

__D________A
Delivering nothing
___C#m*________B
To no one everywhere

____A
Oh straight up one more
D____________________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Straight up one more time
____D
Oh straight up one more
A____________________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Straight up one more time


Solo:
D A E

E
It's much easy to give up
It's much hard to get up
____D__________A_______________E___C#m__Eb__E5
To another day just like yesterday
____D__________________A________________E___C#m__Eb__E5
And this time there is no escape this time
____D________A_______________E___C#m__Eb__E5
And any explanation would be fine

____D____________________A
And now you've reach the limit
________C#m*_________B
But the limit is the sky

____A
Oh straight up one more
D____________________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Straight up one more time
____D
Oh straight up one more
A____________________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Straight up one more time

____A
Oh straight up one more
D____________________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Straight up one more time
____D
Oh straight up one more
A____________________E___C#m__Eb__E5
Straight up one more time

E C#m Eb E5

You did really great work with “Straight up” chords Tonem. Respect. The song sounds great although I must admit that it is quite complicated because of the barre chords. I play Db (446664) instead of Eb and Ab (466544) instead of E5. They are less painful. What do You think about this. The concert at the Palais Royale is one of my favourite SA live performances. And Tonem what do You think about ending of Lately. What chords should I put instead of question marks ??? And now I have something different the link to the cover which SA often plays at the concerts – The track of my tears.

Enjoy the song. The chords and the tabs are fine.
And I would like to thank everybody who support this thread

yep, listening to the Straight Up demo compared to the more bass-y Palais recording, think I got those chords wrong. This sounds closer to the main riff, see what you think:

E C#m B7 E

As for Lately, agree with your excellent version. Just tried to add on the intro and outro...

Thanks Tonem for full version of Lately. Intro and outro sound fine. I have watched today Straight up on dvd and I think that Dave used some variations of E-chords. So You are definitely right about E chord in the verse (E_C#m_B7_E). I am playing your version with C#m and B7 chords and compare it with dvd-concert. If I find something new I will write. Anyway the song is great. Respect. And many thanks for Creatures of habit tabs. I am working on All the king’s friends and Whatcha Need.

And now unfinished “Marionette” chords from Hang time-album. As usual I wait for every comments and suggestions. I hope that one day every song of SA will be tabbed on enterthesoulasylum.com



“Marionette”
Chords:
G 320033
G*355433


C
Marionette I haven't met you yet
C___________________________________G*
I hear you're good I hear you're made out of wood
C
Not quite as blind as you might think she'd be
C_______________________________G*
Her roots are deep, they run as deep as a tree

Chorus:
_________F________C______G____________________C (or CFGC ?????)
And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
F____C_____G_________C
Now the strings attach to everything
F____C_____G_________C
It's twisted and tangled and troubled with anger
F______C_________G
But somehow you still swing

Tried all my tricks I tried to steal a kiss
Splinters and slivers stuck all over my lips
She thinks she must be doing something wrong
Hair-pullin' strings and then they string you along

And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
Now the strings attach to everything
It's twisted and tangled but I've got an angle
On just what makes you swing
? ?
Hanging by a string

Bridge: ????

C____________F
She is wearing thin

She's up to workin' sometimes fours a day
No, the boss he makes her do things his way
So why do you think she's so scared of ya
What do you think makes her that way
When push comes to shove she'll push and shove

Bridge: ????

It doesn't always have to be this way
She's savin' up for a vacation somewhere

Why do you think she's so scared of you
What do you think makes her that way
When push comes to shove she'll push and shove ya
It's very hard work when you don't get paid

And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings




Mary Christmas for every SA fan and guitarist.

I think I injured my funny bone
I'm gonna cry when I get home
Maybe one day, save it for Sunday

And it's one big maybe
Maybe you're the one whose crazy
