THE SUN IN THE STREAM by Enya.
The tab is for the melody (a bagpipe I think).
I like playing this with distortion, employing vibrato with the bar
to simulate the inflections produced in the original recording.
~~~~~~ = vibrato
^ = hammer-on or pull-off
/ or \ = slide

AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING by Lennon/McCartney.
I learned this by taping the chords ***very*** slow and playing until I knew it at that speed.
Once I had it learned, it sped up pretty easily for me.
What a masterpiece this is. Aren't those chords in the middle section amazing?
When it gets back to the 'E' chord (e.g., "You may be awoken"),
it sure doesn't feel like the home key, does it?
But it all works beautifully. Cosmic bass playing by Mr. McCartney, too. Enjoy.

Magic E Chord for use in AYBCS.
Note that this is a real open, twangy sounding E5 chord... sounds best on a Rickenbacker 325!
Also sounds great in "Day Tripper".

HEY! No laughing!! You try to write this stuff out!! haha
TOBACCO ROAD
I was born in a dump.
Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die or grow
in the middle of Tobacco Road.
Growin' up rusty shack,
all I had was hangin' on my back.
Only you know how I loathe
this place called Tobacco Road.
Gsus2 D5
But it's home, the only life I ever known.
G
Only you know how I love .....
Tobacco Road.
Ah! (Intro played here again)
Gonna leave, get a job
with the help and the grace from above.
Save some money, get rich I know,
bring it back to Tobacco Road.
But it's home, the only life I ever known.
Only you know how I love ....
Tobacco Road.
(Lead)
Bring that dynamite and a crane,
blow it up, start all over again.
Build a town, be proud to show.
In the name Tobacco Road.
UP THE POOL by Ian Anderson.
[Capo 7]
Dm7 D C G D
D A4 A
I'm going up the 'Pool, from down the smoke below
D A4 A
to taste me mum's jam Sarnis and see our Aunty Flo,
Bm A4 A G Bm A4 A G
The candy floss salesman watches ladies in the sand
C G Bb C
down for freaky weekends in the hope that they'll be meeting
D C G Dm7 D
Mr. Universe.
D A4 A
The iron tower smiles down upon the silver sea
D A4 A
and along the golden mile they'll be swigging mugs of tea.
Bm A4 A G Bm A4 A G
The politicians there who've come to take the air
C G Bb C
while posing for the daily press will look around and blame the mess
D C G Dm7 D
on Edward Pier.
D C G D
There'll be buckets, spades and bingo, cockles, muscels, rainy days
Bb C D G6
seaweed and sand-castles, icy waves.
D C G D
Deck-chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down,
Bb C D
a sun-tanned stranded starfish in a daze.
We're going up the 'Pool from down the Smoke below
to taste me mum's jam Sarnis and see our Aunty Flo,
The candy floss salesman watches ladies in the sand
down for freaky weekends in the hope that they'll be meeting
Mr. Universe.

Lyrics :
And who by fire, who by water,
who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
who in your merry merry month of may,
who by very slow decay,
and who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
and who by avalanche, who by powder,
who for his greed, who for his hunger,
and who shall I say is calling?
And who by brave assent, who by accident,
who in solitude, who in this mirror,
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
who in mortal chains, who in power,
and who shall I say is calling?
