Abney Park - The Change Cage

      
 
 <i></i>So...this is how I play it, but I'm sure it's likely played a full step lower than
 how I play it, but it sounds correct none the less. >:) Anyways...for now I'll
 post the basic chords with the lyrics and then add the specific tab parts later,
 including the solo...and I hope if it's not correct, that it helps someone tab it
 out more correctly...
 
 I play it in Standard E A D G B e tuning, but like I said, it may be played a full
 step lower if you know how to transpose...anyways
 
 Also, the clean parts I usually play with some Chorus effect or Reverb...maybe
 some good phaser mixed in there.
 
 Intro.
 
 A, A, C, D
 
 A, C, D(I like to let it ring out a bit, and tremolo/vibrato bend it a bit)
 
 Verse(First half clean)
 
 A                           
 I take a steam train to work
 C                        D      
 Just like the one my father took
 A                        
 And I pass over the walls
 C                  D      
 I see the people as I look
 
 
 (transtion from clean to distortion during these lyrics)
 
 I see
 
 
 Verse(second half heavy distortion(prolly use power chords))
 
 A                 
  there's the block
    C                 D    
 For folks with purple skin
 A                    C                   D  
 There's the block for folks who have no chin
 A                 C              D   
 There's the block for me & all my kin
      A           C                       D                    
 And over there is the change cage where we throw the rebels in
 
 CHORUS
 A                     
 I work the change cage
 Here on our side of the wall
 C                       B                                        
 And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
 (2x)
 
 
 Verse 2(first half clean)
 
 A                              
 Walls of iron bolted with steel
 C                         D                
 Two miles high that should hide how we feel
 A                                          
 And in the city we've walled off each block
 C                            D                      
 This should work to segregate any racial melting pot
 
 
 Verse 2(second hald heavy distortion)
 
 A                                 
 Long ago we learned of the trouble
 C                           D                    
 When a man steps out of his life's plastic bubble
 A                                                       
 So we walled off the city, caged thoughts that were free
 C                                   D          
 And now our lives are safe from any change that
 Could have come between you & me
 
 
 Repeat the CHORUS (2x)
 
 
 Solo (I'll include this, with the tab later) (played over the verse chords)
 
 
 Repeat the CHORUS (2x)
 
 
 Verse 3(first half clean)
 
 A                                
 They say an artist from block 616
 C                         D                
 Revived some old art just for his own kicks
 A                              
 They say his pictures were lude
 They say his women were nude
 C                D     
 So we throw them inside
 
 
 Verse 3(second half, heavy distortion)
 
 A                                        
 Well now that artist can run, he can hide
 C                        D                
 But sooner or later we'll throw him inside
 A                                  
 I don't think the people should see
                      C   
 Well that's not art to me
               D           
 So we'll throw them inside
 
 Repeat CHORUS(a few times actually, I'll listen again, and put the excact outro chorus here)
 
 And I will hold the key, until the day they say the cage will fall!
 
 
 
 Have fun playing, this has been my favourite song for the longest time...I hope this helps!!
