Alright, so this is my first tab on this site, hope I don't screw it up.The band is The Sun Parade, a folk/rock group from Northampton MA, and this song, NeedYou By My Side, is easily their most well-known.You can listen to most of their music on their website, www.thesunparade.com orhttp://thesunparade.bandcamp.com/, or watch the music video for this song athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFmzz9eUHro to get a good idea of it.Also, I figured out these chords just by listening to the track and watching the bandplay, so it might not be 100%, but it's pretty darn close.If you feel like you can improve on it, don't hesitate to message or email.Anyway, without further ado:-----------------------------------------Need You By My Side - The Sun Parade ------Tabbed by: scipio323E-mail: tap2@comcast.netChords used:E E2 A C#m B A2 (ch)C#m/Bb(/ch) (I really don't know what that last chord is, butthat's what I'm calling it.)e|-0----4----5----4----2----0----4---| B|-0----5----5----5----4----2----5---| G|-1----4----6----6----4----2----4---| D|-2----6----7----6----4----2----4---| A|-2----7----7----4----2----0----6---| E|-0----4----5----4----2----0----4---|Tuning:eBGDAEThis intro riff is also played over most of every verse; it's simple, but easier to showthan describe the chords used.Intro/VerseEE|-0-0-0-0-000-| B|-0-2-0-0-000-| G|-1-1-2-1-111-| X4 D|-2-2-2-2-222-| A|-2-2-2-2-222-| E|-0-0-0-0-000-|Verse 1:EI shiver, I shake, yeah im cold when i wake,the dream i was having, im glad it was fake.E2My mother was right, i have to relax,Ethese thoughts i am having are holding me backEIt may sound depressing yeah i know its so sad,but its the happiest thought that i've ever had.Athen how come i wake and i feel i will break?C#m B E A2 Eim bro---ooo---ken,C#m B E (intro riff again)im bro---ooo---kenVerse 2:EI've come to the end of chapter two,it wasn't that long but now im with you.E2I shall go to the city and start my life,Ewrite the next chapter and hope you survive.Chorus 1:C#m E2I feel it collapsing inside me,C#m C#m/Bb E2My life while i struggle inside.C#m E2Could you please be my constant?C#m C#m/B E2cause i have fifty thoughts at a time.ADon't leave me now,E BI need you by my side,Ayeah don't leave me now,E (intro riff)I need you by my side.Verse 3:ENow that i've left i can finally see,don't expect what you want cause it won't come to be.E2everyday i wake up in the same single bed,unwillingly stuck here inside my head.C#m B E A2 Ecause im bro---ooo---ken,C#m B E A2 Eim bro---ooo---ken,C#m B Eim bro---ooo---kenChorus 2:C#m E2I feel it collapsing inside me,C#m C#m/Bb E2My life while i struggle inside.C#m E2I need a constant reminderC#m C#m/B E2that this happiness in me wont die.AYeah don't leave me now,E Bi need you by my side.Chorus 3:C#m E2Everything about her is lovely,C#m C#m/Bb E2and i can't get her off of my mind.C#m E2Could you please be my constant?C#m C#m/Bb E2cause i have fifty thoughts at a time.AYeah don't leave me now,E BI need you by my side,ADon't leave me now,C#m C#m/Bb E2I need you by my sideC E2Cause im bro---ooo---ken,C E2im bro---ooo---ken,C E2im bro---ooo---ken,C#m B Ewith out you.There you go, folks, that's the best I've got.I'm always happy to spread awareness of the band, so support the tab with your commentsand suggestions, and check out their site.Thanks!
