Run (song)

=Additional Information= Decribed by Jon:

“No other band could have come up with a song that sounds like that. For me it harks back to the Killjoy era of Shihad. It's got one of the simplest messages on the record, which is ‘Don't ever lapse into comfort ‘cause that becomes a cage’.” - NZgirl.co.nz =Lyrics= On the rising tide Roller coaster ride As the truth decends You chose not to ride again

So you run Whatcha holding on, holding on to Run Life is going on All around you Run Whatcha holding on, holding on to

You still love to dance Love to take a chance But something turned inside And the dreams: they got left behind

So you run Whatcha holding on, holding on to Run Life is going on All around you Run Whatcha holding on, holding on to Run Look what's going on, all around you

Don't want to have to make a change Wouldn't want to exaggerate the pain Go running and back to the old ways

So you run Whatcha holding on, holding on to Run Life is going on All around you Run Life is going on All around you Run

Guitar (Acoustic)
shihad acoustic tuning

hopefully this should be pretty self explanatory, but it aint the easyiest of songs to play. pm or msn me if you are having trouble.

when playing, attempt to focus on playing the 3 lower strings. this makes the bassy bits stand out more, and its sounds better if they do (because they are the only bits changing in the song). the higher notes are just repeating, so try to back off a wee bit on them.

the tab looks fucked up in the forum - copy it into notepad, and it looks the way it should. Code:
