And we'll try as we cry and our brothers pass us by, to be strong through the ages of our tears along the way Now we grow as we show that the morals we must know will be shapen and mistaken by the falls along the way. But forget, don't regret, to find love and happiness unless you're willing to be strong when they are gone along the way Like Tommy, you are free, and you will not follow me, until we see each other once more on the path along the way ------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Jesus Transcription by Pär Svensson, t89par@student.tdb.uu.se ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments, corrections, etc. welcome.

I tried to figure out the rhythm, but alas, I only Minored in Music, and one thing I could never do well was take a rhythm from my head and translate it into the appropriate rhythm notes. My only worked out guess is that it's in 4/4 time, with the 1st bar going as follows: q-e-e-e-e-e3-e3-e3 (q=quarter note, e=eigth, e3=a triplet eighth). Anyway, listen to the tune and figure it out. If you think I have a few more chords in my transcription than there appears to be at first listen (such as in the third bar: 3 A's and then two C's, with the last four being played quickly together, possibly as paired sixteenth notes), then that is just my interpretation; the song does seem to have a "galloping" guitar rhythm to it. Whatever; enjoy, sinners! 7x ||-----------------------------||-----------------------|----------------------- ||-----------------------------||-----------------------|-----------------------
