Date: Sat, 11 Oct 1997 20:38:49 +0800 From: Lord Shadowbolt Subj: The Wall Of Death THE WALL OF DEATH Richard Thompson , covered by REM for the Richard Thompson Tribute Album. Transcribed by Steve King On the E-bow the Letter single (track 4) This track struck me as a flashback of the older REM style of music. Best played on an acoustic guitar , capo on 2nd fret , all chords listed below are with the capo. This is the version my band and I play , to match the CD perfectly , leave out the embellishments. We use them due to only a single guitar in the band. Intro G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G VERSE 1
