  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

  

         G                   C              G   C/G  G

  Let me ride on the wall of death one more time

  G G/F#  Em                                D	(Emb#1)

  Let me ride on the wall of death one more time

          C							(Emb#2)

  You can waste your time on the other rides

      D				  (Emb#1)

  but this is the nearest to being alive

  G              C              D       G   C/G  A

  Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

  

  (REPEAT CHORDS FROM ABOVE VERSE)

  You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house

  You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse

  The tunnel of love might amuse you

  And Noah's Ark might confuse you but

  Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

  

         Am       Em

  On the Wall of Death

          Am       Em      D

  All the World is far from me

         Am      Em

  On the Wall of Death

           Am         Em   C     D 

  It's the nearest to being free

  

  (REPEAT CHORDS FROM VERSE 1)

  Well you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel

  And maybe you're strong, but what's the good of ringing a bell

  The switchback will make you crazy

  Beware of the bearded lady

  Oh let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

  

  PIANO SOLO - GUITAR PLAYS BRIDGE CHORDS

  

  Final Verse

  

  Well you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel

  And maybe you're strong, but what's the good of ringing a bell

  The switchback will make you crazy

  Beware of the bearded lady
