Song: A Leader On Losing Control Band: Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans Album: Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! Label: Stony Plain Records Written By: Corb Lund Tabbed/Chorded By: ultimatelefty Here's another good one by Corb, a western sounding war tune, and a very good one at that! Hopefully most of it is correct, the solo was a bit tricky but I think I got the jist of it. Anyways, as always, please rate, comment, and enjoy!

Well I ^Amtried my best to stop them, yes I tried to make them wait. And I ^Gappealed to their decency,

show mercy on this day.

I ^Fissued them strong orders, on pain of death and dissaray. But in the ^Eend they would not listen,

they raised their lances anyway. e|-0--0--0--0----0--0--0-| B|-1--0--1----1--1--0--1-| G|-2--1--2-------2--1--2-| D|-2--2--2-------2--2--2-| A|-0--2--0-------0--2--0-| E|-0--0--0-------0--0--0-| Verse 2:

^AmMen of no account, they were, their breeding crude and low. With ^Gnot a trace of wisdom, grace,

or virtue in their souls.

Yet ^Ftrained them long and hard I did, to bend them to the crown. To ^Eact as tools of justice,

follow edict handed down. e|-0--0--0--0----0--0--0-| B|-1--0--1----1--1--0--1-| G|-2--1--2-------2--1--2-| D|-2--2--2-------2--2--2-| A|-0--2--0-------0--2--0-| E|-0--0--0-------0--0--0-| Chorus: Ohh ohh... e|------------------------------0--0--0-0-----0--0--0-| B|------------------------------1--0--1---1---1--0--1-| G|------------------------------2--1--2-----2-2--1--2-| D|------------------------------2--2--2-------2--2--2-| A|---0-2-0-2-3-3/5-3-2-0---2-0--0--2--0-------0--2--0-| E|-3---------------------4------0--0--0-------0--0--0-|x2 Verse 3:

Well you see ^Amthese were not militia men, a-fighting for their homes. Nor ^Gfathers, sons, nor husbands, sire,

but foreigners on loan.

Yet ^Fmercinary killers career soldiers to a man. Lashing ^Eout with vengeance

one can not except or understand. e|-0--0--0------0--0--0-| B|-1--0--1--1---1--0--1-| G|-2--1--2----2-2--1--2-| D|-2--2--2------2--2--2-| A|-0--2--0------0--2--0-| E|-0--0--0------0--0--0-| Solo: e|------------------------|---------------|----------------------------------| B|------------------------|---------------|-0--0-0-1-3-1-0---0-1-3-3-3-3-1-0-| G|------------------------|---------------|-0--0-0-2-4-2-0-0-0-2-4-4-4-4-2-0-| D|--------------------0-2-|-------------2-|----------------------------------| A|---------0----0-2-3-----|---0-0-0-2-3---|----------------------------------| E|-0-0-0-0----0-----------|-0-------------|----------------------------------| e|-------1------------1-----------|---0-------------------------| B|-------1-1----------1-1---------|---0-0-----0-----------------| G|-0-0---2---2--------2---2---2---|---1---1-----1---------------| D|-----3-3-----3----3-3-----3---3-|---2-----2-------------------| A|-------3--------3---3-----------|---2-----------/7---7--------| E|-------1------------1-----------|-0-0--------------0---10-8-7-| e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------7-9-9--------9-9-9-9-9br-7-7br-5-5br-4-4br-4h5p4---5p4---| D|-7-9-10-------7-9-10-------------------------------------5-----0-| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------| B|------------------------3--------| G|---5-5br-4-2-----2-4-5----5-4-2--| D|-0-----------3-3-----------------| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------5/-10-| G|---2-5-4--4br-2-1---------1-1-1-2-4-4-4-4/5-4-2---------| D|-3----------------2-2-2-4-------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------| Verse 4:

Well I could ^Amnot instill the discipline, 'twas duty to inspire. And they re^Gsponded in the end

to instincts of the basest kind.

take my head for I'm to blame. e|-0--0--0--0----0--0--0-| B|-1--0--1----1--1--0--1-| G|-2--1--2-------2--1--2-| D|-2--2--2-------2--2--2-| A|-0--2--0-------0--2--0-| E|-0--0--0-------0--0--0-| Chorus: Ohh ohh... e|------------------------------0--0--0-0-----0--0--0-| B|------------------------------1--0--1---1---1--0--1-| G|------------------------------2--1--2-----2-2--1--2-| D|------------------------------2--2--2-------2--2--2-| A|---0-2-0-2-3-3/5-3-2-0---2-0--0--2--0-------0--2--0-| E|-3---------------------4------0--0--0-------0--0--0-| Ohh Ohh so spoke the leader on losing control e|------------------------------| B|------------------------------| G|---------------------------2--| D|---------------------------2--| A|---0-2-0-2-3-3/5-3-2-0---2-0--| E|-3---------------------4------| ************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************
