# From jjs6@dana.ucc.nau.edu Sun May 4 09:49:17 1997 Date: Fri, 04 Apr 1997 13:36:30 -0700 (MST) From: Justin John Simison <jjs6@dana.ucc.nau.edu> To: guitar@olga.net Cc: acoustic@olga.net This is one of Jackson Browne's all time best songs. The chords I've transcribed have a variation on the C and the D, because I think that kind of helps a single guitar arrangement keep the drone of the full band. To play it the way Jackson does, play a regular C and a regular D. ______________________________________________________________________________ "The Barricades of Heaven" ("Looking East", Elektra) by : Jackson Browne Transciption by Justin J. Simison (Comments welcome, JJS6@dana.ucc.nau.edu) TUNING - Standard CHORDS - Em : 022000 C : X32013 G : 3X0003 D : X54035 F : 133211 C/E : 0X2010 (The C to D switch is easier than it looks, just slide the C diagram up two frets.) INTROO : Em, C, G, D (TWICE)
Em Running Cdown along the Gtowns along the Dshore Em When I was Csixteen and on my Gown D Em No I couldn't Ctell you what the Ghell those breaks were Dfor Em I was just Ctrying to hear my Gsong D
Em, C, G, D (TWICE)
Em Jimmy found his Cown sweet sound when he Gwon that free Dguitar Em And we'd all Cget in the van and pGlay D Em Life became the CParadox, the GBell, the Rouge et Dnoir Em And the stretch of Croad running to GL.A. D
BRIDGE :Em Pages turninCg G Pages we were Dyears from learning Em Straight into the Cnight our hearts were Gflung D
(PLAY REGULAR "C" and "D" for chorus)
CHORUS : Better Cbring your own reGdemtion Dwhen you comCe D To the Cbarricades of heaGven wDhere I'm fCrom
Em, C, G, D (Twice)
Em AlCl the world was Gshining from those Dhills Em With the stars aCbove and the lights bGelow D Em Among those thCere to test their foGrtune and their Dwill Em I lost Ctrack of the score long Gago D
BRIDGE, CHORUS
Em ChildhoodF comes for C/Eme at night Em The voices Fof my frC/Eiends Em Your face bFathing C/Eme in light Em I hope that Fnever eC/Ends
Em, C, G, D (TWICE)
Em Pages tuCrning GPages torn and paDges burning Em Faded pages oCpen in the sGun D
