An obscure, but very nice melodic song from 1987. There are 3 chord versions here: the 4:04 single, the 6:38 blues mix, and the 8:00 extended version. Both the single and the blues mix were available on the UK CD single along with 2 other tunes, and on the Silencers first album "A Letter from St. Paul". I haven't found where the extended version came from, but it may be a US only mix. All 3 are great tunes on their own. Times shown are elapsed time from the start; by Marty Lurvey. http://www.thesilencers.info/ Single Version (4:04 long) Riff e|--------------------| B|--3--2--------------| G|--------2--0-2--4---| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|--------------------| D C# A G A B Intro < drums & lead guitar > 0:08 Verse 1 Riff
