Subject: TAB: Rakim by Dead Can Dance

TAB:Rakim by Dead Can Dance

From CD-Movie: Toward The Within(1994)

Trans/noted: Andretti Benavides

ISSUE# 4 from GTML.

A very difficul song to transcribe and play it correctly. This is 90 % O.k.

and i think i will make it.

First: Tunning :You may say WHAT??? four strings?. Yes Four strings, this is

for mandolin (i think it is played with that) but if you have a guitar just

put a capo on 5th fret and play on the thinner strings. Notated as fret

5(capo)=0.For non capo just add 5 to every note.

Second: Trills: Move quikcly, very quickly up and down the pick under notes

that says Trill.

Third: The chords are arranged for main deep music layer, an here comes the

scales: For DM part is a A minor.-a,b,c,d,e,f,g,a. For D part is a

G major.-g,a,b,c,d,e,f#,g. Noy you can figure out arrangements and voicing.

Thats all,for corrections, comments, contributions or anything else:

Lyrics:

1. Rakim

Favored son

Turn in the garden

Shades of one

Sins forgotten

Favored signs to find hope

In the rounds of life

Favored rhymes to find hope

In the sands of life

Favored son

Fence in your heart

Saviored son

Sins forgotten
