The saxophone part transcribed to guitar...

(Guitar 2 The entire time)



† The notes beneath the tab are the notes for saxophone players, or if

you're sick of reading

tabs and want to learn some music theory!



† Play along w/cd or you'll have no clue what's going on!



† Also,if something doesn't sound right, try playing on a different

string. I accidentally tabbed parts of it on the wrong string. I think I

corrected all of them, but I can't be certain. Please notify me of this

if you find it.

Here are the lyrics in full, taken from CD booklet:



© Capitol records, 1973



Us, and them 

And after all we're only ordinary men

Me, and you

God only knows it's not what we would choose to do



"Forward!" he cried, from the rear

And the front rank died

And the general sat, and the lines on the map

Moved from side to side



Black, and blue

And who knows which is which and who is who

Up and Down 

And in the end it's only round and round and round



"Haven't you heard it's a battle of words" 

The poster bearer cried

"Listen, son," said the man with the gun, 

"There's room for you inside"



Down and out 

It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about 

With, without 

And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about



Out of the way, it's a busy day 

I've got things on my mind 

For want of the price of tea and a slice 

The old man died
