New Model Army - Higher Wall 
 ----------------------------

 Tabbed by Bjoern Ahrens (nma-tabs@gmx.de)
 Acoustic live version, taken from the recent Justin Sullivan & Friends tour 2003.
 They may differ slightly from the recorded version.


 Capo 5th fret. All notes and chords relative to capo.

 **UPDATE**: corrected the intro riff.

unusual chords:
[Cmaj7/G]  332000
[Dsus2/F#] 200230
[B?]       x20210
[Eb]       x68886

-----------------------------------

Additional notes:
----------------
Intro:
On the original version, there are noticeably lower bass notes, which means on
the album the intro is played without capo. Live, however, I've seen him play it
with capo, so I'll give you an idea of the intro the way I play it, so you can play
it on capo.

Verse:
There are occasional hammer-ons, on the [Em] 0h2 on A+D String; on [C/G] 0h2 on the 
D-String, listen to the original to figure out where it goes..)

Bridge:
It's all barré chords (except for the A, obviously)

then [Em] (with an occasional hammer-on from fret 0 to 2 on the D and A String)



     [Em]
We're out here on the borders with our favourite few possessions
[F]                                 [C/G]
Trading stories whispered round the fire
   [Em]
As shadows in the searchlights, mugshots in the files
[F]                             [C/G]
Waiting in the camps behind the wire
[Cmaj7/G]                     [Dsus2/F#]
Kick the door until it opens, what you have you cannot hold
[Cmaj7/G]                     [Dsus2/F#]
We are young, forever hungry, you are fat and growing old 


Chorus:
-------
[Am]      [B?]    [C]    [G]     [Am]   [B?]    [C]    [G]
And every day you try to build a higher wall, a higher wall   [2x]

[G], [Eb]


   [Em]
We pick the leaves of coca, we stack the crates of cola
   [F]                            [C/G]
We wait upon the tables where you dine
    [Em]
And learn from you not to accept the little that we're given
   [F]                               [C/G]
To take the piece of silver where we can
    [Cmaj7/G]                     [Dsus2/F#]
Now clutching at these papers in another office line
      [Cmaj7/G]                       [Dsus2/F#]
We're staring from the darkness up at windows filled with light 


Chorus:
-------
[Am]      [B?]    [C]    [G]     [Am]   [B?]    [C]    [G]
And every day you try to build a higher wall, a higher wall     [4x]

[G], [F#]


Bridge:
-------
[B]           [A]             [G#]
In my town we used to pray to idols sent from far away
[B]                 [A]            [Eb]
From out beyond the dusty days, we heard your voices call
[B]                  [A]
And in your town the streets are cleaned
[G#]
The order stands, the sirens scream
[B]                                      [Eb]
You talk of peace, vacation dreams - and reinforce the wall

    [Cmaj7/G]                     [Dsus2/F#]
Now in the queues at immigration, in the border zone
   [Cmaj7/G]                  [Dsus2/F#]
We are your bastard children, all coming home 

Chorus:
--------

And every day you try to build a higher wall, a higher wall
Every day you try to build a higher wall, a higher wall

But your money cannot stop us
And you violence cannot stop us
No you will never stop us with your higher wall, your higher wall
     [Am]          [G]
your higher wall
     [Am]          [G]
your higher wall

[Am], [G], [F], end on [H]
