Hi there,

I´m not used to tabs, I do much prefer notes and chords....
That causes problems for me to learn my absolute fave Richie song The Answer.
I searched and searched but could not found another than a tab version for it in the net.
I can only play half of the song with the help of this tab version.

Please, could someone tell me the CHORDS of the song, mainly for the part " ....Then with scythe and cloak
Death comes waltzing to your side
As the visions pass you ask
If there was meaning to your life
As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle...."?

Please, could someone make me very happy?

, Billa

well for the 1st bridge it sounds pretty much like it goes

A B A A7


and the 1st half of the 2nd bridge is the same but it is slightly different and i'm sureit modulates unless it just sounds like it due to the melody changing. ill give the full thing a shot later on tonight and get the 2nd bridge for you. need any help with the rest of the song??

This should've been posted in the music - forum, but anyway...

Here it is. Copy it somewhere or zoom in, this stupid messageboard doesn't allow monospaced fonts in any other way...

A             A/G        F#7
The lightning flashed as angels
Bm         Bm/A                  D   E  
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
A           A/G       F#7
That answer scared me into tears
Bm          Bm/A                 D  E
And all the grownups laughed out loud

        A                    D/A
Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
         A                              A7
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens

D         E        A     /g#     /f#  /e
There's a world in every drop of rain
D         E      A        /g#  /f#   /e
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
      D                   E
Come along with me, come along with me
         D                    E            A
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie

A/G F#7 Bm Bm/A D E

A            A/G   F#7
They say for every living thing
Bm        Bm/A            D  E
There's a guide up in the sky
A              A/G       F#7
That helps you pass from world to world
Bm     Bm/A         E
So you never really die

          A
Then with scythe and cloak
      D/A
Death comes waltzing to your side
       A
As the visions pass you ask
             D/A
If there was meaning to your life
       B                                  E/B
As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle
      B                                 E/B
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle


E   F#         B       /a#     /g#  
Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain
/f#         E            F#         B     /a#    /g#  
All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain
/f#  E                   F#7
Come along with me, come along with me
         E                    F#           B
Seek the truth, and you shall find another life


B/A G#7 C#m C#m/B E F#sus4 F#

B          B/A     G#7
And now my life is like a storm
C#m     E/B            Em  F#    
Growing stronger every day
B        B/A G#7      
Like the unrelenting wind
C#m           E/B            Em   F#
That comes to blow our lives away

     B                    E/B
So I live each day like I know it's my last
         B        
If there is no future there must be no past

E     F#               B     /a#     /g#
Now I know the answers never meant a thing
    /f#       E              F#  
And with each instant that I breathe
           B        /a#      /g#  
I feel the joy that life can bring
/f#   E                   F#7 
Come along with me, come along with me
         E                    F#           B
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie

B/A G#7
      E                   F# 
Come along with me, come along with me
         E                   F#           B
Seek the truth, and you will find another life
