#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------## De La Rey Bok van Blerk This is an attempt at outlining a ‘finger-picking’ version of the song. I recommend holding down the full fingering for the chord at the beginning of each bar, that way you can focus on your right hand which will be busier than usual. Here are the chords used in the song for quick reference: Am C D Em G e:-------0-------0-------2-------0-------3------- B:-------1-------1-------3-------0-------0------- G:-------2-------0-------2-------0-------0------- D:-------2-------2-------0-------2-------0------- A:-------0-------3---------------2-------2------- E:-------------------------------0-------3------- The song is not as difficult as it looks...so don’t worry too much. Once you realise that the finger-picking repeats the same pattern over and over and over again, you should feel your confidence increase. Plus, since the chords are written as well, you could always switch back to strumming the song mid-way through. Have fun! Please let me know if there any changes/suggestions you have to make the tab better, Your Friendly Neighbourhood Kunuk – kunuk@rocketmail.com ====================================================================== G (VERS 1) e:--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------| B:------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----| G:----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---| D:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A:----------------|-2--------------|----------------|-2--------------| E:-3--------------|----------------|-3--------------|----------------| Op 'n G e:--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------| B:------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----| G:----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---| D:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A:----------------|-2--------------|----------------|----------------| E:-3--------------|----------------|-3--------------|-3--------------| berg in die nag | lê ons in die |wag | En die donker en Em C G (VERS 2) e:--------0-------|--------0-------|--------3-------|--------3-------| B:------0---0-----|------1---1-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----| G:----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---| D:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A:-2--------------|-3--------------|----------------|----------------| E:----------------|----------------|-3--------------|-3--------------| modder en bloed |koud, streepsak |reën kleef teen | En my lê ek en my G e:--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------| B:------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----| G:----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---| D:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A:----------------|-2--------------|----------------|----------------| E:-3--------------|----------------|-3--------------|-3--------------| huis en my plaas|tot kole | sodat hulle ons| Maar daai verbrand kan vang Em C G (KOOR) e:--------0-------|--------0-------|--------3-------|-3--------------| B:------0---0-----|------1---1-----|------0---0-----|-0--------------| G:----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|-0—-------------| D:----------------|----------------|----------------|-0--------------| A:-2--------------|-3--------------|----------------|-2--------------| E:----------------|----------------|-3--------------|-3--------------| vlamme en vuur |diep, diep binne| my. | De La brand nou G e:--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------| B:------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----|------0---0-----| G:----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---|----0-------0---| D:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A:----------------|-2--------------|----------------|----------------| E:-3--------------|----------------|-3--------------|-3--------------| Rey, De La Rey |sal jy die Boere|lei?

Generaal |Rey om jou De La ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I would like to send a special shout out to Gerhard Lourens. Your original tab gave me a solid base from which to start! Dankie :) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ====================================================================== Here is an English translation for all of those people out there who dig the music, but are new to the language: ====================================================================== On a mountain in the night, we lie in the dark and wait. In the mud and the blood I lie cold, the rain and streepsak clings to me. And my house and my farm were burnt to the ground so they could capture us. But those flames and fire now burn deep, deep within me. CHORUS: De La Rey, De La Rey can you come and lead the Boers? De La Rey, De La Rey General, General we will fall around you as one. General De La Rey. Hear the Khakis that laugh, a handful of us against a massive force. And with our backs to the mountain cliffs, they think it is over for us. But the heart of a Boer is deeper and wider, they will come to know. On a horse he comes, the lion of West Transvaal. CHORUS (2X) BRIDGE: Because my wife and my child are in a camp dying, And the Khakis are walking over a nation that will rise again. CHORUS (2X) ====================================================================== FYI - If you open this txt file into a word document and set all the margins to 2.54cm, the font type to Courier New, and the font size to 11, it should fit nicely onto 5 pages. --------------------------- This file passed through: Absolute Tabs http://www.tabs.co.za ---------------------------
