[Em]
As the [Am]sun comes up, as the moon goes down
these h[F]eavy notions creep around
it m[Am]akes me think
long a[F]go I was b[Am]rought into
this life a little lamb
a l[F]ittle lamb
courageous, s[Am]tumbling
fearless was my m[F]iddle name
but somewhere there I lo[D]st my name
everyone wa[C]lks the same
expecting [D]me to step
the narrow p[C]ath they've laid
they claim to
w[Em]alk unafr[G]aid
I'll be c[Em]lumsy inst[G]ead
hold my l[Em]ove me or le[G]ave me h[D]igh
(same chords again)
Say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play"
Say "contradiction only makes it harder"
how can I be
what I want to be?
when all I want to do is strip away
these stilled constraints
and crush this charade
shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me high
If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
look me in the eye
and if you see familiarity
then celebrate the contradiction
help me when I fall to
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me high
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me high
Lyrics:
as the sun comes up, as the moon
goes down
these heavy notions creep around
it makes me think
long ago I was brought into
this life a little lamb
a little lamb
courageous, stumbling
fearless was my middle name.
but somewhere there I
lost my way
everyone walks the same
expecting me to step
the narrow path they've laid
they claim to
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high.

to play.""
say ""contradiction only makes it harder.""

I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me

I just want to hold my head up high
I din't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
look me in the eye
and if you see familiarity
then celebrate the contradiction
help me when I fall to
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high.
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high.

WALK UNAFRAID

(N.B. ~~~ = hold note using e-bow.)
Intro:
First just tap and scratch around on the fifteenth(ish) fret, then
a|-------------------------------------------
E|--5~6~~/11~10~~~~/5~6~~~/11~10~~/15~~~~
(this is all played on the bottom string with an e-bow, but lots of
distortion should do the trick just as well.)
Verses:
The chords aren't actually played. In the verses, instead Peter
just uses an e-bow and plays the root notes, i.e.
(A) (F) (A) (F) for the Am F
E|--5~~~~/1~~~~/5~~~~/1~~~~-- progression
[and] (D) (C) (D) (C) for the D C
E|--10~~~~/8~~~~/10~~~~/8~~~~-- progression
Peter doesn't this all the time during the verses, sometimes he'll just kinda'
slide up and down a string, making eerie noises, while the bass just thumps out:
[(A)] [(F)] [(A)]
E|--5---5---5-5--5---/1---1---1-1---1---/5- and so on.
Chorus:
The Em - G - D chords are played as normal in the chorus.
