Records (1989) Transcriber: Glyn Hunt All my own work! This is the last song on the Alarm's Album "Change", different from the rest of album's tracks by it's "chapel song" feel. The recording itself has the Morriston Orpheus Male Voice Choir and members of the Welsh Symphony Orchestra singing/playing alongside the band. I haven't been able to create tabs yet for the orchestral part yet, but anyone else please feel free to contribute as this is my first time at writing chords/tabs. As it stands, the song can be played as a slow guitar ballad. It tells the story of life for people from the valley communities of South Wales following the closure of their mining industries. It should be sung thus as a sad song, lifting towards the end. Otherwise, it's one of my favourites, so enjoy!
