Here_is_a_simple_version_of_The_Great_Divide_by_Queensryche,_another_great_
song_from_their_album_TRIBE_(2003)._The_basic_riff_is_quite_simple_to_play,_
but_Im_not_quite_sure_about_the_key:_this_version_is_transcribed_from_their_
live_performance_on_THE_ART_OF_LIVE_(2004).
Edit_(18/1/09):_some_of_the_chords_in_the_original_were_a_key_off;_Ive_corrected_them_now.
Two_guitars_are_required,_at_least_on_the_choruses_and_intro,_to_get_the_
whole_effect._Guitar_1_is_a_distorted_electric,_and_guitar_2_is_a_clean
electric_during_the_verses_and_a_distorted_electric_during_the_chorus.
The_G_and_F_chords_in_the_song_are_actually_played_as_E_chord_shapes_on_the_
second_and_fourth_frets_respectively,_with_the_other_strings_left_open,_thus:
___EADGBe
F:_033200
G:_055400
Other_chords_used:
________________EADGBe
Am_(5th_fret)_:_577655
C_____________:_335553
C#maj7________:_446564
If_youre_playing_this_acoustic,_you_can_also_use_open_chords:
Am_(1st_fret)_:_002210
C_____________:_332010
Guitar_1_plays_this_throughout_the_intro_and_choruses:
E|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|--5b-(let_ring)--6b-3b--(let_ring)--|
D|------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|
Guitar_2_plays_the_following_chords_during_the_intro_and_the_choruses:
Am(Vth_fret)____C________F5_____G5__(twice)_and_then_end_on_F5
With_that_out_of_the_way,_lets_get_to_the_song_itself:
The_Great_Divide
Lyrics:_Geoff_Tate
Music:_Michael_Wilton_(who_once_again_constructs_a_truly_memorable_song_out
of_simple_elements!)
Intro:
Guitar_1_plays_alone_for_2_bars.
Then_Guitar_2_(along_with_bass_and_drums)_enters_for_another_2_bars,
finally_ending_on_an_F5_chord_(let_it_ring!)
Verse_1:
(Strum_C#maj7_once_each_time_and_let_ring,_until_the_"south",_when_you_should
switch_to_a_distorted_tone_and_play_F5_continuously.)
C#maj7
Id_reconciled_my_anger,_got_outside_of_danger,
C#maj7
I_was_waiting_for_some_signal,_a_sign_from_angels.
C#maj7
When_the_tide_turns_against_you
C#maj7
its_a_strange_sensation,_a_revelation_of_imagination.
C#maj7
I_could_change_my_course_and_face_the_flow,_
C#maj7___________________________________________________F5_
reap_the_seeds_that_I_had_sewn_or_follow_that_old_river_south
_____________________F5_____G5_
Heres_what_I_found_out...
Chorus:
Guitar_1_plays_exactly_the_same_riff_as_the_intro.
Guitar_2_plays_distorted_chords_as_follows:
Am____C________F5______________G5__Am______C_______F5__________G5____
I_was_standing_on_the_Great_Divide_looking_out_across_America.
Am________C______________F5____________G5__
Trying_to_find_my_truth,_define_it_for_myself.
Am____________________C_____________F5
I_died_the_day_when_I_saw_this_place.
F5_____________________G5_F5_G5
I_saw_what_I_could_lose.
Verse_2_is_exactly_the_same_as_verse_1:
C#maj7
A_very_simple_mechanism_separates_the_fool_from_wisdom.
C#maj7
The_lines_between_us_are_not_real.
C#maj7
Conditioning_is_what_makes_us_feel_ignorant.
____F5_
And_apathy_will_feed_our_hate.
So_we_can_never_give_in.
Chorus_and_end:
Am______C____________F5______________G5____Am_______C_____________F5______G5
There_I_was_standing_at_the_Great_Divide,_looking_for_the_truth_in_America.
Am_______________C____________F5______________G5____
For_all_that_time_I_searched,_when_I_closed_my_eyes,
Am________________________C____________
I_found_the_thing_I_was_looking_for.
F5_____________________G5____F5___G5___F5
I_had_it_all_the_time.
and_then_repeat:
So_are_we_standing_at_the_Great_Divide?
Is_there_hope_for_America?
Take_the_flag_we_wave,_the_freedoms_that_we_sing.
Without_respect_for_one_another,
it_doesnt_mean_a_thing....
End_by_repeating_the_chorus_riff_-_the_song_ends,_quite_
appropriately,_on_an_unresolved_note_both_musically_and_lyrically.
Thats_about_it!_There_are_some_fills_in_between_that_I_couldnt_quite
figure_out:_if_anyone_does,_please_let_me_know!
