Yes, I am completely aware of how Oh, Sleeper tabbed it, and I am tabbing it a different way just to offer an alternative view... This way works for me, just as well as it would for you. If you know the song, but you don't actually know what it's about, you might wanna check it out. There is a youtube video up that someone posted with the link to the story but I'm not so sure if you'll find it... If not just google something like "April 22, 1979 israel raid" or something. I read a Washington Post article written by the ex-mother of Yael, and trust me, the story really helps you to properly sympathise with the song and the words behind. But if you're one of those hardcore guys who say "Screw it" and just wanna listen to the song, good luck to you all the more! I'm gonna tab this on a 6-stringed guitar and 4-stringed bass mainly because I do not have a 7-string... Sadly. But luckily most of you out there are on 6-strings anyway! This one's in DROP A (WITH A LITTLE MODIFICATION ON THE FIRST STRING) so if you've been playin' for 4 or 5 years and wanna take my advice, go out and buy some 11 gauged thick strings. The thicker they are, the better they'll hold. Feel free to get a little creative on the chorus... You know, rhythmically and stuff. *This part here reflects what the drummer might do in a live performance. He usually uses his china for this part but he could also use the open hi-hat.
Hush Yael, I hear them coming
We'll hide here until we're safe
Just hold tight to me,
Until they find what they need
Hush little Yael, I hear them leaving for the beach
Where on the stone and sand
Your sister finds her sleep
Wet your jaws for the world
We're going back to the darkest hours
Where our kind has confirmed
We are the masters of sin and slaughter
On the 22nd day of the 4th month, 1979
Warrants a judgment
Because he came and he saw
And this coward conquered a family asleep in their home
Rise
Rise
We must rise for the helpless and fight for their justice
So lift your voices high
Higher than the mountains of their spite
We are
We are the fearless, the ruthless,
The heralds of our time
So lift your voices high
Higher than the mountains of their spite
We are
We are the fearless, the ruthless,
The heroes of our time
She had to watch him pull the trigger in her daddy's back
Then put his face to the waves till he took his last
Then he took her life with the butt of a gun
Four years from when her life had begun
Rise (x4)
We are all weavers at the loom of the slaughter
But we will rise and make these victims our martyrs
So lift your voices high
Higher than the mountains of their spite
We are
We are the fearless, the ruthless,
The heralds of our time
So lift your voices high
Higher than the mountains of their spite
We are
We are the fearless, the ruthless,
The heroes of our time
Make him beg for his life
Make him beg for his life
He made me watch as my family died
He'll never know what it's like
So cut him slow until his soul takes flight
Hush Yael, they found him and they put him in chains
The one who broke our home is finally feeling pain
Hush little Yael, I'm sorry your lungs are empty
But in your new home, that man will not be seen
End him slow
End him slow
Make him feel the rocks that her temple rode
End him slow
End him slow
End him slow
