Topic: New Tab Postings
Veni, vidi, vici. Well, okay, not exactly, but clearly the signature line of Girlschool's "We Came" -- "We came, we saw, and grew stronger" -- was inspired by Caesar's famous quote. The song comes from the 1992 CD Girlschool. Not too many bands wait until their eighth studio album to release a disc with only the band's name as the title; most do this with their first album. In the November 1992 issue of the UK magazine Guitarist, lead guitarist Cris Bonacci jokingly explained, "The album was going to be called No Bollocks! But in the end we decided to call it simply Girlschool because we realized we'd never used the name of the band as a title before."
This would be Bonacci's fourth and last album with the band. The same interview hinted at her imminent departure. "I've decided that I'll only be in the band as long as I'm doing other things as well. I think that's important; just playing E and A doesn't do you much good -- it limited my playing so much." Which might explain why "We Came" is in B.
Previously, I had done a bass tab for this song. So now there's a guitar tab to go along with it.

The video for this song is one of my favourite Girlschool videos:

From the unusually titled album ... On! (1972) comes Fludd's "Always Be Thinking Of You". (For the story on the titling of this album see this previous blog post 
Sometimes you take a flyer on an album, even when you don't know too much about a band. You've heard a couple of songs and hope you like the rest. I did this back in the 70's with Jackson Hawke's debut album Forever (1976). And to this day it's one of my favourite Canadian "hidden gem" albums from the 70's.
In what's been a mostly overcast and rainy week, this seems like an appropriate tab to be posting, (although it's quite nice out today.) So, by request, "Blowing the Blues Away", a relaxed feel-good tune from Max Webster's 1976 self-titled debut album. Like "Let Go the Line", the previous Max tab posted here, this song was penned by keyboardist Terry Watkinson. While it seems like a pretty straightforward song, there are some things about the tab that I'm not sure about. Those things are outlined in the "Notes" section of the tab itself.
In 1974, Five Man Electrical Band scored a Top 10 hit in Canada with the song "Werewolf". The single, which peaked at #6, first appeared on the LP The Power Of The Five Man Electrical Band, a greatest hits compilation that was released in 1975. This same album was later re-issued on CD under the title of Absolutely Right: The Best Of Five Man Electrical Band.
