Foreign Land Tab

by Eskimo Joe


Not many Tabs on this and most are way out. This is pretty close.
This song has 3 guitarists but I have tabbed for just 1 or 2 and I have not done the 
yet. If you use this tab it is enough to get by with on the one axe.
This is my 1st ever Tab!!

    577555
     x35553
     x57775 or xx0232
     133211
     355433

(Fig 2, Fig 3 & Fig 4) are for use if have 2 guitars playing song together, otherwise 
n match as you wish.

Fig 3 is played alot through the whole song but not tabbed here as it is the 3rd guitar 
this part during verse and chorus. Listen closely and you can hear it.

Enjoy, this song rocks!!!!


FOREIGN LAND by The Eskie's!:

                  (Fig 3) (Fig 3)


Steady my shaky hands

Shut off the world's demands
           
to get the facts down
         
Do you understand?


This is a foreign land

So try to understand that
         
Do you understand?
         
Do you understand?


This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that
F    (Fig 3)
Even when you're all alone
D    (Fig 3)
Even when it's not your home

   


Take a little look around

nothing else hits the ground
      
Touch my hand
       
up to the air


Dying in the foreign land

So do you understand that
         
Do you understand?
         
Do you understand?


This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that
F    (Fig 3)
Even when you're all alone
D    (Fig 3)
Even when it's not your home
                                     
I smell the blood of an Australian
                            
Try to understand this if you can
       D (Fig 4)
if you can
       (Fig 1) x 4   (3rd time & 4th time put in Fig 2)
if you can

(Solo)
      


This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love
then I can feel that
D    (Fig 3)
Even when you're all alone
G    (Fig 3)
When it's not your home
                                     (Fig 4)
I smell the blood of an Australian
