Biography:
The Crash Test Dummies are a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The band is most identifiable through Brad Roberts (vocals, guitar) and his distinctive bass-baritone voice. The band members have fluctuated over the years, but its best known line-up consisted of Roberts, Ellen Reid (co-vocals, keyboards), Brad's brother Dan Roberts (bass guitar, backing vocals), Benjamin Darvill (harmonica, mandolin), and Mitch Dorge (drums, percussion).

SONGS OF THE UNFORGIVEN
-----------------------
I love this album, but after growing
tired of trying to find any guitar tabs
for it I decided to do it myself.
Note: The notes that are bracketed
are bass notes, usually quickly played
during your transition into the next
Chord.
They don't have to be played, but can
add to the song if you do.
SONNET 1 (AND WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN)
-------------------------------------
Intro:
D|--6--
(The note played just before the first chord)
C# F# C#
C# G# C#
And when the sun goes down into the sky,
C# G#
Together we shall sit and shall sup,
A#m G#
And we shall eat, and drink the heady wine,
C# F# C#
Let us share the over-flowing cup.
(Repeat chords until...)
A#m F
So let us walk and feel the cooling breeze,
F# A#m
Until they're just forgotten memories.
