Biography:
Silverstein is a 5-piece post-hardcore band from Burlington, Ontario, Canada; formed in 2000. The band name was taken from the famous children's author Shel Silverstein.
After several lineup changes, the band acquired Billy Hamilton, a local fan who learned of the band's need for a bassist on the Internet message board "The 905 Board" (an Ontario area outreach board which used to be for local musicians). In Christmas of 2001, he joined the band after Shane Told helped him learn the music for the songs.

“Help” (The Beatles cover)
A Shipwreck in the Sand (Bonus Track)
Popularized by The Beatles (1965)
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Intro:
Bbm G#
Help! I need somebody
F# Fm
Help! Not just anybody
Ebm
Help! You know I need someone,
G# (hold)
Help!
Verse 1:
G# Cm
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
Fm C#m F# G#
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
G# Cm
But now those days are gone I'm not so self-assured,
Fm C# F# G#
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door.
Chorus:
Bbm Bbm-G#
Help me if you can I'm feeling down.
F# F#-Fm
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Ebm
Help me get my feet back on the ground.
G# (hold) G#
Won't you please please help me.
Verse 2:
G# Cm
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
Fm C#m F# G#
My independence seemed to vanish in the haze.
G# Cm
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
Fm C# F# G#
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
[Repeat Chorus]
