Biography:
The The is an alternative/new wave band formed in 1979 in London, England. Matt Johnson (vocals, multiple instruments) is the only constant band member. Releases are fairly few and far between but over the years The The has managed to sell several million albums internationally.
Johnson formed the first version of the band in 1979, with synth player Keith Laws. The group, after opening for Scritti Politti, issued its first single "Controversial Subject" on the 4AD label in 1980.

This is the tab to the song "December Sunlight", a song by The The off their
2000 album "NakedSelf". It's extremely simple, just 4 chords played
repeatedly. It's originally played on a baritone guitar, so it won't sound
quite the same on a normal guitar, but close enough.
Also, the interludes between verses are a guitar effect you can't exactly
reproduce, so I usually play a quick bounce off of each chord.
The chords are as follows:
C Bb Am
e---0---- e--x---- e--0----
B---1---- B--x---- B--1----
G---0---- G--3---- G--2----
D---2---- D--3---- D--2----
A---3---- A--1---- A--0----
E---x---- E--x---- E--x----
Intro: C Bb Am C
C Bb
The early morning sun lit up her room
Am C
But it wasn’t just a change in the weather
C Bb
She’d read it in her stars and now she felt it in her heart
Am C
Life was gonna start getting better
C
And there was a time when she would pray
Bb
That each teardrop that rolled down her face
Am C
Would represent a day of pain for him
C Bb
But she’s changing the way she feels
Am C
About wasting her time and tears
C Bb Am C
Cried out, cried out, cried out
C Bb Am C
Cried out, cried out, cried out
(interlude)
C Bb
And all the tricks and all the lies
Am
He tried to pull over her eyes
C
Kept running through her mind
C Bb
She looks back in disbelief
Am
In confusion and in grief
C
At what his secrecy was revealing
C
You can scream into the pillow
Bb
You can pray into the night
Am
But you can’t switch off your feelings
C
Like you’d switch out the light
C Bb
But she’s changing the way she feels
Am C
About wasting her time and tears
C Bb Am C
Cried out, cried out, cried out
C Bb Am C
Cried out, cried out, cried out
(interlude)
C Bb
And now these winter skies
Am
Turn blue and bright
C
And she feels alive
C
And wants to drink every kiss
Bb
Make up for what she’s missed
Am C
And wipe him out of her mind
C Bb
Some day he’ll have to grow up
Am
And come clean, and listen to the screams
C
Of his own conscience
C
Cry out, cry out, cry out
Bb
Cry out, cry out, cry out
Am
Cry out, cry out, cry out,
C
Cry out, cry out, cry out...
... And she’ll not hear a sound.
