Biography:
If you're familiar with Aqueduct you'll be happy to hear that David Terry's love of the pop hook has only gotten stronger with time. However, unlike I Sold Gold's huge, blown-out drum sounds and blip-pop synths, Or Give Me Death finds Terry broadening his tonal horizons to encompass mariachi horns, Gershwin-esque strings, looped and layered vocals, and grand piano. Oh and there's also quite a lot more electric guitar. Terry, the former frontman for 90s band Epperley

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Most of this song is actually keyboard and synthesiser. If you play this
while singing it will sound right and You should get through playing along
with the album just fine, but the fact is that it won't sound identical
because we are changing instruments. With that obvious statement out of the
way, on with the kick-ass song.
Main Riff. Start in a cadd9 position and use your index finger for the 6th
string, with your pinky playing the last note. It's easier than it sounds,
but I don't recommend picking for this as it's all over the fret board. It
sounds better if you let the notes ring out as much as possible. Note that
this is identical to the piano line after the intro.

I've been a father to you all
In spite of what you've heard
and for the most part,
I've been a perfect stranger too
In spite of wat you've heard
You've made me painfull aware
Of what you think of me
And for the most part,
O'm starting to believe it true
I put my faith in you
thats why I'm singing saying
G Eb Ab
Sorry songs I sing
C
To amuse myself
G
I need to hear your voice
Eb Ab
Carry all my weight
Ab C F (note: This sounds weird, but If while playing along with the song F was the
chord I could find)
main riff (there are some variations and Iv'e included them at the end if you want to
them)
I've been a lover to the ones
You'd never realize
And for the most part,
I've been a liar all my life
In spite of what you've heard
a centimeter of a man
I measure up to be
And for the most part,
I might be lonely all my life
I'm lying in the bed I've made
G Eb Ab
Sorry songs I sing
C
To amuse myself
G
I need to hear your voice
Ab
Carry on
So I'm singing saying
G Eb Ab
Sorry songs I sing
C
To amuse myself
G
I need to hear your voice
Eb Ab C
Carry all my weight
F Eb
I know its not to late
G (I'm not sure about this G)
your making a mistake
At this point he sings all of the verses at once, So I won't bother transcribing . Same
as before.
