Biography:
Big Country were a new wave/alternative rock band which formed in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1981. The band consisted of Stuart Adamson (vocals, guitar), Bruce Watson (guitar, vocals), Tony Butler (bass) and Mark Brzezicki (drums). Adamson was a former member of the Scottish punk band The Skids. The band was best known for using the device known as the "e-bow" to alter their guitars to sound like bagpipes. Despite having 15 Top 40 hits in the UK, the band has remained a one hit wonder in the US with their third single "In A Big Country".

Big Country – thirteen valleys
Capo on second fret
Taken from “Without the aid of a safety net”
Intro in G
G
Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love
Em C D
For he thinks he is the one she dreams of
Am
But her bed was made elsewhere
C
From the first day she got there
G D C Db D
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out
D C G
Now he wanders thirteen valleys crying out
D Em
It could have been me, It could have been me
C D Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
C D G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
Thirteen valleys she has gone since moring came
She gave so much that only love remains
Her lover is long gone
With the money she sent on
Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out
It could have been me, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
Bridge
Em D C
That broken heart will be forever and a lifetime
G D C
That broken heart will try your love like none before
Am C
You may fight or you may run
Em D
For what was fast is now undone
C D Em
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
C D G
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
Break
G C D (slide up the C)
Thirteen valleys lying silent in the haze
Filled with promises and spirits that we raise
But the spirits all are ghosts
Of the ones we hurt the most
And they wander thirteen valleys crying out
And they wander thirteen valleys crying
It could have been me, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
Sing agayn
It could have been me, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
My first ever tab ! Hope you enjoy.
Cheers, Brian.
