Biography:
The Church is an alternative rock band which formed in Sydney, Australia in 1980. Initially linked in with neo-psychedelia acts of the period, their music later became largely defined by the interplay of guitarists Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes coupled with the abstract lyrics of bassist/singer Steve Kilbey. Their debut album, Of Skins and Heart (1981), earned them their first radio hit "The Unguarded Moment". They were originally signed to EMI's Parlophone label

The chords for this song were found on a website called Sing Songs, a website containing multiple tabs and
chords for many other The Church's songs. I chose to transcribe the guitar chords on Ultimate Guitar to give
visibility to the excellent band The Church but also to the work of Jens Berke, creator of Sing Songs.
