THE HERD - The Collective West
This is a fun guitar part, if a bit challenging at times.
This is a great new band out of Edmonton, Alberta.
This is off their remarkable debut album, "Things We Do".
Check them out on iTunes. You won't regret it.
Throughout the song, all the B chords are actually Bsus4,
but for simplicity's sake, I just wrote B.
Normally, I would transcribe the chords for the entire song
so that you could play along,
but the timing was getting to be too tedious to figure out.
Chords: A: x02220
C#m7: x46454
E: x76454 during verses
E: 022100 during chorus and bridge

Intro:A C#m7 E C#m7 B
A C#m7 B x2
A C#m7 E
Slow down your mind, you've got time.
C#m7 B A C#m7 B
Why am I always running behind, if there is no finish line?
A C#m7 E
I'll close both my eyes, and I'll try,
C#m7 B A C#m7 B
to remind myself why, we are alive.
A B
'Cause we don't dream, we don't sleep.
C#m7
We won't count sheep,
B A
Even though they're all around us.
E A
We're all part of a herd, haven't you heard?

A B C#m7
If we don't step back and relax, we're bound to snap.
B A
There is money in a minute,
E F#
So we work ourselves to the bone.
A B A
When our time is the only thing we can ever own.
The harder I try to find,
All the words worked in between the lines,
The smaller they write.
But there's no rewind, so think twice,
Before you pick your fights.
'Cause nothing's ever black and white.
No-o-o-o
'Cause we don't dream, we don't sleep.
We won't count sheep,
Even though they're all around us.
We're all part of a herd, haven't you heard?
If we don't step back and relax, we're bound to snap.
There is money in a minute,
So we work ourselves to the bone.
When our time is the only thing that we can ever own.
