Trespassers William - Chords - Different Stars

by Frank Gualtier -- 10/02/07

Trespassers William
T
his is my transcription of the title track from the Trespasser's William album Different Stars (2002-2004 SR, Bella Union, Nettwerk).

I originally posted it to ultimateGuitar.com back in march of 2006 but it has since been picked up by many other sites and tabcrawlers.

To date it is, by a huge margin, the most popular transcription I've ever posted. I still get regular emails about it.

A very loved song.

so you'd sing a lul ---- laby to get me to sleep
so it's no surprise my eyes are never heavy
for i've not seen you in the flesh for so long
that i'm not sure we would know each other at all

Trespassers William - Chords - Lie In The Sound

Trespassers WilliamThis is a transcription I did of the Trespassers William song 'Lie In The Sound' from their album 'Different Stars'.

'Different Stars' was originally self released by the band in 2002 then re-released in 2004 under the Nettwerk label.

The band is best known for their dreamy brand of folk and for the Id stirring voice of lead singer/songwriter Anna-Lynne Williams. A voice I have tried many times to describe yet never felt I could do it justice.

If you want to hear that 'sound' everyone talks about with regard to her voice then this song and the title track from the same album are two of the most knee melting examples.
