Golden Brown The Stranglers Transcribed on 2 Aug 2005 by Rónán Ó'Dorchaidh from The Republic of Ireland (Wexford). Up the yellow bellies!! Dia dhuit agus shílim gur thaitin an amhrán seo leat! (Thats "Hello and I hope you like this song" for everyone outside Ireland). Anyway, great Song. Really makes great use of the harpsichord. Well done The Stranglers! Okay, this song is a bit trickey as it changes time signature during the verses (from 6/8 to 7/8, I think) but you'll get the hang of it. It just means keeping the last chords in the bar for that extra beat on 7/8. I've shown where to do this.
