If there were guitar chords somewhere for some of the songs ! I'd escpecially like to learn "If I were A Clam"

That'd be pretty cool.. some of the songs are nifty-riffic to play.

Jeremy might be able to post those for you, since it's one song and it's not too complicated.

A song chords / tablature section is only one item on a very long todo list of things to tackle for the RAS site.  Stick around long enough, and it will get done!  How soon, I can't say, as I am only one man.

If you start a Tabs site I can probably tab out some stuff for you. I'm a keyboardist by nature, but I have a good ear and I think I vaguely understand guitar tabbing. Could probably tab out a few songs for you.

I definitely want to put tabs and chords up here.  I tabbed out Watches Are Watching Us completely, but Benj doesn't want to put it up until we decide on a standard format or something.  Maybe you guys can talk him into doing it sooner.

In the meantime, I can easily supply chords for all of my songs.  Here's If I Were a Clam (I'm doing this from memory, but it's pretty simple so I think it's right):

Intro: D A G A
Verse: G D F C (x3)
Chorus: D D D D Em Em Em Em D A G D
then repeat intro chords while the strings play

The musical interlude has the same chords as the verse I think.

That's pretty much it.

Perhaps you could organize the links on the song download page. You know, the one with "download, buy cd, lyrics" just have another one that says tabs. As far as the specifics of the actual tabbing, i have no real suggestions.

Don't worry, we're working on a total site redesign, which will probably include your suggestion.  We've wanted to put the chords/tab somewhere with the song for a while.  This site really needs an overhaul.  It's going to be awesome (we hope).

Welcome to the RAS forums.  Glad you like my song.

I thought about adding chat a long time ago...but never did it for some reason (don't know why...it's been years).  By now there aren't enough people who care about RAS to have anybody to chat with, though (I doubt the 4-5 people who post here would sit around all day waiting for someone else to get on).  So the forum is our best bet for communication.

...a ras chat would be really really weird.
And awkward.

I can't picture it.
