LIGABUE LUCIANO - "libera nos a malo" Tablature

Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 20:51:27 +0100
Subject: TAB: "Libera nos a malo" by Ligabue

Song name: "Libera nos a malo"
Artist: Luciano Ligabue
Original album name: "Lambrusco, coltelli, rose e popcorn" (Italy, 1992)
Author (words and music): Luciano Ligabue

Guitar effects used: nothing special, only a serious distorsion and
quite a lot reverb
Song speed: about 145 bpm
Notes on the song: I transcribed the arrangement of the studio version;
it can sound different from the more recent live version (from the album
"Su e giù da un palco" - 1997).

I know that there is already a version of this song, but I think that my
transcription could be added to that one because:
- I added significant corrections to the lead guitar parts (solo and
riffs)
- I rewrote (I think more exactly) the chords succession
- I transcribed in full the lyrics, which aren't present in Enrico
Ruggeri's version
- I admit that I took several things from Enrico Ruggeri's version and
I'm ready to acknowledge the fact.

Happy new year!

Play 2 times the riff, then...

...2nd verse (the same chords as before):

Oh, mama, mama, sarò cattivo,
ma sono carne e sangue, insomma vivo
Eccomi, mama, col capo chino,
com'è il castigo? Perché il castigo?

Oh, mama,
lei stava bene, io stavo bene
Oh, mama,
o è proprio questo che non si può dire?

Libera nos a malo,
però il mio male qual è?
Libera piano piano
che ci scordiamo com'è
Libera nos a malo,
toglici pure il perché
Libera libera libe, libera libera libera, libera
