"Election Day" by Blaze Foley

To my southern neighbours,
Tomorrow you are expected to choose between an ascending fascist dictator with a ultranationalist paramilitary base of support and a highly militarized police force that is willing to kill, kidnap and maim anyone they see as opposing their entitlements and their privileges, and a pathetic neoliberal opponent who can offer nothing but the same old bullshit that got you to the brink of civil war in the first place.
The choice you are expected to make isn't an easy one and regardless it is unlikely to stop the tide of civil unrest and violence that has been brewing just under the surface of your country since the first civil war. With love and sympathy I hope you are able to make it through and protect your loved ones and communities from the violence that is here and the violence that is to come.

[@Wilbur_Long]

Nice! Both the music and the message are spot on!

[@poorter3847]

Wonderful rendition! 👌

[@johnsonactivity]

what a great cover man. keep on keepin on

[@ninokwim7700]

like it dude. where are you tuned and such? chords. I love this tune you nailed it

[@abbanjo13]

I'm in standard tuning. The chorus are Am, F, and E. The song is the same repeating chord progression from Am to F to Am to E then repeat. At the refrain you repeat the Am to E twice. That's about it, good luck. Glad you enjoyed it as well.

@@abbanjo13 thx for getting back. I'll give her a shot and watch your other videos too. I have a channel as well, some of my stuff is decent

[@adammchugh5456]

Hello friend, do you have links to online music that Im being too dense to locate? Much love from Liverpool.

[@abbanjo13]

Aside from the TH-cam channel I don't have anything. I will be recording an album this year though and I will post about it here.

[@adammchugh5456]

Thats good news, I will look out for it! If you don't mind me saying the gourd banjo has an eery resonance with your voice that sounds particularly timeless... if more people share your music I wouldn't be surprised at all if you become very very well known. All the very best to you, can't wait to buy the album. Check out a british musician called Richard Dawkins, try a tune called 'wooden bag' see what you think :) @@abbanjo13

Don't know how I missed this one

[@abbanjo13]

Not sure it's been up for a little while.

[@taylorrose5916]

This is so good! What are you tuned in? And what chords are you playing? I wanna play this!

[@abbanjo13]

Haha thanks. The banjo is in standard tuning and the key is A minor. So the chords are Am F Am E Am F Am E Am and they just repeat. The melody between verses I can't even remember what I'm doing but the chords are Am G7 G and then the Am E Am turn around when it feels right. There are chord sheets for this song on any tab sheets and they should be in this key. Blaze plays this on the record. Hope that sets you up well. Enjoy.
