I Will Be Your Shield

Billy Bragg

Transposer:

Tabbed from a live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7bjuGcRFU It’s played on piano so these chords are an approximation for guitar. I’ve also simplified what could be complicated major / minor and minor seventh to their minor versions because I like easy. I think it plays best by plucking a single chord and letting it ring. Note that the lyric doesn’t fit on easy chord boundaries so I’ve tried to place chord changes where I think they belong. Suggestions welcome. I’ve been a Bragg fan for 30+ years and I think this song is probably his most complete. Enjoy. [Intro] [Verse 1] When things start to unravel And days fill you with dread And comments dent your confidence Confide in me instead When every little setback Just makes you want to cry And the whole world seems against you And you don’t know why [Chorus] In the battle against your demons I I will be your shield And the world has lost all meaning Together we’ll stand for our love Is the one thing that’s real [Verse 2] When pressure wrought by changes Becomes too much to bear And pain stops you from functioning Trust in me to care When the world beyond your doorstep No longer makes much sense And hostile thoughts suround you I’ll come to your defence [Chorus] In the battle against your demons I I will be your shield And the world has lost all meaning Together we’ll stand for our love Is the one thing that’s real [Bridge] I will be your shield When the angry wave are pounding I will be your shield When the wind whips up the shore I will be your shield When you hear the thunder sounding And the rain beats on your door I will be your shield [Outro]

Cette chanson évoque une profonde promesse de soutien et de protection dans les moments difficiles. L'artiste se positionne comme un rempart face aux épreuves et aux doutes qui assaillent l'autre, lui offrant une épaule sur laquelle se reposer. Les paroles transmettent l'idée que même lorsque le monde semble hostile et que la pression de la vie devient accablante, il est possible de trouver refuge dans l'amour sincère et la solidarité. La présence d'un proche, dévoué et prêt à défendre, apparaît comme une lumière dans l'obscurité des incertitudes. C'est un appel à la confiance et à la résilience, illustrant la force des liens affectifs face aux tempêtes de la vie.
