Behind (When I leave the world behind)
Source notes
This is from Bob Landrys Little Black Book of Tags (using number system). It was one of his first entries when he began the book in the 70s, and is the 2nd tag he taught me as an 11-yr old. I sang tenor, and I always hear this tag sung differently than how he taught me! Maybe he got it wrong, but I like the tenor going to the sharp 4 on the swipe at the end, resulting in a good old BBSP 7th chord (rather than the minor 7th most people sing)! It also results in the 3-part parallel movement of the harmony parts for the final 3 chords, which I think is a neat progression. Al Landry
