Nazareth Music Group Songs

Broken Down Angel was first released in 1973, Broken Down Angel was a popular touring song for the band.

It hails from their album "Razamanaz" and reached #9 on the UK singles chart.

I play this one with a capo 2nd fret in Drop D Tuning  playing a down down down up down up rhythm pattern or you could use all down strokes. Some lead in this one with the chords D, G, A, Db, C, Bm, Gb, E and B7.

Dream On can be found on the 1982 album 2XS and was a single in 1983. The song started out as a demo and eventually had an extra verse added to the song.

The song reached #1 in Poland, #2 in Switzerland and #4 in Austria.

Played with a capo 2nd fret in standard tuning thus one has no lead work. The rhythm you'll need is a down down down down up and repeat with the chords C, F, G,  Gsus and a Gsus2.

Every Time It Rains was a single release back in 1992 but failed to chart for the band.

It can be found on their 1991 album "No Jive".

This number was not released as a single.

This song has no lead in standard tuning playing the chords G, D/Gb, Em, C, G6 and D. The rhythm starts off with arpeggio of notes of the chords and then you can do a shuffle rhythm with down down up down up down up and repeat.
