Break on Through by the Doors

Good tabs here, and video lesson here. Good cover here (in C!),

Melody starts on 5th. Nice to do low (A string 2nd fret). Make it really bassy, and just play the bass line on the guitar, no Em. And for the D, play as x002xx. And for the break on through, can just play the bass since it sounds so much like phrase, and just sing to the other side.

Riff 1 (you know the day destroys the night...)

|------------------------------|

|--2---0-----2-----0-----------|

Em

You know the day destroys the night, night divides the day

D

Tried to run, tried to hide

(riff 2)

Em

Break on through to the other side

Verse 2:

We chased our pleasures here, dug out treasures there

D

Can you still recall the time we cried?

Em

Break on through to the other side

Bridge:

Everybody loves my baby

She gets.... high

Verse 3:

I find an island in your arms, a country in your eyes

D

Arms that changed, eyes that lied

Em

Break on through to the other side

Verse 4 (different melody):

Made the scene, week to week, day to day, hour to hour

D

the gate is straight, deep and wide

Em

Break on through to the other side

A feast of friends

"Alive", she cried

Waiting for me, outside

Em A 4x

Before I sink into the big sleep

I want to hear, I want to hear

The scream of the butterfly

Em A 4x

Come back, baby

Back into my arms

We're gettin' tired of hangin' around

Waitin' around, with our heads to the ground

I hear a very gentle sound

Very near, yet very far

Very soft, yeah, very clear

Come today, come today

What have they done to the Earth?

What have they done to our fair sister?

Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her

Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn

And tied her with fences

And dragged her down

I hear a very gentle sound

With your ear down to the ground

We want the world and we want it...

Now Now? NOW!

Em A 4x

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty

A

Winding your way down on Baker Street

Lite in your head, and dead on your feet

Well another crazy day, you drink the night away

And forget about everything

This city desert makes you feel so cold, its got

So many people but its got no soul

When you thought it held everything.

You used to think that it was so easy

Dm7 Am7

You used to say that it was so easy

C G D

But you're tryin, you're tryin now

Another year and then you'd be happy

Dm7 Am7

Just one more year and then you'd be happy

But you're cryin', you're cryin now

Way down the street there's a light in his place

You open the door, he's got that look on his face

Em G

And he asks you where youv'e been, you tell him who you've seen

D

And you talk about anything

A

He's got this dream about buyin' some land

He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands

Em G

And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town

D

And forget about everything

Dm7 Am7

But you know he'll always keep moving

Dm7 Am7

You know he's never gonna stop moving

C G D

Cause he's rollin, He's the rolling stone

|2/4 NC |C/D |Bm |

Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town

|C/D |Bm

Doing anything just to get you off of my mind

Trying to forget you is just a waste of time

Chorus:

Heart of Glass by Blondie

(easier to sing in D, but album is E I think)

Intro: D

Verse 1:

D B7

Once I had a love and it was a gas,

Bm7 D

Soon turned out; I had a heart of glass.

B7

Seemed like the real thing, only to find;

Bm7 D

Much mistrust; love's gone be-hind.

Verse 2:

D B7

Once I had a love and it was di-vine,

Bm7 D

Soon found out; I was losing my mind.

B7

Seemed like the real thing but I was so blind,

Bm7 D

Much mistrust; love's gone be-hind.

Chorus 1:

G D

In between, what I find is pleasing, and I'm feeling fine.

G

Love is so confusing; there's no peace of mind. If I fear I'm losing you;

E7 A7

It's just no good: you teasing like you do.

Interlude: D

Verse 3:

D B7

Once I had a love and it was a gas,

Bm7 D

Soon turned out; I had a heart of glass.

B7

Seemed like the real thing, only to find;

Bm7 D

Much mistrust; love's gone be-hind.

Chorus 2:

G D

Lost inside, adorable illusion, and I cannot hide.

G

I'm the one you're using; please don't push me aside,

D

We coulda made it cruising, yeah.

Titty Kazoo:

G D, G D (x2)

E7 A7

Riding high on love's true bluish light.

Break:

D

Ooh ooh, woah oh, ooh ooh, woah oh.

Verse 4:

D B7

Once I had a love and it was a gas,

Bm7 D

Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass.

B7

Seemed like the real thing, only to find;

Bm7 D

Much mistrust; love's gone be-hind.

Coda:

D

Ooh ooh, woah oh, ooh ooh, woah oh.

I Cant Go for That by Hall & Oates

van session version...

Album is Cm, but waaay easier to sing in Gm. Album version is below.

(Starting note is the high D, but do-able)

Intro: Cm (bass riff A3 A3 A3 E3-E6-E3-E6)

Gm C

Easy, ready, willing, overtime

Where does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line.

You've got my body, now you want my soul

Don't even think about it. Say, no go... Yeah

G Gmaj7 G7 C

I, I-I, I'll do anything, that you want me to do..

Yeah, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything, that you want me to do..

Gm C (or C7?)

Yeah But I can't go for that, nooo. No can do.

I can't go for that, nooo. No can do.

I can't go for that, nooo. No can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

I can go for being twice as nice

I can go for just repeating the same old lines

Use my body now you want my soul,

Ooh, forget about it now, say no go.

[G - Gmaj7 section again]

[Yeah but I cant go for that section again]

[Titty over a verse]

[repeat]

And again, in Cm, which I think is album key:

Intro: Fm (bass riff)

Cm F

Easy, ready, willing, overtime

Where does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line.

You've got the body, now you want my soul

Don't even think about it. Say, no go... Yeah

C Cmaj7 C7 F

I, I-I, I'll do anything, that you want me to do..

Yeah, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything, that you want me to do, ooh

Cm F (or F7?)

Yeah But I can't go for that, nooo. No can do.

I can't go for that, nooo. No can do.

I can't go for that, nooo. No can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

I can go for being twice as nice

I can go for just repeating the same old lines

Use my body now you want my soul,

Ooh, forget about it now, say no go.

[C - Cmaj7 section again]

[Yeah but I cant go for that section again]

[Titty over a verse]

[repeat]

Sara Smile by Hall & Oates

Original key is Dm, doing down 1.5 steps since my balls arent currently caught in a vice.

Melody starts pm the 5th (F# = A string 9th fret or D string 4th fret)

I think sounds best to play with moving E bar shape

Bbdim = 6x565x

Gdim = same shape starting on 3

Fun to strum the Bm7 (on 7th fret) as an intro and slide down from 8th fret sometimes). Get a good beat going.

To do regular intro, use chorus chords.

Nice way to do the intro riff is make the Bm7 on 7th fret and play:

|----------------------------------------|

|---7H9-7---------------------------7-8-|

|----------9-7------ 7H9- 10 9 7-----|

|---------------10-10--------------------| (then repeat. The H means hammer)

VERSE 1

Bm7 F#m7

Baby hair with a woman's eyes

Gmaj7 F#7 Gdim

I can feel you watching in the night

Bm7 F#m7 Gmaj7 Em7 F#7

All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight

PRE CHORUS

G A Bbdim Bm7

When I feel cold, ya warm me

G A C Bm7

And when I feel I can't go on, you come and hold me

Em7

It's you...and me forever

CHORUS (nice to do bass roll between Em7 and A: E-F#-G-A-Bb)

Bm7 F#m7 Em7 A Bbm (or Bbdim)

Sara (smile) smile

Bm7 F#m7 Em7 A Bbm

Oh, won't you smile awhile for me, Sara...

VERSE 2

Bm7 F#m7

If you feel like leaving you know you can go

Gmaj7 F#7 Gdim

But why don't you stay until tomorrow?

Bm7 F#m7 Gmaj7 Em7 F#7

If you want to be free you know, all you've got to do is say so

Pre Chorus (same as last time: G - A - Bbdim, Bm7, etc)

Chorus (same as last)

Bridge (not sure where, or if this is right):

Em Bb D G Bb

Outro:

Bm7 F#m7 Em7 A Bb

Smile

Bm7 F#m7 Em7 A

Oh, won't you smile awhile for me, Sara

Bm7 F#m7 Em7 A Bb

Good ending chord: Bm7+9 = 797779 (not sure its called Bm7+9)

Am7 Em7 Dm7 G Ab

Smile awhile won't you laugh and sing

Good ending chord: Am7+9 = 575557 (not sure its called Am7+9)

And again, in G:

The big disadvantage is that cant use the moving E bar shapes, and cant get that nice bass roll up the E string on the chorus.

Ebdim = x6786x

VERSE 1

Gm7 Dm7

Baby hair with a woman's eyes

Ebmaj7 D7 Ebdim

Gm7 Dm7 Cm7 F Gb

Good ending chord: Gm7+9 = 353353 (not sure its called Gm7+9)

Youre No Good (Linda Ronstadt)

Heres the van session version, and Linda doing it live..

Linda does it in Bbm, and I used to like it in Am (and for some reason thought was easy to sing), but now I like it in Dm. Em also works for me. Dm is first here, and Am is after that.

Fmaj7 = 102210

Dm7 = xx0211

Bass: A5-A3-A2-A0-A2-G3-A2-A0

She's a very kinky girl

The kind you don't take home to mother

She will never let your spirits down

Once you get her off the street, ow girl

/ Dm7 Am7 G Am7 / / / /

She likes the boys in the band

She says that I'm her all-time favorite

When I make my move to her room it's the right time

She's never hard to please, oh no

{Refrain}

That girl is pretty wild now - the girl's a super freak

The kind of girl you read about - in new-wave magazines

That girl is pretty kinky - the girl's a super freak

I really love to taste her - every time we meet

Dm7 Am7 Dm7 Am7

She's all right, she's all right

Super freak, super freak

She's a very special girl

The kind of girl you want to know

From her head down to her toenails

Down to her feet

Yet she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends

In a limousine

Chrome and black and shiny, now

Three's not a crowd to her, she says

"Room 714, I'll be waiting"

When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles

It's such a freaky scene

{Refrain}

She's a super freak, super freak, she's super-freaky, yow

Temptations sing - O-o-oh

Super freak, super freak, that girl's a super freak

O-o-oh

She's a very kinky girl

The kind you won't take home to mother

She will never let your spirits down

Once you get her off the street

Love Will Tear us Apart by Joy Division

The whole song is Em - D - Bm - A.

Intro play an Am as 57700x, strumming hard. Or isi tt an A9? (x02200)

Theres some fun ways to do that, like the Nouvelle Vague way: (hear it) (original version)

Another fun progression: Em (regular) - D (x4422x) - Bm - A9

Fun to jam hard at the end, and end on E major.

Em D Dsus4 D Dmaj9

And resentment rides high

Bm [Em7-] A

But emotions won't grow

Em D Dsus4 D Dmaj9

And we're changing our ways

Bm [Em7-] A

Taking different roads

Em D Dsus4 D Dmaj9 Bm A

Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is this bedroom so cold?

You turned away on your side

Is my timing that flawed?

Am I feeling surprised? [in other versions: our respect runs so dry]

Yet there's still this appeal

That we've kept through our lives

Love, love will tear it apart again

You cry out in your sleep

All my feelings exposed

And there's a taste in my mouth

As despiration takes hold

Yet, that somehing's so good

Just can't function no more, when

Love, love will tear us apart again

Pretty In Pink by Psychedelic Furs

Sounds good as power chords? Original version.

The F#m and G chords in the verses can be left out or included as transitional chords.

Intro:

D Bm A G A (x2)

D C

Caroline laughs and It's raining all day

Em (F#m G) A

She loves to be one of the girls

D C

She lives in the place in the side of our lives

Em (F#m G) A

Where nothing is ever put straight

D C

She turns herself round and she smiles and she says

Em (F#m G) A

This is it, that's the end of the joke

D C

And loses herself in her dreaming and sleep

Em (F#m G) A

And her lovers walk through in their coats, she's

Chorus:

Em F#m G F#m

Pretty in pink, isn't she?

Em F#m G A

Pretty in pink, isn't she?

D C

All of her lovers all talk of her notes

Em (F#m G) A

And the flowers that they never sent

D C Em (F#m G)

And wasn't she ea---sy

A

And isn't she pretty in pink

D C

The one who insists he was first in the line

Em (F# G) A

Is the last to remember her name

D C

He's walking around

Em F#m

In this dress that she wore

G A

She is gone but the joke's the same

Em F#m G F#m

Pretty in pink, isn't she?

Em F#m G A

Pretty in pink, isn't she?

Titty Kazoo (intro pattern):

D Bm A G A (x4)

D C

Caroline talks to you softly sometimes

Em (F#m G) A

She says I love you and too much

D C

She doesn't have anything you want to steal

Em (F#m G) A

Well...........Nothing you can touch

D C Em F#m G

Sh-----e.......waves

A

She buttons your shirt

D C

The traffic is waiting outside

Em

She hands you this coat

F#m G A

She gives you her clothes, these cars collide

Em F#m G F#m

Pretty in pink, isn't she?

Love My Way by Psychedelic Furs

Cmaj7: x32000. Or can do as x35500

Can do the Bm as either x24400 or x20200

The Cmaj7 to Bm sounds good as x35500 - x24400. Can even do the whole song like that...

Intro: Cmaj7 Bm Cmaj7 Bm

Cmaj7

There's an army on the dance floor

Bm

It's a fashion with a gun my love

Cmaj7

In a room without a door

Bm

A kiss is not enough... in

CHORUS

C D

Love my way it's a new road

C D

I follow where my mind goes

Cmaj7

They'd put us on a railroad

Bm

They'd dearly make us pay

Cmaj7

For laughing in their faces

Bm

And making it our way

Cmaj7

There's emptiness behind their eyes

Bm

There's dust in all their hearts

Cmaj7

They just want to steal us all and

Bm

Take us all apart... but not in

Chorus 2x

Titty Kazoo over verse

What are Words For by Missing Persons

great alternative version

Sounds good doing the ascending melody up the D string while strumming the a chord.

The E sounds good as x79900

Intro (can skip):

A (D here optionally. They dont do it in the song, but I like it. Repeat pattern whole intro)

Do you hear me

Do you care

Do you hear me

Do you care

Verse:

A

My lips are moving and the sound is coming out

The words are audible but I have my doubts

E D

That you realize what has been said

A

You look at me as if you're in a daze

It's like the feeling at the end of the page

E D F#

when you realize you don't know what you just read

Chorus:

B D A B

What are words for when no one listens anymore

(What are words for) when no one listens

D A C G E

(What are words for) when no one listens it's no use talkin at all

A

I might as well go and talk to a wall

'cause all the words are having no effect at all

E D

It's a sorry state, I say to myself

A

Something has to happen to change the direction

What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression

E D F#

It's a sorry state am I all alone?

B D A B

What are words for when no one listens anymore

(What are words for) when no one listens

D A C G E

(What are words for) when no one listens it's no use talkin at all

A (D)

Do you hear me

Do you care

Do you hear me

Do you care

Bridge plays a B - F# - D - A pattern while she does spoken word (not sure about the last two chords)

End on an E to go back to the verse?

A

Pursue it any further and another thing you'll find

Not only are they deaf and dumb they could be going blind

E D

noone notices... I think i'll dye my hair blue.

A

Media overload bombarding you with action

It's getting near impossible to cause distraction

E D F#

someone answer me.. before i pull out the plug.

Chorus:

B D A B

What are words for when no one listens anymore

(What are words for) when no one listens

D A C G E

(What are words for) when no one listens it's no use talkin at all

(repeat the chorus)

A - D pattern

Do you hear me?

Do you care?

Do you hear me?

Do you care?

(repeat as a jam?)

It Aint Easy by David Bowie

I like to do this like the intro to Rainbow Connection, with an A sliding up to 7th fret.

These chords are definitely a lot different than the original, more like an interpretation.

In A, not D like album, much easier to sing. Like a nice blues droney jam.

A D (A slid up to 7)

When you climb to the top of the mountain

Look out over the sea

Think about the places perhaps where a young man could be

Then you jump back down to the rooftops

Look out over the town

Think about all of the strange things circulating round

CHORUS

C A D

It ain't easy, it ain't easy

C A D

It ain't easy, it ain't easy

C D A

It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down

A D (A slid up to 7)

Well all the people have got their problems

That ain't nothing new

With the help of the good Lord we can all pull on through

We can all pull on through

Get there in the end

Sometimes takes you right up and puts you down again

CHORUS

C A D

It ain't easy, it ain't easy

C A D

It ain't easy, it ain't easy

C D A

It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down

A D (A slid up to 7)

Satisfaction, satisfaction

Keep me satisfied

I've got the love of a Hoochie Coochie woman she calling from inside

She's a-calling from inside

Trying to get to you

All the woman really wants you can give her something too

CHORUS x2

Rainbow Connection

Intro: A - D. (can play the D as an A slid up to 7th fret...)

A F#m Bm7 E

Why are there so many songs about rainbows

And what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions

And rainbows have nothing to hide

Dmaj7

So we've been told, and some choose to believe it

G#m7

I know they're wrong, wait and see

Bm7 E7 C#m7 F#7

Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection

Bm7 E7sus4 A [repeat intro riff]

The lovers, the dreamers, and me

A F#m Bm7 E

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered

When wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it

And look what it's done so far

Dmaj7

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing

G#m7

And what do we think we might see?

Bm7 E7 C#m7 F#7

Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection

Bm7 E7sus4 A [repeat intro riff]

The lovers, the dreamers, and me

E F#m A

All of us under its spell

D A Bm7 E7 (to modulate, F7 I think)

We know that its probably magic...

A F#m Bm7 E

Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices?

I've heard them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?

The voice might be one and the same

Dmaj7

I've heard it too many times to ignore it

G#m7

It's something that I'm supposed to be

Bm7 E7 C#m7 F#7

Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection

Bm7 E7sus4 A [repeat intro riff]

The lovers, the dreamers, and me

E F#m A

La da da dee da da dooo

La la da da da dee da dooo

Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G7 (descending from 8th fret)

C A7 Dm7

G7 C C#dim7 Dm7 G7

I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue

C A7 Dm7

I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted

G7 C F C C7

And then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new

F C C7 (bass riff: C-B-C C#)

Worry, why do I let myself worry?

D7 G7

Wond'ring, what in the world did I do?

C A7 Dm

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you

Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C

I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying

Dm7 G7 C (if want to modulate, go to Ab, then rest is up 1/2)

And I'm crazy for loving you

C A7 Dm7

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you

Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C

I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying

Dm7 G7 C

And I'm crazy for loving you.

Fun outro riff: C - C#dim7 - Dm7 - C-beatles

Alternative lyrics from Pat Donohue (youtube link)

i'm crazy

and borderline manic depressive

i'm crazy

paranoid shitzoid too (me too!)

they gave me

some kind of new medication

and lately I think I'm delirious too

Crazy!

My analyst drives a mercedes

And lately I'm wondering what good does he do, I may sue

And I'm crazy

Psychotic and substance dependant

I'm passive aggressive, obsessive compulsive

And I'm crazy from loving you

solo

Worried!

You bet your ass I get worried

Just wonderin - wonderin just what I should do

Cause I'm crazy

Psychotic and substance dependant

I'm laughing and crying at the logically lying

And I'm crazy from loving you

I Dont Want to be Alone by Billy Joel

From here, and theres lots of other good Billy Joel transcriptions there.

Album key is capo up one.

Nice version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4j7GTjGrCs In that cover plays the Bm as x20202

I like to play it all barres. Find the groove (same pattern, once ending in Bm and once in D)

For the rhythm of the intro riff, just listen to the song. The chords are

D - Em - G - G - Bm - A with the right hand following the left hand.

G A Bm A G

She said she'd meet me in the bar at the Plaza Hotel

A D A G

wear a jacket and a tiiii-eee-iiii

A Bm

"What's the occasion?" She just smiled

C#m F#

and she wouldn't say whyyyy

G A Bm

Mm, so here I am standing, waiting in the lobby

A G A D A G

sweating bullets in this stupid old suit

A Bm

And when she sees me she busts out laughing,

G A

"You're a sad sight honey but you look so cute and..."

[Chorus]

D A

I don't want to be alone anymore,

D A

I was checking you out, I was just making sure

D A

No, I don't want to be alone anymore,

D A

and I want you tonight although you hurt me before

F# Bm G

It didn't matter that I felt like a fool,

D C#m

'cause I forgot when she walked through the doooor

F# Bm G

I said I'm sorry but she said it was cool,

D A D

and I don't want to be alone anymore

Instrumental

G / A / Bm / / / G / A / D / / /

G / A / Bm / / / C#m / / /

Mmmmmm

G A Bm A G

It's so confusing choosing sides in the heat of the moment

A D A G

just to see if it's real

A Bm

Ooh, it's so erotic having you tell me

C#m F#

how it should feeeel

G A Bm A G

But I'm avoiding all the hard, cold facts that I've got to face

A D A G

so ask me just one question when this magic night is through -

A Bm C#m

Could it have been just anyone or did it have to be you

A

And will you still be saying

[Chorus]

D A

I don't want to be alone anymore,

D A

I was checking you out, I was just making sure

D A

No, I don't want to be alone anymore,

D A

and I want you tonight although you hurt me before

F# Bm G

It didn't matter that I felt like a fool,

D C#m

'cause I forgot when she walked through the doooor

F# Bm G

I said I'm sorry but she said it was cool,

D A D

and I don't want to be alone anymore

Instrumental (over first half of verse):

G / A / Bm / / / G / A / D / / /

G / A / Bm / / / C#m / / /

Mmmmmm

G A Bm A G

But don't you know that it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong?

A D A G

And like a song, being caught by the wink of an eye

A Bm

I can't be sure we'll get along but I'm willing to try

C#m F#

As long as you can tell me

[Chorus]

D A

I don't want to be alone anymore,

D A

I was checking you out, I was just making sure

D A

No, I don't want to be alone anymore,

D A

and I want you tonight although you hurt me before

F# Bm G

It didn't matter that I felt like a fool,

D C#m

'cause I forgot when she walked through the doooor

F# Bm G

I said I'm sorry but she said it was cool,

D A D

and I don't want to be alone anymore

Anyone For Tennis by Cream

For intro, strum on a G. Can play the flute melody on the D string, or by playing a C chord like in Wish You Were Here (x32033)

D13 = xx0202

D7

Twice upon a time in the valley of tears

C7

An auctioneer is biding for a box of fading years

D7

And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squearling mice

C7 (Cmaj7)? G C G C G

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.

D7

And the ice-creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer,

C7

While the beggars stain the pavements with florescent Christmas cheer

D7

And the Bentley driving guru is putting up his price

C7 Cmaj7 G C G

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.

D13 E7 D13 E7 (D13 = xx0202)

And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope

A C

With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes

D7

and you can tell they're all the same underneath the pretty lights

C7 Cmaj7 G C G

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.

D13 E7 D13 E7

The yellow Buddhist monk is burning brightly at the zoo

A C

You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too,

D7

and fate is setting up the chess-board while death rolls out the dice

C7 Cmaj7 G C G C G

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.

Help on the Way (by the Dead)

Fm (8th fret) Cm (bar) Cm7 (8-10-8888) Fm

Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames.

Fm Cm Cm7 Fm

She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame.

Bb7 (1st fret)

Poised for flight, wings spread bright,

Bb7 Bb9? (x13113) or maybe Fm9? (x86888)

spring from night into the sun.

Fm Cm Cm7 Fm

Dont stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she cant be outdone.

Tell me the cost; I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost.

Sell everything; without love day to day insanitys king.

Bb7 (1st fret)

I will pay day by day,

anyway, lock, bolt and key.

Crippled but free, I was blind all the time I was learning to see.

Help on the way, well, I know only this, Ive got you today.

Dont fly away, cause I love what I love and I want it that way.

I will stay one more day, like I say, honey its you.

Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true.

Aint Misbehavin (Fats Waller)

Awesome tutorial

I really like this version

The mighty Leon Redbons version, and him doing it live on SNL (tuned down a whole step?)

Was doing it in G for awhile, but really low and hard to sing. This C version seems a bit better? Nice youtube version in C. Another great tutorial in C by that woman here. I also like it in F but dont try to do the bridge.

Again, in A:

Intro (3rd line aint misbehavin)

Rocket Man by Elton John

Jason Mraz version 1, version 2, studio (capo 2nd or 3rd)

Elton John does it in G, so capo 3rd fret to match.

Mraz plays the Em as a 9th: 024030

Also, normally the verses are Em7 - A, but I like the Em9 - Am7 that Mraz uses. Darker.

Can just play the Em9 as Em or Em7, but sounds great with the Em9.

Em9 = 024030

Am7 = x02213

Em9 A

She packed my bags last night - pre-flight

Em9 A

Zero hour, nine A.M.

(descending bass walk)

C G Am D (with F# bass, thumbed)

And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

Em9 A

I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife

Em9 A

It's lonely out in space

C G Am D (Mraz then does a 2nd bass walk...)

On such a timeless flight as this

Chorus

G C

And I think it's gonna be a long long time

G

Til touchdown brings me 'round to find

C

I'm not the man they think I am at home

G A

Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man

C G

Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone (x2)

Em9 A

Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids

Em9 A

In fact it's cold as hell

C G Am D

And there's no one there to raise them if you did

Em9 A

And all this science, I don't understand

Em9 A

It's just my job five days a-week

C G Am D

Rocket man - - - rocket man

Chorus

G C

And I think it's gonna be a long long time

Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man

Hallelujia by Leonard Cohen

The original, and Jeff Buckleys awesome version, and a phenomenal cover (whole step up, in D)

Key of C (used by Buckley and Cohen) is hard, I put it in A below this, way easier. Actually I think Jeff plays it in G capod on 5th fret.

Intro: C Am C Am

Verse 1:

C Am

I heard there was a secret chord

C Am

That David played and it pleased the lord

F G C G

But you don't really care for music, do you?

C F G

Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth

Am F (F with D on E string)

The minor fall and the major lift

G Em Am

The baffled king composing hallelujah

Chorus:

F Am F C G C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Verse 2:

C Am

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

C Am

You saw her bathing on the roof

F G C G

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

C F G

She tied you to her kitchen chair

Am F

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

G Em Am

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Chorus:

F Am F C G C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Verse 3:

C Am

Baby I've been here before

C Am

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

F G C G

I used to live alone before I knew you

C F G

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Am F

But love is not a victory march

G Em Am

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Chorus:

F Am F C G C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Verse 4:

C Am

Well there was a time when you let me know

C Am

What's really going on below

F G C G

But now you never show that to me do you

C F G

But remember when I moved in you

Am F

And the holy dove was moving too

G Em Am

And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Chorus:

F Am F C G C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Verse 5:

C Am

Well, maybe there's a god above

C Am

But all I've ever learned from love

F G C G

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

C F G

It's not a cry that you hear at night

Am F

It's not somebody who's seen the light

G Em Am

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Chorus:

F Am F C G C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Hallelujia, in G for easier singing. I think this is how Jeff plays it, capod 5th fret.

Melody starts on the 5th.

You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain

You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane

D A

You know I'd give you everything for a little peace of mind

A G#7 D E

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset

Ill Cry Instead by the Beatles

For intro, could do G bar to C6 (x35555) or C9

Actually really nice to do it in F. Theres a good beat for it in a voice memo note. Do the verses as F - Bb9.

I got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet,

C G C D D7

I can't talk to people that I meet

C7

If I could see you now, Id try to make you sad somehow.

G D7 G

But I can't, so I'll cry instead.

Bridge:

Bm

Don't want to cry when there's people there,

A7

I get shy when they start to stare;

D E7 A D

I'm gonna hide myself away, but I'll come back again some day

Verse3:

G C G C G

And when I do you better hide all the girls,

C G C D7

cos I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world

and show you what your lovin man can do;

G D7 G

until then I'll cry instead.

Rocky Racoon by the Beatles

Whole song is Am D G C - C/B

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota

There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon

And one day his woman ran off with another guy

Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that

He said I'm gonna get that boy

So one day he walked into town

Booked himself a room in the local saloon

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Rocky had come equipped with a gun

To shoot off the legs of his rival

His rival it seems had broken his dreams

By stealing the girl of his fancy

Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil

But everyone knew her as Nancy

Now she and her man who called himself Dan

Were in the next room at the hoe down

Rocky burst in and grinning a grin

He said Danny boy this is a showdown

But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot

And Rocky collapsed in the corner, ah

D'da d'da d'da da da da, etc.

D'do d'do d'do do do do, etc.

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin

And proceeded to lie on the table

He said Rocky you met your match

And Rocky said, doc it's only a scratch

And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able

And now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt

To help with good Rocky's revival, ah

Oh yeah, yeah

D'do d'do d'do do do do, etc.

D'do d'do d'do do do do, come on, Rocky boy

Just the Two of Us by Bill Withers

Capo 1 for album key of Db.

Throughout:

Cmaj7 B7 / Em7 Dm7 G7 / Cmaj7 B7 / Em7

I see the crystal raindrops fall

And the beauty of it all

Is when the sun comes shining through

To make those rainbows in my mind

When I think of you sometime

And I want to spend some time with you

[Chorus]

Just the two of us

We can make it if we try

Just the two of us

Building castles in the sky

Just the two of us

You and I

We look for love no time for tears

Wasted water's all that is

And it don't make no flowers grow

Good things might come to those who wait

Not for those who wait too late

We gotta go for all we know

[Chorus]

I hear the crystal raindrops fall

On the window down the hall

And it becomes the morning dew

And darling when the morning comes

And I see the morning sun

I want to be the one with you.

And unconfirmed but I saw this posted for the bridge chords:

Cmaj7 B7 A7sus4 A7 Bbmaj7 G7sus4 G7 Cmaj7 F13 :]] 2x

This sounds right to me:

Johnny B. Goode

I like to do it like the style with Raz. Use that A minor 6th type chord (5x455x) the whole time. Super spooky and dissonant.

Start with chorus.

Be Good. Be good. Oh oh Johnny B. Good. Etc.

Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens

There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

Who never ever learned to read or write so well

But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell

Go Johnny go

Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track

Oh, the engineerswould see him sitting in the shade

Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made

People passing by they would stop and say

Oh my that little country boy could play

Go Johnny go

Johnny B. Goode

His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,

And you will be the leader of a big old band.

Many people coming from miles around

To hear you play your music when the sun go down

Maybe someday your name will be in lights

Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."

Go Johnny go

Johnny B. Goode

Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Am C D E5

Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

I miss your kissing and I miss your head

And the letter that you're writing doesn't mean you're not dead

Run outside in the desert heat

Make your dress all wet and send it to me

I miss your soup and I miss your bread

And the letter that you're writing doesn't mean you're not dead

So spill your breakfast and drip your wine

Just wear that dress when you di-i-ie

[long period of playing the e, titty kazoo time over an e?]

Sitting here wishing on the cement floor

Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Bloody your hands on a cactus tree

Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

Sitting here wishing on the cement floor

Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

Hello, hello, hello!

[Chorus]

[Power chords again]

With the lights out, it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino

A mosquito, my libido

And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

Hello, hello, hello!

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

And I forget just why I taste

Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile

I found it hard, it's hard to find

Nice to do it pretty fast. Melody starts on the 3rd.

Also nice to do it in Fm (down a step).

Bb/A = x88760

F/E = x33210

(slide same shape between two positions)

Can also add riff like this version, where Bb/A B string goes between 6th and 5th fret, and in F/E it switches between the Fmaj7 and F.

He's told us not to blow it

F

C/G C7 A G (holding high E5)

Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

Or I think Dm7 - Cmaj7 - Gm7 - Dm7 - Cmaj7.

Weird rhythm. See that cover.

Waiting for a Miracle by Leonard Cohen

Ebdim: x01212

Intro: Em

Em

Baby, I've been waiting

D Em

I've been waiting night and day

I didn't see the time

D Em

I waited half my life away

D

There were lots of invitations

Ebdim B7

And I know you sent me some

Em D

But I was waiting

C D Ebdim B7 Em

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

I know you really loved me

But, you see, my hands were tied

I know it must have hurt you

It must have hurt your pride

To have to stand beneath my window

With your bugle and your drum

And me I'm up there waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah I don't believe you'd like it

You wouldn't like it here

There ain't no entertainment

And the judgements are severe

The Maestro says it's Mozart

But it sounds like bubble gum

When you're waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Am

Waiting for the miracle

Em

There's nothing left to do

B7

I haven't been this happy

Em

Since the end of World War II

Am

Nothing left to do

When you know that you've been taken

Em

Nothing left to do

When you're begging for a crumb

C

Nothing left to do

When you've got to go on waiting

Ebdim B

Waiting for the miracle to come

Yeah I dreamed about you, baby

It was just the other night

Most of you was naked

Ah but some of you was light

The sands of time were falling

From your fingers and your thumb

And you were waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah baby, let's get married

We've been alone too long

Let's be alone together

Let's see if we're that strong

Yeah let's do something crazy

Something absolutely wrong

While we're waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Nothing left to do

When you know that you've been taken

Nothing left to do

When you're begging for a crumb

Nothing left to do

When you've got to go on waiting

Waiting for the miracle to come

When you've fallen on the highway

And you're lying in the rain

And they ask you how you're doing

Of course you say you can't complain

If you're squeezed for information

That's when you've got to play it dumb

You just say you're out there waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Black Dog by Led Zeppelin

Zeppelin does it is A, but kind of nice to do in E. Im not positive its A major, the melody definitely hits the minor 3rd a lot, but sounds good with major. Nice to do with a Dred Zeppelin vibe.

Melody starts on the tonic. Fun to sing along with the riff, see voice memo note.

Riff 1: starts on the E

Riff 2: starts on the B, then goes to Riff 1

Intro: riff1 - A (fun to sing along with riff)

A

Hey hey mama said the way you move,

Gon' make you sweat, gon' make you groove.

Ha ha child the way you shake that thing,

Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.

Hey hey baby when you walk that way,

Watch your honey drip, can't keep away.

Riff 2 (Starting on the B)

B pattern (or just play A - G whole time, like chorus):

A G A G E (bar7) D A

Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ahh.

A G A G E D A

Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ahh.

I gotta roll, can't stand still,

Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill.

Eyes that shine burning red,

Dreams of you all through my head.

Chorus:

A G A G A G

Ah-ah, ah-ahh ah-ah, ah ahh, ah-ahh ah-ah ahh.

Bridge:

A G A G A G

Hey baby, whoa baby, pretty baby

E (bar7) D A

Darling give it to me now.

Hey baby, oh baby, pretty baby

Move the way you're doing now.

Didn't take too long before I found out,

What people mean by down and out.

Spent my money, took my car

Started telling her friends she gonna be a star.

I don't know, but I been told

Big-legged woman ain't got no soul.

Riff 1 then Riff 2

Bridge:

A G A G E (bar7) D A

Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ahh.

A G A G E D A

Oh yeah, oh yeah, ah, ah, ahh.

All I ask for, all I pray

Steady rolling woman gonna come my way.

Need a woman to hold my hand

Won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Chorus:

Ah-ah, ah-ahh ah-ah, ah ahh, ah-ahh ah-ah ahh.

What Is and What Should Never Be by Led Zeppelin

Nice tutorial for official internet version...

|--9-9----9-11---7-7--7-9------9--|

|--9-11----------7-9---------- 7 -|

|------------------------------0--|

And during chorus, you can play the open A with the riff going down the G string (starts on G 7th fret). But I like the chords, but if someone else is playing the chords, that could sound nice.

And remember, we do post Dred Zeppelin Zeppelin.

A13 = x05670

E9 = 076770 (note that some people say open A string)

Intro: just hit the low E to set the key, then sing the first line.

E9 A13

And if I say to you tomorrow,

take my hand child come with me.

It's to a castle I will take you,

Well what's to be they say will be.

Chorus: (starts on tonic)

[A/F#]way up high in the sky - [D]hey [A]whoa,

But the [A]wind won't blow, you [A/G]really shouldn't go,

it [A/F#]only goes to show [D A],

that [B]you will be [B/A]mine, by [B/G#]taking our time. [E B F# A g-e]

And if you say to me tomorrow,

oh what fun it all would be.

Then what's to stop us pretty baby,

but what is and what should never be.

Chorus:

[A]Catch the wind, see us spin, [A/G]sail-away leave today,

[A/F#]way up high in the sky - [D]hey [A]whoa,

But the [A]wind won't blow, you [A/G]really shouldn't go,

it [A/F#]only goes to show [D A],

that [B]you will be [B/A]mine, by [B/G#]taking our time. [E B F# A]

So if you wake up with the sunrise,

Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way.

Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.

But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way.

For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.

[Pre-chorus]

Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do...

[Chorus]

Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song.

I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way.

I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,

Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Got no time to for spreadin' roots, The time has come to be gone.

And to' our health we drank a thousand times, it's time to Ramble On.

[Chorus]

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air.

T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.

But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah.

[Chorus]

Gonna ramble on, sing my song. Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby...

Gonna work my way, round the world. I can't stop this feelin' in my heart

Gotta keep searchin' for my baby. I can't find my bluebird!

[riff 1]

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for.

[riff 2]

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

[Riff 2a]

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

[Riff 3]

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it makes me wonder.

[Riff 1 or 2, I like 1]

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,

And my spirit is crying for leaving.

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,

And the voices of those who stand looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

[Riff 2]

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,

Then the piper will lead us to reason.

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,

And the forests will echo with laughter.

[Riff 4]

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,

It's just a spring clean for the May queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on.

And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,

The piper's calling you to join him,

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul.

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold.

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last.

When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin

Hey lady--you got the love I need

Maybe more than enough.

Oh Darling... walk a while with me

You've got so much...

Many have I loved - Many times been bitten

Many times I've gazed along the open road.

Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened

Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Many dreams come true and some have silver linings

I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.

Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing

Many many men can't see the open road.

Many is a word that only leaves you guessing

Guessing 'bout a thing you really ought to know, ooh!

You really ought to know...

Ice Cream Man by Van Halen

Originally by John Brim

I think originally in D, with drop D tuning, but sounds good in E too. Play on low 3 strings, blues riff off the A. 12-bar blues.

E A E

Summertimes here, babe, you need something to keep you cool

A E

Ah, summertime's here, and you need something to keep you cool

B7 A E B7

Better look out now though, Ive got somethin' for you

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by

See all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

[can keep it low here like other verses, going high is hard...]

I got bim bam banana pops, dixie cups, all flavors and pushups too

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by

See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

Well I'm usually passin' by just about eleven o'clock

I'm usually passin' by just around eleven o'clock

And if ya' let me cool you one time, you'll be my regular stop

[keep low...]

I got bim bam banana pops, dixie cups, all flavors and pushups too

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by

See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by

They say all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

[Titty through a verse]

[nice to repeat the well im usually passin by verse]

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by

They say all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

[Repeat that last one to taste]

We know of an ancient radiation that

haunts dismembered constellations

G B

A faintly glimmering radio station

(same pattern throughout)

While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather

The flies and spiders get along together

Cobwebs form on an old skipping record

Beyond the suns that guard this roost

Beyond your flowers of flaming truths

Beyond your latest ad campaigns

An old man sits collecting stamps

In a room all filled with Chinese lamps

He saves what others throw away, he says that he'll be rich someday

We know of an ancient radiation that

haunts dismembered constellations

A faintly glimmering radio station

Dont it Make my Brown Eyes Blue by Crystal Gayle

good cover, and another one (capod 6th fret!)

Capoing on the 6th fret makes it super easy to sing... Or see version in Ge below, way easier again.

And interesting how it uses the F/G (3x3211) as a turnaround chord instead of the G7...

B7-5 = x2323x

C/G = 3x2010

D7/F# = 2x021x

F/G = 3x3211

Melody starts on the 5th (G string open)

Intro:

C Am Dm7 G7 C Am Dm7 G7

C Am Dm7 G7

Don't know when I've been so blue

C Am7 Bm7-5 E7

Don't know what's come over you

Am C/G D7/F# D7

You've found someone new

F Em7 F G7

And don't it make my brown eyes blue

C Am Dm7 G7

I'll be fine when you're gone

C Am7 Bm7-5 E7

I'll just cry all night long

Am C/G D7/F# D7

Say it isn't true

F F/G C

And don't it make my brown eyes blue

Am Em7 F C

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies

Am Em7 F C

Give me no reasons, give me alibis

Am Em7 F C

Tell me you love me and don't let me cry

Dm7 Em F F/G

Say anything but don't say goodbye

C Am Dm7 G7

I didn't mean to treat you bad

C Am7 Bm7-5 E7

Didn't know just what I had

Am C/G D7/F# D7

But honey now I do

F Em7 F Em7

And don't it make my brown eyes, don't it make my brown eyes

F F/G C Am Dm7 G7

Don't it make my brown eyes blue.

Repeat the last part to taste. End on the power C9 or C6...

Or in G, way easier to sing:

C/D = xx0010 or better yet xx0013

F#m7-5 = 2x221x (like an Am with F# in bass)

And the F#m should realy be F#m7-5

Intro: G Em Am7 D7

Great for harmonies

D C G D

I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;

F C F C F D

Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.

Lay down last night, Lord I could not take my rest;

My mind was wanderin' like the wild geese in the west.

The sun will shine in my back door someday;

March winds will blow all my troubles away.

I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train;

I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain.

I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;

Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.

So won't you come back and make me happy

I'll forgive dear I'll take all the blame

Nice way to do the main riff is to do the Em on 7th fret, then:

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon

And if there is no room upon the hill

And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

The lunatic is in my head. (laughter)

You raise the blade, you make the change

A7 D Dsus2

You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane.

You lock the door

And throw away the key

A7 D Dsus2 D7

There's someone in my head but it's not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear

Pigs on the Wing by Pink Floyd

G C Csus4 C

If you didn't care

G Gsus4 G

what happened to me

C Csus4 C

And I didn't care

G Gsus4 G

For you.

A (G just lift the A) A (G open)

We would zig-zag our way

A7

Through the boredom and pain.

G C D G

Occasionally glancing up through the rain

Am F Am F C Am7/B Am

Wondering which of the buggers to blame

D Dsus4 D G

And watching for pigs on the wing.

Verse 2:

You know that I care what happens to you,

And I know that you care for me.

So I don't feel alone,

Or the weight of the stone,

Now that I've found somewhere safe

To bury my bone.

And any fool knows a dog needs a home,

A shelter from pigs on the wing.

Dogs by Pink Floyd

To play it for reals, tune down a whole step as shown here. And heres a good youtube tutorial. But this mostly works too. Sounds good bossa nova stylee... Sounds really good down a whole step...

Dm9 = 022032

Csus4 = x33010

Bsus2add11 = xx4420

Bbsus2b11 = xx3310

Dm9 (x53555 or 022032)

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need

Bb (or Csus4 = x33010)

Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street

E7sus4 (or Bsus2add11 = xx4420)

You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed

Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight

Bbmaj7 (or Bbsus2b11 = xx3310)

You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking

And after a while you can work on points of style

Like the club tie and the firm handshake, a certain look in the eye and an easy smile

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to

So that when they turn their backs on you

You'll get the chance to put the knife in

Titty (fun to sing the solo):

Dm9 Bb E7sus4 Bb7

You've gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder

You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older

And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, hide your head in the sand

Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer

[From here down is unconfirmed. The Am9(sus4) are probably really E7sus4.]

Bb Am9(sus4) Bb7 Dm

C Dm C Dm Bb F Eb F Eb Dm Dm9 C7 Dm A F Em

[Half tempo]

Dm C Dm C ... Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb C

[Guitar solo ad lib]

Dm C Dm C Dm C Bb C Bb C Dm A F Em

Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C

And when you lose control you'll reap the harvest you have sown

Dm C Dm C Dm Bb A

And as the fear grows the bad blood slows and turns to stone

Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm

And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around

C Bb C Bb C Dm A

So have a good drown as you go down all alone

F A Dm

Dragged down by the stone

Bb7

Regular verse pattern:

Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused

Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used

Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise

If I don't stand my own ground how can I find my way out of the maze

Deaf, dumb and blind you just keep on pretending

That everyone's expendable and noone has a real friend

And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner

And everything's done under the sun

And you believe at heart everyone's a killer

Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm Bb F E F E Dm

[Half tempo]

F C Dm

Who was born in a house full of pain

C F C Dm

Who was trained not to spit in the fan

Who was told what to do by the man

Who was fitted with collar and chain

Just What I Needed by the Cars

Originally in E, but doing in C (down a 4th) since E is way high for this, like all Cars stuff. See here for E.

Also nice in A. Verses are I - V - vi - III, chorus is I-V-IV-vi

Play with barres, power chord bassy sound. Melody starts on the 5th.

Verse:

C G Am E

I don't mind you coming here wasting all my time

'Cause when you're standing oh so near I kind of lose my mind

It's not the perfume that you wear it's not the ribbons in your hair

C G E F

I don't mind you coming here wasting all my time

Interlude (sounds nice to sing it):

Garden Grove by Sublime

Reggae beat, A - G the whole time. Can sometimes go up to A - G - Bm7 ($5 dollars at the door...)

Transition to Get Up Stand Up.

We took this trip to garden grove

It smelt like lou dog in the van- o yeah

This ain't no funky reggae party $5 at the door

It gets so real sometimes who wrote my rhymes

I got the microwave got the vcr I got the duece duece

In the trunk of my car

If you only knew that all the love that I found

It's hard to keep my soul on the ground

You're a fool don't fuck around with my dog

All that i see I steal I filled up my garage

'cause in my mind music from jamaica

All the love that I found, pull over there's a reason

Why my soul is unsound

It's you it's that shit stuck under my shoe

It's that smell inside the van

It's my bed sheet covered with sand

Sitting through a shitty band

Getting dog shit on my hand

Getting hassled by the man

Waking up to an alarm

Sticking needles in your arm

Picking up trash on the freeway

Feeling depressed every day

Leaving without making a sound

Pickin up my dog at the pound

Livin in a tweeker pad

Getting yelled at by my dad

Saying I'm happy when I'm not

Finding roaches in the pot

All these things I do

They're waiting for you

Get Up Stand Up by Bob Marley

Do with same beat as with Garden Grove. A - G. Actual song uses Bm - F I think.

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Preacher man, don't tell me,

Heaven is over the earth.

I know you don't know

What life is really worth.

It's not all that glitters is gold

Half that story has never been told

So now you see the light

Stand up for your rights (come on!)

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Most people think,

Great god will come from the sky.

Take away everything

And make everybody feel high.

But if you know what life is worth,

You will look for yours on earth:

And now you see the light,

Stand up for your rights.

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

You know were sick and tired of your bullshit game

Die and go to heaven in-a Jesus' name

We know and we understand:

Almighty god is a living man.

You can fool some people sometimes,

But you can't fool all the people all the time.

So now we see the light (what you gonna do?),

We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Waiting in Vain by Bob Marley

Two chords over and over, except bridge. Pretty high, can do in F as well.

Gmaj7 Cmaj7 (x2)

Chorus 1:

Gmaj7 Cmaj7

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.

Verse 1:

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,

My heart says follow through.

But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,

But the waitin' feel is fine.

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,

'Cos I know how to do my thing.

Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb,

I wanna know when you're gonna come. See...

Chorus

Bridge 1:

C D Bm7 Am7

'Cos if summer is here, I'm still waiting there.

C D Bm7 Am7

Winter is here, and I'm still waiting there.

Solo:

(Like I said)...

Verse 3:

It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,

And I still can knock some more.

Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now),

For I to knock some more? Yah see...

In life, I know, there's lots of grief,

But your love is my re-lief.

Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn,

While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See...

Chorus

(It's mylove that you're running from)

Dont Rock My Boat by Bob Marley

Album key is A, which is really nice on guitar, since the A bar goes down to the C#m bar, to the F# bar, to the E. Its high to sing there, but maybe possible.E is here, which is low but easy, and G is below that, which might be nice. And A below that.

Intro: G Bm Am D7 (x2)

Chorus 1:

G Bm7 Am7 D7

Hammer by Bob Marley

The whole song is Ab6 and Bb6. A couple of voicings that sound good:

Ab6: xx6564

Bb6: xx8786

Or:

Ab6: x6656x

Bb6: x8878x

Or of course just play Ab and Bb and forget the 6th.

I like to do it in G (G and F)

Intro: Ab6 Bb6 (x2)

Verse 1:

Ab6 Bb6

They just keep holdin' me; a-won't let go;

Ab6 Bb6

Holdin' me; won't let go.

Chorus 1:

Ab6

I need a hammer, a hammer, a hammer, a hammer,

Bb6

Thinking that he's already made her

Brother Can You Spare a Dime

Words & Music by E.Y. Harburg & Jay Gorney

Recorded by Bing Crosby, 1932

The Dm6 sounds nice as x20201, sounds like a half dim.

Am E7 A7

Once I built a railroad, made it run,

D G7 C E7

Made it race against time;

Dm/F E7 Am F7

Once I build a railroad -- now it's done.

Dm6 (or B half dim) E7 Am

Brother, can you spare a dime?

Am E7 A7

Once I built a tower to the sun,

D G7 C E7

Brick and rivet and lime;

Dm/F E7 Am F7

Once I build a tower -- now it's done.

Dm6 E7 Am

Brother, can you spare a dime?

Bridge:

A7

Once, in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell,

(Gm6) A7

Full of that Yankee Doodle de-dum;

D7

Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell --

Am F7 E7

I was the kid with the drum.

Am E7 A7

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al?

D G7 C E7

It was Al all the time.

Dm/F E7 Am F7

Why don't you remember? I'm your pal.

Dm6 E7 (E7+5) Am

Say buddy can you spare a dime?

On a Foggy Night by Tom Waits

Really hard to sing while playing, but really fun to play for someone else singing.

Bm13 = x2x234

A7b13 = 5x566x

Same progression throughout:

Bm13 Bass:E0-E1-E2 F#7b13 A7b13 Ab7b13 G7b13 (or just G7 jazz) F#7b13

It was upon a foggy night, an abandoned road

In a twilight mirror mirage

With no indication

Of any kind of service station

Or an all night garage, I was misinformed

I was misdirected 'cause the interchange

Never intersected leaving me marooned

Beneath a bloodshot moon

All upon a foggy night, foggy night

All upon a foggy night, it's kind of an abandoned road

Blurred brocade collage

Is that a road motel? I can't really tell

You got to tell me is that a vacancy lodge

There's no consolation

What kind of situation

To be aimlessly skewed

Amidst a powder blue? No tell tail light clue

[Incomprehensible] is like a spell you spin

This precarious pandemonium

[Incomprehensible] I'm stranded, all upon a foggy night

Like a sweet thick [Incomprehensible] or a Broadway arcade

Heads you win, tails I loose and ramblin' and gamblin'

All upon a foggy night, foggy night

Foggy night, foggy night

You got to fight [Incomprehensible] on my personality

All upon a foggy night, all upon a foggy night

All upon a foggy night, on a foggy night

All upon a foggy, all upon a foggy night

You have termites in your smile

Verse #5:

Mangled-up and tangled-up knots

Moondance by Van Morrison

Nice to do it spooky style, with that Gm6 - Am6 - Bb6 riff I like... Original uses Am7 - Bm7 - C

Gm6 Am6 Bb6 Am6

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance

With the stars up above in your eyes

A fantabulous night to make romance

'Neath the cover of October skies

And all the leaves on the trees are fallin'

To the sound of the breezes that blow

And I'm trying to please to the callin'

Of your heart strings that play soft and low

Cm6 Gm6 Cm6 Gm6

And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush

Cm6 Gm6 Am6 D7

And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Gm6 Am6 Bb6 Am6 Gm6 (Can do the F# variation)

Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?

D7+5

Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight

I can't wait 'til the morning has come

And I know now the time is just right

And straight in to my arms you will run

And when you come, my heart will be waiting

To make sure that you're never alone

There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear

There and then, I will make you my own

And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside

And I know how much you want me that you can't hide

Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?

Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance

With the stars up above in your eyes

A fantabulous night to make romance

'Neath the cover of October skies

And all the leaves on the trees are falling

To the sound of the breezes that blow

And I'm trying to please to the calling

Of your heart strings that play soft and low

And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush

And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?

Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?

One more moon dance with you

In the moon light, on a magic night

All the moon light, on a magic night

Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?

B G

I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess you could say she was a sex fiend

E B F#

I met her in a hotel lobby, masturbating with a magazine

G

She said how'd you like to waste some time,

F#

and I couldn't resist when I saw little Nikki grind

Fill power barre chord riff: BBBDB BBBDB D EDC# (x2)

B G

She took me to her castle And I just couldn't believe my eyes

E B F#

She had so many devices Everything that money could buy

G

She said sign your name on the dotted line

F#

The lights went out, and Nikki started to grind

B G

The castle started spinning or maybe it was my brain

E

I can't tell you what she did to me

B F#

but my body will never be the same

G

Her lovin' will kick your behind

F#

Just to show you no mercy

B G

Woke up the next morning Nikki wasn't there

E B F#

I looked all over and all I found was a phone number on the stairs

G

It said thank you for a funky time

F#

Call me up whenever you want to grind

When Doves Cry by Prince

Sounds nice with just the Am - G the whole song. I think technically theres an Em in there (see 2nd line), but I think it takes away from the nice minimal sound.

Am G

Dig if u will a picture

Am

Of u and I engaged in a kiss

G

The sweat of your body covers me

(Em?)

Can u my darling

(G? or E?) Am

Can u picture this?

Dream if u can a courtyard

An ocean of violets in bloom

Animals strike curious poses

They feel the heat

(E major?)

The heat between me and you

Chorus:

How can u just leave me standing?

Alone in a world that's so cold?

Maybe Im just 2 demanding

Em G

Maybe Im just like my father too bold

Am G

Maybe you're just like my mother

Shes never satisfied

Why do we scream at each other

This is what it sounds like

When doves cry

[Chords during solo, according to the shnitz: Am F G Am

I dont think thats right though, I like Dm - DmSus2 (xx0230) G]

Little Red Corvette by Prince

Nice to use the GbMaj7...

Intro:

Gb Ab Bbm Bbm7 Gbmaj7 x2

Gb

I guess I should have known

Ab Bbm

by the way you parked your car sideways

Bbm7 Gbmaj7 Gb

That it wouldn't last. See you're the kinda person

Ab

That believes in makin' out once

Bbm Bbm7 Gbmaj7

love 'em and leave 'em fast.

Gb Ab

I guess I must be dumb 'cause you had a pocket full of horses

Bbm Bbm7 Gbmaj7

Trojan and some of them used

Gb

but it was Saturday night

Ab

I guess that makes it all right

Bbm Bbm7 Ab

and you say what have I got to lose".

And honey I say:

Gb Ab Db

Little red corvette

Gb Ab Bbm7

baby you're much too fast.

Gb Ab Db

Little red corvette

Gb Ab Absus Ab

you need a love that's gonna last.

Verse 2:

Guess I should have closed my eyes

when you drove me to the place

Where your horses run free

'cause I felt a little ill

When I saw all the pictures of the jockeys

that were there before me.

Believe it or not, I started to worry,

wondering if I had enough class.

But it was Saturday Night,

I guess that makes it alright.

And you said, Baby, have you got enough gas? Oh yeah!

Chorus

Bridge:

Bbm7

A body like yours ought to be in jail

Gb

'Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene.

Move over baby

Ab

give me the keys.

Bbm7 Ab

I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine.

Chorus

Money Dont Matter Tonight by Prince

The version I found has these goofy 9th chords. Super unconfirmed. Playing with regular Cm7, Dbmaj7 and Ebm7 is probably right.

As far as melody, starts on the 5th in the verses, starts on the 7th in the chorus.

CHORDS USED

Cm9 x 3 5 5 3 3

Dbmaj9 x 4 6 5 4 4

Ebm7 x 6 8 6 7 6

VERSE 1 (same pattern throughout song)

Cm7 (Cm9) Dbmaj7 (Dbmaj9)

One more card and it's 22

Ebm7 Dbmaj7 (Dbmaj9)

Unlucky 4 him again

Cm9 Dbmaj9

He never had respect 4 money it's true

Ebm7 Dbmaj9

That's why he never wins

Cm9 Dbmaj9 Ebm7 Dbmaj9

That's why he never ever has enough 2 treat his lady right

Cm7 Dbmaj9

He just pushes her away in a huff

Ebm7 Dbmaj9

And says Money don't matter 2night

Chorus:

Money don't matter 2night

It sure didn't matter yesterday

Just when U think U've got more than enough

That's when it all up and flies away

That's when U find out that U're better off

Makin' sure your soul's alright

Cuz money didn't matter yesterday

And it sure don't matter 2night

Look, here's a cool investment

They're tellin' him he just can't lose

So he goes off and tries to find a partner

But all he finds are users

All he finds are snakes of every color

Every nationality and size

Seems like the only thing he can do

Is just roll his eyes, and say....

Chorus

[titty kazoo]

(youll need a lot of breath here...)

Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason

To send a child off to war

So what if we're controlling all the oil?

Is it worth a child dying for?

If long life is what we all live for

Then long life will come to pass

Anything is better than the picture of the child

In a cloud of gas... and you think you got it bad

Chorus, repeat

My boss was Mr. McGee.

G D/F#

He told me several times that he didn't like my kind,

G D G A

'Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely.

G D/F#

Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing,

G D G A

But different than the day before.

G D/F#

That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her

G D/F#

Raspberry beret

E A

I think I love her

A G D/F#

Built like she was, uh, she had the nerve 2 ask me

G D G A

If I planned 2 do her any harm

G D/F#

So, look here, I put her on the back of my bike and-a we went riding

G D G A

Down by old man Johnson's farm

G D/F#

I said now, overcast days never turned me on

G D G A

But something about the clouds and her mixed

G D/F#

She wasn't 2 bright but I could tell

When she kissed me

She knew how 2 get her kicks

Starfish and Coffee by Prince

A Bm E A

It was 7:45, we were all in line 2 greet the teacher Miss Kathleen

F#m Bm E A

First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me

A Bm E A

All of us were ordinary compared 2 Cynthia Rose

F#m Bm E A

She always stood at the back of the line, a smile beneath her nose

A Bm E A

Her favorite number was 20 and every single day

F#m Bm E A

If U asked her what she had 4 breakfast, this is what she'd say

A Bm E A

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

F#m Bm E A

Butterscotch clouds and a tangerine, a side order of ham

F#m Bm E A

If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand

A Bm E A

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

Cynthia wore the prettiest dress but different color socks

Sometimes I wondered if the mates were in her lunchbox (Oh ooh oh)

Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn't around (Oh ooh oh)

Lucy cried, I almost died, U know what we found

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine and a side order of ham

If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

Starfish and coffee

Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she draws

On every wall, in every school, but it's alright, it's 4 a worthy cause

Go on, Cynthia!

Keep sayin':

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine and a side order of ham

If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

Can also do the bass riff on low E: 8 - 11~12

In France, a skinny man

Died of a big disease with a little name

By chance, his girlfriend came across a needle

And soon she did the same

At home there are seventeen year old boys

And their idea of fun

Is being in a gang called 'The Disciples'

High on crack, toting a machine gun

Time, times

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling off a church

And killed everyone inside

You turn on the telly and every other story

Is telling you somebody died

A sister killed her baby

'Cuz she couldn't afford to feed it,

and we're sending people to the moon

In September, my cousin tried reefer

For the very first time

Now he's doing horse, it's June

Times, times

Bridge:

Is it silly no, when a rocket ship explodes

And everyone still wants to fly?

Some say that man ain't happy, unless a man truly dies

Gm7

Baby, make a speech, Star Wars fly

Neighbors just shine it on

But if a night falls and a bomb falls

Will anybody see the dawn?

7 by Prince

A7sus2: x02203 or x02200 (thoroughly optional)

CHORUS:

A

All 7 and we'll watch them fall

They stand in the way of love and we will smoke them all

G A

With an intellect and a savoir-faire

No one in the whole universe will ever compare

E

I am yours now and U are mine

And 2gether we'll love through all space and time

So don't cry

A

One day all 7 will die

A (A7sus2) A (A7sus2)

And I saw an angel come down unto me

A (A7sus2) A (A7sus2)

And in her hand she holds the very key

G

Words of compassion, words of peace

A (A7sus2) A (A7sus2)

And in the distance an army's marching feet

E7 A (A7sus2)

But behold, we will watch them fall

And we lay down on the sand of the sea

And before us animosity will stand and decree

That we speak not of love only blasphemy

And in the distance, 6 others will curse me

But that's alright, (that's alright)

4 I will watch them fall(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

CHORUS

And we will see a plague and a river of blood

And every evil soul will surely die in spite of

Their 7 tears, but do not fear

4 in the distance, 12 souls from now

U and me will still be here - we will still be here

There will be a new city with streets of gold

The young so educated they never grow old

And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath

The voice of many colors sings a song

That's so bold

Sing it while we watch them fall

Mamas Dont Let Your Babies by Waylon Jennings

Verse 1:

D G

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold

A D

They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold

G

Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each night begins a new day

A

If you don't understand him and he don't die young

D

He'll probably just ride away

Chorus:

D G

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

A

Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks

D

Make them be doctors and lawyers and such

G

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

A

They'll never stay home and they're always alone

D

Even with someone they love

Verse 2: (A tone higher)

E A

Cowboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountain mornings

B E

Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night

Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do

A

sometimes won't know how to take him

B

He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him

E

Do the things that make you think he's right

Chorus:

E A

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

B

Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks

E

Make them be doctors and lawyers and such

A

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

B

They'll never stay home and they're always alone

watching everything the engineer would do.

One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat,

He left the monkey sitting in the driver's seat,

The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun,

did 90 miles an hour down the main line run.

Chorus:

Big locomotive is right on time,

Big locomotive coming down the line,

Big locomotive Number 99,

left the engineer with a worried mind.

The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone,

told him all about his locomotive was gone,

get on the wire, switch operator to right,

cause' the monkeys got the main line sewn up tight.

(The) switch operator got the message in time,

Said there's a north bound limit on the same main line,

Open up the switch, were gonna let him through the hole,

cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control.

The Race is On by the Grateful Dead

Hard to sing, lots of range, but can be fun.

G

I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,

C G

Like my heart's got a big break

And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful

A D

That I may never shake.

G

You might think that I'm taking it hard

C G

Since you broke me off with a call,

You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow

D G

And I might lay right down and bawl.

Chorus

G

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch,

C

Heartaches a goin' to the inside,

G

My tears are holding back,

A D

Tryin' not to fall.

G

My heart's out of the running,

C G

True love scratched for another's sake,

The race is on and it looks like heartaches,

D G

Where the winner loses all.

[titty time]

G

One day I ventured in love never once suspecting

C G

What the final result would be.

Now I live in fear of waking up each morning,

A D

And finding that you're gone from me.

G

There's an aching pain in my heart for the name

C

Of the one that I hated to face,

G

Someone else came out to win her,

D G

And I came out in second place.

[chorus]

Ending:

G

The race is on and it looks like heartaches,

D G G - C - D - Gbeatles

Where the winner loses all.

When you go down to Deep Elem, have a little fun

Have that ten dollars ready when the police man comes

Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through

Went down to Deep Elem now his preaching days are through

When you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your pants

The women in Deep Elem they don't give a man a chance

When you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your socks

The redheads in Deep Elem, they'll put you on the rocks

Close the gap of the dark years in between

You and me, cassidy.

Love Shack by B-52s

Verse patterns are C - Gm, with a beat. See voice memo note. Nice to play the C as a C6 (x35555)

Chorus is C7 - Eb - F - Ab - Bb. Note that the chorus melody starts on the 7th (Bb), so nice to use the C7

Dont forget that bass line off the G

C is actually really low. Nice in E (E - Bm)

Verse 1:

(If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says

15 miles to the, Love Shack! Love Shack yeah)

I'm headin' down the Bodega highway, lookin' for the weekend getaway

Heading for the crab shack,

I got me a camper, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down

[I got me a boat, it's as big as a whaler and we're headin' on down]

To the Crab Shack

I got me a Chinook, it seats about 20

So come on and bring your bait shack money

Chorus:

C7 Eb F Ab Bb

The Crab Shack is a little old place where we can get together

C Gm C Gm

Crab Shack baby, Crab Shack bay-bee.

Love baby, that's where it's at, Oh love baby, that's where it's at

Sign says, Woo, stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!

Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,

Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back

Glitter on the mattress

Glitter on the highway

Glitter on the front porch

Glitter on the hallway

The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together

Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that's where it's at!

Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing

Cause it's hot as an oven

The whole shack shimmies! The whole shack shimmies when everybody's

Movin' around and around and around!

Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!

Folks linin' up outside just to get down

Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby

Funky little shack! Funky little shack!

Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!

I got me a car, it seats about 20

So come on up and bring your jukebox money.

Bang bang bang on the door baby! Knock a little louder baby!

Bang bang bang on the door baby! I can't hear you

Your what? Tin roof, rusted!

Love Shack, baby Love Shack!

Love baby, that's where it's at

Black Coffee by Squeeze

I think album key is D, but this is way easier to sing. This is actually kind of low, so can capo it up?

Main riff:

-----------------------|

-----0--0----------0-0-|

Verse 1:

There's a

A F#m |D A |

stain on my notebook where your coffee cup was. And there's

A F#m |D A |

ash in the pages, now I've got myself lost. I was

A F#m |D A |

writing to tell you that my feelings tonight, are a

A F#m |D A |

stain on my notebook that rings your goodbye. Oh but...

Chorus 1:

F#m |F#m |C# |C# |

Now she's gone, (*) and I'm back on my feet. A

G#m |G#m |E |E |

stain on my note-book says nothing to me. Oh-ho, but..

Now she's gone, (*) and I'm out with a friend (out with a...

E |E |

friend). With lips full of passion

D |D |A

....(oooh).. and coffee ... in .. bed.

Verse 2:

A F#m D A

With the way that you left me I could hardly contain

Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed

A F#m D A

Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed

Mad World by Tears for Fears

This is the Gary Jules key. Tears for Fears do it in F#. Actually probably better to do it in F#...

I think the Gary Jules riff is:

|-1-1-0-------------------------|

|------3-1 0-------------------|

|------------------------------|

Which means were left with that that D note, which means an Fm6 works well instead of the Fm... (Note that I think the D is usually supported by the Bb, but the Fm6 is a nice crazy replacememtn)

Verses: Fm Ab Eb Bb

Chorus: Fm Bb

For intro, can hit that Fm6 hard...

Verse 1:

Fm (or Fm6...) Ab

All around me are familiar faces.

Eb Bb

Worn out places. Worn out faces.

Fm Ab

Bright and early for their daily races.

Eb Bb

Going nowhere. Going nowhere.

Fm Ab

And their tears are filling up their glasses.

Eb Bb

No expression. No expression.

Fm Ab

Hide my head; I want to drown my sorrow.

Eb Bb

No tomorrow. No tomorrow.

Chorus:

Fm Bb

And I find it kinda funny.

Fm

I find it kinda sad.

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had.

I find it hard to tell you

Cuz I find it hard to take.

When people run in circles it's a very, very

Fm (Ab) Bb

Mad world.

(x4)

Verse 2:

Children waiting for the day they feel good.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday.

Made to feel the way that every child should.

Sit and listen. Sit and listen.

Went to school and I was very nervous.

No one knew me. No one knew me.

Hello, teacher tell me what's my lesson?

Look right through me. Look right through me.

Chorus

Fm (Ab) Bb

Mad world.

Good ending chord: Fm6...

Thats Amore by Dean Martin

Written by Harry Warren in 1952.

In 3/4 time. Can play in any key since its all moveable shapes, and sounds great in Bb too. And fun to modulate, any of the E7s with the asterix can be used to go up a half step (so play F7, etc.). Especially at the end of the song.

Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool

That's amore

Bm7 E7 Bm7 E7

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

C#7b5 F#7 C#7b5 F#7

You're in love

When you walk (down in) a dream but you know you're not

Mambo Italiano by Dean Martin

Dean doing it (C#m), and nice cover (Cm). I think it sounds better in Dm.

Rosemary sometimes does it with verses as Dm - G7, but I think the i - iv7 sounds better.

Riff = Dm DmMaj7 Dm7 Dm6, either on 10th fret like Stairway to Heaven, or 5th fret like Michell.

On the corner at Tony's stand.

And inwardly swore.

Then he began to shout:

Verse 1

Chorus

Minnie the Moocher by Cab Calloway

Fun to do an intro-ish thing with Em to 075570 or 875570 (so its Em - C7)

Em

Folks, now here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,

C7 B7 Em

She was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher,

She was the roughest, toughest frail,

C7 B7 Em

But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

CHORUS:

Em

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!)

Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho! (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!)

He-de-he-de-he-de-he! (He-de-he-de-he-de-he!)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho!)

She messed around with a bloke named Smoky,

She loved him though he was cokie,

He took her down to Chinatown,

And he showed her how to kick the gong around.

She had a dream about the King of Sweden,

He gave her things that she was needin',

He gave her a home built of gold and steel,

A diamond car with a platinum wheel.

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses;

She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,

She sat around and counted them all a million times.

Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar

Life is around you and in you

I know will be alright

Perhaps it's just imagination

Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

D D/C#

Alone between the sheets

Only brings exasperation

It's time to walk the streets

Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights

And though there's little variation

It nullifies the night

From overkill

New lyrics:

Home, home on the bay
Where the elk and the harbor seals play
Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word,
and the skies may be foggy all day

Home, home at the shack
Where you eat, play music and slack
Take Zuma to sea
and hope there will be
Enough wind to blow your ass back!

Home, home at the shack
Where the tides either rage or are slack
We'll save some poor bloke
With the mighty shrimp boat
And hope the favors returned back.

Home, home on the bay
Where the cod and the halibut play
Where we change Ethan's luck
By him catching a duck
But for Razz, well he'll just have to wait

Home home at the Marriott
Where the nightlife is always hot
The dinner bell's ringin'
Then the Calypso band's swingin'
Their coconut bottoms and tops

Seawall living is great for your health
A life of real friends and true wealth
But to feel like a King
In the hot spring
You have to dig it yourself!

Where winds up! is heard, those are sailing words,
Ill see the Coast Guard a bit later today.

When surfs up! is heard, those are encouraging words,

Play in the mouth

Jesse Stone version, Louis Jordan version

Every verse has the same pattern, except the bridge.I also really like doing it in A.

Bb Eb

Down in Arkansas, they serve you coleslaw

Bb F

Chopped up finer than a bale of straw

When you crunch and gnaw, a bunch of coleslaw

Keep chew-chewin like a cross cut saw

Exercise you jaw, by eatin coleslaw

Best ol goodness that you ever saw

You can break no law, by wantin coleslaw

It ain't nothin but some cabbage raw

Bridge:

[A] It can't be beat, just the simplest of a treat

Its fine with meat, or with anything you eat

Your [F (or B)] chops flip flop, you'll enjoying every drop

Your teeth go bop, [F7] you'll never stop

Yes in Arkansas, they serve you coleslaw

That's good strategy without a flaw

It's a cinch to draw, a plate of coleslaw

It ain't nothin but some cabbage raw

People ask me when will you grow up to be a man

but that was bloody yesterday

Is It wrong to wish on space hardware?

I wish I wish I wish you'd care

The Time Warp

Album is Bb.

A B7

It's astounding, time is fleeting

G D A B7

madness takes its toll. But listen closely, not for very much longer

G D A

I've got to keep control.

B G D A

I remember doing the Time Warp, drinking those moments when

B

the blackness would hit me, and the void would be calling...

Chorus:

F C G D A

Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2)

E A

It's just a jump to the left and then a step to the right

E A

With your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight

D A

But it's the pelvic thrust, that really drives you insane

F C G D A

Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2)

A B G D A

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me! So you can't see me, no not at all.

B

In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention,

G D A

Well secluded, I'll see all.

B

With a bit of a mind flip, you're into the time slip

G D A

Nothing can ever be the same

B

You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation!

F C G D A

Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2)

Well I was tapping down the street just-a having a think

A7 D

When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink, well it shook me up,

A

it took me by surprise, he had a pick-up truck and the devil's eyes,

E D A

He stared at me and I felt a change, Time meant nothing never would again.

[Chorus]

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head by Burt Bacharach

Sleepin' on the job, Those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'

Bridge:

But there's one thing I know,

the blues they send to meet me, won't defeat me

A7 Dm7 G7

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

C Cmaj7

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,

but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,

A7 Em7 A7 Dm7 G7

Cryin's not for me, cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

Singing in the Rain by Gene Kelley

Gene Kelley did it in F#. Nice to get all barrelly on the singing style.

Can do an intro as:

Do pee do doo bee do, etc.

Gmaj7 G6 / Am7 D7

G Em7 Am7 D

I'm singin' in the rain

Just singin' in the rain

What a glorious feelin'

Am7 D7

I'm happy again

Am7 D7 Am7 D7

I'm laughin' at clouds, so dark up above

Am7 D7 G D

The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love

G Em7 Am7 D

Let the stormy clouds chase

Everyone from the place

Come on with the rain

Am7 D7

I've a smile on my face

Am7 D7 Am7 D7

I walk down the lane with a happy refrain

Am7 D7 G

Just dancinin' and singin' in the rain

I was cutting the rug down at a place called The Jug

A

with a girl named Linda Lou

D

When in walked a man with a gun in his hand

E A

he was looking for you know who.

D

He said "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow,

G (walk down to E) E

watcha tryin' to proove?

D

Cuz' thatsa' my woman there and I'm a man who cares

A D

and this might be all for you" (I said "excuse me!")

D

I was scared and fearing for my life

A

shaking like a leaf on a tree

D

Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord,

E A

pointing that gun at me

D

I said "wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her,

G E

don't want no trouble with you

D

and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me

A D

ask one favour from you:

Chorus:

D

Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister,

A

gimme 3 steps toward the door?

D

Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister

A D

and you'll never see me no more."

D

well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray

A

and the water fell down to the floor

D

and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun,

E A

staring straight down a fourty-four.

D

Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou,

G E

and that's the break I was looking for

D

and you could hear me screaming a mile away

A D

as I was headed out toward the door.

Saint Stephen with a rose,

A E

In and out of the garden he goes,

E D

Country garland in the wind and the rain,

A

Wherever he goes the people all complain.

Did Stephen prospered in his time?

Well he may and he may decline.

Did it matter, does it now?

A B

Stephen would answer if he only knew how.

[Riff 1]

Wishing well with a golden bell,

Bucket hanging clear to hell,

Hell halfway twixt now and then,

Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again.

Answers aplenty in the bye and bye,

Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills,

One man gathers what another man spills.

Saint Stephen will remain,

All he's lost he shall regain,

Seashore washed by the suds and foam,

Been here so long, he's got to calling it home.

Fortune comes a crawlin', calliope woman,

Spinnin' that curious sense of your own.

Can you answer? Yes I can.

But what would be the answer to the answer man?

Dim All the Lights by Donna Summer

She originally wrote it for Rod Stewart! Nice version here. Sounds good with all barres. Can conceivably play the D/C# as an F#m, but that loses a lot of flavor. Lots of bass movement here.

D D/C# (x4777x) C G

Dim all the lights, sweet darling, cause tonight is on its way,

D D/C# C G

turn up the old Victrola, gonna dance the night away.

C Bm C Bm

Love just don't come easy, no it seldom does,

A/C# D A/C# C

when you find the perfect love, let it fill you up.

/ C / C/B (x20010) / Bb / Asus (or A11) / A7

Hey baby...

[repeat first verse]

D D/C# C G

Dim all the lights, sweet darlin, cause tonight it's you and me,

D D/C# C G

no need to worry, sugar, cause it's for eternity.

Bridge1:

C C/B (x2555x) Bb F

Let yourself go freely of this I think you'll understand.

C C/B (x2555x) Bb F

I want to be your woman, if you'll be my man.

C C/B (x2555x) Bb F

Let yourself go freely and I'll show you things that you've dreamed of,

C G Bb F

don't think that youre dreaming, we've found the perfect love.

A11 (5x5433) A7

and I'm like a cup, so fill me up.

Bridge2:

D F

Do what you want, you can use me all up,

G D

take me bottom to top, don't leave even one drop!

D F

Do it tonight, you know the moments so right,

G D

turn my brown body white, come on, dim all the lights.

Stand by Me by Ben E. King

Nice to do it slow and mellow, like the voice note. Ben did it in A, but I like it in E and sparse, like voice memo.

Melody starts on the 3rd. [3rd] When [5th] the [6th] night

Whole song is I - vi - IV - V. I like it in E. Play the E as 076xxx, sounds nice.

E C#m

When the night has come, and the land is dark

A B E

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No I won't be afraid, oh I wont be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon, should tumble and fall

All the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Chorus]

[Chorus variation to end:]

So darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me

Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand

Stand by me

[Repeat to taste]

Immigrant Song

Nice to do slow and unzeppeliny, like Dread Zeppelin (alternate version), though not necessarily with the reggae beat. Can hear riff here.

Riff: F#m

Ah [C], ah [C#],

E

We come from the land of the ice and snow,

F#m

From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.

The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,

E F#m

To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

A B C

On we sweep with threshing oar, our only goal will be the western shore.

F#m (riff)

Ah, ah,

E

We come from the land of the ice and snow,

F#m

From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,

E

Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

A B C

On we sweep with threshing oar, our only goal will be the western shore.

[optional:]

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,

For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.

I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do

I got my hoodoo ashes all around your bed

Got my black snake roots underneath your head

I got my Mojo working...

I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice

I got some red-hot tips I have to keep on ice

I got my rabbit foot, I know it's workin right

I got this strand of hair I'll keep day and night

Red Solo Cup by Toby Keith

Country party time! Original version, and a great cover

Verse 1:

A

Now, red solo cup is the best receptical

For barbecues, tailgates, fairs, and festivals

Bm7

And you, sir, do not have a pair of testicals

E A

If you prefer drinkin' from glass

A

Hey, red solo cup is cheap and disposable

And in fourteen years, they are decomposable

Bm7

And unlike my home, they are not foreclosable

E A

Freddy Mac can kiss my ass [Whoo!]

Chorus:

A

Red solo cup, I fill you up

Bm7 E

Let's have a party, lets have a party

A

I love you, red solo cup, I lift you up

Bm7 E

Proceed to party, proceed to party

Verse 2:

Now, I really love that you're easy to stack

But I really hate how you're easy to crack

'Cause when beer runs down the front of my back

Well, that, my friends, is quite yucky

But I have to admit that the ladies get smitten

Admirin' at how sharply my first name is written

On you with a Sharpie when I get to hittin'

on them to help me get lucky

[Chorus]

Verse 3:

Now, I've seen you in blue and I've seen you in yellow

But only you, red, will do for this fellow

'Cause you are the Abbot to my Costello

And you are the Fruit to my Loom

Hey red solo cup, you're more than just plastic

You're more than amazing, you're more than fantastic

And believe me that Im not the least bit sarcastic

When I look at you and say

Chorus, modulate up a step:

B

Red solo cup, I fill you up

C#m7 F#

Let's have a party, lets have a party

B

I love you, red solo cup, I lift you up

C#m7 F#

Proceed to party, proceed to party

Down on the Corner by Creedence Clearwater

Album is C I think, but I like it in A. Its the loweset key that the riff still works, too.

A E A

Early in the evenin' just about supper time

Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up

Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

[Chorus]

D A E A

Down on the corner, out in the street

D A

Willy and the Poorboys are playin'

E A

Bring a nickel; tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile

Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while

Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo

Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo. Down on the corner...

You don't need a penny just to hang around

But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?

Over on the corner there's a happy noise

People come from all around to watch the magic boy

Kiss Off by the Violent Femmes

Great recent live version, and the original

Starting note is low B (A string 2nd fret)

Intro and verse pattern is an Em with a E3 - E0 riff. Can play just as E5. Good example here.

Em

I need someone, a person to talk to, someone who'd care to love

C/G Em

Could it be you, could it be you

Situation gets rough, then I start to panic

It's not enough, it's just a habit

C Em

Hey kid you're sick, darling this is it

[Chorus (satrting note D2)]

C D C

You can all just kiss off into the air

Behind my back I can see them stare

They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind

They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time (yeah yeah) [sing G0 note]

Yeah they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)

They do it all the time (do it all the time)

They do it all the time, do it all the tiiiiiiiime

[Verse 2 (starting note open G string)]

Em

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record

C

Oh yeah, well don't get so distressed

Em

Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed

[jam off Em. Fun to move the Em up to 4th fret then to 7th. Or A string jam.]

[Bridge]

Em

I take one, one, one 'cause you left me

And two, two, two for my family

And three, three, three for my heartache

And four, four, four for my headaches

And five [note D2], five, five for my lonely

And six, six, six for my sorrow

And seven, seven [note open B] for n'n'no tomorrow

And eight, eight, I forget what 8 was for

but nine, nine, nine for a lost god

Ten, ten [note D2], ten, ten, for everything everything everything everything

Album key is F, which is great, especially on uke. They sometimes do it live in G.

F Bb C Bb [fill]

Some people call me the space cowboy [yeah]

Some call me the gangster of love

Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time

Fly Like an Eagle by Steve Miller Band

Great tutorial here and another super R&B style one here, nice cover here

During strum pattern 1, can play the A5 as 577xxx and the G5 as 377xxx, with two finger barre. Sounds nice and percussive that way.

And can play the Dm7 as x00565. And for the chorus, can do the D with an A bass.

For strum pattern 1, can do a xx777x - xx555x riff after the second tick.

Great alternative way to play the chorus, maybe use an ending?

Am7

|-5---------5----5--------5-----|

|-7---------9----8--------7-----|

|-5---------5----5--------5-----|

Fly like an eagle, to the sea.

Intro riff (can play verse pattern behind it)

Fly right through the revolution.

I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor

Great chords. Pure 1978 goodness.

Can do as barres (Am on 5th fret, etc). Also for the Cake version feel dont have to do the maj7s.

Verse 1:

Am Dm

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,

G Cmaj7

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.

Fmaj7 Bm7b5 (x2323x)

But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,

Esus4 E

And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.

Am Dm

But now you're back, from outer space,

G Cmaj7

I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.

Fmaj7

I should have changed that stupid lock,

Bm7b5

I should have made you leave your key,

Esus4 E

If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.

[Chorus]:

Am Dm

Go on now, go; walk out the door;

G Cmaj7

Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.

Fmaj7 Bm7b5

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

Esus4 E

Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?

Am Dm

Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,

G Cmaj7

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.

Fmaj7 Bm7b5

I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,

Esus4 E (Am)

And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive...

[Titty Kazoo Time! Nice to do as barres (Am 5thfret, etc)]

Am Dm G Cmaj7, Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Esus4 E

Verse 2:

Am Dm

Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart,

G Cmaj7

Though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.

Fmaj7 Bm7b5

And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,

Esus4 E7

I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.

Am Dm

And you see me; somebody new,

G Cmaj7

I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.

Fmaj7 Bm7b5

And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free,

Esus4 E

Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for some-one who's loving me.

[Chorus]:

Am Dm

Go on now, go; walk out the door;

G Cmaj7

Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.

Fmaj7 Bm7b5

Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?

Esus4 E

Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?

Am Dm

Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,

G Cmaj7

And as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.

Fmaj7 Bm7b5

I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,

Esus4 E (Am)

And I will survive, I-I-I will sur-vive.

Break:

Am, Dm

[Chorus]:

Am Dm

Go on now, go; walk out the door;

G Cmaj7

Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.

Fmaj7 Bm7b5

Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?

Esus4 E

Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?

Am Dm

No no, not I; I will sur-vive,

G Cmaj7

And as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.

Fmaj7 Bm7b5

I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,

Esus4 E (Am)

And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive...

Interlude:

Am Dm G Cmaj7, Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Esus4 E

[repeat verse 2]

[chorus]

Another way of writing it:

Am / Dm / G / Cmaj7 / Fmaj7 / Bm7b5 / Esus4 / E

Verse 1:

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.

But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,

And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.

But now you're back, from outer space,

I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.

I should have changed my fucking lock,

I would have made you leave your key,

If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.

[Chorus]:

Go on now, go; walk out the door;

Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I; I will survive,

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.

I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,

And I'll survive, I will survive, I will survive...

[interlude, one verse]

Verse 2:

Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart,

Though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.

And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,

I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.

And you see me; somebody new,

I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.

And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free,

Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for someone who's loving me.

Feelin' Alright by Traffic

I like to play it with A7(5th fret) to D7 (C7 shape), but Joe Cocker and Traffic played it in C. See voice memo for a good beat and style of doing it.

Seems I've got to have a change of scene

Cause every night I have the strangest dream

Imprisoned by the way it couldn't be

Left here on my own or so it seems

I've got to leave before I start to scream

But someone's locked the door and took the key

Chorus:

Ya feelin' alright?

I'm not feelin' too good myself

Well, ya feelin' Alright?

I'm not feelin' too good myself

Well boy you sure took me for one big ride

And even now I sit and wonder why

That when I think of you I start to cry

I just can't waste my time I must keep dry

Got to stop believin' in all your lies

Cause there's too much to do before I die

[Chorus]

Don't get too lost in all I say

Like the time I really felt that way

But that was then and now it's today

Can't get off yet and so I'm here to stay

Till' someone comes along and takes my place

With a different name, yes, and a different face

[Chorus]

Whatd I Say by Ray Charles

Original version, and Lighting Hopkins

That riff, in E. One cycle per para.

Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong

Come and love your daddy all night long

All right now, hey hey, all right

See the girl with the diamond ring

She knows how to shake that thing

All right now hey hey, hey hey

Tell your mama, tell your pa

I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas

Oh yes ma'm, you don't do right, don't do right

When you see me in misery

Come on baby, see about me

Now yeah, all right, all right, aw play it, boy

See the girl with the red dress on

She can do the Birdland all night long

Tell me what'd I say

Tell me what'd I say right now

I want to know

I want to know right now

You make me feel so good now

You make me feel so good now yeah

Only love can bring the rain that makes you yearn to the sky

Only love can bring the rain that falls like tears from on high

[repeat chorus]

Bridge (see that video, aroun d8 minute mark)

Love....

Crazy by Gnarles Barkeley

Em G

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind

C

There was something so pleasant about that phase.

Even your emotions had an echo

Bsus B

In so much space

Em

And when you're out there, without care,

G

Yeah, I was out of touch

C

But it wasn't because I didn't know enough

Bsus B

I just knew too much

Em

Does that make me crazy?

G

Does that make me crazy??

C

Does that make me crazy???

Bsus B

Probably.

E C

And I hope that you are having the time of your life

G Bsus B

But think twice, that's my only advice

Em G

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,

C

Ha ha ha bless your soul

Bsus B

You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy!

I think you're crazy!

I think you're crazy,

Just like me.

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb

And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun

And it's no coincidence I've come

And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe you're crazy

Maybe we're crazy

Probably

Mighty Mouse Theme

Youtube vid

Note that the melody for here I come to save the day is an arpegiated Am. Keywords: childrens

G

Mister Trouble never hangs around

E7 Am

When he hears this Mighty sound.

[Can arpegiate the Am]

"Here I come to save the day"

D7 (or F#dim - D7) G

That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way.

G

Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right

E7 Am (or A7?)

Mighty Mouse will join the fight.

On the sea or on the land,

D7 G

He gets the situation well in hand.

[skipping the bridge]

[No sir,] We're not worrying at all...

E7 Am

We're just listening for his call.

"Here I come to save the day!"

D7 G

That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way.

Hong Kong Fooey Theme

Sublime do it in Dm, original is Cm. Play as barre on 3rd fret so the bass can go from E3 E7 A3.

Cm

Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy.

G

Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye.

Cm6 (nice ending)

Hong Kong Phooey, he's fan-riffic (gong!)

Tequilla by The Champs

Can play in any key, but the original is F, to make it easier on the sax I think. Or do it in G fingerstyle, like this...

Verses (play barre 8th fret):

/ F Eb / F Eb / F Eb / F Eb /

Bridge (play the B7 with pinky on 7th):

/ Bb7 / F / Bb7 / G C7 / (Tequilla!)

For verses, can have 2nd guitar playing a D chord on 5th fret to 3rd fret.

During verses, nice to do this riff:

Grey by Alice Phoebe Lou

Her amazing live version

Ab (xx6544) / Cm / Bm / Fm

Calm the fuck down, and unclench your fist

I can't see you through the mist

How did it come to this?

Wipe the tears from inside your head.

Your eyes are looking dead.

Was it something I said?

Take back those words, I'm not as strong as I look.

Its my soul that you shook.

And my heart that you took.

Leave me in my misery, hopefully I'll forget you some day.

I can't stay.

I have to stop my soul's decay.

You've taken all my dignity, its clear to me that this ain't child's play.

I'll be on my way.

Before my world turns grey.

Hey! Hey you! Yes you standing there.

Is this fair? [?]

Oh would you give me care?

Hey! Hey you! Yes you with the smile.

Would you take me under your wing for awhile?

Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce

G A7

Well, the south side of Chicago, is the baddest part of town

B7 C7 D7 C7 G D7

And if you go down there you better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.

G A7

Now, Leroy more than trouble, you see he stand about 'bout six foot four.

B7 C7 D7 C7 G D7

All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover.", all the men just call him "sir".

Chorus:

G A7

And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown, the baddest man in the whole damn town.

B7 C7 D7 C7 G D7

Badder than old King Kong, And meaner than a junkyard dog.

Now, Leroy, he a gambler, and he like his fancy clothes.

And he like to wave diamond rings in front of everybody's nose

He got a custom Continental. He got an Eldorado too.

He got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun, he got a razor in his shoe.

[Chorus]

Well, Friday 'bout a week ago, Leroy's shootin' dice.

And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris, and oh, that girl look nice

Well, he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began.

And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson 'bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man

[Chorus]

Well, the two men took to fightin', and when they pulled them from the floor,

Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.

[Chorus x 2]

Outro:

B7 C

Yes, you were badder than old King Kong

D7 C7 G

And meaner than a junkyard dog.

I am..... You got me....

You like me... You keep me...

You want me.... Pray god you got me!

Honey, I'm going downtown, with my hat caved in

I'm coming back home with a pocket full of tin

[x2]

Well, the little red hen said to the little red rooster

Rooster, you don't come round my chicken shack as much as you used to.

[x2]

And I ain't been... No I ain't....

Uh oh, no nobody been here, not since you was here last....

Put your arm around me baby, like you circle around the sun [?]

There Are Worse Things I Could Do from Grease

Soundtrack key is G (and Glee version), but thats pretty high or low for me. This is the key from the songbook I bought, oddly. Works much better for me. The songbook has the sheetmusic if needed.

keywords: jazz

Intro: arpegiate G13 (10 9 10 10 12)

Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 Bm7b5 E7

There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two.

Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy,

Gmaj7 Cmaj7 or Em7 A7

And no good, I suppose it could be true,

D7 G

But there are worse things I could do.

Am Am/G Fmaj7

I could flirt with all the guys,

Bm7b5 E7

Smile at them and bat my eyes.

Press against them when we dance,

D7 Gmaj7

Make them think they stand a chance,

Em7 A7

Then refuse to see it through.

D7 G

That's a thing I'd never do.

Gm Cm7 Cm7/A# F7

I could stay home every night,

A#maj7 D#maj7

Wait around for Mr. Right.

Cm

Take cold showers every day,

Cm7/Bb D7

And throw my life away,

D/F# G7sus G7

On a dream that won't come true.

Am Am/G Fmaj7

I could hurt someone like me,

Bm7b5 E7

Out of spite or jealousy.

Amaj7

I dont steal and I don't lie,

But I can feel and I can cry.

E7 Am Am/G Fmaj7

A fact I'll bet you never knew.

stop stayin' out late at night

Go home to your wife and your family

sit down by the fireside bright

I love Irene God knows I do

love her till the sea run dry

And if Irene turns her back on me

I'm gonna take morphine and die

For me to stay here I got to be me.

You'll never be in doubt,

That's what it's all about,

You can't take me for granted and smile.

Count the days I'm gone

Forget reachin' me by phone

Because I promise I'll be gone for a while.

And when you see me again,

I hope that you have been,

The kind of person....that you really are now.

Got to get in straight,

How could I ever be late,

When you're my woman taking up my time.

Whoa, oh how could I ever allow,

I guess I wonder how,

I could get out a pocket for fun. HOW HOW!!

When you know that you're never number two,

Number one's gonna be number one,

ohh oww oohh

I'll be good,

I wish I could

I get this message over to you now.

ahhh, yeah, message, mmmm

When you see me again,

I hope that you have been,

The kind of person you really are now.

I'll be so good, oh

I wish I could,

I don't want none of your time and (no)

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hangin' out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Tryin' to holler at me

Verse 2:

And I know that he cannot approach me

D G D G

Early in the morning, risin' to the street

Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet

Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong

Got to find a reason why my money's all gone

I got a dalmation, and I can still get high

I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot

[high voice]

Well, life is (too short), so love the one you got

'Cause you might get runover or you might get shot

Never start no static I just get it off my chest

Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest

Take a small example, take a tip from me

Take all of your money, give it all to charity

Love is what I got

It's within my reach

And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach

It all comes back to you, you'll finally get what you deserve

Try and test that you're bound to get served

Love's what I got

Don't start a riot

You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got

(That's) why I don't cry when my dog runs away

I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay

I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot

Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock

Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same

Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane

Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got, I got I got I got

Case Of You by Joni Mitchell

Joni key is C# on Blue and live in C (ish, since her Apalacian dulcimer isnt tuned to A440). This is a kind of loose arrangement I made, using Blackbird style chording to get a bit of that Joni dulcimer sound.

G* = x 10 0 10 x

G* D/F# (x900 10 x)

Just before our love got lost you said

Em7 (x7008x)

"I am as constant as the northern star"

Am (X3005X) G (X2003X)

And I said, "Constantly in the darkness

Am7 [Em7] D/F#

[Where's that at?] If you want me I'll be in the bar"

G D/F#

On the back of a cartoon coaster

Em7

In the blue TV screen light

Am G

I drew a map of Canada

G D/F# Em7

Oh Ca - na - da

Am7 D/F#

With your face sketched on it twice

Chorus:

C (x3005x) Bm (x2003x)

Oh, youre in my blood like holy wine

Am7 G

You taste so bitter and so sweet

G D/F# Em7

Oh I could drink a case of you and

Am7 [G] D/F#

Still I'd be on my feet

G

I'd still be on my feet

G D/F#

Oh I am a lonely painter

Em7

I live in a box of paints

Am G

I'm frightened by the devil

Am7 [Em7] D/F#

And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

G D/F#

I remember that time that you told me, you said

Em7

"Love is touching souls" [Surely you touched mine]

Am G

Cause part of you pours out of me

Am7 [Em7] D/F#

In these lines from time to time

Chorus:

C (x3005x) Bm (x2003x)

Oh, youre in my blood like holy wine

Am7 G

You taste so bitter and so sweet

G D/F# Em7

Oh I could drink a case of you and

Am7 [G] D/F#

Still I'd be on my feet

G

I'd still be on my feet

G D/F#

I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours

Em7

She knew your life, she knew your devils and your deeds, and she said

Am G

"Go to him, stay with him if you can

Am7 D/F#

But be prepared to bleed"

G / F / E (or Em?) / D

Just lyrics:

Back about eighteen and twenty-five

I left Tennessee very much alive

I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud

If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud

Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa

One of her brothers was a bad outlaw

I wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud And

I rode away on the Tennessee Stud

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean

The color of the sun and his eyes were green

He had the nerve and he had the blood

There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud

Drifted on down into no man's land

Across the river called the Rio Grande

Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe

Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold

Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree

We got in a fight over Tennessee

Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud

And I rode away on a Tennessee Stud

[chorus]

I rode right back across Arkansas

I whipped her brother and

I whipped her Pa

I found that girl with the golden hair

She was riding on a Tennessee Mare

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor

Little horse colt playing round the door

I loved the girl with the golden hair

And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare

[chorus]

Ending: G / F / Em / D

Just lyrics:

Shut up and go to bed

Put the pillow under your head

I'm sick and tired of all your worries

Shut up and say goodnight

Say your prayers and turn off the light

I'm sick and tired of all your sob-stories

Shut up and shut your eyes

No more histrionics, no more college tries

Stop pushing, stop shoving, stop straining

Shut your mouth and button your lip

You're a late night faucet that's gotta drip

All you're doing is merely complaining

The excuse that you're crazy is useless

You're not biting you're barking you're toothless

But you're ruthless (you're Rufus)

Shut up and count some sheep

And do me a favor, don't bitch in your sleep

No more agony, please no more sorrow

Shut up and catch some Zs

Ice cream with a cherry plus a big pretty please

I promise we'll resume tomorrow...Goodnight.

Royals by Lorde

Puddles the Clown version is down a step in C (great live version here)

Verse 1

D

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address - in the torn up town

No postcode envy

Chorus

D

But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room

C G

We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

D

But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

C G

We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair

D

And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood

C

That kind of lux just ain't for us

G

We crave a different kind of buzz

D

Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee

C

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

G D

Let me live that fantasy

Verse 2

D

My friends and I we've cracked the code

We count our dollars on the train to the party

And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this

We didn't come from money

[Chorus]

D

But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room

C G

We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

D

But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair

That kind of lux just ain't for us

Late at night I toss and turn and dream

Somewhere just beyond my reach

There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

F E

Its gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

till they came unto a barn

D Am C G Am A5 Am A5

And there they made a solemn oath,

D C G Am A5 Am A5

on poor John Barleycorn.

They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks,

And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pots,

D C G A major (can do x02225)

without a little Barleycorn

Just the lyrics:

There were three men came out of the west,

their fortunes for to try

And these three men made a solemn oath:

John Barleycorn must die.

They've ploughed, they've sewn, they've harrowed him in;

threw clods upon his head

And these three men made a solemn vow:

John Barleycorn was dead.

They've let him lie for a very long time,

till the rains from heaven did fall

And little Sir John sprung up his head,

and so amazed them all.

They've let him stand till midsummer's day,

till he looked both pale and worn

And these three men made a solemn oath,

on poor John Barleycorn.

They've hired men with the scythes so sharp,

to cut him off at the knee

They've rolled him and tied him by the waist,

servin' him most barbarously.

They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks,

who pricked him to the heart

And the loader he has served him worse than that,

for he's bound him to the cart

They've wheeled him around and around the field,

till they came unto a barn

And there they made a solemn oath,

on poor John Barleycorn.

They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks,

to cut him skin from bone

And the miller he has served him worse than that,

for he's ground him between two stones.

And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl,

and his brandy in the glass

And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl,

proved the strongest man at last.

The huntsman, he can't hunt the fox,

nor so loudly to blow his horn

And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pots,

without a little Barleycorn

Intro: Dm F G

Am G6 Am G6 F C G

Take me out tonight

where there's music and there's people

Driving in your car

I never never want to go home

because I haven't got one

anymore

Take me out tonight

because I want to see people and I

want to see lights

Driving in your car

oh please don't drop me home

because it's not my home, it's their

home, and I'm welcome no more

Dm F G

Oh well a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

I said a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

You know in the old days

When a young man was a strong man

All the people they'd step back

When a young man walked by

But you know nowadays

It's the old man,

He's got all the money

And a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

G C

If my words did glow, with the gold of sunshine

G

And my tunes, were played, on the harp unstrung

C

Would you hear my voice, come through the music?

G D C G

Would you hold it near, as it were your own?

G C

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken

G

Perhaps they're better left unsung

C

I don't know, don't really care

G D C G

Let there be songs, to fill the air

Am D

Ripple in still water,

G C

When there is no pebble tossed,

A D

Nor wind to blow

G C

Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty

G

If your cup is full, may it be again

C

Let it be known, there is a fountain

G D C G

That was not made, by the hands of men

G C

There is a road, no simple highway

G

Between the dawn, and the dark of night

C

And if you go, no one may follow

G D C G

That path is for, your steps alone

Am D

Ripple in still water,

G C

When there is no pebble tossed,

A D

Nor wind to blow

G C

You who choose, to lead must follow

G

But if you fall, you fall alone

C

If you should stand, then who's to guide you?

If I knew the way, I would take you home

Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey

The version from the movie is here. Nice cover here, and here. And Shirley doing it live a step down in D.

C+ = x3211x

Fill = D2 D0 A3 A0

And in the horn riff can sometimes use Cmaj7 instead of C?

Intro:

E C/G C+ C [x4]

Verse 1:

E C/G [C+ C] [*Fill]

Goldfinger

Bm E A D#7 [N.C.]

He's the man, the man with the Midas touch

A spider's touch

Verse 2:

Such a cold finger

Bm E A D#7 [N.C.]

Beckons you to enter his web of sin

G#m/D# G#m+5/E G#m6/F G#m+5/E

But don't go in

Bridge:

D#m A#7

Golden words he will pour in your ear

D#m7 A#7#9 [ugh... Bmaj7??? or 7x877x]

But his lies can't disguise what you fear

D# Bm6 (or E9)

For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her

F#m6 F#dim

It's the kiss of death from Mister

Verse 3:

E C/G [C+ Cmaj7]

Goldfinger

Bm E A D#7 [N.C.]

Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold

G#m/D# G#m+5/E G#m6/F G#m+5/E

This heart is cold

[Bridge, Then verse 3]

Diamonds are Forever by Shirley Bassey

Bond version, and a nice cover, and the Arctic Monkeys doing it in F#

Intro:

The movie soundtrack version has a nice fingerpicky intro that sounds a bit like the Elephant Man theme. Can use that for the verses too:

Bm finger picking 024423 finger picking

|---2-------------[x2]-------3-----------------[x2]--|

|-----3---2---2-3--------------2---2---2---3---------|

|-------4---4--------------------4---4---------------|

|----------------------------------------------------|

|-2-----------------------2--------------------------|

|----------------------------------------------------|

Or can just a simple finger pick pattern of (like in the cover):

Bm

|------------------------------|

|-----------3-------------------|

|--------4----------------------|

|-----4-------------------------|

|--2----------------------------|

Or just strum a Bm to Em7.

Bm

Diamonds are forever

Em7 [or 022032]

They are all I need to please me

A7

They can stimulate and tease me

Em Em7/D [heavy triplet feel]

They won't leave in the night

Cmaj9 (x320030] [Edim x78080] A7

I've no fear that they might desert me

Bm

Diamonds are forever

Em7

Hold one up and then caress it

A7

Touch it, stroke it and undress it

Em Em7/D

I can see every part

Cmaj9 A7

Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

Bridge:

F#m7

I don't need love

Bm Em7

For what good will love do me?

C7 [or C9]

Diamonds never lie to me

F#7

For when love's gone

Gdim7 or Bbdim7 (x1202x)

They'll luster on

Bm

Diamonds are forever

Em7

Sparkling round my little finger

A7

Unlike men, the diamonds linger

Em7 Em7/D

Men are mere mortals who

Cmaj9 A7

Are not worth going to your grave for

Bridge:

F#m7

I don't need love

Bm Em7

For what good will love do me?

C7 [or C9]

Too Hot by Kool & The Gang

Cm7 Gm7

At seventeen we fell in love,

Fm7

high school sweethearts,

Abmaj7 G7

love was so brand new

Cm7 Gm7

We took the vows of man and wife,

Fm7 Gsus7 G7

forever, for life

Cmaj7 Am7

I remember how we made our way,

Fmaj7 Dm7 [G7]

a little patience, the times we prayed

Cmaj7 Am7

Can't imagine that this love is through,

Fmaj7 Dm7 [G7]

feeling the pain, girl, when you lose

Chorus:

Cm7 (8x888x) Cm7/B (7x888x)

Oh, it's too hot, too hot, lady

Cm7/Bb (6x888x) F9 (or F9 / A x07888)

Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade

Cm7 Cm7/B

It's too hot, too hot lady

Cm7/Bb F9

Gotta cool this anger, what a mess we made

Abmaj7 Gsus7 G7 Cm7 Gm7 Fm7 Abmaj7 G7

So long ago, you were my love, oh my love

Cm7 Gm7

Flyin' high, we never took the time

Fm7 Abmaj7 G7

To stop and feel the need

Cm7 Gm7

Funny how those years go by

Fm7 Gsus7 G7

Changing you, changing me

Cmaj7 Am7

I remember love's fever

Fmaj7 Dm7

in our hearts, girl and in our minds

Cmaj7 Am7

Can't imagine that this love is through

Fmaj7 Dm7

Feeling the pain, girl, when you lose

So come here, sweet mama

Now and help me with this heavy load

I am due in West Texas

And I've got to get on the road

I'm goin' to West Texas

I'm goin' down behind the sun

I'm gonna ask the good Lord

What evil have I done

Dreams by Fleetwood Mac

Just Gmaj7 / A the whole time, ignore chords. Album key is F, but G is nicer.

Now here you go again

You say you want your freedom

Well who am I to keep you down?

It's only right that you should play the way you feel it

But listen carefully to the sound

Of your loneliness, like a heartbeat drives you mad

In the stillness of remembering what you had

And what you lost

And what you had

And what you lost

CHORUS:

Oh thunder only happens when it's raining

Players only love you when they're playing

Say, women, they will come and they will go

When the rain washes you clean you'll know

You'll know

2nd Verse:

Now here I go again

I see you crystal visions

I keep my visions to myself

It's only me who wants to wrap around you dreams and,

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell

Dreams of loneliness like a heartbeat drives you mad

In the stillness of remembering what you had

And what you lost

And what you had

Ooh and what you lost

repeat chorus twice:

You'll know

You will know

I'm Just a Bill by School House Rock

Original

G (or G7)

I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill

[G/F/Em] C7 (or C9)

Well it's a long, long journey to the capitol city. It's a long, long wait

D D7

while I'm sittin' in committee - but I know I'll be a law someday, at least

F Eb7 C [C Bb G]

I hope and pray that I will, but today I am still just a bill.

G Am G

(Kid) "Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage."

(Bill) "Well, I got this far. When I started I wasn't even a bill, I was

just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed,

C7

so they called their local congressman and he said, 'You're right,

there ought to be a law.' Then he sat down, wrote me out, and

introduced me to Congress, and I became a bill - and I'll remain a

D

bill until they decide to make me a law."

G

I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I got as far as Capitol Hill.

C7

Well now, I'm stuck in committee, and I'll sit here and wait, while a

D

few key congressmen discuss and debate whether they should let me be a law.

F Eb

How I hope and pray that they will, but today I am still just a bill.

G

(Kid) "Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate

about you?"

(Bill) "Yeah, I one of the lucky ones. Most bills never get this far. I

C7

hope they decide to report favorably, otherwise I may die."

(Kid) "Die?"

G

(Bill) "Yeah, die in committee. Ooh, but it looks like I'm gonna' live.

D

Now I go to the House of Represenatives and they vote on me."

C7

(Kid) "If they vote 'Yes,' what happens?"

G

(Bill) "Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again."

D

(Kid) "Oh, no."

(Bill) "Oh, yes!"

G

I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and if they vote for me on Capitol Hill,

C7

well, then I'm off to the White House, where I'll wait in a line with a lot

D

of other bills for the President to sign, and if he signs me then I'll be a law

F Eb C

How I hope and pray that he will, but today I am still just a bill.

G Am G

(Kid) "You mean, even if the whole Congress says you should be a law,

G

the President can still say no?"

(Bill) "Yes. That's called a 'veto.' If the President vetoes me, I'll

have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that

time you're so old, you...

C7 D

(Kid) "By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law. It's not

easy to become a law, is it?"

(Bill) "No..."

F Eb C

But how I hope and pray that I will, but today I am still just a bill.

(Congressman) "He signed you, Bill. Now you're a law."

(Bill) "Oh yes!"

Unpack Your Adjectives by Schoolhouse Rock

Original

Eb Ab Bb

Got home from camping last spring.

Eb Ab Bb

Saw people, places and things.

Eb Ab

We barely had arrived,

Db Gb

Friends asked us to describe

B Bb

The people, places and every last thing.

Eb Ab Bb

So we unpacked our adjectives.

Eb Ab Bb

I unpacked "frustrating" first.

Eb Ab Bb

Reached in and found the word "worst".

Eb Ab

Then I picked "soggy" and

Db Gb

Next I picked "foggy" and

B Bb

Then I was ready to tell them my tale.

Eb Ab Bb

'Cause I'd unpacked my adjectives.

Bb A Ab G

[Bridge]

F#7 [B9]

Adjectives are words you use to really describe things,

Handy words to carry around.

Ab7 [C#9]

Days are sunny or they're rainy

Boys are dumb or else they're brainy

Adjectives can show you which way.

Bb7 [Eb9]

Adjectives are often used to help us compare things,

To say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall.

C7 Db7

Girls who are tall get taller,

Boys who are small get smaller,

Till one is the tallest

C7 Db7 Bb

And the other's the smallest of all.

Eb Ab Bb

We hiked along without care.

Eb Ab Bb

Then we ran into a bear.

Eb Ab

He was a hairy bear,

Db Gb

He was a scary bear,

B Bb

We beat a hasty retreat from his lair.

Eb Ab Bb [roll down to F#]

And described him with adjectives.

[Spoken, can skip spoken part, but if do, can use bridge pattern]

F#7 B9

Boy, that was one big, ugly bear!

You can even make adjectives out of the other parts of speech, like verbs or

All you have to do is tack on an ending like "-ic" or "-ish" or "-ary". For example, this

can grow up to be a beautiful woman but still have a girlish face. "Girl" is a noun,

the ending "-ish" makes it an adjective - girlish. That describes the beautiful woman's

get it?

Eb Ab Bb

Next time you go on a trip,

Eb Ab Bb

Remember this little tip:

Eb Ab

The minute you get back,

Db Gb

They'll ask you this and that,

B Bb

You can describe people, places and things...

Eb Ab Bb

Simply unpack your adjectives.

You can do it with adjectives.

Tell them 'bout it with adjectives.

You can shout it with adjectives.

Lets Go to Bed by The Cure

Original and nice acoustic version

Main progression:

Cm / Eb / F / Bb (can sometimes do Eb instead of the Bb)

Intro (kazoo):

Doo doo doo doo

Let me take your hand, I'm shaking like milk

Turning, turning blue all over the windows and the floors

Fires outside in the sky, look as perfect as cats

The two of us, together again. But it's just the same, a stupid game

F (first fret) G (3rd fret)

But I don't care if you don't

Eb (6) F (8)

And I don't feel if you don't

G (3 or 10) G# (4 or 11)

And I don't want it if you don't

Bb (6) [main progression]

And I won't say it, If you won't say it first

You think you're tired now, but wait until three

Laughing at the Christmas lights / you remember from December

All of this / then back again / another girl / another name

Stay alive / but stay the same / It's just the same / A stupid game

F (first fret) G (3rd fret)

But I don't care if you don't

And I won't say it, If you won't say it first

[optional 3rd verse that I dont know very well]

You can't even see now, so you ask me the way

You wonder if it's real because it couldn't be rain

Through the right doorway / And into the white room

It used to be the dust that would lay here when I came here alone

[Chorus]

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

Whiplash girlchild in the dark

Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies

Chase the costumes she shall wear

Ermine furs adorn the imperious

Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary

I could sleep for a thousand years

A thousand dreams that would awake me

Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather

Shiny leather in the dark

Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly

Severin, down on your bended knee

Taste the whip, in love not given lightly

Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary

I could sleep for a thousand years

A thousand dreams that would awake me

Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

Whiplash girlchild in the dark

Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Officer Krupke from West Side Story

Movie version is here

Every verse goes up a half step. Heres the version with the key changes. Below is a version all in one key.

I like to play the B as an A barre. The starting note (flatted 5th) is really important for each verse deaaar. Lke Johnny Cash walk the line setting the key, but with a flat 5! For intro can do the bass riff.

B7b5 = 7x786x or x21201 or x2323x

Bass riff (adjust for each verse/key by moving up the neck):

|---1-4-----4-2-1------1-4-----4-2-1-------|

|-2---------------4--2---------------4-2---|

|------------------------------------------|

[Verse 1: key is B]

Opening note on the "dear" is F. Each verse starts with it (flatted 5 or sharp 4)

Can start with B7b5 (7x786x) optionally.

Suzanne Was a Lady

Im doing it G / A / D7, but not sure.

Suzanne was a lady with plenty of class

She drove the boys crazy when she wiggled her

Eyes at the fellows as many ladies do

To make it quite plain that she wanted to

Take in a movie or maybe a show

Go for a walk or a stroll through the grass,

Then hurry back home for a nice piece of

Ice cream and cake and a piece of roast duck,

And after each meal she was ready to

Go for a walk or a stroll on the dock

With any young man with a sizeable

Roll of green bills and a pretty good front,

And if he talked fast enough, she would show him her

Little pet dog who's subject to fits,

And maybe let him grab hold of her

Little white hand with a movement so quick.

Then she'd lean over and tickle his

Chin while she showed what she once learned in France,

And asked the poor fellow to take off his

Coat while she sang "Off the Mandalay Shore,"

For whatever she was, Suzanne was no bore.

Cigarettes and Whisky and Wild Women

Awesome Muppets version in E

Nice version by Avett Brothers in G here and here

Its a bit easier to get shouty in E. Also nice and mellower in D.

[Heavy 3/4 time]

E A E

Once I was happy, [and] I had a good wife

E F#7 B7

I had enough money to last me for life

E A E

Till I met with a gal and we went on a spree

E B7 E

She taught me to smoke and to drink whiskey

Chorus:

E A E

Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women

E F#7 B7

They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane

E A E

Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women

E B7 E

They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane

E A E

Cigarettes are a blot on the whole human race

F#7 B7

F# man is a monkey with one in his face

E A E

Thats my definition, believe me dear brothers

E B7 E

There's a fire on one end and a fool on the other

[Chorus]

E A E

Write on the cross at the head of my grave

E F#7 B7

To women and whiskey, here lies a poor slave

E A E

Take warning dear stranger, take warning dear friend

E B7 E

They'll write in big letters these words at my end

[Chorus]

Ending:

E B7 E

They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane

[last verse in Avett Brothers version]

Now listen dear brother, now listen my friend

Now these are the words that they'll write at your end

Now these are the words that they'll write at your grave

To women and whisky this man was a slave

[last verse from Croce version]

And now I'm feeble and broken with age

The lines on my face make a well written page

I'm leaving this story, how sad but how true

On women and whiskey and what they will do

How Many Friends by the Who

Album key is F, which is really high. I think he's playing it in G tuned down a step since its so much more natural to play it in that key. No Eb for example. I like it capo on 2 in G in standard tuning.

Its a groove song like the Smiths so probably just best to write the pattern over each verse (G / Am / F / C [Am]) and then just read the words.

| G | Am | F | C Am | [x2]

I'm feelin' so good right now

There's a handsome boy tells me how I changed his path

He buys me a brandy

Or could it be he's really just after my ass?

He likes the clothes I wear

He says he likes a man to dress in season

But no one else ever stares, he's being so kind

Am D [no pause]

What's the reason?

[chorus]

D A Bm G

How many friends have I really got?

A

You can count 'em on one hand

D A Bm G A

How many friends have I really got?

D A Bm G

How many friends have I really got?

C G C G C C/B (x20010) Am7 Am7/G D

That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?

Suddenly it's a silver screen

And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out

Everybody hears me

But, I look like a fool, now, with a cry and I shy out

She knows all of my friends

But it's nice to find a woman who'll stay on late

But now I think I've reached the end

F C Am D

I wonder in the dead of night, how do I rate?

[chorus]

[Bridge]

Dm Dm/C (pinky on A3)

It's all like a dream you know

C G

When you're still up early in the morning

Am G F [F/E]

And you all sit together to watch the sun come through

Dm Dm/C

But things don't look so good

Bb (bass Bb/A)

When you could use a bit of warning

Gm A/E (?) A

Then you know that no one will ever speak the truth about you.

[chorus]

D A Bm G

How many friends have I really got?

A

You can count 'em on one hand

D A Bm G A

How many friends have I really got?

D A Bm G

How many friends have I really got?

C G C G C C/B (x20010) Am7 Am7/G D

That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?

| G | Am | F | C Am |

When I first signed the contract,

it was more than a handshake then, I know it still is.

But there's a plain fact

We talk so much shit behind each other's backs, I get the willies

People know nothing about their own soft guts

So how come they can sum us up

Without suffering all the hype we've known

Am D

How come they bum us up

[chorus]

With the chords:

| G | Am | F | C Am | [x2]

G Am

I'm feelin' so good right now

F C G

There's a handsome boy tells me how I changed his path

Am

He buys me a brandy

F C [Am] G

Or could it be he's really just after my ass?

Am

He likes the clothes I wear

F C G

He says he likes a man to dress in season

Am F C

But no one else ever stares, he's being so kind

Am D [no pause]

What's the reason?

[chorus]

How many friends have I really got?
