Maybe you wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
G A D
A taste of honey is worse than none at all
CHORUS:
G D
Oh in that case I don't want no part
G D
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
A G D
And you got the notion, I second that emotion
A G
Said, if you feel like givin' me a lifetime of devotion
D A G D A G D
I second that emotion
Maybe you think that love would tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Or maybe you think that love was made for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules

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.

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!

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

Dmaj7 F#m7 Em7
I know your eyes in the morning sun

Em7 A7sus - A7
I wanna feel you in my arms again
Gmaj7 F#m7
Then you come to me on a summer breeze

You know the door to my very soul
Dmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
Em7 A7sus - A7
You're my saviour when I fall
Gmaj7 F#m7
And you may not think I care for you
Em7 C9
When you know down inside that I really do
F#m7 Gmaj7/A D
And it's me you need to show, how deep is your love
Another way of writing it:
Dmaj7 F#m7 Em7
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I believe in you

I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
You know the door to my very soul
Dmaj7 F#m7 Bm7

Trying to forget you is just a waste of time

I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
|C/D |Bm |
|C/D |Bm |
All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado

How I wish to God that you were here

Rep & Fade
(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.
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.
Ooh ooh, woah oh, ooh ooh, woah oh.
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]
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

PRE CHORUS
G A Bbdim Bm7

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):

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)

Outro:

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

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

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.
In Cm (pretty easy to sing):
Intro (same as verses)
Verse1
Cm F Cm F
Feeling better now that we're through
Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
Ab Bb Eb
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Cm F G
Now I see how you really are
Chorus (Dm - G the whole time)
You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby you're no good.
(I'm gonna say it again) You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby youre no good.
Verse2
Cm F Cm F
I broke a heart that's gentle and true
Well I broke a heart over someone like you
Ab Bb Eb
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
Cm F G
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
Chorus (Cm - F the whole time)
You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby you're no good.
You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby youre no good.
Verse3 (optional)
Cm F (repeat whole verse)
I'm telling you now baby and I'm going my way
Forget about you baby 'cause I'm leaving to stay
Chorus (Cm - F the whole time)
You're no good, youre no good, youre no good... Baby you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again: you're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby youre no good.
(Accapella)
You're no good You're no good You're no good Baby you're no good
Jam?
Again, in Dm:
Intro (same as verses)
Verse1
Dm G Dm G
Feeling better now that we're through
Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
Bb C F
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Dm G A
Now I see how you really are
Chorus (Dm - G the whole time)
You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby you're no good.
(I'm gonna say it again) You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby youre no good.
Verse2
Dm G Dm G
I broke a heart that's gentle and true
Well I broke a heart over someone like you

I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
Dm G A
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me

You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby you're no good.
You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby youre no good.
Verse3 (optional)
Dm G (repeat whole verse)
I'm telling you now baby and I'm going my way
Forget about you baby 'cause I'm leaving to stay
Chorus (Dm - G the whole time)
You're no good, youre no good, youre no good... Baby you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again: you're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby youre no good.
(Accapella)
You're no good You're no good You're no good Baby you're no good
Jam?
Again, in Am, which I used to like:
Verse1
Am D Am D
Feeling better now that we're through
Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
F G C
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Am D E
Now I see how you really are
Chorus (Am - D the whole time)
You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby you're no good.
(I'm gonna say it again) You're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby youre no good.
Verse2
Am D Am D
I broke a heart that's gentle and true

You're no good, youre no good, youre no good... Baby you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again: you're no good, youre no good, youre no good, baby youre no good.
D Am D
Oh, oh no
(Accapella)
You're no good You're no good You're no good Baby you're no good
Jam?
(would sound good with one person doing bass riff and one person doing chrods? And good for backup vocals?)

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
Dm7 Am7 Fmaj7 E
That girl's all right with me, yeah
She's a super freak, super freak, she's super-freaky, yow
/ Dm7 Am7 G Am7 / / / / FG Am7 FG Am7 /
/ FG Am7 - - Fmaj7 - E - / Dm7 Am7 G Am7 / /
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
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
When routine bites hard
Bm [Em7-] A
And ambitions are low
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
Play with E bar shape most of the time
Can keep playing the riff all the time, except the chorus
Intro and main riff: B - E - B - A - A# - B
B E - B A A# B
i don't care if you hurt me some more
B E - B A A# B
i don't care if you even the score
B (still do the A-A#-B riff, but no E-B)
you can knock me and i don't care
you can mock me and i don't care
you can rock me just about anywhere
it's alright
G A
'cus you're all i've got tonight
G A
you're all i've got tonight
G A
you're all i've got tonight
B E - B A - A# - B
i need you tonight
i don't care if you use me again
i don't care if you abuse me again
you can make me i don't care
you can fake me i don't care
you can love me just about anywhere
it's alright
CHORUS
Titty Kazoo Solo over chorus chords
i don't want to feel sorry for you
you don't have to make believe it's you
you can pump me i don't care
you can bump me i don't care
you can love me just about anywhere
it's alright
CHORUS
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?
Em F#m G A
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
D Bm A G A (x4)
D Bm A G A (Outro x4) D
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
Chorus
Cmaj7
So swallow all your tears my love
Bm
And put on your new face
Cmaj7
You can never win or lose if
Bm
You don't run the race
Cmaj7
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Bm
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Outro: C D C D (fade out)
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?)
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
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
nice easy tutorial (down!)
C#dim7 = x4545x
[intro (end of chorus pattern "crazy for trying and crazy for crying")]
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G7 (descending from 8th fret)
C A7 Dm7
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
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
Easier to sing if start the verses with G than G6 for some reason. Can play with open chords.

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
D#9
When will you realize
D9 G
Vienna waits for you
C D
Slow down you crazy child
G G/F#
Take the phone off the hook
Em7 (020003) D
And disappear for a while
C F#m7 B7 Em7 A7
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
D#9
When will you realize
D9 G
Vienna waits for you
C D
But you know that when the truth is told
G G/F#
That you can get what you want
Em7 (020003) D
Or you can just get old
C F#m7 B7 Em7 A7
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
D#9
When will you realize
D9 G
Vienna waits for you
Em D#9
When will you realize
D9 G
Vienna waits for you

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
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.
(main riff is bar chords 5-4-3-4-5 etc)

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.
