Of men that dont bother
With the taste of a teat

The Specials version, and the original by Daniel Livingston (in A). Cool Amy Winehouse version. Nice version in Bb.
Get some harmonies going. Easier to sing with a ska beat but can also do the bass line as below. Note that the original is in A, a bit easier to sing. Bb is nice too.

Intro (kazoo):
Doo doo doo doo
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

But I don't care if you don't

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

[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]

I toasted you, said honey we may be through / but you'll never hear me complain

'Cause I got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases

So I've got friends in low places

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
Don Ho did it in F. Nice F version here, and nice G version 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.

Bass riff (adjust for each verse/key by moving up the neck):

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.
Nice version by Avett Brothers in G here and here
[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:

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

They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane

Cigarettes are a blot on the whole human race

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

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

Heres the version with just the lyrics. If singing alone, without the chorus, see the version below that. And at the end is a version with teh chords throughout.
G C
Oh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay
D G
I sleep all night and I work all day
He's a lumberjack and he's okay
he sleeps all night and he works all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory
On wednesdays he goes shopping
and has buttered scones for tea
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm ok
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wildflowers
I put on womens clothing
And hang around in bars
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wildflowers
He puts on womens clothing
And hangs around in bars
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm ok
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees i wear high-heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girly
Just like my dear papa
He's a lumberjack, and he's ok
He sleeps all night and he works all day
He cut down trees he wears high-heels
Suspenders and a bra???????
He wished he'd been a girly, just like his dear Papa
["Oh, heavens! I thought you were so rugged!"]
Solo version (without the backup chorus):
G C
Oh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay

And have buttered scones for tea

I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wildflowers
I put on womens clothing
And hang around in bars

I think the "oh, oh, the Israelites" line is actually "Poor me, Israelite ah".
Original key is Bb, nice in G if not warmed up.
Bb
Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
so that every mouth can be fed.
D# F Bb F# G#
Oh, oh, the Israelites
[Bb / F# G# between each verse]
Bb
Wife and kids, dem pack up and leave me.
Darling, she said, I was yours to receive.
D# F Bb F# G# (or C# D#)
Oh, oh, the Israelites
Bb
Shirt dem a tear up, trousers a go.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
D# F Bb F# G# (or C# D#)
Oh, oh, the Israelites
Bb
After a storm there must be a calm.
catch me in your farm..you sound an alarm.
Oh, oh, the Israelites
[repeat whole song]
Nice lesson here. I think Frank did it in B, Elvis Costello did it in D.
The Elvis version is really interesting, he just does a descending bass for the main Dm / DmM7 / Dm7 etc riff, E10, E9, E8, etc. Great idea. Note that doing it in Dm, can do the main progression as Dm xx0231, DmM7 xx0221, Dm7, etc.
Eb6 = x6554x (NICE MOVABLE FORM OF 6 chords)
A7#11 = 5x564x
Cm6 (can do as x3524x)
BbSus4 = 6x654x !!! (That's what I've been calling a A#/Bb
Sometimes can use G7 instead of the Ddim
Chord substitution notes (two ** means it sounds especially good):
(*1) = G7
(*2) = Fm6
(*3) = G7
(*4) = Ab6/9 (43334x)
(*5) = Bb7(b9add13) (6x658x)
(*6) = Ab6/9
(*7) = Ddim
(*8) = Bm7 A7#11 (5x564x)
(*9) = BbSus4 (6x654x)!!!
Nice to do a verse as chromatic descending bass, starting on tonic.
Cm CmM7 Cm7 Cm6
My funny valentine, sweet, comic valentine -
AbM7 * Fm7 Dm7b5 (*2) G7 (**3) *can do 8x688x
You make me smile with my heart.
Cm CmM7 (*1) Cm7 Cm6
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable,
AbM7 (*4) Fm7 Abm6 Bb7 (**5)
Yet you're my favorite work of art.
[Bridge]
EbM7 Fm7 Gm7 Fm7 (or can just alternate EbM7 / Fm7)
Is your figure less than Greek?
EbM7 Fm7 Gm7 Fm7
Is your mouth a little weak?
EbM7 G7+ Cm7 G7 or Cm7/G (***8) AbM7 (**6) G7 (*7)
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
Cm CmM7 Cm7 Cm6
But don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me
AbM7 (*6) Dm7b5 G7 (*7) Cm7 Eb7 (**8)
Stay, little val - en - tine, stay!
AbM7 Fm7 A#7 (**9) Eb6 (x6554x) or Eb6/9
Each day is val - en - tine's day.
[Nice ending]
G#dim EbM7 Eb6/9
Written in 1953 by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross
The awesome Tony version, and a nice Danny version, and a great Elvis Impersonator version in Eb. Elvis did it in E. Note that Danny and Elvis do a non jazzy version of, with the progression going D / D7 / G / A7 instead of D / D7 / Em7 / A7, and get rid of the maj7s.
Tony does it in D, but unwarmed up is good in C.
Bouncy intro: D / Em7 A7
Verse (heavy swing 3 feel)
D [D7] Em7 A7
I know I'd go from rags to riches
Dmaj7 [D#dim] B7
If you would only say you care
Em7 A7
And though my pocket may be empty
Dmaj7 Em7 A7
I'd be a millionaire
[D] Em7 A7
My clothes may still be torn and tattered
Dmaj7 [D#dim] B7
But in my heart I'd be a king
Em7 A
Your love is all that ever mattered
A7
It's everything
Bridge (2/4 time)
D A7
So open your arms and you'll open the door
D
To every treasure that I'm hopin' for
D A A7 D Em7 A7
Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine ever more
[D] Em7 A7
Must I forever be a beggar
Dmaj7 [D#dim] B7
Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Em7 A7
Or will I go from rags to riches?
Dmaj7 [Em7 A7]
My fate is up to you
[Titty over the bridge]

Intro:
VERSE 1:
C A7
You'll never know about the jailhouse blues,
D7 G7 C
Till they put you behind four walls.
C A7
The jailhouse man, he turns a big black key,
D7 G7
And that's when your spirit falls.
C C7
You'll drag yourself up to the bars
F F#dim
and then you gaze out at the stars
[D7 G]
[That's when you say]
CHORUS:
C A7
Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues,
D7 G7 C
Nobody knows but me,
C A7
And there on the outside you all can laugh,
D7 G7
But I don't need your sympathy.
C C7
Cause after I've paid for what I stole, [or "the liquor"]
F F#dim
I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold.
CHORUS:
C A7
Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues,
D7 G7 C
Nobody knows but me,
[Titty over a verse]
VERSE 2:
C A7
You won't realize that your freedom's gone,
D7 G7 C
Till they slam that big old iron door.
C A7
You won't realize that you're all alone,
D7 G7
Till you're seated in that two by four.
C C7
My gal said she loved me, even shed a tear
F F#dim
Ain't been to see me since they put me in here.
D7 G
But I'll get out someday...
CHORUS ***:
C A7
Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues,
D7 G7 C
Nobody knows but me,
C A7
And there on the outside, you all can laugh
D7 G7
But I don't need your sympathy.
C C7
Cause after I've paid for what I stole,
F F#dim
Gonna leave this place worth my weight in gold.
CHORUS:

Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues,

Nobody knows but me,

It ALL began when they come took me from my home
And put me on Death Row,
a crime for which I am totally innocent, you know.
[Spoken section, can skip? Or see live Nick version for nice way to do it.]
Am Em
I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields,
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner deals
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
All things either good or ungood.
Am AmMaj7
And the mercy seat is waiting / And I think my head is burning
Am7 G Gm
And in a way I'm yearning / To be done with all this weighing of the truth.
Bb
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
F Am
And anyway I told the truth / And I'm not afraid to die.
Am / Em / Am / Em
Am AmMaj7 Am7
I hear stories from the chamber / Christ was born into a manger
G Gm
And like some ragged stranger / He died upon the cross. And might I say,
Bb F
it seems so fitting in its way / He was a carpenter by trade
Am
Or at least that's what I'm told
Am / Em / Am / Em
Am Em
My kill-hand's tatooed E.V.I.L.
across it's brother's fist
That filthy five!
They did nothing to challenge or resist.
Am AmMaj7 Am7
In Heaven His throne is made of gold / The ark of his Testament is stowed
G
A throne from which I'm told / All history does unfold.
Gm Bb
It's made of wood and wire / And my body is on fire
F Am
And God is never far away.
Into the mercy seat I climb / My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries / To enter the bright eye
I go shuffling out of life / Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied.
And the mercy seat is waiting / And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning to be done with all this weighing of the truth.
An eye for an eye / And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth / And I'm not afraid to die.
And the mercy seat is burning / And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this twisting of the truth.
An eye for an eye / And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway there was no proof / And I'm not afraid to die.
And the mercy seat is glowing / And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all these looks of disbelief.
A life for a life / And a truth for a truth
And I've got nothing left to lose / And I'm not afraid to die.
And the mercy seat is smoking / And I think my head is melting
And in a way that's helping To be done with all this twisting of the truth
An eye for an eye / And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm afraid I told a lie.

What is there more handsome?
Gulped, swallowed or chewed,
Still worth a KINGS RANSOM!
What is it we dream about?
What brings on a sigh?
Piled peaches and cream about
Six feet high!
Food glorious food
Eat right through the menu
just loosen your belt
two inches and then you-
Work up a new appetite,
in this interlude, then!
food once again, food!
fabulous food! glorious food.

A man's got a heart, hasn't he?
Gm7b5 C7 Fm *or Bbm6
Joking apart -- hasn't he?

And though I'd be the first one to say that I wasn't a saint
G7 Gm7b5 C7
I'm finding it hard to be really as black as they paint

Can a fellow be a villain all his life
All the trials, and tribulation

Better settle down and get myself a wife
C7 Fm C7
And a wife would cook and sew for me

And come for me, and go for me

The fingers she will wag at me

The money she will take from me

I must quickly look up everyone I know
Titled people, with a station

Who can help me make a real impressive show
C7 Fm C7
I will own a suite at Claridge's

With friendliness, as much as is

Befitting of my new estate
Bbm Gm7b5 C7
"Good morrow to you, magistrate!" ...

Not sure what these are. Other more direct translation?
I wanted to love but was afraid
I wanted to protect my heart
but love knows a secret
fear can kill the heart
This is sweet water,
sweet water, my friend.
This is sweet water,
sweet water, my friend.
I never did a thing so certain
I learned of forgiveness (Literal: I entered the school of forgiveness)
My house is open
I opened all the doors of my heart
This is sweet water,
sweet water, my friend.
This is sweet water,
sweet water, my friend.

C/Bb Am6
A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road

It's the rest of a stump, it's a little alone

The beat of the road, a slingshot's stone
[H] C/Bb Am6
A fish, a flash, a silvery glow
[L] Fm6/Ab Cmaj7
A fight, a bet, the fange of a bow
C/Bb Am6
The bed of the well, the end of the line
Fm6/Ab CM7
The dismay in the face, it's a loss, it's a find
C/Bb Am6
A spear, a spike, a point, a nail
Fm6/Ab Cmaj7
A drip, a drop, the end of the tale
[H] Gm7 C9 FM7 or F#m7b5
A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light
Fm6 CM7
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night
C/Bb Am6
A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump,
Fm6/Ab CM7
It's a girl, it's a rhyme, it's a cold, it's the mumps
[H] Gm7 C9 FM7
The plan of the house, the body in bed
Fm6 CM7
And the car that got stuck, it's the mud, it's the mud
[H] Gm7 C7 FM7
A float, a drift, a flight, a wing
Fm6 CM7
A hawk, a quail, the promise of spring
C7 or F#7b5 Fmaj7 or F#mb5
And the river bank talks of the waters of March
Fm6 or Bb7b5 Cmaj7
It's the end of the strain, it's the joy in your heart

As long as theres a breeze to hold it there.
So the happiness of a poor man would seem
the grand illusion of the Carnaval,
He works and he plans
Each day through the year
To live if just for a few days
In the splendor of his dreams
To be a prince, a king, a Casanova
Then Wednesday comes and Carnaval must end.
His sadness lingers on. Too soon sweet joy is gone.
Happiness is like a drop of dew
Thats nestled in the petals of a flower
So peaceful there
But in the morning air
It falls to earth, just like a lovers tear.
Is my happiness just the dream of a fool then,
Dreamt while gazing in my lovers eyes?
And just like the night, will it pass away?
Oh, see the dawn is upon us, whisper softly now so then
Shell wake up in the joyful light of morning
And stir my heart with kisses once again.
Though sadness lingers on
Sweet sadness lingers on

And Jorge Ben doing it live in a record store! Note that he does the Dm7 on 10th fret.
Interesting way of doing the Dm7 = xx0565 or x5x565
From the version in the record store:
Sometimes does the Dm7 on 10th fret, and the G7 on 10th fret as G9?
Intro:
E0 E0 E3 E0 E5 Am7
A0 A0 A3 A0 A5 Dm7 [x2]
G7 Am7
Dm7 G7 Am7 [5x550x]
Chove chuva, contant is the rain.
Dm7 G7 Am7 A7+
Chove chove chuva, endless is the pain.
Dm7
As I stand here and remember.
G7 Am7 A7+
How once / our hearts were one.
Dm7
And every day was spring for me
G7 Am7
Till you left and took away the sun.
D9 Am7 D9 Am7
Now the days are lonely and the song of love is still
D9 Dm7 G7 Am7
They say that I'll forget you but I know I never will
Dm7 G7 Am7
And it hurts with such a pain, to be alone, and lonely in the rain
Dm7 G7* Am7 A7+ (* or swap Em7)
And it hurts with such a pain, to be alone, and lonely in the rain
[Repeat]
This from the Asian woman's version (uses D9 instead of Dm7):
She uses D9 instead of Dm7. Also, the Dm9 to G7 can be simply G7.
