On the south side of town

E7

You could look

Linda Ronstadt album version, warren and david lindly doing it in E. And another great Warren Zevon version, prob my favorite.

And I'm there with you in Ensenada

C

And I'm here in Echo Park

Chorus:

Carmelita, hold me tighter

C F

I think I'm sinking down

C G7

And I'm all strung out on heroin

On the outskirts of town

Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire

With my pearl handled deck

The county won't give me no more methadone

And they cut off your welfare check

Chorus

[titty kazoo time]

Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson (Zevon sings pawned by Smith Corona)

And I went to meet my man

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street

At the Pioneer Chicken stand

Chorus x 2

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 G:

G#dim = 4x343x (that chord I like...)

A#dim = x12020 (or 6x565x)

Gaug = 3xx443 (or could play that B = 7x788x)

C6 = x35555

Intro (can play a few times, sounds so nice with a groove)

Am9 (x0x988) - C (x0x553) - D7 (climb up)

A section:

D (xx0775) D#dim (x6x575) [Em11 (x7x785) A13 (xx5677 - xx5667 - xx5657 from brazilian riff)]

Your kisses are worth waitin' for

Bm7 (7x775x - 6x675x) Am7 (5x553x - 4x443x)

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

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

Cover in A, like I like, from georgiarose16

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

John Lennon said in 1980: "[this song] was me, India again. I couldn't sleep, I'm meditating all day and couldn't sleep at night. The story is that. One of my favourite tracks. I just like the sound of it, and I sing it well

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.

G C 2x

Verse1:

G C G C G

I've got every reason on earth to be mad,

C G C D7

cause I just lost the only girl I had

C7

And if I could get my way, Id get myself locked up today.

G D7 G

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

Verse2:

G C G C G

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

C7

Yes I'm gonna break 'em in two,

and show you what your lovin man can do;

G D7 G

until then I'll cry instead.

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

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

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

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:

Cmaj7 B7 / Bbmaj7 A7 / Ab7 G7 / Cmaj7 F13 [x2]

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

Go Johnny go

Go Johnny go

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

Go Johnny go

Go Johnny go

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

Go Johnny go

Go Johnny go

Go Johnny go

Johnny B. Goode

great cover, in C#

album key is E, but that starts on E4, off. Doing in B instead. Sounds great in C# too, see that cover, and note how he sings the chorus to keep from going too high.

Keeps us from the [Cm]stark

All that you [Cm]feel

Is tran[Fm]quillity [G]

(arpeggiate the chord here?)

[D#]There is a star in the [G#]sky

[Fm]Guiding my way with its [G]light

[D#]And in the glow of the [G#]moon

[Fm]Know my deliverance [G]will come soon

[Am]I'm waiting for the night...

[D#]There is the sound in the [G#]calm

[Fm]Someone is coming to [G]harm

[D#]I press my hands to my [G#]ears

[Fm]It's easier here just to forget [G]fear

The world seemed rose-tinded

[G]And angels appeared to [Cm]descend

[Fm]To my surprise

With half-closed eyes

Things [G]looked even better

Than they were opened

Uke version

Melody starts on the tonic (D string 2nd fret)

E5

Sitting here wishing on the cement floor

G5 E5

Just wishing that I had just something you wore

G5 E5 G5 E5

I put it on when I get lonely

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

Am - C - D - E

Am - C - D - E
