Great mellow cover, David Lee Roth version, Louis Prima version, nice slow instrumental, Louis Armstrong version,

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

[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

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

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: stand up for your rights!

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.

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:

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

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.

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

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?

At Last by Etta James

G7+5 = 3x344x

Verses play same riff over and over: (G7+5) C (maj7) - Am7 - Dm7 - G7+5

At last

my love has come along,

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song.

At last

the skies above are blue;

My heart was wrapped in clover

The night I looked at you.

A thrill I've never known.

You smiled

and then the spell was cast,

And here we are in heaven,

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]

U just leave it all up 2 me, my love will be your food

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

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

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

In fr died of

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:

Fm7

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

Oh, why, oh, why?

Time, time

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?

Time, time

Same pattern during Cats rap:

Talk 2 me lover

Come on tell me what U taste

Didn't your mama tell U life is too good to waste?

Didn't she tell U

That Lovesexy was the glam of them all?

If U can hang, U can trip on it

U surely won't fall (Put your love down)

No side effects and

The feeling last 4-ever

Straight up - it tastes good

It makes U feel clever (Put your love down)

U kiss your enemies

Like U know U should

Then U jerk your body

Like a horny pony would (Put your love down)

U jerk your body like a horny pony would

Now run and tell your mama about that!

And while U're at it tell your papa about this

[Bridge: Dm6 - 10-x-9-10-10-10, strummed funky...]

Yeah-yeah

Put your love down there when u wanna get shot

Repeat verse 2

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

CHORUS

Ballad of Dorothy Parker by Prince

A lot of this is super unconfirmed. Really interesting chord progression. Original that I took this from is here.

I dont really like these voicings, but including from that link:

Fmj7-5 x x 3 2 0 0

Ab-5 x x 0 1 1 0

Fmaj7 x x 3 2 1 0

Em7/11 0 0 0 0 0 0

Em9 0 2 2 0 0 2

B+ x 2 1 0 0 2

Am7

Dorothy was a waitress

Ab-5 (or maybe Ab+ ?)

On the promenade

Em7 F#m7

She worked the night shift

Fmaj7 B (or B7?)

Dishwater blonde, tall and fine

Em (I like the little fill: Em7-Ebm7-Dm7 - E7orB+)

She got a lot of tips

Am7

Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff

Ab-5

In a violent room

Em7 F#m7

Fightin' with lover's past

Fmaj7 B

I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine

Em

Dorothy was fast

Am7

Well, I ordered - "Yeah,

Ab-5

let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't 2 hungry"

Em F#m7

Dorothy laughed

Fmaj7

She said - "It sounds like a real man 2 me

B

U're kinda cute,

Em

U wanna take a bath?"

Am7 Ab-5

Oh, I said - "Cool, but I'm leavin' my pants on

Em7

Cuz I'm kinda goin' with someone"

F#m7 Fmaj7

She said - "Sound like a real man 2 me

B Em

Mind if I turn on the radio?"

Bridge:

G

"Oh, my favorite song," she said

And it was Joni singing, "Help me, I think I'm falling"

(Ring) The phone rang and she said

"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"

Em7

Right then and there I knew I was through

[My pants were wet, they came off

But she didn't see the movie

Cuz she hadn't read the book first]

Am7 Ab-5

Instead she pretended she was blind

Em7 F#m7

An affliction brought on by a witch's curse

Fmaj7

Dorothy made me laugh

B Em

I felt much better so I went back 2 the violent room

Let me tell U what I did

Bridge (different ending)

G

I took another bubble bath

with my pants on

All the fighting stopped

G A

Next time I'll do it sooner

Am B+

This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker
