I think album key is D, but sounds good in Eb. Also fun to do it in the style of Chocolate Jesus, and use Ebm.

Eb Ab Eb Bb7

I m just mad about Saffron, she s just mad about me.

Eb Ab Bb7 Eb Ab

I m just mad about Frontine, she s just mad about me.

They call me Mellow Yellow, they call me Mellow Yellow,

[I dont understand how to do this verse, skip it?]

Born high forever to fly, wind velocity nil.

Born high forever to fly, if you want your cup I will fill

They call me Mellow Yellow, they call me Mellow Yellow,

They call me Mellow Yellow.

Electrical banana, is going to be a sudden grace,

Electrical banana is bound to be the very next phase.

They call me Mellow Yellow, they call me Mellow Yellow,

They call me Mellow Yellow.

(repeat first verse:)

I m just mad about Saffron, Saffron s mad about me.

I m just mad about Saffron, she s just mad about me.

They call me Mellow Yellow, they call me Mellow Yellow,

They call me Mellow Yellow.

Good cover 1,

G D7 G

Love, oh love oh, careless love

D7

Cant you see what careless loves doing to me?

G G7

She made me wrong,

C Cm

made me loose my happy home

G D7 G

It was love, oh love oh, careless love

You tied me to your apron string

You tied me to your apron string

You said that you loved me,

and it didnt mean a thing

It was love, oh love oh, careless love

Repeat last verse

Great version here, and studio here. Uke tab here.

Can duplicate the uke sound with some fingerpicking, no high E.

Can play the Am in 1st inversion 9th: x32200. Can play with just the middle 4 strings like a uke, and do the G as x2000x. Can do the chorus with those 4 strings too.

D6 = xx0202

Am

little bird on the high wire

G

wish you would content to offend

Am

peck a kiss upon my shoulder

G

leave a mark, and make me better

if you take half your most

i swear to you

i will cut my past

habits, and the end

i'd never start

A7

and i

D7 D6 Am

am absolutely sure

G

i'm all yours

happy songs, they've work for some

if i'm not wrong, this is my first one

now that i have stopped my crying

peck a kiss upon this smile

i am absolutely true

i love you

I think album key is G, but really nice in E. Just I-IV-V all the way through.

Mama's got a squeeze box

She wears on her chest

And when Daddy comes home

He never gets no rest

Daddy never sleeps at night

Well the kids don't eat

There's no escape from the music

In the whole damn street

Mama's got a squeeze box

Daddy never sleeps at night

E

She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out

Cause' she's playing all night

Come on and tease me like you do

I'm so in love with you

Mama's got a squeeze box

Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out

'Cause she's playing all night

And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box

Daddy never sleeps at night

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

E

Even with someone they love

Going from the D7 to the Adim is just adding the 1st fret on D string.

Ddim = xx1212. Or sounds nice as xx4545

A C#7 F#m F#m/E D7 Ddim

Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose,

Watch each card you play and play it slow.

I've been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years,

I hate to leave you sittin' there composing lonesome blues.

The wolves are runnin' round

The winter was so hard and cold

Froze ten feet 'neath the ground

Don't murder me, I beg of you

Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

I sat down to my supper

[chorus]

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.

My heart's out of the running,

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.

Reckoning album key is E, but they did it in D other times. Nice to hit the D7 at the end of the melody line, since the melody hits that C note

Nice to do it finger picky style, see voice memo.

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

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

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

Verses: Fm Ab Eb Bb

For intro, can hit that Fm6 hard...

All around me are familiar faces.

Worn out places. Worn out faces.

Going nowhere. Going nowhere.

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.

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...

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.

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.

Intro can do the Stairway to Heaven mambo on Dm 10th fret. Melody starts on the tonic (G 7th fret or D12)

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

Intro: (fast strum folky style)

Good ending chord: Dm6 or Dm7 with E added (10-12-10-10-10-12)

The Paragons do it in Cm, Massive Attack in Bbm. I like the Bbm better. Probably easier to play in Am, which is below this.

Intro:

Riley the cop would always stop

On the corner at Tony's stand.

He'd help himself to anything

On which he could lay his hand.

Riley did this quite often;

Plenty of fruit he would soften

'Til Tony got sore,

And inwardly swore.

Then he began to shout:

Verse 1:

D A

"Hey! Please no squeeza da banana!

Because when-a you do dat,

D

you make her flat.

A

Hey! Please no squeeza da banana,

'Cause when you squeeza da plum,

Chorus

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.
