We starve, look at one another, short of breath

G

Walking proudly in our winter coats

Wearing smells from laboratories

Am C Am E7

Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy

Am

Listening for the new told lies

F C

With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Am

Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of

G

Greatness, who knows what stands in front of

Am C

Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space

Am E7

Silence tells me secretly

Am

Everything

F C

Everythi-i-i-ing

Manchester, England, England

Manchester, England, England

Across the Atlantic Sea

And I'm a genius, genius

I believe in God

And I believe that God believes in Claude

That's me, that's me, that's me

We starve, look at one another, short of breath

Walking proudly in our winter coats

Wearing smells from laboratories

Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy

Listening for the new told lies

With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar

Life is around you and in you

Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in

I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds

Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around

CHORUS:

D

Set out runnin' but I take my time

Am

a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

D

If I get home before day light

Am D [bass D up to G to restart riff]

I just might get some sleep tonight

Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills

I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills

Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there

took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air

BRIDGE:

D

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night

C/G

The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight

D

Second one is prison, baby, the shefiff's on my trail

Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee

First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me

Album key is E (E-C#m-Ab-A). I like doing it in C.

Chords are C-Am-E-F, repeated over and over.

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Your head'll collapse

If there's nothing in it

And you'll ask yourself

Chorus:

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Traveling in a fried-out combie

On a hippie trail, head full of zombie

Where beer does flow and men plunder

F#m E F#m D E

Lying in a den in Bombay

With a slack jaw, and not much to say

I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me

Because I come from the land of plenty?"

And he said,

Good tutorial here.

D (x57700) D/C# (x47700)

I can't get to sleep

C (x35500) C/B (x25500)

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications

Especially at night

I worry over situations

I know will be alright

Perhaps it's just imagination

Chorus:

Bm A Asus4

Day after day it reappears

Bm A A7

Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear

F#sus4 F# G A Asus4

Ghosts appear and fade away

[Come back another day]

D D/C#

Alone between the sheets

C C/B

Only brings exasperation

It's time to walk the streets

Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights

And though there's little variation

It nullifies the night

From overkill

So I'm walkin down the street with a dollar in my hand

I've been lookin' for a woman, sweet mama, ain't got no man.

The girl I love, she's sweet and true,

And the dress she wears, sweet mama, it's pink and blue,

She brings me coffee, she brings me tea,

She brings me 'bout every damm thing but the jailhouse keys.

Home, home at the shack Where the tides either rage or are slack We'll save some poor bloke With the mighty shrimp boat And hope the favors returned back. Home, home on the bay Where the cod and the halibut play Where we change Ethan's luck By him catching a duck But for Razz, well he'll just have to wait Home home at the Marriott Where the nightlife is always hot The dinner bell's ringin' Then the Calypso band's swingin' Their coconut bottoms and tops Seawall living is great for your health A life of real friends and true wealth But to feel like a King In the hot spring You have to dig it yourself! Where winds up! is heard, those are sailing words, Ill see the Coast Guard a bit later today. When surfs up! is heard, those are encouraging words, Play in the mouth

Just hold me tight and put out the light,

'Cause I don't want to go home.

[D] You put a spell on me, [E] I'm right where you want me to be.

[Chorus]

E C#m F#m B (same each line)

(Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo-doot.)

(repeat a few times)

[D] And if you'll let me stay, [E] We'll dance our lives away.

[Chorus]

Jesse Stone version, Louis Jordan version

Every verse has the same pattern, except the bridge.I also really like doing it in A.

Bb Eb

Down in Arkansas, they serve you coleslaw

Bb F

Chopped up finer than a bale of straw

When you crunch and gnaw, a bunch of coleslaw

Keep chew-chewin like a cross cut saw

Exercise you jaw, by eatin coleslaw

Best ol goodness that you ever saw

You can break no law, by wantin coleslaw

It ain't nothin but some cabbage raw

Bridge:

[A] It can't be beat, just the simplest of a treat

Its fine with meat, or with anything you eat

Your [F (or B)] chops flip flop, you'll enjoying every drop

Your teeth go bop, [F7] you'll never stop

Yes in Arkansas, they serve you coleslaw

That's good strategy without a flaw

It's a cinch to draw, a plate of coleslaw

It ain't nothin but some cabbage raw

[Bridge and verses to end and repeat stuff to taste]

Nice acoustic version by Radiohead, and studio version

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long

Bb(6) F(1)

People ask me when will you grow up to be a man

-->C(8) Bb(6) F F/E...

But all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams

I loved you then as I love you still

Though I put you on a pedestal, I put you on the pill

I don't feel bad about letting you go

I just feel bad about letting you know

Chorus:

Bb(6) Am(5) (or Bb/A?) F(1)

I don't want to change the world

Bb Am C Csus4 C

I'm just looking for another girl

I don't want to change the world

I'm not looking for A New England

Bb C F

I'm just looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me

but that was bloody yesterday

I can't survive on what you send

Everytime you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night

I wished on them but they were only sattelites

Is It wrong to wish on space hardware?

I wish I wish I wish you'd care

[Chorus]

ends up with F(8fr)/C(8)/Bb(6)/C(8). last chord is an Fmaj7.

Early acoustic bowie version, and the great Seu Jorse version, and the AMAZING Gail Dorsey version and her doing it again.

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good

with Wierd and Gilly and the Spiders from Mars.

G Em (Seu: Em7 with E2 to E0 on high)

He played it left hand, but made it too far

A (or A7 or Am7) C

became the special man, and we were Ziggy's band.

G Bm

Ziggy really sang, with screwed up eyes and

C D

screwed down hairdo like some cat from Japan.

G Em

He could lick 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hang.

A C

He came on so loaded man, well hung and snow-white tan.

(Can do as barres going down from 5th fret, or like Babe Im Going To Leave You)

Am G F F* F F* F F* F G

But where were the spiders,

while the fly tried to break our balls.

Just the beer light to guide us.

And so we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands.

G Bm

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that

we were voodoo and the kid was just crass.

G Em

He was the nazz with God-given ass.

A C

He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar.

Am G F F* F F* F F* F G

Making love with his ego,

Ziggy sucked up into his mind

Like a leper messiah.

When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band.

Just lyrics:

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Wierd and Gilly,

And The Spiders from Mars.

He played it left hand, but made it too far,

Became the special man,

Then we were Ziggy's Band.

Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo

Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling

He could leave 'em to hang

He came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.

So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls?

One of those bells that now and then rings,

Just one of those things.

It was just one of those nights,

Just one of those fabulous flights,

A trip to the moon on gossamer wings,

C G7 C

Just one of those things

[the bridge is way unconfirmed and wrong i think]

If we'd thought a bit

When we started painting the town,

We'd have been aware

[verse 1 then last verse]

Intro:

/ G E7 / A7 D7 / x2

/ G / G /

(or can do the / G Bbdim / Am7 D7 / x2)

(or first verse pattern)

G B7 E7

Well, way down yonder in Louisville, lived a cat named Big Bad Bill.

A7 D7 G E7 (or Bbdim) A7 (or Am7) D7

I want to tell ya, oh the cat was rough and tough, he would strut his stuff.

G B7 E7

Had the whole town scared to death. When he walked by they all held their breath,

A7 D7 C#7 (xx0101) D7

He's a fighting man, sure enough.

C E7 A7 Am7 D7 Daug (xx0312)

Well now, Bill took himself a wife. Now he leads a different life.

G D7 G E7 A7 D7

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now.

G B7

Married life done changed him somehow,

C (or C7) C#dim (8x787x)

He's the man that they all used to fear,

G E7

Now they all call him Sweet Papa Willy Dear

A7 D7 Daug

Stronger than Samson, I declare, 'til a brown [or soft] skinned woman bobbed his hair.

G D7 G E7 A7 D7

Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore.

G B7

He's doin' the dishes and moppin' up that floor.

C7 C#dim

Well, he used to spend his evenings looking for a fight.

G E7

Now, he's gotta see that sweet woman every night.

A7 D7 G (nice fill, slide it down: G - F# - F - E7)

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William, now

Ending:

A7 D7 G

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William, now

(He's doin' the [E7] dishes!)

A7 D7 G

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William, now

(Moppin' up that [E7] floor!)

A7 D7 G

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William, now

Great ending (see vid): G-F#-G-F# G7 or G Beatles

Album is Bb.

A B7

It's astounding, time is fleeting

G D A B7

madness takes its toll. But listen closely, not for very much longer

G D A

I've got to keep control.

B G D A

I remember doing the Time Warp, drinking those moments when

B

the blackness would hit me, and the void would be calling...

Chorus:

F C G D A

Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2)

E A

It's just a jump to the left and then a step to the right

E A

With your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight

D A

But it's the pelvic thrust, that really drives you insane

F C G D A

Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2)

A B G D A

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me! So you can't see me, no not at all.

B

In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention,

G D A

Well secluded, I'll see all.

B

With a bit of a mind flip, you're into the time slip

G D A

Nothing can ever be the same

B

You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation!

F C G D A

Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2)

Well I was tapping down the street just-a having a think

A7 D

When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink, well it shook me up,

A

it took me by surprise, he had a pick-up truck and the devil's eyes,

E D A

He stared at me and I felt a change, Time meant nothing never would again.

[Chorus]

Versions are here in C (easy), D (a bit high) and F. I like the C.

C Cmaj7

Raindrops keep falling on my head

C7 F Em7

and just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,

A7 Em7 A7 Dm7 G7

nothing seems to fit, Those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'

C Cmaj7

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun,

C7 F Em7

and I said I didn't like the way he got things done

A7 Em7 A7 Dm7 G7

Sleepin' on the job, Those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'

Bridge:

G7 C Cmaj7

But there's one thing I know,

F G Em7

the blues they send to meet me, won't defeat me

A7 Dm7 G7

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

C Cmaj7

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,

but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,

A7 Em7 A7 Dm7 G7

Cryin's not for me, cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

I was cutting the rug down at a place called The Jug

A

with a girl named Linda Lou

D

When in walked a man with a gun in his hand

E A

he was looking for you know who.

D

He said "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow,

G (walk down to E) E

watcha tryin' to proove?

D

Cuz' thatsa' my woman there and I'm a man who cares

A D

and this might be all for you" (I said "excuse me!")

D

I was scared and fearing for my life

A

shaking like a leaf on a tree

D

Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord,

E A

pointing that gun at me

D

I said "wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her,

G E

don't want no trouble with you

D

and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me

A D

ask one favour from you:

Chorus:

D

Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister,

A

gimme 3 steps toward the door?

D

Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister

A D

and you'll never see me no more."

D

well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray

A

and the water fell down to the floor

D

and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun,

E A

staring straight down a fourty-four.

D

Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou,

G E

and that's the break I was looking for

D

and you could hear me screaming a mile away

A D

as I was headed out toward the door.

She originally wrote it for Rod Stewart! Nice version here. Sounds good with all barres. Can conceivably play the D/C# as an F#m, but that loses a lot of flavor. Lots of bass movement here.

D D/C# (x4777x) C G

Dim all the lights, sweet darling, cause tonight is on its way,

D D/C# C G

turn up the old Victrola, gonna dance the night away.

C Bm C Bm

Love just don't come easy, no it seldom does,

A/C# D A/C# C

when you find the perfect love, let it fill you up.

/ C / C/B (x20010) / Bb / Asus (or A11) / A7

Hey baby...

[repeat first verse]

D D/C# C G

Dim all the lights, sweet darlin, cause tonight it's you and me,

D D/C# C G

no need to worry, sugar, cause it's for eternity.

Bridge1:

C C/B (x2555x) Bb F

Let yourself go freely of this I think you'll understand.

C C/B (x2555x) Bb F

I want to be your woman, if you'll be my man.

C C/B (x2555x) Bb F

Let yourself go freely and I'll show you things that you've dreamed of,

C G Bb F

don't think that youre dreaming, we've found the perfect love.

A11 (5x5433) A7

and I'm like a cup, so fill me up.

[verse 1]

Bridge2:

D F

Do what you want, you can use me all up,

G D

take me bottom to top, don't leave even one drop!

D F

Do it tonight, you know the moments so right,

G D

turn my brown body white, come on, dim all the lights.

A (A beatles)

you.

Nice to do it slow and mellow, like the voice note. Ben did it in A, but I like it in E and sparse, like voice memo.

Melody starts on the 3rd. [3rd] When [5th] the [6th] night

Whole song is I - vi - IV - V. I like it in E. Play the E as 076xxx, sounds nice.

E C#m

When the night has come, and the land is dark

A B E

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No I won't be afraid, oh I wont be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon, should tumble and fall

All the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

[Chorus]

[Chorus variation to end:]

So darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me

Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand

Stand by me

[Repeat to taste]

Nice to do slow and unzeppeliny, like Dread Zeppelin (alternate version), though not necessarily with the reggae beat. Can hear riff here.

Riff: F#m

Ah [C], ah [C#],

E

We come from the land of the ice and snow,

F#m

From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.

The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,

E F#m

To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

A B C

On we sweep with threshing oar, our only goal will be the western shore.

F#m (riff)

Ah, ah,

E

We come from the land of the ice and snow,

F#m

From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,

E

Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

A B C

On we sweep with threshing oar, our only goal will be the western shore.

[optional:]

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,

For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.

Nice in E blues. Good riff here or see voice memo. Sprinkle with 9th chords.

B7 A7

I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do

I got my black cat bones all cured and dry

I got my 4 leaf clover all hanging high

I got my Mojo working but it just won't work on you

I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do

I got my hoodoo ashes all around your bed

Got my black snake roots underneath your head

I got my Mojo working...

I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice

I got some red-hot tips I have to keep on ice

I got my rabbit foot, I know it's workin right

I got this strand of hair I'll keep day and night

Country party time! Original version, and a great cover

Verse 1:

A

Now, red solo cup is the best receptical

For barbecues, tailgates, fairs, and festivals

Bm7

And you, sir, do not have a pair of testicals

E A

If you prefer drinkin' from glass

A

Hey, red solo cup is cheap and disposable

And in fourteen years, they are decomposable

Bm7

And unlike my home, they are not foreclosable

E A

Freddy Mac can kiss my ass [Whoo!]

Chorus:

A

Red solo cup, I fill you up

Bm7 E

Let's have a party, lets have a party

A

I love you, red solo cup, I lift you up

Bm7 E

Proceed to party, proceed to party

Verse 2:

Now, I really love that you're easy to stack

But I really hate how you're easy to crack

'Cause when beer runs down the front of my back

Well, that, my friends, is quite yucky

But I have to admit that the ladies get smitten

Admirin' at how sharply my first name is written

On you with a Sharpie when I get to hittin'

on them to help me get lucky

[Chorus]

Verse 3:

Now, I've seen you in blue and I've seen you in yellow

But only you, red, will do for this fellow

'Cause you are the Abbot to my Costello

And you are the Fruit to my Loom

Hey red solo cup, you're more than just plastic

You're more than amazing, you're more than fantastic

And believe me that Im not the least bit sarcastic

When I look at you and say

Chorus, modulate up a step:

B

Red solo cup, I fill you up

C#m7 F#

Let's have a party, lets have a party

B

I love you, red solo cup, I lift you up

C#m7 F#

Proceed to party, proceed to party

Album is C I think, but I like it in A. Its the loweset key that the riff still works, too.

A E A

Early in the evenin' just about supper time

E A

Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind

D [F# note] A

Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up

E A

Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

[Chorus]

D A E A

Down on the corner, out in the street

D A

Willy and the Poorboys are playin'

E A

Bring a nickel; tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile

Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while

Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo

Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo. Down on the corner...

You don't need a penny just to hang around

But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?

Over on the corner there's a happy noise

People come from all around to watch the magic boy

Original version, and funny uke version

For verses, slide back and forth between the E (barre 7th fret) and the C (barre 3rd fret), hitting the Eb and D.

Great recent live version, and the original

Starting note is low B (A string 2nd fret)

Intro and verse pattern is an Em with a E3 - E0 riff. Can play just as E5. Good example here.

Em

I need someone, a person to talk to, someone who'd care to love

C/G Em

Could it be you, could it be you

Situation gets rough, then I start to panic

It's not enough, it's just a habit

C Em

Hey kid you're sick, darling this is it

[Chorus (satrting note D2)]

C D C

You can all just kiss off into the air

Behind my back I can see them stare

They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind

They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time (yeah yeah) [sing G0 note]

Yeah they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)

They do it all the time (do it all the time)

They do it all the time (do it all the time)

They do it all the time, do it all the tiiiiiiiime

[Verse 2 (starting note open G string)]

Em

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record

C

Oh yeah, well don't get so distressed

Em

Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed

[jam off Em. Fun to move the Em up to 4th fret then to 7th. Or A string jam.]

[Bridge]

Em

I take one, one, one 'cause you left me

And two, two, two for my family

And three, three, three for my heartache

And four, four, four for my headaches

And five [note D2], five, five for my lonely

And six, six, six for my sorrow

And seven, seven [note open B] for n'n'no tomorrow

And eight, eight, I forget what 8 was for

but nine, nine, nine for a lost god

Ten, ten [note D2], ten, ten, for everything everything everything everything

Verse 1:

G C G C G C G

When I'm a walkin' I strut my stuff, then I'm so strung out.

I'm high as a kite, I just might stop to check you out.

Chorus:

Em C/G

Let me go on, like a blister in the sun.

Em C/G D

Let me go on, big hands I know your the one.

Verse 2:

Body beats, I stain my sheets. I don't even know why.

My girlfriend she at the end, she is starting to cry.

Chorus

Album key is F, which is great, especially on uke. They sometimes do it live in G.

F Bb C Bb [fill]

Some people call me the space cowboy [yeah]

Some call me the gangster of love

Some people call me Maurice

Cause I speak of the pompitous of love

People talk about me, baby

Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong

Well, don't you worry baby

Don't worry

Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

[Chorus]

Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner

I'm a lover, and I'm a sinner

I play my music in the sun

I'm a joker, I'm a smoker

I'm a midnight toker, I sure don't want to hurt no one

I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover

And I'm a sinner, I play my music in the sun

I'm a joker, I'm a smoker

I'm a midnight toker, I get my lovin' on the run Wooo wooooo

You're the cutest thing that I ever did see

I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree

Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time

[chorus]

People keep talking about me baby

You're the cutest thing I ever did see

Really love your peaches want to shake your tree

Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time

Come on baby and I'll show you a good time

Great tutorial here and another super R&B style one here, nice cover here

During strum pattern 1, can play the A5 as 577xxx and the G5 as 377xxx, with two finger barre. Sounds nice and percussive that way.

And can play the Dm7 as x00565. And for the chorus, can do the D with an A bass.

For strum pattern 1, can do a xx777x - xx555x riff after the second tick.

Great alternative way to play the chorus, maybe use an ending?
