Great chords. Pure 1978 goodness.
Can do as barres (Am on 5th fret, etc). Also for the Cake version feel dont have to do the maj7s.
Verse 1:
Am Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
G Cmaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5 (x2323x)
But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,
Esus4 E
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.
Am Dm
But now you're back, from outer space,
G Cmaj7
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
Fmaj7
I should have changed that stupid lock,
Bm7b5
I should have made you leave your key,
Esus4 E
If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.
[Chorus]:
Am Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
G Cmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Esus4 E
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
G Cmaj7
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
Esus4 E (Am)
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive...
[Titty Kazoo Time! Nice to do as barres (Am 5thfret, etc)]
Am Dm G Cmaj7, Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Esus4 E
Verse 2:
Am Dm
Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart,
G Cmaj7
Though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,
Esus4 E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
Am Dm
And you see me; somebody new,
G Cmaj7
I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free,
Esus4 E
Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for some-one who's loving me.
[Chorus]:
Am Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
G Cmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Esus4 E
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
G Cmaj7
And as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
Esus4 E (Am)
And I will survive, I-I-I will sur-vive.
Break:
Am, Dm
[Chorus]:
Am Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
G Cmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Esus4 E
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
No no, not I; I will sur-vive,
G Cmaj7
And as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
Esus4 E (Am)
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive...
Interlude:
Am Dm G Cmaj7, Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Esus4 E
[repeat verse 2]
[chorus]
Another way of writing it:
Am / Dm / G / Cmaj7 / Fmaj7 / Bm7b5 / Esus4 / E
Verse 1:
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.
But now you're back, from outer space,
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
I should have changed my fucking lock,
I would have made you leave your key,
If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.
[Chorus]:
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I; I will survive,
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
And I'll survive, I will survive, I will survive...
[interlude, one verse]
Verse 2:
Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart,
Though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
And you see me; somebody new,
I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free,
Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for someone who's loving me.
[Repeat Chorus to taste]
I like to play it with A7(5th fret) to D7 (C7 shape), but Joe Cocker and Traffic played it in C. See voice memo for a good beat and style of doing it.
Seems I've got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way it couldn't be
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key
Chorus:
Ya feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, ya feelin' Alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well boy you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I start to cry
I just can't waste my time I must keep dry
Got to stop believin' in all your lies
Cause there's too much to do before I die
[Chorus]
Don't get too lost in all I say
Like the time I really felt that way
But that was then and now it's today
Can't get off yet and so I'm here to stay
Till' someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name, yes, and a different face
[Chorus]
Original version, and Lighting Hopkins
That riff, in E. One cycle per para.
Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong
Come and love your daddy all night long
All right now, hey hey, all right
See the girl with the diamond ring
She knows how to shake that thing
All right now hey hey, hey hey
Tell your mama, tell your pa
I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas
Oh yes ma'm, you don't do right, don't do right
When you see me in misery
Come on baby, see about me
Now yeah, all right, all right, aw play it, boy
See the girl with the red dress on
She can do the Birdland all night long
B section:
Tell me what'd I say
Tell me what'd I say right now
I want to know
I want to know right now
You make me feel so good now
You make me feel so good now yeah
Nice to play as movable E (E = 079900, D = 057700)

Love, reign o'er me Rain on me, rain on me
Only love can bring the rain that makes you yearn to the sky
Only love can bring the rain that falls like tears from on high

Love....
Em G
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
C
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
Bsus B
In so much space
Em
And when you're out there, without care,
G
Yeah, I was out of touch
C
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
Bsus B
I just knew too much
Em
Does that make me crazy?
G
Does that make me crazy??
C
Does that make me crazy???
Bsus B
Probably.
E C
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
G Bsus B
But think twice, that's my only advice
Em G
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
C
Ha ha ha bless your soul
Bsus B
You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy!
I think you're crazy!
I think you're crazy,
Just like me.
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
G
Well I'm a runnin' down the road try'n to loosen my load
D C
I've got seven women on my mind
G D
Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me
C G
One says she's a friend of mine
Em C G
Take it easy, take it easy
Am C Em
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
C G
Lighten up while you still can
C G
Don't even try to understand
Am C G
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy
G
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona

Slowin' down to take a look at me

We may lose and we may win, though we may never be here again

Hong Kong Phooey, he's fan-riffic (gong!)
Can play in any key, but the original is F, to make it easier on the sax I think. Or do it in G fingerstyle, like this...
Verses (play barre 8th fret):
/ F Eb / F Eb / F Eb / F Eb /
Bridge (play the B7 with pinky on 7th):
/ Bb7 / F / Bb7 / G C7 / (Tequilla!)
For verses, can have 2nd guitar playing a D chord on 5th fret to 3rd fret.
During verses, nice to do this riff:

Calm the fuck down, and unclench your fist
I can't see you through the mist
How did it come to this?
Wipe the tears from inside your head.
Your eyes are looking dead.
Was it something I said?
Take back those words, I'm not as strong as I look.
Its my soul that you shook.
And my heart that you took.
Leave me in my misery, hopefully I'll forget you some day.
I can't stay.
I have to stop my soul's decay.
You've taken all my dignity, its clear to me that this ain't child's play.
I'll be on my way.
Before my world turns grey.
Hey! Hey you! Yes you standing there.
Is this fair? [?]
Oh would you give me care?
Hey! Hey you! Yes you with the smile.
Would you take me under your wing for awhile?
Mmmm Mmmmm

G A7
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown, the baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7 C7 D7 C7 G D7
Badder than old King Kong, And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Now, Leroy, he a gambler, and he like his fancy clothes.
And he like to wave diamond rings in front of everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental. He got an Eldorado too.
He got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun, he got a razor in his shoe.
[Chorus]
Well, Friday 'bout a week ago, Leroy's shootin' dice.
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris, and oh, that girl look nice
Well, he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began.
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson 'bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man
[Chorus]
Well, the two men took to fightin', and when they pulled them from the floor,
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.
[Chorus x 2]
Outro:
B7 C
Yes, you were badder than old King Kong
D7 C7 G
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Satisfied and Tickled Too
Good version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L21P75dw-RM
Ab
Baby now I'm satisfied, and tickled too
Eb
Baby just to know that I'm in love with you
[x2]
Chorus:
Baby now... I been...
I am..... You got me....
You like me... You keep me...
You want me.... Pray god you got me!
Honey, I'm going downtown, with my hat caved in
I'm coming back home with a pocket full of tin
[x2]
Well, the little red hen said to the little red rooster
Rooster, you don't come round my chicken shack as much as you used to.
[x2]
And I ain't been... No I ain't....
Uh oh, no nobody been here, not since you was here last....
Put your arm around me baby, like you circle around the sun [?]

There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two.
Am7 D7
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy,
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 or Em7 A7
And no good, I suppose it could be true,
D7 G
But there are worse things I could do.
Am Am/G Fmaj7
I could flirt with all the guys,
Bm7b5 E7
Smile at them and bat my eyes.
Am7
Press against them when we dance,
D7 Gmaj7
Make them think they stand a chance,
Em7 A7
Then refuse to see it through.
D7 G
That's a thing I'd never do.
Gm Cm7 Cm7/A# F7
I could stay home every night,
A#maj7 D#maj7
Wait around for Mr. Right.

Take cold showers every day,
Cm7/Bb D7
And throw my life away,

On a dream that won't come true.

I could hurt someone like me,

Out of spite or jealousy.

For you were my thrill, on Blueberry Hill
