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]

Feelin' Alright by Traffic

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]

Whatd I Say by Ray Charles

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

Love Rein Oer Me

Interesting turotial

Nice to play as movable E (E = 079900, D = 057700)

Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Em/B Bsus4 B B7

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

[repeat chorus]

Bridge (see that video, aroun d8 minute mark)

G Gsus4/A

On the dry and dusty road

G Gsus4/A

The nights we spent apart alone

G Gsus4/A

I need to get back home

E A/E B/E A/E

To cool, cool rain

I can't sleep and I lay and I think, the night is hot and black as ink

Oh, god, I need a drink of cool, cool rain

[repeat chorus]

Love....

Crazy by Gnarles Barkeley

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

"Here I come to save the day"

D7 (or F#dim - D7) G

That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way.

Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right

E7 Am (or A7?)

Mighty Mouse will join the fight.

On the sea or on the land,

D7 G

He gets the situation well in hand.

[skipping the bridge]

[No sir,] We're not worrying at all...

E7 Am

We're just listening for his call.

"Here I come to save the day!"

D7 G

That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way.

Hong Kong Fooey Theme

Sublime do it in Dm, original is Cm. Play as barre on 3rd fret so the bass can go from E3 E7 A3.

Cm

Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy.

G

Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye.

Cm

He's got style, a groovy style,

and a car that just won't stop.

When the going gets rough, he's super tough,

G

with a Hong Kong Phooey chop (Hi-Ya!)

Cm

Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy.

G

Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye.

Chik chong, chiki chong, chiki chakka, chik chong.

Chika bak chak chakkin' and a bow wow wow.

Cm6 (nice ending)

Hong Kong Phooey, he's fan-riffic (gong!)

Tequilla by The Champs

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:

Grey by Alice Phoebe Lou

Her amazing live version

Ab (xx6544) / Cm / Bm / Fm

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?

Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce

G A7

Well, the south side of Chicago, is the baddest part of town

B7 C7 D7 C7 G D7

And if you go down there you better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.

G A7

Now, Leroy more than trouble, you see he stand about 'bout six foot four.

B7 C7 D7 C7 G D7

All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover.", all the men just call him "sir".

Chorus:

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 [?]

[main chorus]

There Are Worse Things I Could Do from Grease

Soundtrack key is G (and Glee version), but thats pretty high or low for me. This is the key from the songbook I bought, oddly. Works much better for me. The songbook has the sheetmusic if needed.

keywords: jazz

Intro: arpegiate G13 (10 9 10 10 12)

Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 Bm7b5 E7

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.

Cm

Take cold showers every day,

Cm7/Bb D7

And throw my life away,

D/F# G7sus G7

On a dream that won't come true.

Am Am/G Fmaj7

I could hurt someone like me,

Bm7b5 E7

Out of spite or jealousy.

Amaj7

I dont steal and I don't lie,

F#m7 Bm7b5

But I can feel and I can cry.

E7 Am Am/G Fmaj7

A fact I'll bet you never knew.

Bm7b5 G7

But to cry in front of you,

C F Fm6 C6/9 (arpegiate)

That's the worse thing I could do.

Your future's so unclear now,

After spending all that dough to have the doctor

E C#m F#m7 B

Baby get moving, why keep your feeble hopes alive

E C#m A B

What are you proving? You've got the dream, but not the drive

If you go for your diploma, you could join the steno pool

[progression goes quickly here]

E C#m F#m7 B E

Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school

E / C#m / Bb11 / C [modulation]

F Dm Gm7 C

Beauty school drop-out, it's about time you knew the score

Well they couldn't teach you anything, you think you're such a looker

Am Dm Gm C

But no customer would go to you, unless she was a hooker

[swirly interlude]

F Dm Gm7 C

Baby don't sweat it, you're not cut out to hold a job

F Dm A# C

Better forget it, who wants their hair done by a slob

F F+

Now your bangs are curled, your lashes twirled,

A# D#9

But still the world is cruel

F Dm Gm7 C F C7

Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school

F Dm Gm7 C7

Baby don't blow it, don't put my good advice to shame

F Dm A# C

Baby you know it, Even Dear Abby'd say the same

Gotta be goin' to that maltshop in the sky
