Paroles et Musique de Francis CABREL
F# F#maj7
Elle te fera changer la course des nuages,
F# F#maj7
Balayer tes projets, vieillir bien avant l' ge,
F# F#maj7 G#m
Tu la perdras souvent dans la vapeur des ports,
G#m7 B
C'est crit...
Elle rentrera bless e dans les parfums d'un autre,

Tu t'entendras hurler que les diables l'emporte!
Elle voudra que tu pardonnes et tu pardonneras,
C'est crit...

Elle n'en sort plus de ta m moire,
C#
Ni la nuit ni le jour,
F# F#maj7 B
Elle danse derri
C#
Et toi tu cherches et tu cours.
Tu prieras jusq'aux heures o personne n' coute,

Tu videras tous les bars qu'elle mettra sur ta route,
T'en passeras des nuits regarder dehors,
C'est crit...

Elle danse derri

Mais, y a pas d'amour sans histoire,

Et tu r ves; tu r ves.

Qu'est ce qu'elle r ve? Qui elle voit?
Et ces cordes qu'elle t'enroule autour des bras!
Qu'est ce qu'elle aime?
Je t' couterai me dire ses soupirs; ses dentelles;

Qu' bien y r fl chir, elle n'est plus vraiment belle!
Que d j pass par des moments plus fort,

Elle danse derri
Mais, y a pas d'amour sans histoire,
Et tu r ves; tu r ves.

Elle dqnse derrri
Et moi j'ai connu la m me histoire!

Depuis, je comptes les jours

Depuis le [Dm]temps que je patiente dans cette [F]chambre noire

J'entends qu'on [C]s'amuse et qu'on chante au bout du [Bbadd9]couloir.
Quelqu'un a [Dm]touche le verrou et j'ai plong[F]e vers le grand jour
J'ai vu les [C]fanfares, les barrieres et les gens [Bbadd9]autour.

Dans les premi[Dm]ers moments j'ai cru qu'il fallait [F]seulement se defendre
Mais cette [C]place est sans issue, je commence a [Bbadd9]comprendre.
Il ont ref[Dm]erme derriere moi, ils ont eu [F]peur que je recule
Je vais bien [C]finir par l'avoir cette [Bbadd9]danseuse ridicule.
[Dm] [F] Est-ce que ce monde est [C]serieux? [Bbadd9]

Andalou[Dm]sie je me souviens, les prairies [F]bordees de cactus.

Je ne vais pas trem[C]bler devant ce pantin, ce [Bbadd9]minus!
Je vais l'attraper lu[Dm]i et son chapeau, les faire tour[F]ner comme un soleil
Ce soir la [C]femme du torero dormira [Bbadd9]sur ses deux oreilles.

{c:Pont}

J'en ai pour[Cadd9]suivi des fantomes, presque touche leurs[Dm] balerines.[Dsus4] [Dm]
Ils ont frap[Bbadd9]pe fort dans mon coup pour que je [A]m'incline. [Asus4] [A]
Ils sortent d'[Bbadd9]ou ces acrobates,[Cadd9] avec leurs costumes de [Dm]papier?[Dsus4] [Dm]
Je n'ai ja[Bbadd9]mais appris a me battre contre des [Cadd9]poupees. [Bbadd9] [Bbadd9]
[Dm] [F] [C] [Bbadd9]
Sentir le [Dm]sable sous ma tete, c'est fou comme [F]ca peut faire du bien
J'ai prie [C]pour que tout s'arrete, Andalousie [Bbadd9]je me souviens.
Je les entends [Dm]rire comme je rale, je les vois danser [F]comme je succombe
Je ne pensais pas [C]qu'on puisse autant s'amuser au[Bbadd9]tour d'une tombe.

Si si Hombre
Baila baila
Hay que bailar de nuevo
Y mataremos otros
Otras vidas, otros toros
Y mataremos otros
Venga venga
Venga, venga a bailar....

Subject: TAB: Elle ecoute by F.Cabrel
Title: Elle ecoute pousser les fleurs =09

By: Francis Cabrel
Album: Francis Cabrel - Cabrel Public
Track: 17 on CD
-chorus 1-
G C D G
Elle ecoute pousser les fleurs,
C D G =20
Au milieu du bruit des moteurs,
C D G C =20
Avec de l'eau de pluie, avec des parfums d'encens.
G C D G =20
Elle voyage de temps en temps.
-chorus 1-
Elle n'a jamais rien entendue,
Des chiens qui aboient dans la rue,
Elle fait du pain dor=E9 tous les jours a quatre heures,
Elle mene sa vie en couleur.
-chorus 2-
Em Bm=20
Elle collectionne, les odeurs de l'automne,
C D G
Et les brindilles de bois mort.
Em Bm
Et quand l'hiver arrive, elle ferme ses livres,
C D G C D G =20
Et puis, doucement, elle s'endort sur des tapis de laines,
C D G
Au milieu des poupees indiennes.
C D G C
Sur les ailes en duvet de ses deux pigeons blancs
G C D G
Jusqu'au premier jour du printemps.
-chorus 2-
Elle dit qu'elle va faire le tour de la terre
Et qu'elle sera rentree pour diner.
Les instants fragiles et les mots inutiles
Elle sait sait tout cela quand elle ecoute pousser les fleurs
Au milieu du bruit des moteurs
Et quand les autres s'emportent quand j'arrive a m'enfuir,
C'est chez elle que je vais dormir ... dormir
C D G C
Et c'est vrai que j'ai peur de lui faire un enfant ....
C D G C
Et c'est vrai que j'ai peur de lui faire un enfant ....

Je l'aime a mourir
typed by prj1@doc.ic.ac.uk
F
Moi je n'etais rien mais voila qu'aujourd'hui,
F/E
Je suis le gardien du sommeil des ses nuits,
F/D
Je l'aime a mourir,
Bb
Vous pouvez detruire tout ce qui vous plaira,
Bb/G
Elle n'a qu'a ouvrir l'espace de ses bras,
F/E
Pour tout reconstruire, pour tout reconstruire,
F/D
Je l'aime a mourir.
Elle a gommer les chiffres des horloges du quartier,

Elle a fait de ma vie des cocottes en papiers,
Des eclas de rire.
Elle a bati des ponts entre nous et le ciel,
Et nous les traversons a chaque qu'elle ne veut pas dormir,
Ne veut pas dormir je l'aime a mourir.
Elle a du faire toutes les guerres pour etre si forte aujourd'hui,

Elle a du faire toutes les guerres de la vie et l'amour aussi.
Elle vit de son mieux son reve d'orpheline,

Elle danse au millieu des forets qu'elle dessine,
Je l'aime a mourir.
Elle porte des rubans qu'elle laisse s'envoler,

Elle chante souvent que j'ai tort d'essayer,
De les retennir, de les retennir, je l'aime a mourir,
Pour monter dans sa grotte cache sous les toits,
Je dois clouer des notes a mes sabot de bois,
Je l'aime a mourir.
Je dois juste m'assoir, je ne dois pas parler,

Je ne dois rien vouloir, je dois juste essayer de lui appartenir,
De lui appartenir, je l'aime a mourir.
Elle a du faire toutes les guerres pour etre si forte aujourd'hui,

Elle a du faire toutes les guerres de la vie et l'amour aussi.

Song: Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai
[Intro] G D C Em
G
Mon enfant, nue sur les galets,
D
Le vent dans tes cheveux defaits,
C
Comme un printemps sur mon trajet,
Em
Un diamant tombe d'un coffret.
G
Seule la lumiere pourrait
D
Defaire nos reperes secrets
C
Ou mes doigts pris sur tes poignets,
Em
Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai...
C D
Quoi que tu fasses, l'amour est partout ou tu regardes
C
Dans les moindres recoins de l'espace,
D
Dans le moindre reve ou tu t'attardes
C
L'amour, comme s'il en pleuvait,
Em
Nu sur les galets...
Le ciel pretend qu'il te connant

Il est si beau c'est s{rement vrai.
Lui qui s'approche jamais -
Je l'ai vu pris dans tes filets.
Le monde a tellement de regrets

Tellement de choses qu'on promet.
Une seule pour laquelle je suis fait -
Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai...
Quoi que tu fasses, l'amour est partout ou tu regardes,

Dans les moindres recoins de l'espace,
Dans le moindre reve ou tu t'attardes.
L'amour, comme s'il en pleuvait,
Nu sur les galets...
G
On s'envolera du meme quai
D
Dans les yeux, les memes reflets,
C
Pour cette vie et celle d'apres
Em
Tu seras mon unique projet.
G
Je m'en irai poser tes portraits
D
A tous les plafonds de tous les palais,
C
Sur tous les murs que je trouverai
Em
Et juste en-dessous j'ecrirai
Em D
Que seule la lumiere pourrait...
C
Et mes doigts pris sur tes poignets,
Em
Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai....

Parce qu'avec ta petite voix,

Tes petites manies,

Tu as verse sur ma vie

Petite Marie, je t'attends transi
Sous une tuile de ton toit.
Le vent de la nuit froide
Me renvoie la ballade
Que j'avais ecrite pour toi;
Petite furie, tu dis que la vie

C'est une bague ` chaque doigt.
Au soleil de Floride,
Moi mes poches sont vides,
Et mes yeux pleurent de froid.

kaum das wir tanzen die freiheit feiern
Gm
marschiert er schon auf
Cm
der dicke riese betritt die buehne

und zeigt seinen bauch
oeffnet den rachen gespickt mit waffen

so glotzt er uns an
und die geschichte im neuen anzug
geht ihr'n alten gang

er ist das mass aller dinge
Gm
seine freiheit ist ein weg
Bb F
den haelt er frei von dem was ihn stoert

dann frist der riese was ihm im weg steht

und das brennt ihn aus
die trommeln schlagen in seinem magen
und brechen ihn auf

im bauch des riesen singt und tanzt
F Gm
im bauch des riesen waechst der widerstand

es frist der riese was ihm im weg steht
und das brennt ihn aus
die trommeln schlagen in seinem magen
und brechen ihn auf
er ist das mass aller dinge

seine freiheit ist ein hut
den traegt nur er wer ihn dabei stoert
bekommt's mit ihm zu tun

Esta es una hermosa cancion de Caifanes, espero que le entiendas en la parte

de los requintos. Estoy seguro de que hay un error en la parte del video,
ojala que alguien lo saque y me lo diga. Las notas entre parentesis son
para el teclado, con piano electrico en casi toda la cancion. La parte de
B<E es ir a B y bajar a E (B/A/G/F/E). La parte de teclados no esta sacada
con mucha emocion, es nadamas para que se tenga una idea. Casi todos los
requintos me los paso Javier, si no hubiera sido por el no la hubiera
escrito, y tambien le quiero agradecer a Leonardo que me permitiera poner
parte de su TAB en el mio, THX!
Escribeme de perdido para rayarmela:

( S. HERNANDEZ )
MUCHOS A~OS UNO CREE

QUE EL CAER ES LEVANTARSE
Y DE REPENTE,
YA NO TE PARAS...
QUE EL AMOR ES TEMPORAL

QUE TODO TE PUEDE PASAR
Y DE REPENTE,
ESTAS MUY SOLO.
AFUERA
AFUERA TU NO EXISTES, SOLO ADENTRO
AFUERA
AFUERA NO TE CUIDO SOLO ADENTRO
AFUERA
TE DESBARATA EL VIENTO SIN DUDARLO
AFUERA
NADIE ES NADA SOLO ADENTRO.
SIGUEN LOS A~OS Y UNO ESTA ESTA

CREYENDO QUE PUEDE REZAR
Y DE REPENTE,
YA TE PERDISTE.
Y UNO CREE QUE PUEDE CREER
Y TENER TODO EL PODER
Y DE REPENTE,
NO TIENES NADA.
AFUERA
AFUERA TU NO EXISTES, SOLO ADENTRO
AFUERA
AFUERA NO TE CUIDO SOLO ADENTRO
AFUERA
TE DESBARATA EL VIENTO SIN DUDARLO
AFUERA
NADIE ES NADA SOLO ADENTRO.
Coros: Cecilia Toussaint

Congas, Shaker: Lenny Castro
@ CANCION: MIEDO
( S. HERNANDEZ )
MIEDO
ES LO QUE DEBE TENER EL CIELO
SERA INVADIDO
POR AMANTES DELIRANTES POR UN BESO,
POR PROFETAS Y DEMENTES EXILIADOS.
MIEDO
ES LO QUE DEBE TENER LA VIDA
SERA ENFRENTADA
POR LOS PRESOS Y LOS BRUJOS SOLITARIOS,
POR LAS ANIMAS DE NI~OS ENJUICIADOS.
ANTES QUE MUERA,

DEJAME AMARTE EN VIDA
HASTA QUE EL CIELO SE CAIGA POR NOSOTROS.
ANTES QUE MUERA,
DEJAME AMARTE EN VIDA HASTA QUE EL SOL
SE ESCAPE CON LA LUNA.
MUERTE,
ABRAZARAS
A DEMONIOS HECHOS CARNE POR UN SUENIO,
A LOS CUERPOS HECHOS POLVO SIN JUSTICIA.
ANTES QUE MUERA,

DEJAME AMARTE EN VIDA,
HASTA QUE EL SOL
SE ESCAPE CON LA LUNA.
Guitarra-Violin: Alejandro
@ CANCION: AQUI NO ES ASI

( A.MARCOVICH, S.HERNANDEZ, A.ANDRE )
VIENES CAMINANDO
Y NO SABES TU DESTINO,
CONQUISTANDO SUE~OS
SUE~AS LLEGAR A SER DEIDAD.
SIGUES CAMINANDO
SOBRE VIEJOS TERRITORIOS,
INVONCANDO FUERZAS
QUE JAMAS ENTENDERAS...
Y VIENES DESDE ALLA,

DONDE NO SALE EL SOL,
DONDE NO HAY CALOR.
DONDE LA SANGRE
NUNCA SE SACRIFICO POR UN AMOR,
PERO AQUI NO ES ASI.
VIENES CAMINANDO
IGNORANDO SAGRADOS RITOS,
PISOTEANDO SABIOS TEMPLOS
DE AMOR ESPIRITUAL.
LARGAS VIDAS SIGUEN

VELANDO EL SUE~O DE UN VOLCAN,
PARA UN ALMA ETERNA
CADA PIEDRA ES UN ALTAR.
Y VIENES DESDE ALLA,

DONDE NO SALE EL SOL,
DONDE NO HAY CALOR.
DONDE LA SANGRE
NUNCA SE SACRIFICO POR UN AMOR,
PERO AQUI NO ES ASI.

@ CANCION: EL ANIMAL
( A.MARCOVICH, S.HERNANDEZ, A.ANDRE, F.FONG )
VOY A MANDAR HACER UN ANIMAL

CON PIEL DE HUMANO Y LAS MANOS DE LEON.
LE ENSE~ARE A ARA~AR, A LADRAR, A MASTICAR,
Y LE DIRE TODO LO QUE ESTA MUY MAL.
VOY A MANDAR HACER UN ANIMAL

QUE SE PAREZCA A TI, PERO QUE NO SEA IGUAL.
QUE TENGA GANAS DE ABORTAR SU SOMBRA, Y MAS
QUE PUEDA ANDAR POR LAS CALLES Y NO MIRAR ATRAS.
ESTARAN EN EL SUELO,
ESTARAN EN EL TECHO,
EN TU CAMA.
ESTARAN EN EL CIELO,
ESTARAN EN TUS PECHOS,
EN TU ALMOHADA.
VOY A MANDAR HACER OTRO ANIMAL

CON MAS AGALLAS Y MAS DIENTES PA' MASTICAR,
CON SANGRE HUMANA EN SUS OJOS, ELLOS SE IRAN
Y ME DIRAN TODO LO QUE ESTA MUY MAL.
ESTARAN EN EL SUELO,
ESTARAN EN EL TECHO,
EN TU CAMA.
ESTARAN EN EL CIELO,
ESTARAN EN TUS PECHOS,
EN TU ALMOHADA.
Violin electrico: Jerry Goodman
@ CANCION: AYER ME DIJO UN AVE

( S.HERNANDEZ )
AYER ME DIJO UN AVE QUE VOLARA

POR DONDE NO HAY ARDOR
QUE LO SUFRIDO NO RESUCITA EN SUE~OS
Y EN REZOS NUNCA MURIO.
QUE SAQUE EL AIRE DE MIS OJOS,

QUE ABRACE AL MIEDO CON TUS SUE~OS,
QUE SEA UN GUERRERO DE SANGRE,
PARA QUE NADIE TE HAGA DA~O.
AYER ME DIJO UN AVE QUE VOLARA

HASTA DESINTEGRARME,
QUE LA DISTANCIA NO ES CANSANCIO,
ES FUERZA
ERES TU....
QUE SAQUE EL AIRE DE MIS OJOS,

QUE ABRACE AL MIEDO CON TUS SUE~OS,
QUE SEA UN GUERRERO DE SANGRE,
PARA QUE NADIE TE HAGA DA~O
PARA QUE NADIE TE HAGA DA~O
PARA QUE NADIE TA HAGA DA~O.

@ CANCION: HASTA QUE DEJES DE RESPIRAR

( A.ANDRE, S.HERNANDEZ )
ANTES DE IRME DEJAME ELEVARTE,

TOCAR TUS SENOS HASTA LAS COSTILLAS,
SIENTE MIS DEDOS COMO UNA RARA ESENCIA,
SOBRE LAS AGUAS FLOTA TU MIEDO.
ENTRE LAS OLAS SE REMUEVEN TUS VICIOS,

HUNDE AL HOMBRE QUE NO TE REACCIONA,
ANTES DE ELEVARNOS DEJA TE DIGO
NO TENGAS, MIEDO TU ESTAS CONMIGO.
ANTES DEL SUE~O DEJAME ELEVARTE

TUS ORACIONES, TODOS TUS DESEOS,
HASTA QUE CALMES TU TEMPESTAD,
HASTA QUE DEJES DE RESPIRAR.
DEJAME EL VINO QUE CORRE EN TUS VENAS

DAME EL MANTO QUE TE CUBRE DE VIDA,
QUE NECESITO VERTE POR DENTRO
QUE NECESITO CAMBIAR DESDE ADENTRO.
YA NO TE MUEVAS PORQUE NO REACCIONO

MI ESPUMA TE ESTA REFRESCANDO,
MIRA, MIS MANOS DEJARAN DE TEMBLAR
CUANDO TU DEJES DE RESPIRAR.
ANTES DEL SUE~O DEJAME ELEVARTE

TUS ORACIONES, TODOS TUS DESEOS
HASTA QUE CALMES TU TEMPESTAD,
HASTA QUE DEJES DE RESPIRAR.
Programacion de percusiones: Alfonso

@ CANCION: AVIENTAME
( S.HERNANDEZ )
QUE TRISTE SE NOS FUE LA VIDA

ATRAS DEL CIELO NOS MIRAN LLORAR,
FUMANDO LUNAS A ESCONDIDAS
REVOLOTEANDO ENTRE VIEJAS PAREDES.
QUE TRISTE SE NOS FUE LA VIDA

LA LLUVIA ACIDA MOJABA OCTUBRE,
Y DE RODILLAS VUELAN LAMENTOS
DE ALGUNOS BUITRES, DE ALGUNOS CERDOS.
AVIENTAME,
AVIENTAME HASTA DONDE QUIERAS
Y LUEGO VEN A MIRAR COMO REVIVO.
AVIENTAME,
Y LUEGO VEN A MIRAR COMO NO MUERO,
COMO AGUANTO.
QUE TRISTES SENOS TIENE CARMELA,

EL SILICON LE HA ROTO EL CORAZON.
Y AHORA LLORA COMO ERNESTO,
QUE SE HA CASTRADO POR FALTA DE AMOR.
AVIENTAME,
Y LUEGO VEN A MIRAR COMO REVIVO.
AVIENTAME,
Y LUEGO VEN A MIRAR COMO NO MUERO.
AVIENTAME.
Congas, shakers y cencerro: Lenny Castro
@ CANCION: QUISIERA SER ALCOHOL

( S. HERNANDEZ )
SI MIS PLEGARIAS NO FUERAN

A LA VIRGEN,
SINO A TI...
QUE PENSARIAS,
QUE DIRIAS,
SI DE LA NOCHE
SOY UN PEDAZO
DE SUELO QUE FLOTA
ENTRE TUS SUE~OS.
COMO UNA PERLA
TE SACO DE LO OBSCURO,
TE LLAMO POR TU NOMBRE
Y DIGO QUE NO PUEDE SER...
QUISIERA SER ALCOHOL

PARA EVAPORARME EN TU INTERIOR
Y SABER LO QUE ES PASION,
Y SENTIR QUE SOY QUERIDO UNA VEZ...
SI ALGUN DIA
ME MIRAS ABRAZADO
DE TU SOMBRA,
NO ME SEPARES,
DEJAME SOLO,
SIN MOVIMIENTO,
COMO UNA LAGRIMA
QUE CORRE POR TU CUERPO
LAMIENDOTE TODA LA PIEL.
QUISIERA SER ALCOHOL

PARA EVAPORARME EN TU INTERIOR
Y SABER LO QUE ES PASION,
Y SENTIR QUE SOY QUERIDO UNA VEZ...
Bajo sin trastes: Stuart Hamm

Trompeta: Jerry Hey
@ CANCION: PERO NUNCA ME CAI

( S.HERNANDEZ, A.MARCOVICH )
CUANTAS NOCHES ME HE QUEDADO DORMIDO

EN EL FILO DEL TIEMPO,
A LA ORILLA DEL ABISMO..?
CUANTAS VECES HE QUERIDO SALIRME
DE LA RUINA DEL CUERPO
Y DESPERTAR EN TUS OJOS..?
CICATRIZANDONOS,
ARRIESGANDONOS,
AGUANTANDO MUTACION
DESANGRANDO LA RAZON.
PERO NO,
NUNCA ME CAI
NUNCA TE ARRASTRE,
SEGUIMOS AQUI.
CUANTAS VECES ME PERDI EN LA DISTANCIA

Y ME MIRABA DE LEJOS, COMO TE IBA PERDIENDO..?
CUANTAS VECES ME OLVIDE DE MIS OJOS
Y EN LO NEGRO ME HUNDIA, LLORANDO EN LO PROFUNDO..?
SABIENDO QUE
EL TIEMPO ES CRUEL,
NUNCA DUDAMOS POR VOLAR
COMO LAS AGUILAS QUE SE VAN.
PERO NO,
NUNCA ME CAI
NUNCA TE ARRASTRE
SEGUIMOS AQUI.
Armonica: Graham Mash

Violin electrico: Jerry Goodman
Pandero: Lenny Castro
@ CANCION: EL A~O DEL DRAGON

( S. HERNANDEZ )
SI EL A~O DEL DRAGON

FUERA MORTAL,
MAS ALLA DE LA VERDAD NO HABRIA PASION
MAS ALLA DE LA VERDAD NO HABRIA PASION.
SI EL OLVIDO ES TU CREENCIA,
DEJAME OLVIDARTE
EL MISTERIO ES MUDO, ES MAGICO
EL MISTERIO ES MUDO, ES MAGICO.
SI LA SOMBRA ES
TU UNICO ALIADO EN LA DISTANCIA,
NO HAY QUE CREER
QUE POR HUMANO ESTAS SALVADO
DEL ANIMA QUE SANGRA EN TI
DEL ANIMA QUE SANGRA EN TI.
SI LA NOCHE ES TU PLANETA
NO LE NIEGUES PROTECCION.
MAS ALLA DEL MIEDO ESTA LA PAZ
MAS ALLA DEL MIEDO ESTA LA PAZ.
LAS RATAS SON

DE CARNE Y HUESO, Y SUDAN SANGRE
IGUAL QUE AYER
LO UNICO VIVO ES LO QUE SIENTES
DEL ANIMA QUE SANGRA EN TI
DEL ANIMA QUE SANGRA EN TI.

@ CANCION: LA LLORONA
( S. HERNANDEZ )
DESDE EL FONDO DE LA TIERRA

FANTASMAS HUMANOS SE BUSCAN,
ALGUNOS OLVIDAN FRIO
OTROS NUNCA SE ENCUENTRAN.
HACEN TEMBLAR LA TIERRA,
TIEMBLAN SUE~OS,
TIEMBLA AMOR.
AY, NO QUIERO AMARTE LLORONA

AY, NO QUIERO LLORAR CONTIGO
AY, DEJAME VER TU PIEL
AY, DEJAME SER TU PIEL.
DEJAME AYUDARTE,
NA'MAS DIME COMO
Y ASI SERA.
DESDE EL FONDO DE LA TIERRA,

MAS ALLA DE LA EXISTENCIA,
FLOTAN ALMAS SOLAS
TODAS CRUCIFICADAS.
HOMBRES Y MUJERES LLORAN
POR UN AMOR
QUE NUNCA TUVIERON.
AY, NO QUIERO AMARTE LLORONA

AY, NO QUIERO LLORAR CONTIGO
AY, DEJAME VER TU PIEL
AY, DEJAME SER TU PIEL.
DEJAME AYUDARTE,
NA'MAS DIME COMO
Y ASI SERA...
Y ASI SERA...

Matenme porque me muero

--------------------------
Cuando me muera y me tengan que enterrar,

quiero que sea con una de tus fotografias,
para que no me de miedo estar abajo,
para que no se me olvide como es tu cara,
para imaginar que estoy contigo,
y sentirme un poquito vivo.
Matenme porque me muero,

matenme porque no puedo,
matenme porque me muero,
matenme porque no puedo.
Esta enfermedad es incurable,

esta enfermedad ni con un valium... -No!
Cuando me muera y me tengan que enterrar,

quiero que sea con dulces y no con piedras,
por si alguna vez me buscais,
estare eternamente lejos,
como para darte solo flores,
te guardare mil estrellas.
Matenme porque me muero,

matenme porque no puedo,
matenme porque me muero,
matenme porque no puedo.
Te estoy mirando
-------------------
Acercate. Juntando pieles formando sombras,

y olvidate de tus misterios de una razon.
Encierrame en tus suspiros en tus suenos,
y raptame; rompamos juntos esta nacion.
Empujame al abismo que hay en ti,

atrevete a hacer historias junto a mi,
ensename las cosas que hay y nunca entendi,
y dejame hacerlo solo como una vez,
y clavame en tu cabezera,
y dejame donde no me olvides.
Te estoy mirando; ya no hay materia;

es un vicio, es un habito,
te estoy mirando ya no hay materia;
es un vicio, es como un soplo al corazon,
al corazon.
Te estoy mirando; ya no hay materia;

es un vicio, es un habito,
te estoy mirando ya no hay materia;
es un vicio, es como un soplo al corazon,
al corazon.
La negra Tomasa
------------------
Estoy tan enamorado de la negra Tomasa,

que cuando se va de casa, triste me pongo.
Estoy tan enamorado de la negra Tomasa,
que cuando se va de casa triste me pongo.
Estoy tan enamorado de mi negra preciosa

-Ay! -Ay! -Ay!
Esa negra linda que me tiene loco,

que me come poquito a poco.
Estoy tan enamorado de la negra Tomasa

que cuando se va de casa, triste me pongo.
-Ay! -Ay! -Ay!

Esa negra linda que me tiene loco
que me come poquito a poco
Mi negra linda nunca me dejes,

hay mi negra linda nunca me dejes.
Cuentame tu vida
-------------------
Desde un tiempo para aca, veo solo fiscales,

como olor a alcohol que me hace llorar,
que me hace tumbarme al suelo y no parar
cuanto tiempo va a pasar al olvidar.
No se cuanto tiempo llevo hundido aqui,

ya no se ni como usar los pies,
ya no se que es lo que corre por mis venas
todo el cuerpo se me entumbe al respirar.
Cuentame tu vida, cuentamela toda,

dime si estoy vivo, si todavia respiro.
Veo perros que se arrastran al ladrar;

me acuesto en el suelo y me dan ganas de morder
esa angustia de tener seco el corazon.
Cuentame algo, que si no voy a enloquecer.


¨Sera por eso?

-----------------
Desde aquel dia me trajeron para aca

¨sera porque no me dejaba rasurar?
Ya no me hablan ni si quiera las hormigas.
¨sera porque no saben que ando por aqui?
Desde aquel dia no me he dejado tocar

solo mis unas me pueden acariciar.
No me he dejado de pintar en las paredes
¨sera porque las sombras me hacen olvidar?
Por eso me pongo abusado,
tomo la navaja y salgo a clavar.
¨Sera por eso que no me dejan salir?

¨Sera por eso que me dan electroshocks?
Ya no me duele ni si quiera la razon;

dicen que cuando duermo estoy mucho mejor.
Ya ni mis manos me creen lo que les platico,
y eso hace que yo me sienta muy mal;
por eso me pongo abusado
tomo la navaja y salgo a clavar.

¨Sera por eso que no tengo que temblar?
¨Sera por eso que no tengo que...?

¨Sera por eso que no tengo que temblar?
¨Sera por eso que no tengo que...?
Viento
---------
Prestame tu peine, y peiname el alma.
Desenredame, fuera de este mundo.
Dime que no estoy, sonandote.
Ensename, de que estamos hechos.
Que quiero habitar planetas, hasta ver uno vacio,
que quiero irme a vivir, pero que sea contigo.
Viento, amarranos.
Tiempo, detente muchos anos.
Viento, amarranos.
Prestame tu peine, y peiname el alma.

Purificame, no me abandones.
Prestame tu sueno, y duermeme.
Embrujame, volvamonos eternos.
Que quiero habitar planetas, hasta ver uno vacio,
que quiero irme a vivir, pero que sea contigo.
Viento, amarranos.
Viento, amarranos.
Viento, amarranos.
Viento...
Nunca me voy a transformar en ti

-----------------------------------
Te voy a dar todas mis cosas,

para que no te falte nada, corazon.
Te voy a dar todas mis venas
para que cures todas tus penas, corazon
Pero nunca me voy a transformar en ti,

pero nunca me voy a transformar en ti.
Me voy a convertir en todo,

me voy a conformar en modo;
me voy a convertir en todo,
me voy a transformar en lobo,
para aullarte la noche entera.
Pero nunca me voy a transformar en ti,

pero nunca me voy a transformar en ti.
En ti, en ti, en ti.
Perdi mi ojo de venado

-------------------------
Perdi mi ojo de venado, nadie me va a proteger;

vuelo mi cuerpo entre tinieblas.
Dona Macabra viene a ver,
por las noches me platica de la magia de la soledad,
me congelan las orejas, creo que me quieren llevar.
Hazme una limpia por favor, amor,

despojame de todo mal carnal,
quema mi ramo por favor, amor,
antes que yo te queme a ti, a ti.
Perdi mi ojo de venado, soy un ser de obscuridad;

perdi mi vida en un rosario, entre milagros de la tos;
por las noches me visitan, me hacen senas con la piel;
me congelan las orejas, creo que me quieren llevar.



Amanece
----------
Amanece, no se que hacer,

me levanto igual que ayer,
hace tiempo y todo sigue igual,
me pregunto ¨cuando cambiara?,
la distancia es el come y da (?)
ya no puedo respirar.
Nunca nadie me podra parar,

solo muetro me podran callar.
solo muerto me podran callar.
Es a veces que veo un color gris,

y me cuesta despertar,
la neurosis no se alejara.
pero nunca dejare de hablar


La bestia humana
-------------------
No creas que no me doy cuenta

de las cosas que no me dices,
de las formas que me has cambiado,
de las cosas que me has robado.

de que miras a otros huercos,
de que juegas con otras sombras,
y te esfumas cuando obscurese.

que tu lengua es una rapina,
que tus huesos me destrozan,
que tu cuerpo me incinera.
Me estas ensenando ha ser una bestia humana,

me estas ensenando ha ser una bestia humana.

que contigo me estoy pudriendo,
que contigo me da lepra,
que necesito un exorcismo.

me estas ensenando ha ser una bestia humana,

de las cosas que no me dices,
de las formas que me has cambiado,
de las cosas que me has quitado.

que contigo me estoy pudriendo,
que contigo me da lepra,
que necesito un exorcismo.

me estas ensenando ha ser una bestia humana,
Nada
-------
Siento frio, ya no escucho el corazon.

En silencio, asi todo se quedo.
Me has matado, eso tu lo sabes bien,
no lo digas, para que.
Nada, eres nada en mi.
Ya no es nuevo el vacio y la obscuridad.

a una cuerdes, siempre tu quieres ganar. (?)
Tus palabras ma han rasgado ya la piel,
no las grites, para que.
Nada, yo soy nada en ti.

Detras de ti
---------------
Voy detras de ti,

como un perro infeliz.
Voy detras de ti,
como una sombra vil.
Ya no quiero andar
detras de ti.
Voy detras de ti,

como nunca nadie fue.
Voy detras de ti,
como nunca nadie andara.
Ya no quiero andar
detras de ti
Nunca volteas,
nunca me miras;
ya no sabes quien anda
detras de ti.
Voy detras de ti,

recogiendote la piel
Voy recogiendo lagrimas
en un vaso de papel.
Ya no quiero andar
detras de ti
Nunca volteas,
nunca me miras;
ya no sabes quien anda
detras de ti
Antes de que nos olviden

---------------------------

haremos historia.
No andaremos de rodillas;
el alma no tiene la culpa.

rasgaremos paredes
y buscaremos restos;
no importa si fue nuestra vida.
nos evaporaremos en magueyes,
y subiremos hasta el cielo
y bajaremos con la lluvia.

romperemos jaulas,
y gritaremos la fuga;
no hay que condenar el alma.
Aunque tu me olvides,
te pondre en un altar de veladoras,
y en cada una pondre tu nombre,
y cuidare de tu alma.
Amen
Mira que la vida no es eterna

--------------------------------
Mira como te ha dejado esta vida

antes que pienses que vas a envejecer.
Mira como te ha dejado esta historia
antes que pienses que vas a enloquecer.
Mira que la vida no es eterna;

en cualquier momento nos olvida.
Mira como te cae todita la cabellera

antes que pienses que vas a enloquecer.
Mira como se te escurre todito el corazon;
y tu, y tu, y tu no haces nada.


De noche todos los gatos son pardos

--------------------------------------
Hay perros que no ladran,

pero te lamen los huesos.
Hay gatos que maullan,
hasta exprimir su vientre.
Hay gente que no ladra,

pero te exprime el alma.
Hay gente que te odia,
pero te lame las manos.
De noche todos los gatos

son pardos.
Pardo te duermo,
pardo te sueno.
-Asi!
Hay perros que defienden

hasta clavar colmillos.
Perro que ladra,
perro que ladra no muerde.
De noche todos los gatos

son pardos.
Pardo te duermo,
pardo te sueno.
Sombras en tiempos perdidos

------------------------------
Voy, a traves del cristal

microscopico de tu piel celular.
Cego incompleto terreno cruzado.
De esquina a esquina te pierdo.
De esquina a esquina te pierdo.
Junta tu rostro mojado con el mio.

Nunca me quites es embrujo tuyo.
Hay amor hazme creer que todo es verdad.
Hay amor hazme brincar sobre el mar.
Somos sombras
en tiempos perdidos.
Quiero romper el cristal

que empana mi cuerpo confuso, difuso.
Muerdo historias humanas
que nunca han sido comprendidas, olvidadas.
Junta tu rostro molido con el mio.

Nunca me lleves a templos perdidos.
Hay amor hazme creer que todo es verdad.
Hay amor hazme brincar sobre el mar.
Somos sombras
Somos sombras
El negro cosmico
-------------------
Estoy perdido entre las misas de Maria,

en una doctrina que no entiende libertades;
estoy cambiandome de fases escondidas;
estoy regado en la misma sobredosis.
Estoy perdido en las escamas de tu vida;

estoy quedandome sin sangre querida;
estoy hundido en las palabras sobrehumanas;
en que me digas que me crees y no crees,
nada.
Que voy a hacer,

si el cadaver no se olvida con la piel.
Que voy a hacer,
si el presente distorsiona mi razon.
Estoy perdido en un negro cosmico.

Que voy a hacer,
si el cadaver no se olvida con la piel.
Que voy a hacer,
si el presente distorsiona mi razon

La celula que explota

------------------------
Hay veces que no tengo ganas de verte;

hay veces que no quiero ni tocarte;
hay veces que quisiera matarte en un grito,
y olvidarme de esa imagen tuya,
pero no me atrevo.
Hay veces que no dejo de sonarte;

de acariciarte hasta que ya no pueda;
hay veces que quisiera morir contigo;
y olvidarme de toda materia,
pero no me atrevo.
Hay veces que no se lo que me pasa;

ya no puedo saber que es lo que pasa adentro;
somos como gatos en celo;
somos una celula que explota,
y esa no la paras, no la paras.
Aqui no pasa nada

--------------------
Eramos como de papel

liso y blanco sin doblar,
y fuimos hechos para andar
de par en par sin reclamar.
Hace tiempo me dijeron:

"Aqui no pasa nada",
que todo esta guardado
para que no le pase nada;
que esta tierra es de ciegos,
y que el tuerto esta en el cielo
para guardarlo todo.
y que aqui no pase nada.
Somos sumisos y obedientes,

con ganas de gritar,
con ganas de matar.
Pero hace tiempo que aqui
nos educan para mentir.
Hace tiempo me dijeron:

"aqui no pasa nada",
que todo esta guardado,
para que no le pase nada.
Que esta tierra es de ciegos,
y que el tuerto esta en el cielo

Los dioses ocultos
---------------------
¨Porque no puedo andar a gatas,

como lo hacen los locos?
¨Porque no puedo aullarlo todo,

como lo hacen los lobos?
¨Porque no puedo resignarme,

y aguantarme hasta la risa?
¨Porque uno quiere lanzarse

desde lo alto,
y al bajar buscar olvido?
¨Seran los dioses ocultos,

o seras tu?
¨Sera una decision mortal?
¨Porque no puedo
desgarrarme la piel,
hasta lograr un vacio?
¨Porque uno se retuerze entre

rincones,
mirando al cielo en busca de alguien?
El elefante
--------------
El otro dia pude hablar

con el sabiondo paquidermo.
Muchos secretos me conto
pero uno solo quiso ver,
y fue volar,
volar y volar,
hasta llegar
a la nada,
bajo el sol.
Estoy dispuesto a destruir

todo lo que no sea verdad.
Estoy dispuesto a marginar,
todo lo que no sea real.
Para ti,
para mi,
para seguir buscando el penacho
bajo la luna.
"Estoy dispuesto a imaginar

que no existe represion."
Despues de tanto reclamar,

bajo su trompa y se echo al suelo.
Y se fue, se fue,
de su jaula hacia la nada,
sobre la luna.
Amarrate a una escoba y vuela lejos
--------------------------------------
Aunque no te importe nada

la vida de un delfin
nadaras a fin de siglo
en tu pecera.
Si no sabes si eres rata

o una masa amorfa mas,
solo basta darle un beso al espejo.
Si no quieres entender
que invernando estan las brujas,
amarrate a una escoba y vuela lejos,
lejos.
Muy lejos,
aunque no puedas.

Metamorfeame
---------------
Se esta cambiando la forma humana.

Bajo las piedras hay otras piedras.
Sobre la espuma,
flota lo viejo;
escupe el rostro
que no responde.
Se esta doblando todo mi sudor.

Mojando extranas entranas.
Una oveja se esta suicidando.
Un mono enorme se esta poniendo blanco.
Metamorfeame,
metamorfeame.
Metamorfosis mata a Morfeo.

Que el cambio suene
que estas sonando.
El movimiento me hara cambiar

toda mi piel, toda la fe.
No dejare que las aguilas
se coman mis alas de marfil,
que este espacio deje de flotar,
y que este cielo se caiga ya.
Metamorfeame,
metamorfeame
Metamorfosis mata a Morfeo.

Que el cambio suene que estas sonando,
que este espacio deje de flotar,
y que estos cielos se caigan ya.
Metamorfeame,
hazme cambiar de fe,
hazme cambiar de piel.
Metamorfeame.
Nubes
--------
Parecemos nubes,
que se las lleva el viento
cuando hay huracanes,
cuando hay mal de amores.
Parecemos presos,
y como presos pensamos.
Escapar uno del otro,
y cometer la fuga.
Vamos a dar una vuelta al cielo,

para ver lo que es eterno.
Pensaras que soy un perro,

que en el cerebro tengo moquillo,
que ladro y que no muerdo,
y que soy un mal agradecido.
Tengo garras, tengo dientes

y defiendo lo que tengo,
Ay, amor ya no me entiendes,
porque muerdo y ya no suelto.


para ver lo que es eterno
Y luego vienes a buscarme.

Piedra
---------
Piedra: dejame, piedra.

No me deformes mas.
Dejame como soy.
Mira como sangro.

¨Que no sientes como tiemblo?
No te importa verme sufrir.
Nunca me has hablado.

Como se seca el alma.
Mis dientes piden perdon.
Si te grito que me ayudes,

es porque quiero que te alejes.
Ya no quiero olerte mas.
No quiero irme contigo
llorando al cielo.
Quiero aprender, aprender a amar,
que asi estoy bien,
solo estoy muy bien.
Separame los huesos.

Destrozame y entierrame.
Olvidame por favor.
Dejame ser la noche,

y bailar hasta sangrar
la danza del mas alla.
Dejame aunque sea,

irme volando hasta perderme,
y nunca volverte a ver.
Soy un mundo,
no me destruyas,
que quiero conocer la paz interior.
Piedra: dejame, piedra.

No me deformes mas.
Dejame como soy,
que asi estoy bien,
solo estoy muy bien.
Tortuga
----------
Ahi viene la noche,

lo mas probable es que duermas.
Ahi viene la noche,
lo mas seguro es que mueras.
Hoy llueven martillos,

lo mas probable es que peguen.
Hoy bajo la marea,
se fue llevando sus restos.
-Ay!, tortuga: vete mar adentro.

y dejanos y olvidanos.
y dejanos en este infierno.
Ahi viene la noche,

lo mas probable es que mueras.
Hoy la arena es testigo
de tu peor enemigo.
Y no sabes
como duele.
Y no te imaginas
como lastimas.
y dejanos y olvidanos.
y dejanos en este infierno.
Nos vamos juntos

-------------------
Nos vamos juntos,

haciendo viejos
algunos suenos.
Toda la piel.
Mordiendo el tiempo,
lamiendo el aire;
nos buscamos
para evitarnos.
Y sin embargo, aqui estoy.

Y sin embargo, no me voy.
Vivimos juntos
en infiernos mutuos,
en mentiras humanas,
eternas hermanas.
Juntos buscamos
la eterna pareja.
Odiamos.
Y sin embargo, aqui estoy.

Y sin embargo, no me voy.
Me voy yendo como el mar:

Lento y salvaje, como tu.
Vamos, abrazanos,
para crecer en paz;
vamos a olvidarnos
de flagenarnos para querernos.
aya (?)
Haciendo besos,
yo te dare mis ojos
para que llores.
Me voy yendo como el mar:

lento y salvaje como tu
No dejes que...
------------------
Cuando veo a traves del vaso,

veo a traves del tiempo;
donde los sentidos se dislocan,
donde los temores se evaporan.
Y aprovecho para desdoblarme,

para salir del vaso;
con las paredes sudo tu rastro,
con la memoria busco tu rostro.
Y no se por que.
No me importa saber por que.
No dejes que
nos coma el diablo, amor,
que se trague tu calor,
que eructe mi dolor.
No dejes que
Cuando veo a traves del humo,

me voy volando y tu eres mi guia;
Entre los mundos nos haremos viejos,
donde algun dia estaremos tranquilos.
Y no se por que
No me importa saber por que
No dejes que
No dejes que
Hasta morir
--------------
No creas que por estar sentado aqui

No voy a poder correr hacia ti.
No creas que por estar amarrado asi
No voy a poder abrazarte a ti.
Hasta morir.
Hasta morir.
Hasta morir.
Hasta morir.
No creas que por estar encerrado aqui

No estoy pensando en ir por ti;
y llevarte lejos muy lejos,
hasta que nadie se acuerde de ti.
No creas que por estar desnudo asi

no voy a pasearme de puntitas en tu jardin.
No creas que esta navaja es para mi,
la traje para rascarte a ti.
Hasta morir.
Hasta morir.
Hasta morir.
Hasta morir.
Debajo de tu piel
--------------------
Si pudiera ver
una lagrima
mientras te beso entre incendios,
te abrazaria para subirnos con el humo.
Abajo de tu piel hay esmeraldas conquistadas,

encima de tu piel hay una alfombra entre tus pies;
abajo de tu piel yo resucito y me derrito,
encima de mi piel te guardo el aire que no hace dano.
Ven, acercate.
Si pudieramos escupir cometas,
le ganariamos al tiempo,
a la magia, al destino,
a la distancia, al olvido.
Abajo de tu piel hay esmeraldas conquistadas.

encima de tu piel hay una alfombra entre tus pies;
abajo de tu piel yo resucito y me derrito,
encima de mi piel te guardo el aire que no hace dano
Estas dormida
----------------
Cada segundo sin tu piel

me va secando la voz.
Cada ladrido en tu pared
va marchitando mi amor.
Y estoy buscandote a ciegas,

en un sepulcro sin puertas.
Y aunque te escondas todo el dia,

la verdad... yo se bien que estas dormida,
con los recuerdos de otra vida,
donde yo...
Los dias pasan y aqui estoy,

junto a tu tumba sin sol.
Si tu te vas ä donde voy?,
no me obedecen mis pies.
Quieren que vaya al desierto,

quieren que baje al infierno.

donde yo...

donde yo...
Miercoles de ceniza
----------------------
¨Te acuerdas cuando jugabas con el?

Siempre desde los aboles se miraban.
Solo con el podias hablar,
solo con el podias llorar.
Ahora es un hueso,
enterrado,
olvidado,
olvidado.
¨Te acuerdas cuando hablaban de la muerte?

Decian que era un futuro interminable.
Ähora que pasa?
te encuentro (?)
¨Te acuerdas cuando se convertian en dioses?

Decian que nada los iba a separar.
Ahora es un hueso,
enterrado,
olvidado,
olvidado.
En un miercoles de ceniza.
El comunicador
-----------------
Hay un ser que nos teme;

alguien que quiere escondernos.
Tiene optica cuadrada y vomita engano;
desconecta tu razon.
Amarilla esta su sangre,

reprimido su corazon.
El te rompe los sentidos;
Es un foco de infeccion.
Yo no se como se llama,
es el comunicador.
Es el comunicador.
Es el comunicador.
Es el comunicador.
Llevas anos escondido,

temeroso por sentirlo.
Ahora es tiempo de afilarnos los colmillos,
con tu ojo entre las piernas.
Yo no se como es que rie,

es el comunicador.
Es el comunicador
Es el comunicador
Es el comunicador
Para que no digas que no pienso en ti

----------------------------------------
Ando buscando
las formas ocultas
de una matarraya
con neurosis ausente.
Ando buscando
reptiles conscientes
de actos pensantes
y no convenientes.
Para que no digas

que no pienso en ti.
Para que no digas

Ando entre seres

oblicuos y ausentes,
buscando la forma
de hacerlos presentes.
Tengo en mis ojos

a mi mujer que es eterea,
y aun perdida entre sombras
quiero que sea eterna.
Para que no digas

Para que no digas

Para que no digas

Para que no digas

Vamos a hacer un silencio

----------------------------
Vamos a hacer un silencio,

vamos a ver como fue.
Ayer un angel nos rapto,
y nos dejo en la pasion
Vamos a ver otra vez...
Vamos a hacer un silencio;

vamos a vernos la piel.
Vamos a hacer sangrar el cielo.
Vamos a hacer lo nuestro en serio.
Vamos a hacerlo una vez.
Vamos a hacerlo una vez.
Un silencio.
Un silencio.
Mariquita
------------
"-Ay, cielos! Que dolor"

dijo una garza morena.
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido,
y son mayores sus penas.
Ay, que le da,

que le da y vamos a ver,
a ver como corre el agua,
vamos a verla correr.
Ay, que le da,

que le da vamos a ver,
el agua que se derrama
no se vuelve a recoger.
Mariquita, -quita, -quita:

Quitame de padecer;
que el rato que no te veo,
loco me quiero volver.
Lucero de la manana,
De la manana lucero,
Si supieras vida mia
Lo bastante que te quiero.

Afuera
---------
Muchos anos uno cree,

que el caer es levantarse,
y de repente, ya no te paras.
Que el amor es temporal,

que todo te puede pasar,
y de repente, estas muy solo.
Afuera, afuera tu no existes solo adentro.

Afuera, afuera no te cuido solo adentro.
Afuera, te desbarata el viento sin dudarlo.
Afuera, nadie es nada solo adentro.
Siguen los anos y uno esta,

creyendo que puede rezar,
y de repente, ya te perdiste.
Y uno cree que puede creer,

y tener todo el poder,
y de repente, no tienes nada.


Miedo
--------
Miedo,
es lo que debe tener el cielo.
Sera invadido
por amantes delirantes por un beso,
por profetas y dementes exiliados.
Miedo,
es lo que debe tener la vida.
Sera enfrentada
por los presos y los brujos solitarios,
por las animos de ninos enjuiciados.
Antes que muera,

Dejame amarte en vida,
hasta que el cielo
se caiga por nosotros.
Antes que muera,
dejame amarte en vida,
hasta que el Sol
se escape con la Luna.
Muerte,
abrazaras
a demonios hechos carne por un sueno,
a los cuerpos hechos polvo sin justicia.
Antes que muera,

dejame amarte en vida,
hasta que el Sol
se escape con la Luna.
Aqui no es asi
-----------------
Vienes caminando,
y no sabes tu destino,
conquistando suenos,
suenas llegar a ser deidad.
Sigues caminando
sobre viejos territorios,
invocando fuerzas
que jamas entenderas.
Y vienes desde alla,

donde no sale el Sol,
donde no hay calor.
Donde la sangre nunca
se sacrifico por un amor,
Pero aqui no es asi.
Vienes caminando
ignorando sagrados ritos,
pisoteando sabios templos
de amor espiritual.
Largas vidas siguen

velando el sueno de un volcan,
para un alma eterna
cada piedra es un altar.
Y vienes desde alla,

donde no sale el Sol,
donde no hay calor.
Donde la sangre nunca
se sacrifico por un amor,
pero aqui no es asi.
El animal
------------
Voy a mandar hacer un animal

con piel de humano y las manos de leon.
Le ensenare a aranar, a ladrar, a masticar,
y le dire todo lo que esta muy mal.
Voy a mandar hacer un animal

que se parezca a ti, pero que no sea igual.
Que tenga ganas de abortar su sombra, y mas...
Que pueda andar por las calles y no mirar atras.
Estaran en el suelo,
estaran en el techo,
en tu cama.
Estaran en el cielo,
estaran en tus pechos,
en tu almohada.
Voy a mandar hacer otro animal,

con mas agallas y mas dientes pa' masticar,
con sangre humana en sus ojos, ellos se iran,
y me diran todo lo que esta muy mal.
Estaran en el suelo,
estaran en el techo,
en tu cama.
Estaran en el cielo,
estaran en tus pechos,
en tu almohada.
Ayer me dije un ave

----------------------
Ayer me dije un ave que volara

por donde no hay ardor.
Que lo sufrido no resucita en suenos,
y en rezos nunca murio.
Que saque el aire de mis ojos,

que abrace al miedo con tus suenos,
que sea un guerrero de sangre,
para que nadie te haga dano.
Ayer me dije un ave que volara

hasta desintegrarme,
que la distancia no es cansancio,
es fuerza, eres tu.
Que saque el aire de mis ojos,
que abrace al miedo con tus suenos,
que sea un guerrero de sangre,
Hasta que dejes de respirar

------------------------------
Antes de irme dejame elevarte;

tocar tus senos hasta las costillas.
Siente mis dedos como una rara esencia;
sobre las aguas flota tu miedo.
Entre las olas se remueven tus vicios,

hunde al hombre que no te reacciona.
Antes de elevarnos deja te digo:
No tengas miedo, tu estas conmigo.
Antes del sueno dejame elevarte

tus oraciones, todos tus deseos,
hasta que calmes tu tempestad,
hasta que dejes de respirar.
Dejame el vino que corre en tus venas,

dame el manto que te cubre de vida.
Que necesito verte por dentro,
que necesito cambiar desde adentro.
Ya no te muevas porque no reacciono;

mi espuma te esta refrescando.
Mira: mis manos dejaran de temblar
cuando tu dejes de respirar.
Antes del sueno dejame elevarte

tus oraciones, todos tus deseos,
hasta que calmes tu tempestad,
hasta que dejes de respirar.
Avientame
------------
Que triste se nos fue la vida;

atras del cielo nos miran llorar,
fumando lunas a escondidas,
revoloteando entre viejas paredes.
Que triste se nos fue la vida;

la lluvia acida mojaba octubre,
y de rodillas vuelan lamentos
de algunos buitres, de algunos cerdos.
Avientame,
avientame hasta donde quieras,
y luego ven a mirar como revivo.
Avientame,
y luego ven a mirar como no muero,
como aguanto.
Que tristes senos tiene Carmela;
el silicon le ha roto el corazon.
Y ahora llora como Ernesto,
que se ha castrado por falta de amor.
Avientame,
y luego ven a mirar como revivo.
Avientame,
y luego ven a mirar como no muero,
Avientame.
Quisiera ser alcohol

-----------------------
Si mis plegarias no fueran

a la Virgen,
sino a ti...
¨que pensarias?
¨Que dirias?,
si de la noche
soy un pedazo
de suelo que flota
entre tus suenos.
Como una perla,
te saco lo obscuro,
te llamo por tu nombre,
y digo que no puede ser...
Quisiera ser alcohol,

para evaporarme en tu interior
y saber lo que es pasion,
y sentir que soy querido una vez...
Si algun dia
me miras abrazado
de tu sombra,
no me separes,
dejame solo,
sin movimiento,
como una lagrima
que corre por tu cuerpo
lamiendote toda la piel.
Quisiera ser alcohol,

para evaporarme en tu interior
y saber lo que es pasion,
y sentir que soy querido una vez...
Pero nunca me cai

--------------------
¨Cuantas noches me he quedado dormido

en el filo del tiempo,
a la orilla del abismo?
¨Cuantas veces he querido salirme
de la ruina del cuerpo
y despertar en tus ojos?
Cicatrizandonos,
arriesgandonos,
aguantando mutacion
desangrando la razon.
Pero no,
nunca me cai,
nunca te arrastre,
seguimos aqui.
¨Cuantas veces me perdi en la distancia

y me miraba de lejos, como te iba perdiendo?
¨Cuantas veces me olvide de mis ojos
y en lo negro me hundia, llorando en lo profundo?
Sabiendo que
el tiempo es cruel,
nunca dudamos por volar
como las aguilas que se van.
Pero no,
nunca me cai,
nunca te arrastre,
seguimos aqui.
El ano del dragon

--------------------
Si el ano del dragon

fuera mortal,
mas alla de la verdad no habria pasion,
mas alla de la verdad no habria pasion.
Si el olvido es tu creencia,
dejame olvidarte.
El misterio es mudo, es magico,
el misterio es mudo, es magico.
Si la sombra es
tu unico aliado en la distancia,
no hay que creer
que por humano estas salvado
del anima que sangra en ti,
del anima que sangra en ti.
Si la noche es tu planeta,
no le niegues proteccion.
Mas alla del miedo esta la paz,
mas alla del miedo esta la paz.
Las ratas son

de carne y hueso, y sudan sangre
igual que ayer
lo unico que vivo es lo que sientes
del anima que sangra en ti,
del anima que sangra en ti.
La Llorona
-------------
Desde el fondo de la tierra,

fantasmas humanos se buscan.
Algunos olvidan frio,
otros nunca se encuentra.
Hacen temblar la tierra;
tiemblan suenos,
tiembla amor.
-Ay!, no quiero amarte, Llorona.

-Ay!, no quiero llorar contigo.
-Ay!, dejame ver tu piel.
-Ay!, dejame ser tu piel.
Dejame ayudarte,
Na'mas dime como,
y asi sera...
Desde el fondo de la tierra,

mas alla de la existencia,
flotan almas solas
todas crucificadas.
Hombres y mujeres lloran
por un amor
que nunca tuvieron.
-Ay!, no quiero amarte, Llorona

-Ay!, no quiero llorar contigo
-Ay!, dejame ver tu piel.
-Ay!, dejame ser tu piel.
Dejame ayudarte,
Na'mas dime como,
y asi sera...
Y asi sera...

Submitted by: Jeff Isen (jeffhome@terraport.net)

Cake- Frank Sinatra
Album: Fashion Nugget
This is a great band and a great song so have fun with it. There are a
whole lot of special effects that go on during it which I haven't included
but this is the basic song. The chord progression is the same throughout.
Enjoy!
Dm
We know of an ancient radiation that
Gm
haunts dismembered constellations
C A
A faintly glimmering radio station
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather

The flies and spiders get along together
Cobwebs form on an old skipping record
Beyond the suns that guard this roost

Beyond your flowers of flaming truths
Beyond your latest ad campaigns
An old man sits collecting stamps

In a room all filled with Chinese lamps
He saves what others throw away, he says that he'll be rich someday

Solo

While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather

The flies and spiders get along together
Cobwebs form on an old skipping record

---===Going The Distance===---

By Cake
The verse goes a little like this:
e:--------------------------------------------|
B:----3------3------3--2--1------3-----2------|
G:o---4------4-h-5--4--2--2------4-h-5-2----o(repeat)
D:o---5------5------5--x--3------5-----x----o-|
A:--------------------------------------------|
E:--------------------------------------------|
Then there's some semi-chromatic lick I'm not sure how it goes... just
listen close... you'll be able to figure it out.
Then there's the part that goes:
"He's going the distance"

|--------(Pre-bend to 5 on the 4th fret and release)
(I'm not exactly sure about this note)
That's about all there really is... There are a few variations here and
there but nothing really major... no solo... so it's a pretty easy song
to play.
If there are any questions, comments, what ever... let me know.

ad lib vocals about shitting on the floor
Preceeding the intro is four measures of muting the strings. The intro
is one guitar alone with barre chords and the last two times through with
the second guitar accompanying with open chords. Both guitars play
together (except of course the solo) through the whole song. The D and D
sus4 part is just playing around with your little finger on the e string.

TABBED BY: Fredrik Koller Lund
Here's what JJ himself says about the song:

"This was done with an Acetone electric drummer. The rhythm
guitar is my Harmony tuned to the key of F#. Bass was
overdubbed by Carl Radle after the rhythm guitar and Acetone
tracks were put down. Mac Gayden overdubbed slide wah-wah
using a Lincoln guitar, a Japanese made Les Paul copy, and a

played this cut with his guitar laying on his lap, steel
guitar style. This was an idea he picked up while playing with
Weldon Myrick, a Nashville steel guitarist. It gives a cleaner
sound."
First of all: Tune the lead guitar (electric) to open F#
Open F#: 6 5 4 3 2 1
Db Gb Db Gb Bb Db
This is not an absolute; you may use open G if you are more
familiar with that tuning, but then you'll have to play all
the lead stuff one fret lower than tabbed here.
Although JJ tunes to F#, the rhythm guitar can easily be

played in normal tuning. I'm tabbing both these alternatives
because if you play alone (one guitar only), you can play both
rhythm and lead in open F#. I recommend using an electric guitar
for then lead, preferably slide with wah-wah pedal. Also, lay
back in a comfortable seat for the right mood.
OK, here we go: (Gt.1 is in normal tuning Gt.2 is in F#)

CRAZY MAMA
J.J. CALE
Submitted by Erik Davis
This is a fingerstyle arrangement of JJ Cale's 24-bar blues song "Crazy

Mama"
Each dash represents 1/16th note, and since the song is in 12/8 time (aka
swing time), there are 24 dashes per measure. I have tried to be concise
and get it right, but if I fucked up, just remember, it's blues. The
rhythm in the average measure is /dum'de dum'de dum'de dum'de/
(trochaic quadrimiter, for all you poets out there, and [dotted eighth note
+ sixteenth note] x 4 for all the rest of you). Enjoy.
FIG1
The following rhythm figure is repeated (ad nauseum) during the verses.

Here are the lyrics (before I get to the solo)
/ Fig 1 (x15) .......

You been hidin' out, you know that's true
Crazy mama, I sure need you
....... / Fig 2 / Fig 3 (x3) / Fig 4/ ==>

verse 2
2. Standin' on a corner lookin' for you babe

Standin' on a corner lookin' for you babe
Lord have mercy can I see
Crazy mama comin' back to me
SOLO: I usually play it after verse two, and then end the song by
repeating the first verse.
Remember, the following symbols replace a dash (1/16 in the notation) so

don't assume that 0h2 takes 2/16 to play; it takes 3/16.
h - hammer
p - pull off
s - slide
s - above the tab: slide up to that note (grace note)

b - above the tab: bend up to that note (ghost note)
P.S. I broke up the the upper strings at the end of each bar to make it
even again with the bass, so it's easier to see what's going on without
counting
dashes.

theme.

I've been working on a J. J. Cale song from his "Okie"

album. I'm missing a couple of lyrics. Can anyone tell me
what he's saying here ? Are these chords correct ?
Has anyone else recorded this song ? It seems like I've
heard it somewhere before. Any help here would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me,

There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me,
Ain't no man big enough to stop me,

I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.

There ain't no rope stout enough to bind me,

Mystic Queen / Peter Bardens

----------------------------
Performed by Camel on their first album, "Camel", from 1973
I've been a Camel fan for a long time. Lots of Camel's music from "The Good
Years" (ie 1973-1977, but please don't flame me about it) are untranscribable
due to my playing limitations and patience, but this piece is both beautiful
and easy to play. The tabbing and notes here should help you playing it,
hopefully with some friends playing with you, or, on the other hand, it could
be helpful if you've got a synth guitar with a sequencer or just a 4/8 track
tape...
I've made a great mess when I tried putting all those tabs and chords, so
I have divided the song into sections. The complete chord sequence, with notes
about the relevant sections, is written at the end. The chord sequence should
help you play it throughout, and the messy part should help you play specific
"solos". As usual, I'm transcribing organ solos into guitar tabs. I know it's
ridiculous but maybe somebody can do something with it :-). I didn't bother
tabbing all those Bass lines because Ferguson wasn't as consistent as he
usually is on this song.... :-) But it is easy to find the bass line as long
as you know the chords, in this song anyway.
I wish there would be more progressive rock stuff over the guitar tablature
groups! I'll be doing my best (Slow Yourself Down is coming up next!)

2. Song verse:
Dm | Bb

Dm | Bb

Play as much open strings as you can. I think the play:

Dm: x-x-0-2-3-1
C: x-3-2-0-1-0
Bb: x-1-3-3-3-1
Am: x-0-2-2-1-0

4. Second chords sequence

Generally the chord sequence goes this way:
Dm | Dm | C | C | Am | Am | Bb | D#
Guitar plays the chords using barre:

Dm: x-5-7-7-6-5
C: x-3-5-5-5-3
Am: 5-7-7-5-5-5
Bb: 6-8-8-7-6-6
D#: x-6-8-8-8-6
Organ plays the chords (some times with arpeggio) twice. On the first cycle,
the first two Dm are played as a "bang" Dm, then a pause, till everybody joins
in on the C. The second cycle just flows. On the third cycle yet another
simple guitar solo comes in:
Dm C
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
E:--------|----5-6-|5-------|----5-6-|
Guitar: B:6-------|6-8-----|----5---|--------|
G:--------|--------|--------|--------|
Am Bb D#
E:5-------|--------|--------|--------|
B:----5---|--------/6-5---6-/8-6---68|
G:--------|--------|----7---|----8---|
Repeat this line for three sequences, in the third time modify slightly by
little tremoloes.
Dm C CBBb - from now on drop from C to Am

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 with major chords.
E:--------|--------|--------|--------|
Guitar: B:6---6---|6---6---|565-----|--------|
G:--------|--------|----5---|--------|

Am Bb D#
E:/12-----/12------|13------|15------|
B:--------|--------|--------|--------|
G:--------|--------|--------|--------|
5. Solos end:
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Guitar E:-10-8-6-5|-3-1----|-10-8-6-5|-3-1----|-10-8-6-5|-3-1----|
& Organ B:10-8-6-5-|3-1--53-|10-8-6-5-|3-1--53-|10-8-6-5-|3-1---5-|
Unison G:---------|----3---|---------|----3---|---------|----3---|
The sequence slows down at the end, so that the last note (D - 3rd fret on
fifth string), and the whole thing sums up into the opening sequence:
6. Second Intro - the same as the first
7. Second song verse - the same as the first, ends into the epilogue...
8. Epilogue:
Organ: Dm | Dm
Guitar (using volume pedal?) plays:

Never Let Go - from Camel's first album
Here comes a Camel favourit. It seems like I'm into transcribing chords
from the first Camel album (could it be that it's the only album which
can still be tabbed by an amature 'tabber' like me?). Coming next time:
"Slow Yourself Down", Congas not included.
The transcription is based on both original version and the 'Never Let Go'
live version. I suppose the C chord on the chorus is really another Am7,
but it's hard for me to decide. Anyway - it's a great song and it even
sounds great with one guitar.
Bass line is not included this time. Better figure it out yourself 'cos
it is as simple as only Doug Ferguson can get. Viva Ferguson! Why did he
ever leave the band? :-<
Oh! Almost forgot! The tab was created using my new and incomplete TAB MASTER
program for tabbing guitar. When it's finished - you may all have it,
available for free on the net.
Blah blah blah. Enough of that! Enjoy! Comments etc are, as always, welcome.

I hear them discuss Armageddon...
They say the hour is getting late,
But I can still hear someone say,
This is not the way...

He'll not take no for an answer.
He will get by, somehow he'll try,
He won't take no, never let go, no...

GENTLE ON MY MIND
(anybody know who wrote it?)
G G7
It's knowing that your door is always open
G Am
and your path is free to walk,
Am7
that makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
D7 G
rolled up and stashed behind your couch.
G
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
G7
by forgotten words and bonds
G Am
and the ink stains that have dried if on some line,
Am7
that keeps you in the backroads
by the rivers of my mem'ry

Am D7 G
that keeps you ever gentle on my mind.
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy

planted on the columns now that binds me,
or something that somebody said
because they thought we fit together walking.
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track
and find that you are moving on the backroads
by the rivers of my mem'ry
and for hours you're just gentle on my mind.

Through cupped hands 'round a tin can

That you're wavin' from the backroads, by the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind

Pictures of Matchstick Men
This song was originally done by Status Quo but I figured it out
listening to the Camper Van Beethoven version. I used to play this with a
band and it usually got a decent response from the audience. If you don't
have a violin to play the solo lines try a heavy distortion/wah pedal
combo. Listen to the tune some to make sure you get the right rhythms
because it is not always straight forward.

Do the

time, You can just hold a D chord for the second half of the intro line if
you prefer. The first verse comes in and is played on top of those four
chords in the same rhythm
D F C G x5
When I look up to the sky I see your
eyes a funny kind of yellow, (yellow).
Rush home to bed, I shake my head,
I see your face underneath my pillow (pillow).
I wake the next morning, tired still yawning,
I see your face looking through my window. [Hold a D here to go into the
chorus]

And on a mission over China
The lady opens up her arms
The flowers bloom where you have placed them and the lady smiles just like mom

They bear the names of our sweethearts and the captain smiles as we crash

BUTTERFLY - CANDLEBOX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tabbed by Baz
tune down 1/2 step
this is my version of BUTTERFLY i think these are all the parts played in
the song but if you find a part that i missed let me know and i'll figure
it out.I figured it out on a guitar wich was tuned down 1/2 step... so you'll
have to tune it down or play everything one fret down)
I got the intro from someone else (RYAN_S@prodigy.com (HAMER LARRY R SEILHAMER))
but i play it a little different...... i don't know if it is the correct way to
play it but it sounds pretty close..... if anyone has any corrections let me
know:
e-mail:9250128@bn.fnt.hvu.nl
www: http://huizen.dds.nl/~cndlebox
Intro: (4) means heavy mute (listen to the cd)

e|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
G|-------(6)---------(6)---------(4)---------(4)----|
D|----(4)---(4)---(4)---(4)---(3)---(3)---(3)---(3)-|

D|----(4)---(4)---(4)---(4)--------2---2---2--|
A|-(5)---------(5)-------------2---------2----|
E|---------------------------0----------------|
OKAY i realise that this isn't the way to play the intro..... and it also isn't
complete.... so if you know better please tab it out and mail it here... coz
this is wrong.... and i can't seem to get it right.....
Now for the next part.... I am pretty sure the strumming patterns are no
correct! You know how the song goes so just play it so it feels right!
e|---------------------------------------------|->
B|---------------------------------------------|->
G|---5--5--5-5-5-5/9---9---9--9-/10--10-10--9--|->
D|---6--6--6-6-6-6/10--10--10-10/11--11-11--10-|->

D|-6--6--6-6-6-6/10--10--10-10\8--8-8-8\10--10-10-|->
A|-6--6--6-6-6-6/10--10--10-10\8--8-8-8\10--10-10-|->
E|-4--4--4-4-4-4/8---8---8--8-\6--6-6-6\8---8--8--|->
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|-5--5--5-5-5-5/9---9----9--10-9--9--|
D|-6--6--6-6-6-6/10--10---10-11-10-10-|
A|-6--6--6-6-6-6/10--10---10-11-10-10-|
E|-4--4--4-4-4-4/8---8----8--9--8--8--|
Then it goes back to the intro 'muted' part
When playing the intro part he slides up the e fret like this:
E:-/19b\-| b=full bend.. (i'm not sure if it's 19 or something else)
Then it's the same again with the next part at the end instead of the part
obove :
e|--------------------------------------|----|----|----|------------------|
B|--------------------------------------|----|----|----|------------------|
G|-5--5--5-5-5-5/9---9----9--9--9--9--9-|-10-|-9--|-10-|-9--9--9--9--9----|
D|-6--6--6-6-6-6/10--10---10-10-10-10-10|-11-|-10-|-11-|-10-10-10-10-10---|
A|-6--6--6-6-6-6/10--10---10-10-10-10-10|-11-|-10-|-11-|-10-10-10-10-10---|
E|-4--4--4-4-4-4/8---8----8--8--8--8--8-|-9--|-8--|-9--|-8--8--8--8--8----|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's it as far as the different parts go.... what you see above is very
wrong!!!! he changes between the 8th and the 9th fret far more than it sais
and the rythm is wrong too!! the chords are correct though but it was not
possible to tab this part out correct... it all would have been the same anyway
so i advise you to listen to the song very closely before you try to play this
part (this part starts at 2.34 (with the intro played throug it))
End

Here's the verse guitar part. It's not exactly the way it's played
on the track. I think the guy just adlibs when he feels like it.
But this is the basic chord structure (it's a movable 'C'-chord
shape). Later on, after the solo, he starts strumming instead of
arpeggiating. You can also fool around with the chords for the
chorus to make it chunkier as the song progresses.

Once again, I can't do the solo or any other lead parts 'cause
that's not my thing. I've just got a good ear for figuring out
stuff. The song's not that hard at all. (By the way, that movable
'C' is also used in the intro to "Blossom".)

Candlebox - Don't You

This is a very fine flat-out rockin' song. The rhythm is pretty accurate,
and IMPORTANT!: IGNORE WHAT THE TAB NOTATION SAYS, THE BOTTOM STRING IS
TUNED DOWN TO 'D'!!!
(I forgot to set it in my TAB program and I'm too lazy to go back and
change 'em all:)

Play RIFF C once:

Play RIFF B twice:
I say maybe
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe
Some would say you're left with what you had
Play RIFF C once:
But you couldn't share the pain
Play RIFF B twice:
I said times have changed

Your friends they come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hold you down, hold you down
Maybe brother maybe love I didn't mean to treat you bad

Far Behind - Candlebox
Now I am no good at writing tabs or anything, but I sat down and

figured this one out one day and since I haven't seen it in this
newsgroup yet, I thought someone might want to know it... but don't jump
all over me because it's not exactly right, but I think i'm pretty damn
close.
Main part: w/Chorus Effect
e|-------5---5h7---5-------7-7---------5-5-------------2------------|
B|-------------------------8-8---------7-7--------------3-----------|
G|-----0---0-----0--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------0-----0---------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------0--------------------------------------------|
Now Maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad
e|----------------------0----0---------|
B|-----------------3------3----3-------|
G|--------------0-----------0----0-----|
D|------------2------------------------|
A|--0---2-3----------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|
But I did it anyway... etc..
That's the main part, you just repeat that until you get to the
chorus which is just these chords:
G Em D C9
e|-2-0--2-0-
B|-0-0--3-3-
G|-0-0--2-0-
D|-0-2--0-2-
A|-2-2--x-3-
E|-3-0--x-x-
G Em D
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
C9 G Em
but I did it anyway now maybe some would say you're
D C9
left with what you had but you couldn't share the pain no no no
Sorry, no lead part in this one. Mebbe next time. Layter.

Any questions or comments? E-mail:

CANDLE BOX - LUCY from the album LUCY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
commenst/fanmail and other poep e-mail me!
9250128@bn.fnt.hvu.nl [BAZZY]
One of the better songs on the alb–m

I just tabbed out the rythm guitar wich isn't very hard to play
I'm sorry for the weird notation! But i don't know the names of
most of the chords (never had a guitar lesson in my life) so
i wrote the down this way!
Intro : E C ?C? repeated
chords:
E C ?C?
e|-0-|-0-|-0-| now i'm sure he plays the ?C? thing
B|-0-|-1-|-3-| it sounds very nice (especially if
G|-1-|-0-|-0-| you slide up from the C to the ?C? thing)
D|-2-|-2-|-4-| (like he does)
A|-2-|-3-|-5-|
E|-0-|-0-|-0-|
lyrics over E C ?C? part
- Another lie for us to live in

- Pages pick it up anytime she likes
- Another life for her to put down, pick it up, pick it up
- Anytime she might find enough to,enough to get her high
during the last sentance the bass playes a loop that goes something
like this (it sounds pretty cool on guitar too)
E: -(0)-0--6-0-5-3-1-0--0---
chord progression for the next part:
E ? A G
e|---|---|---|---|
B|---|---|---|---| PART A
G|-1-|-7-|-6-|-4-|
D|-2-|-8-|-7-|-5-|
A|-2-|-8-|-7-|-5-|
E|-0-|-6-|-5-|-3-|
lyrics:
- And i'll get her high
- Turn it off i found her weakness
- Boxes filled with memories shavings
- Lead into something better
- I heard it yesterday
- It's old news my friend
- She's broken hearted
chord progression for the next part:

e|----|---|---|---|
B|----|---|---|---| PART B
G|-10-|-5-|-7-|---|
D|-11-|-6-|-8-|---|
A|-11-|-6-|-8-|---|
E|-9--|-4-|-6-|---|
lyrics:
- I know ,she'd seen it all along,
- She's better off lately
- They said it's all she's after
- easytime, every time
- can't she feel it?
- Has it all been wasted?
- can we see her one last time
The next part get's played just before he jumps back into the E C ?C? rythm
(just once) over the lyrics- can we seen her one last time
e|---|---|---| PART C
B|---|---|---|
G|-9-|-4-|-1-|
D|-10|-5-|-2-|
A|-10|-5-|-2-| (not sure bout the firt chord
E|-8-|-3-|-0-| but i think it's right)
Then he goes to the E C part again (intro)
no lyrics
PART A
lyrics
- Another lie for her to live in
- Breakdowns, pull her out and knock us down everytime
- Another time for her to find out
- She'll let it go blue
- And the she'll fall down gently,
- Until she's broken hearted
PART B
lyrics
- I know she'd seen it all along
- She's better of lately
- They said it's all she's after
- easytime, everytime
- can't she feel it?
- Has it all been wasted?
- Can't she feel it one last time?
- Can't she feel it?
PART C
PART B
PART C
the next part is a bit tricky with the slides but i think it's correct
(sounds correct to me anyway)
e|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------|
G|---6-x-x---------------up----6-x-x---------------up----|
D|-7-7-x-x-5/7/9/12--11--11--7-7-x-x--5/7/9/12-11--11-7--|
A|-7-7-x-x-5/7/9/12--11--11--7-7-x-x--5/7/9/12-11--11-7--|
E|-5-------3/5/7/10--8---8---5--------3/5/7/10-8---8--5--|
lyrics:
- So when she lays here head down
- Do you read all the thoughts that she feeds aloud
- She can ,she can see through
- And when she's played out,
- All the dreams that she thought she could dream about,
- She can ,she can see through
- And when she's played out,
- All the dreams that she thought she could dream about,
PART B
lyrics:
- Do you feel,do you feel,do you feel
- Do you feel the need to break free?
PART C
lyrics:
- Is it all she's made of.....
PART A
then the E C PART again
up = strum upwards
THE END

I believe he uses a wah-wah in the next part:

e|-------|-------|-------|-------|
B|-------|-------|-------|-------| it sounds best if you
G|---3---|---4---|---9---|---8---| slide between the chords!
D|-----4-|-----7-|-----9-|-----9-|

that are all the parts he plays figure out in what order for yah self
lyrics:
Sounds to be where, you want to scream
Always left withouth,saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you let go
Times run over your sink onto my floor,
It's okay we've cleaned them many times before
simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are
simple lessons are, simple lessons are
Sounds might be where, yeah i want to cry
Always left before , i said hello
He's had days where shades of brilliance,never granted him space
Green shades of painfull rains,it's okay,they'll wash away now
simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are
simple lessons are, simple lessons are
Always, taught you how, drain yourself empty
Always, taught you how, drain yourself empty
We've all scared up from ages of childish games
Yet i've never seen your head up higher
It feels real this time, i seen your happy again
Reel in it for awhile,oh enough to take my place
Sounds to be where,you want to scream
Always left without saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you let go
You before you let go!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is the main riff of Understanding i thought i might as well include it
maybe i'll tab out the whole song if anybondy wants me to! (mail me)

Vulgair before me by the great CANDLEBOX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once again tabbed out by the great BAZZY
e-mail me: 9250128@bn.fnt.hvu.nl
Okay in my opinion this is the best song of this great album

it's pretty easy! basicly two chords! I think it sounds best
if you slide between the chords (without strumming)
chords used:
e|-0-|-0-|
B|-0-|-0-|
G|-3-|-6-|
D|-4-|-7-|
A|-4-|-7-|
E|-2-|-5-|
strumming pattern that keeps being repeated throughout the entire song:
(there are some variations!)
e|-----0---|-------0--------------|-----0---|---|
B|-------0-|---------0------------|-------0-|---|
G|---------|-------------6---6----|---------|-6-|
D|---4-----|-----7-----7---7---7\-|---4-----|-7-|
A|-4-------|-7-7------------------|-4-------|-7-|
E|-2-------|-5--------------------|-2-------|-5-|
The pattern varies throughout the song i can't really tab it out (too much
work i'm lazy) but play it with a little feeling and it'll be cool
At some points in the song he just strums the chords
Lyrics:
To you. Sepereation, only to put it down

To you. Desperation, only to be around
So on, so under, misdirected in other words
And always i wonder is there anything i can do for you?
Anything i can do? Well i can do anything....
To some, i've been singled out, always i take your fall
To some, same and broken down,
All we've left is dropping around you
And you know these lines they're open ended.
These books were meant to be followed
And your rules left to be read
Is there anything i can do?
I can do anything. I can do anything,
it's vulgair before me
Is there anything i can do?
I can do anything. I can do anything
Vulgair before me, Vulgair before me
End

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Mirror, Mirror upon the wall, Magic demon eye
Realms of madness awakened by its call
Speak the ancient words of mages, try to take control
The essence of evil challenge for your soul
Chorus
The battle of minds, the riddles, the rhymes
Beware of the darkness behind
Usurped and enslaved, Redeemed and betrayed
The devil in the mirror, obey!
Verse 2
Indescent pulsating light, glowing in it's heart
The surface is reflecting nightmares of your mind
Green mist swirling deep within, a dark dimension takes form
grips of clawed hands drags you inside!
<Chorus>
Enchanted with powers to conquer your soul

Good or evil, it wont mind
The mirror of darkness is blind
Verse 1
Chorus
Enchanted with powers to conquer your soul

Good or evil, it wont mind
The mirror of darkness is blind
<Whispered>
Feel the presence, the voice of the dark
Breaks the balance, intrudes your mind
Try to deny, oh master of fools
Captured forever, the loser learns the rules

Subject: TAB: On the road again - Canned Heat
"On the road again" from Canned Heat I think, has no guitars in it (this is just
from memory). Off the top of my head, I thought it will be fun to try
and tab the harmonica bits - and here they are.
They sound pretty good to me but they aren't 100% correct
Title: On The Road Again

Artist: Canned Heat
Album: "Boogie with Canned Heat" (1967)
Intro: (well this is on a guitar - also that sound like an electric

razor is going in the background)

B-----------------------------------------------------------------12------------------------

G---7---7---7---7---7---7---7/2----2--------7---7---7----7--------------------7--
D---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
where 7/2 means slide from fret 7 down to fret 2 & 7b8r7 means play fret 7,
bend to tone of fret 8 and then release back to tone of fret 7.
this bit can be used at the end of some of the lyrics (call it riff #3)

Lyrics: (please correct them if there some weird ones as this is off the top of my
head)
Well my soul started crying but I'm out on the road again
On the road again (play riff #3 over this line)
Well my soul started crying but I'm out on the road again
On the road again (again play riff #3 over this line)
I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend (now play riff#3)
You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow (play riff #3 over this line)
You know the first time I travelled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow (play riff #3 over this line)
I didn't have no ????? not even no place to go (now play riff #3)
And my dear mama left me when I was quite young

When I was quite young (play riff #3 over this line)
And my dear mama left me when I was quite young
When I was quite young (Play riff #3 over this line)
She said "Lord have mercy on my wicked son" (now play riff #3)
Little solo:

B--8~~------------------------------------8~~--------------------------------------8~~--
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8~~ means let the note vibrate
13b14 / 8 means to play fret 13, bend the note to the tone of fret
14, then keeping the tone of fret 14, slide down to fret 8
Take ???? mama please don't you cry no more

Don't you cry no more (play riff #3 over this line)
Take ???? mama please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more (play riff #3 over this line)
Cause it's soon one morning down the road I'm gone (now play riff #3)
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road

Al by myself (play riff #3 over this)
But I ain't going down that long and lonesome road
All by myself (play riff #3 over this)
I can't carry you baby gonna carry somebody else (now play riff #3)

Okay, here is 'Hammer Smashed Face' by Cannibal Corpse. It's a

bit difficult to hear the guitar at some bits (!) so I'm not
claiming that it is perfect.
Please send any corrections to abx@dcs.ed.ac.uk.

And here's how to put it all together...
The introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riff 1, played 3 times then riff 2.
Riff 1a, played 3 times then riff 2.
Riff 1a, played 3 times then riff 2.
Then for the last few bars, pick the open E string fast with palm muting.
The bass solo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The verse
~~~~~~~~~
Riff 3, played 4 times
Chorus
~~~~~~
Fill 6, once
Riff 7, played twice
Fill 6, once
Riff 7, played twice.
The rest of it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Play this 4 times: Riff 9, played 3 times then Riff 10 once.
Riff 4, 4 times
Riff 3, 4 times
Riff 5, 8 times
Chorus, as above
Riff 5, 8 times
Riff 1, 3 times.
Riff 11, 12 times.
Then come the two chorus riffs, 7 and 8, but with drastically altered timing.
Listen to the recording, and you should see what I mean.
Riff 8, 4 times
Riff 5, 8 times
Riff 1, 3 times
Then an abrupt finish on E5.
Enjoy!

Zero the Hero

as recorded by Cannibal Corpse
from the 'Hammer Smashed Face' CD Single
Guitar transcription by Dave Ruginski
I have made no effort to put any kind of timing into my tab notation.
You'll have to listen to the song to get the timing correct, and to put
the riffs in the right places. I believe I have included all of the
rhythm parts for the song, but you are on your own for the solo, I'm not
a lead player.

The sun is not out yet And the sea who is mad about Ann
and Ann and Michael prefer not to see
already started the light jealous don't forgive
she over him the water, neither the seaweed, neither the salt
man and woman
undoing the bed
At dawn And the sea whisper in his language

Michael is already dammed fisherman!
over his boat say goodbye to her
give me a kiss love I don't want to share her heart
and wait quietly
near of the beach
On the village are saying Don't wait more girl of stone

that rock is Ann Michael wouldn't back
cover of salt and coral the sea take him as a prisoner
wait on the beach for not to want to leave a woman
Including there're people who assure

when there is a storm
the waves are caused by
Michael fighting 'till death against the sea
[estribillo]
And cry, and cry, and cry for him
and wait, and wait, and wait standing
on the sea shore the back of Michael
[ending with]
... and cry, and cry, and cry over the sea.

Carcass
Well, this is my first true attempt at transcribing any song, as

I've only been playing the guitar for about seven months. I feel
fairly confident as to it's accuracy, but if you do find any
problems, go ahead and let me know through E-mail. If you're looking
for a solo, you're not gettin it from this guy; however, if anyone
does know it, please E-mail it to me and I'll see if I can put it up.
I realize that the Guitar magazines have to tab what's popular, so
it's up to we Death fans to help each other out.
The main riff in this song is one of my personal faves and
requires a machine gun right hand to pull off correctly. It itself
wasn't impossible to figure out, but the verse riff gave me a hard
time for some reason. So be my guest and enjoy the fruit of my
labor.

"Embodiment"
by Carcass
from "HeartWork"
I thought to myself - where is the reaction, Carcass' New album,

HeartWork deserves. People say Death Metal is dead - I say hell!
And carcass prove I'm right. It's a master album, with Riffs not
from this world, Smart melodic solos and an attacking original
sound and rythem. Each song there is a piece - HeartWork is
definantly a real progression from the last album - although some
may say it's a break down.
It's a "*****+" RiffTastik classic.
I have worked a lot of time on this tab for Embodiment, the

5th fantastic track of HeartWork. I tabed only the riffs
while if anyone would want the solos - Post me.
Here goes:
Tune your guitar 2.5 steps down (i.e. Low E --> lower B etc.).
(Thanks Brian)
Make sure the Distortion is on full. You're gonna need it.

Lyrics:
*******
Verse 1:
I bow down (before) your precious icon, Deity of self suppression.

This effigy of flesh. corporeal christi. Nailed!!!!!!!!!!
In submission to this falst idol. Seeking deliverance!!!!!!!
>From this spiritual hierarchy. Downward spiralling. a
Corrupt throne.
Of repression and guilt.
Our will be done.

Thy kingdom burns.
Verse 2:
On my knees, before this tormented flesh, in irreverence.
In communion with this parasitic host of virtuous divinity.
This immperious creed bears testament to the failures of our
Mortality.
Rightous durance is our cross we bear in stations.
In stations of the lost.
Our will be done.

Thy kingdom burn. Thy kingdom burn.
Our will be done.
>From your knees arise.

By your own hand, your got (that) you scribe.
The earth shall inherit the meek.
Your god is dead.
(Lead - Michael Abbot)
Verse 3:
Bound down. In god we're trussed. foul stature.
Icons embodied in flesh. We nail.
In servitude to deities fashioned in our self image.
Shadows of eternal strife cast by those who serve.
Serve a crown of pawns.
(Lead - William Steer).
Lyrics by Jeff Walker.

Solos for "Embodiment" by Carcass
Transcribed by Aviad Hay - mail me if you disagree.
I am happy to say that a lot of people posted me after

the embodiment TAB. Those people are true Carcass fans
and the solos are mainly for them.
(That's for you Evan, PRIMOZ and the rest).
I hadn't had them on files and I didn't quite found

them all before - so, see what trouble I went through.
First Solo by Michael Abbot.

Use Wah-Wah when needed.
Use Digital delay effect on Medium.
This is just one of the Solos on heartwork where Michael

Use the wah-wah in an elastrious dimension.

I'm not sure about that last part. Bill is just hard to figure out.
Anyway - a tip: On the Steer Solo - use a lot of vibrato banding -
listen to the solo a lot to get the feeling.
Well It's 4 in the morning. I better get some sleep.
See ya all Death fans.

transcribed by grievous - a tireless mofo.
(drop me e-mail if you find mistakes)
Argh - this tune is a monster, but a personal favorite for

it's lack of guitar solos. A lot of the spots where vibrato
is indicated should be only lightly wiggled - listen to the
disc and you'll notice Bill Steer uses a light vibrato quite
frequently to great effect. As a matter of fact, go buy the
damn CD if you don't have it - it's a masterpiece of
technical grind-death-sludge with an original style. The
lyrics aren't included because I assume you already have the
record if you want to play this...
Tune all strings down 5 half-steps (e.g. B E A D ...)

Subject: TAB: "Inpropagation" by Carcass
Inpropagation by Carcass
From the album "Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious"
Transcribed by Peter Wishart
Yo, carcass fans! Necroticism is my favourite album of all time so

here is the first track INPROPAGATION, all 6 mins of it. A couple of
the solo bits are a bit touch-and-go but the cool riffs'n'things
should be spot on...:) Mail me with any suggestions/improvements/
comments/etc at psw@dcs.ed.ac.uk as I dont read the tab newsgroups
much. I think i'll do HEARTWORK next, or maybe HUMAN JIGSORE QUANDARY
(but that one is almost TOO atonal in places :)
Guitar tuned 5 steps lower - B E A D F# B low to high (although I

suppose it could be B E A D G B to match a 5-string bass but that
complicates things :)
_full _1/2_
Notation legend: 3' is a full tone bend, 3' ` is a semitone
bend and release. The [ lines separate the alternate endings for a
bar. <p.m> is palm muting, <l.h.m.> is left hand muting. And / is a
slide up, \ is a slide down.
spooky intro bitty...

<spoken introduction>
A body is commited to a public mortuary. Any victim of sudden or unexpected
death will be brought in for a post-mortem by a pathologist : their job is to
establish the cause of death. But sometimes a body is unrecognisable. Then it
is vital, especially if murder is suspected, to establish identity...
Insipid fumes bellow from the atrabilious chimney

Whilst in the sanctified crevet I calmly pillage and rake
For hot dry powdered human slag
Still steaming in the crematorium's gate
Bio-organic ebullition, bones tar, tallow dehydrates

For my deleterious horticulture so that I may cultivate
Your mortal mechanism dies - in nutrients rich

In the hallowed turf you lie - just for the taking
Charred sinew's as good as lime, no phosphates do I need

Deteriorated flesh used as top-soil, to replenish and nourish seed
Spreading the human potash, as ash matured
Recycling my rich harvest, bring out your dead - for use as manure
Irrigating tears are shed, but the ground must still be fed,
And there's no rest for the dead
Tipping and dusting up the spilt contents of urns

Every morsel that glows as embers on the fire
Extinguishing all hope of beatrific dispatch
These charred chassis desired
Exequiet rites now performed, a coronach sooting up the flu

Enter my execrable inferno, even in the afterlife there's work to do
The nitrogen content's high - but the flesh is weak

At the graveside mourners cry - your're never to wake again
Burnt brisket renews the ground, to germinate my seed

Cremated bodies are my spoil, to use them as plant feed
Ploughing this abhorrent human manure
Seedling my rich harvest, bring out your dead - for the soils to devour
Dry the dead are bled, because the ground must be fed,
And there's still no rest for the dead
I propagate - dust in the grate
Ashes to ashes - dust to dust, diluted in water and sprayed on crops,

Charcoal, fats, flesh and soot fetilising pasture with active fertile rot
Incumbent - latent calories are spent
Ashes to ashes - dust to dust, renewing the land with corpses corrupt
Mortuary scrapings, hearses a must, to the hot hearth the deceased are trussed
Harvesting the defouled, to fertilise my soil

Rejuvenating the spent with my fecundate spoils
Reaping the gone, to nourish the land

Replenishing exhausted pasture with my uncanny sleight of hand
Restoring the natural balance, sowing my seed
Dafalcating the departed, I rapt and glean...
So I recite my contrite lament, lacrimation for the dead

Their rest which I disturb...
Where should stand row upon row of cold grey remebrance stones
My cash crops now grow...

Merlin is the unanimical giant of today's society. None can live

without him but none can withstand the pure energy of his essence. From
the debris of evil and the aeons of war and pain, the destruction of the
Good and the annihilation of the Bad, Merlin arises from the ruins of
the once united universe. This is now HIS universe, Merlin's universe....
[Book of
Jon, 12:55-56]

CARNIVAL (PUCK VERSION)
by Persson/Svensson/Sveningson
Performed by the Cardigans
from "Hey get out off my way E.P."
Transcribed by Gerald Audenis (geralda@mech.kth.se)
With a little help from Edmond Hum (ehum@inforamp.net)
First, I definitely think that the Cardigans use a Capo on the second fret,
and that the key of "Carnival" is E.
Basically, if you play "Carnival" in E, you will use the following chords:
Chords
------
1) near the capo
As you can see, the first chord is a strange F#m maybe 7 or 9, I don't
know, but it sounds exactly like in "Carnival".
The chords 4,5 and 6 are the bossa-style chords that are so hard to catch
on "by my door, waiting for you".

RISE AND SHINE
by Svensson/Sveningsson
performed by the Cardigans
from 'Emmerdale'
transcribed by Gerald Audenis <geralda@mech.kth.se>
nov.15.1995
Once again, the key of the song is E!

I guess you'll have to buy a capo and to fix it on the second fret, and
to learn every single chord of the E key...
Here they are :
1st part
--------
E Amaj7 F#m B
e:---2+----2\0---2\0---2\0---2\0------
B:---2+----3-----0-----0-----2--------
G:---2+----2-----0-----0-----2--------
D:---2+----0-----0-----2-----2--------
A:---2+----------2-----2-----0--------
E:---2+----------3-----0--------------
^ D Gmaj7 Em A are the chords you'd get without the capo

^
Here is your
brand new capo
The 2\0 pattern is basically what makes the poppy melody in the beginning
of the song...
2nd part
--------
D#dim E C#m F#m A B
e:---2+----0-----5-----2-----0-----3-----0--------

Subject: Re: REQ : CRD file of Mariah Carey "Without You"
This is by far not the complete arrangement, but maybe it will help:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As usual, all guitars are tuned down one half step.
Intro:
(acoustic guitar)
eb:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb:-3--5-----------------------------------------------------3--5h6h5---|
Gb:-4-----------------------------------------------2--4--5-------------|
Db:----------4--5--4--2--0--2--------------2--4--5----------------------|
Ab:----------------------------3-----0--3-------------------------------|
Eb:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
eb:--------------------------------| I think there are some other

Bb:-3---5--------------------------| acoustic guitars in the background
Gb:--------------------------------| here, but this guitar plays the
Db:---------4--5--4--2--4--2-------| main melody of the intro.
Ab:-----------------------------3--|
Eb:--------------------------------|
(electric with massive sustain)

eb:------------------------------------------------------|
Bb:---7b(9)~----5h7--5-----3h5--3------------------------|
Gb:---7b(9)~----5h7--5-----4h5--4--4--5b(7)--5--4--0--2--|
Db:--------------------------------5--7b(9)--7--5--------|
Ab:------------------------------------------------------|
Eb:------------------------------------------------------|
And here is the main riff played throughout the song

and slightly varied in some places. You've probably
already figured this out.
(acoustic guitar)
Am G D
eb:----------------------3--------2--------2--|
Bb:--0h1--------1-----------3--------3--------|
Gb:-------2--------2-----------0--------2-----|
Db:----------2--------2-----------0-----------|
Ab:--0----------------------------------------|
Eb:----------------------3--------------------|
I also know incomplete versions of some other songs on that album, if

you're intersted.

EVERY LITTLE THING (Carlene Carter, Al Anderson)

------------------------------------------------
[Actually in A & B; capo 2.]

[Strum with a lot of downstrokes.]
[The chords in the chorus with a * have a single electric guitar power chord
at the beginning of the measure. Chords with ** have noticable electric
guitar through the whole measure.]
G G G G G G G G
[intro]
G G D D
I hear songs on the radio, they might be fast or they might be slow
D D G G
But every song they play's got me thinking 'bout you
G G D D
I see a fella walking down the street, he looks at me and he smiles real sweet
D D G G
But he don't matter to me 'cause I'm thinking 'bout you
C* C G* G
Every little dream I dream about you, every little thought I think about you
D* D D G
Drives me crazy when you go away, I oughta keep you locked up at home
C* C G* G
Like a wild horse I wanna break you, I love you so much I hate you
D* D D G* G
Every little thing reminds me of you, honey when you leave me here all alone
My tongue gets tied when I try to talk, my knees get weak when I start to walk
So I might as well stay home and keep thinking 'bout you
"The Young and the Restless" on my TV set, it's just like us when we first met
And when they start to kissing, got me thinking bout you

UNBREAKABLE HEART (by Benmont Tench; recorded by Carlene Carter)

----------------------------------------------------------------
[Actually in Bb; capo 3.]
[Each chord is half a measure, except "Em - D" is one measure total.]
[Sorry it's kind of hard to read; the lines of this song are structured
oddly. All the verses are basically the same, but I wrote them all out
because they're not easy to memorize.]
[I'm pretty unsure about a lot of these chords, especially in the bridge.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.]
[The C's and Em's with * by them have an extra high G in them (pinky on
the 3rd fret of the E string).]
[Some unusual chord fingerings, and more comments, are at the end.]
G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D
[intro]
An empty house, a broken fairy tale
G Bm C Am7/D Em* Em* C* C/D
A hollow girl with empty arms
A7sus4 Em Am B7 Em* Em*
>From an angel's tears, God made the stars
A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G Bm C Am7/D
Why can't he make me an unbreakable heart
G Bm C Am7/D
[instrumental]
In my blue world, you shone like heaven's fire
And left me crying in the dark
How could any - one be so hard
A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G C/G G G
Did you think I had an unbreakable heart
Ddim7/G# Am7 F#m7-5 Em - D C G/B Am G

I suppose I should know sometimes love just comes and goes
Ddim7/G# Am7 F#m7-5 Em - D A7 A7 C C/D
But I believed, foolish me, we'd go on and on
One day, someone will come to you
And rock you tight - ly in her arms

Please remember this when you drop your guard
A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G Bm C Am7/D
Nobody has an unbreakable heart

>From an angel's wings to a falling star
A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G Bm C Am7/D G.
God makes everything but unbreakable hearts
CHORDS:
Am7/D: xx0010 Em*: 022003 C*: x32013 C/D: xx0010 A7sus4: x02030
A9/C#: x42000 Am/D: xx0210 Ddim7: xx0101 or xx0131 F#m7-5: 2x2210
A couple other notes on the chords:

1) The C* and Em* chords probably aren't really played by the guitar;
I just put them in because they echo the melody of the song.
2) The B7 isjust two quarter notes. The first doesn't include an F# on
the high E string, the second does. (I.e., play x2120x, then x21202.)
3) In the bridge, where it goes Em - D, don't play the highest strings on
either of those chords. (The D is more like D5.)
4) In the A9/C#, make sure you hit that C#, or it'll sound weird.
5) In the Em* chords before A9/C#, you can play the descending notes
by moving your pinky from 3 down to 2 as you get toward the A9.

Paul, I never knew you were such a Philistine! :) Here's the CRD
for the famous "Leave a light on for me" (axe fantastic) - note
the cunning key change for intro and chorus. Something else new
to learn?
I hope y'all have as much fun playing this as I did working it out!

A few months ago someone was looking for this Larry Carlton tune from
"Last Nite".
This tab is not be perfectly accurate but it sounds cool and is fun to play.
The first riff is over a G7 vamp and then moves up a minor third to Bb7.
Should be enough to get you started.

Part of the "tablature you didn't really want but got anyway" series.
The only recording of this song I have is an ancient and in mono. It's
missing the start and the finish. I had trouble deciphering the lyrics.

G G C G C C Em D
She says it's been so long, she can't remember when
G G C G C C D G
The mention of his name didn't make her feel again
G G C G C C Em D
That everything is possible and every day a brand new start
G G C G C C D G
Yeah, love's something powerful when it finds a willing heart
Bm Bm C C
Sometimes it's a fire burning out of control

Sometimes it's a candle burning long and low
G G C G
All these years she never let it go
C C D G
There's a keeper for every flame
G G C G C C Em D
[instrumental]
G G C G C C D G
[instrumental]
There is someone in his past that he hasn't gotten over yet

Each day's like the last, he just misses what he can't forget
It's just an empty space where something used to be

Now he guards the gate, but he's lost the key
So no one enters, but no one leaves
Bm Bm C C Em Em C C
[instrumental]
G G C G C C D G
[instrumental]
Thought my heart had broken, but it was just a little bruised

I thought love had spoken, I guess I was just confused
Sometimes we were a fire burning out of control

Sometimes we were nothing but a candle glow
But it never died, baby, how I know

A LOT LIKE ME (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

-------------------------------------
[Actually in F; capo 5, I think. Each chord is one measure, except two
chords joined by a hyphen (e.g., "F - G") are one measure _total_.]
C C F F G G C G C C F F G G C G
[intro]
C C F F
He was a long tall stranger from way down south where he'd left his life behind
Dm G C G
He had a big old Gibson and a pickup truck and Shenandoah eyes
C Em F F
And I remember him sitting in that local bar where I earned my pay each night
Dm G F - G C G
Singing my songs to empty chairs and going home half tight
C C F F
So the nights rolled by like headlights shining on a lonesome strip of tar
Dm G C G
I kept his words of kindness close to me like a pick on my guitar; And we
C Em F F
Talked about the singers and the songs we loved and the songs we'd most forgot
Dm G F - G C
In that run-down bar they'd make last call and I'd never want to stop
F G
'Cause I was living on nothing but a young girl's dreams
C - Em F
With my cowboy boots and my old six-string
Dm G C - Em F
Hitching my wagon to a star, dreaming of leaving those local bars
C Em/B Am - G F
When I'd get him up at closing time for a couple of songs and a chance to shine
Dm G F - G
Like the star that he longed to be, he looked a helluva lot like me
C C F F G G C G
(me) [instrumental]
He'd played a lot of places where the only wages were food and beer for free
No fancy licks, but he had him a gift for the kind of songs he'd sing
But you do what you can to be a satisfied man, just to have your peace of mind
So he gave it all up for a government job where the paychecks come on time
So now he comes to the bar to hear me play guitar and to share a drink or two
And we sit swapping tales of where we've been and what we'd rather do
There's a wealth of danger when you're talking to strangers, and I meet them
all the time
But my heart knew better than my head when I looked into those eyes
'Cause I was living on nothing but a young girl's dreams with my cowboy boots
and my old six-string
Like the star that he longed to be, he looked a hell of a lot like me

Well, maybe I'll quit when I got me a kid and a place to call my own
But tonight there ain't nobody there waiting up for me at home
It's a hell of a way to live from day to day not knowing where you're bound
But the look in his eyes made me realize I was glad for the life I'd found
'Cause I was living on nothing but a young girl's dreams with my cowboy boots
and my old six-string
Dm G F - G Am
Like the star that he longed to be, he looked a hell of a lot like me
Dm G F - G
Like the star that he'd always be, he looked a hell of a lot like me

A ROAD IS JUST A ROAD (Mary-Chapin Carpenter & John Jennings)
-------------------------------------------------------------

[Each chord is half a measure.]
G G D D G G C C G G D D G G G G
[intro]
G G D D
He pulled out in a cloud of dust
G G C C
Laying rubber and spewing rust
Em Em D D
And on any road he'd take
C G/B Am D
He'd have his foot on the pedal and my heart on the brake(break)
G G D D
Underneath the smooth tar curves
G G C C
A road is only dust and dirt
Em Em D D
On a lonely interchange
C Am D D
The signs all look the same
G G D D C C D D
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling
G G D D C C D D
No matter where you go, from Waterloo to Wichita
G G D D C C Em/B Em/B
A road is just a road that the one you love is leaving on
C C Em/B Em/B D D G G G G
And midnight's another dawn, 100 miles ago [these two G's are only
played the first time.]
His wheels spun out of sight of me

Believing that I'd set him free
But I'd heard the voice of the prisoner
Saying he couldn't get enough of her
You go by land, you go by air

You go by sea, hell I don't care
You can go any way you choose
Wearing out the soles of your traveling shoes
And a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling

No matter where you go, from Bangor, Maine to Bakersfield
And midnight's another dawn, a hundred miles ago
[Guitar solo: same chords as chorus.]
F F C C
And every sleepless night I see him
G G C C C C
Screaming by the scenery
F F C C
Not noticing another mile
G G C C C C D D D D
That's rolled down between him and me
'Cause a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling

No matter where you go, from Saskatoon to San Antone
Yes, a road is just a road and a feeling's just a feeling

No matter where you go, from San Bernardino to Sault Ste. Marie

Mary Chapin Carpenter
Tunings and capo positions
These charts have been compiled from various sources over the past few years. The best way to find out
about capos is to watch performances live or on television, although sometimes I have to make
assumptions based on how the songs sound (especially with the older ones which aren't performed as
much anymore).
The charts try to list six things for each song:

1) The key that the song was originally recorded in. Sometimes this changes in live performances.
2) Where Mary Chapin Carpenter has her capo (0 if there's no capo).
3) The key MCC plays it in.
4) MCC's tuning. If it's blank, she uses standard tuning. If there's a question mark, that means it might be
standard, but I'm not sure.
5) Where the lead guitarist has his capo. This is usually John Jennings (especially in concert), so I put his
name there.
6) The key the lead guitarist plays it in. John Jennings rarely, if ever, uses non-standard tunings, so
there's no "JJ tuning" column.
If I wasn't sure about MCC's capo or tuning, I put a question mark. If I wasn't sure about Jennings', I left
it blank. If you can help me fill in any of the blanks (from concerts or old TV appearances, perhaps), let
me know!

COME ON COME ON (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

---------------------------------------
[This is mostly based on Mary Chapin's performance of the song on the
TV show "Austin City Limits" in early 1993. Thanks to Julie Tissue
for the start.]
[I've written this tablature as if all six strings were played on every
chord, but that isn't really accurate. I only wrote out the tab to show
the rhythm and fingerings.]
[Every strum notated here is a downstroke with the thumb (no pick, no
fingernails). There are a few upstrokes in between the downstrokes, but
I haven't shown those.]
[Some possible names for the chords are at the end of the file. I didn't
put chord names about the tab because it would just be confusing. Oh,
and the lyrics aren't lined up with the rhythm...sorry.]
[Tuning: DADF#GD (yes, tune your B string down to G).]

It's a loss you never get over the first time you lose
[instrumental solo: same chords as the chorus, except the last measure is 000020
throughout (no 020100-020000). See tablature below for the lead guitar part.]
And tonight I am thinking of someone, seventeen years ago

We rode in his daddy's car down the river [skip two measures]
(road) Come on come on, it's getting late now; Come on come on, take my hand
Come on come on
[instrumental ending: same chords as chorus, but end on G (020100). Again, tab
for the lead guitar part is at the end of the file.]
CHORDS:
020100 = G/D 030100 = C(9)/D 000020 = D
777600 = Am7(4) 999800 = Gmaj7/B 450300 = D(4)/F#
020000 = Gmaj7/D 230000 = C(9)addF#/E 230100 = C(9)/E
222000 = Em9 [yuck!]
LEAD GUITAR:
In the recorded version of this song, the piano kind of dominates the
guitar, especially in the solo. However, the version that I've transcribed
here is from a 1993 tape of "Austin City Limits", because John Jennings'
lead guitar part is more interesting on "ACL" than on the album. And since
I have both video and audio for this song, it's probably the first time
I'm 100% sure that I've got the fingerings right!
Jennings' guitar, like MCC's, has a capo on the third fret, but his is in
standard tuning. The chord names above the tab are rough guides, since
the real chords have horrible names.
The slashes are slides up (/) and down (\), and the equal signs (=) are
pull-offs. Obviously, the "02," "242," and "353" sequences are hammer-ons
and pull-offs. "Triplet" or "tri" denote triplets. In the beginning of
each phrase (the part that sounds like "come on come on," put some vibrato
on the 3rd fret of the B string. Arpeggiate the triple stops (places where
you play three strings at once).

DOWN AT THE TWIST AND SHOUT (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

---------------------------------------------------
[Actually in A; capo at the 2nd fret]
C C
Saturday night and the moon is out
G G
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
D D
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
G G
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
C C - D
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
G G
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
D D G G
Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
D D
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
G G
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
D D
But I heard that music on the radio
G G
And I swore some day I was gonna go
Em Em
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
A7 A7
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget
D D
To send you a card with my regrets
D G
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home

They got an alligator stew and a crawfish pie

A gulf storm blowing into town tonight
Living on the delta's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
But here up north it's a cold, cold rain
And there ain't no cure for my blues today
Except when the paper says Beausoleil
Is a-coming into town, baby let's go down
It's Saturday night and the moon is out

Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too
They got lots of music and lots of room
When they play you a waltz from a-1910
You're gonna feel a little bit young again
Well you learned to dance with your rock and roll
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
But you learn to love at the fais-do-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon

DOWNTOWN TRAIN (by Tom Waits; recorded by Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Try using C(9) instead of C sometimes, and Dsus instead of D; I'm
not sure _exactly_ which chords are used.]
G G C D G G C D G G C D G G C D
[intro]
G G C D G G
Outside another yellow moon
C D
Has punched a hole in the nighttime
G G C D G G
I climb through the window and down to the street
C D
I'm shining like a new dime
C C D D
The downtown trains are full
C C D D
With all those Brooklyn girls
Em Em D/F# D/F#
They try so hard to break out of their little world
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows

They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Oh, be careful of them in the dark
And if I was the one

You chose to be your only one
Oh baby now, can't you hear me now
G G C C G G C C
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
G G C C Am Am D D (G...)
Where every night is just the same; You leave me lonely now
(Now) I know your window and I know it's late

I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the fourway
You watch them as they fall

Ooh, and they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back

Where every night, every night is just the same; you leave me lonely

Where every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown
G D G D G D D D
train [instrumental]
G D G D G D D D D D
[instrumental]
Where every night, every night is just the same, you leave me lonely

Where all my dreams just fall like the rain, all upon a downtown train

FAMILY HANDS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

------------------------------------
[Recorded in F. Mary Chapin plays in dropped-D tuning (DADGBE) in the key
of D, with a capo on the 3rd fret. John Jennings plays the lead part in
C with a capo on the 5th fret (and standard tuning).]
[All the verses aren't _exactly_ the same, but they're close enough
that I only wrote tablature for the first verse.]
[I wasn't able to write tablature for the rhythm guitar during the lead
guitar solos, because the lead guitar gets in the way. But I _have_
written down the exact chord shapes she uses.]

GIRLS WITH GUITARS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

[These chords are from Wynonna Judd's recorded version; the version that
Mary Chapin Carpenter does in concert is almost identical, except MCC
plays these chords with a capo on the third fret, raising it to C.]
[Each chord represents two beats, or half of a measure.]
[Play most of the chords with a typical rock 'n' roll feel, with sixths
on the offbeats (see tab at end of file). Play sevenths if you want.]

Well, Saturday nights she followed her brother

It was socks and stockings on the old gym floor
While everybody danced to garage band covers
She was checking out riffs and memorizing chords
She didn't care at all for the football heroes

She didn't even notice the basketball stars

GOING OUT TONIGHT (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
-----------------------------------------
[Actually in F; capo 5.]
[Each chord is about half a measure.]
[The rhythm is an important part of this song; I'd write it down, but
I think it's pretty easy to figure out from listening to the recording.
C is 332010, and C(9) is 330010.]
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)

[intro]
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)

I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)
I need a welcome smile and the grasp of an open hand
F F Am Am F F Am Am
Gonna sit for hours in a small dark place, catch up with a long lost face
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9)
And talk about how long it's really been
I'm going out tonight with perfume on my wrist

I'm need to find someone to show me what I've missed
And when I see that someone sittin' there, gonna tell your memory I don't care
If he offers something more than just a kiss
G G Em F F F F F
Underneath the moon so bright, I wanna fall tonight
G G G F
Beneath a spell
G G Em F F F F F
Underneath the sky so clear, I wanna find someone waiting there
G G G G
Who used to know me well
I'm going out tonight without a chaperone

I'm gonna leave that meddling heart of mine at home
'Cause it don't like crowds or closing time, neon blues or pickup lines
It makes me spend my Friday nights alone
Underneath the moon so bright [first guitar solo]

Underneath the sky so clear [second guitar solo]
I'm gonna tell myself that someone I adore

Is the one I'm with, ain't that what friends are for
'Cause my empty arms are open wide; I'm long on spite, and short on pride
And the old way isn't working anymore
C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C C(9) C.

I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend

LYRICS:
Every night she sleeps alone

And by her bed she puts the phone
And every morning after that
She takes the phone and puts it back
He's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown
And goodbye again
She keeps his picture tucked away

She thinks she'll have it framed one day
And maybe he'll come see it there
Hanging by her rocking chair
In a corner of her room on a Sunday afternoon

When all the world is dull and gray
She might close her eyes and sit, rocking gently for a bit
Till all the bad thoughts go away
[piano solo: A/E A/E E7sus E7sus A/E A/E D(9) D(9) ]
[ A/E A/E E7sus E7sus D(9) D(9) D(9) D(9) ]
Back when children played their games

London Bridge and Jesse James
She captured flags, she bounced the ball
And every time, she beat them all
And now she comes home to a cat in a three-room walk-up flat

And plays a game of solitaire
Well she made a fist last night, and she broke the hallway light
And the pieces scattered everywhere
You see, he's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown
And goodbye again
[End on D(9).]

[intro]
D D G D D D G D
Late one night when the wind was still
D D A D D D A D
Daddy brought the baby to the window sill
D D G D D D G D
To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky
D D A D D D A D
The one and only time Daddy saw it fly
A A D D
It came from the east just as bright as a torch
G D A D
The neighbors had a party on their porch
A A Bm G
Daddy rocked the baby, Mother said "amen"
D D A D
When Halley came to visit in nineteen ten
D D G D D D A D D D G D D D A D
[instrumental]
Now back then Jackson was a real small town

And it's not every night a comet comes around
It was almost eighty years since its last time through
So I bet your mother would've said "amen" too
As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak

The papers wrote about it every day for a week
They wondered where it's going and where it's been
When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
A A D D G D A D A A Bm G G G G D D A D
[instrumental]
D5 ...
Now Daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms
To dream a little dream of a comet's charms
And he made a little wish as she slept so sound
In nineteen eighty-six that wish came 'round ... D D A D
A A D D
It came from the east, just as bright as a torch
G D A D
She saw it in the sky from her daddy's porch
A A Bm G [pause]
As heavenly sent as it was back then
D Bm A D
When Halley came to Jackson in nineteen ten

She makes his coffee, she makes his bed

She does the laundry, she keeps him fed
D D Am Am
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
D D Em - C D
She said forever with a smile upon her face
She does the carpool, she PTA's

Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And every christmas card showed a perfect family
G D C D G
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
D C D
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he'll keep her
G D C D G
Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
D C D
God forbid you'd change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her
G G Em C
[instrumental]
She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits

With no expression upon her face
When she was thirty-six she met him at the door
She said, "I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore"

God forbid you'd change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her
[4 bars of instrumental]

For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
D D Em - C D
Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage

At least until you change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her

I grew up in a house like this, we knew the groan of every stair
All the walls seemed to listen in, all the years seemed to take up air
C(9) C(9) D G/B C(9) C(9) D G/B
When you dreamed it was of the wind blowing cold and hard
C(9) C(9) D G/B Am7 Am7 D D D D

G Gsus G Gsus
[instrumental]
I grew up in a town like this, we knew the names of every street

On the surface it looked so safe, but it was perilous underneath
That's the place you shoved your doubts and hid your ugly scars
God forbid if word got out about your house of cards
C C C C D D G G/F#
And now I feel the wind about to blow, and baby I'm so scared
Em Em Bm7 Bm7 Am7
You're repeating the past instead of letting it go

Now we're standing here face to face, afraid to move or else

I wanna prop up this fragile place, I can't do it all by myself
'Cause when we dream, it's of the wind, blowing cold and hard
When we wake up we still live in a house of cards
'Cause when we dream, it's of the wind, blowing cold and hard
When we wake up we still live in a house of cards

I FEEL LUCKY (Mary-Chapin Carpenter & Don Schlitz)

--------------------------------------------------
[Actually in B; capo at the 7th fret]
E E E E E E E E
[intro]
E E
Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
E E
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
A A
It only took a moment for my finger to find
E E
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign
B B
My eyes just about popped out of my head
E [stop] n.c.
It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed"
A A E E
I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah
B B
No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way
E [stop] n.c. E E E E
Mmmmm, I feel lucky today [instrumental]
Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk

The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's
Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
I heard a voice above me saying, "girl, you better get back home"
But I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah

No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away
Mmmmm, I feel lucky today
A A E E B B E B
[Guitar solo]
E [stop]
Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar
(D) E [stop]
I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
A [stop]
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye
(D) E [stop]
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
(A) B [stop] B [stop]
The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
E E7
Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do
I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah

Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight
Hot dog, I'm feeling lucky tonight
I feel lucky, brrrrr, I feel lucky, yeah

Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way
Mmmmmm, I feel lucky today

I took a walk in the rain one day

I stood on the rails till I saw that train
G D C C
Just to see how my heart would react
Em Bm C C
Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate

And for them I can not disagree
G D Em C
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe
G G/B C C
I say fate should not tempt me
(C) G D C C G D C C
I take my chances; I don't mind working without a net
(C) G D C C G D C C
I take my chances; I take my chances every chance I get
I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote

I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat
He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check
I flipped the channel back to CNN, and I lit another cigarette
I take my chances; yes, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt

G D C C G D C C G D C C G D C C
[guitar solo]
I've crossed lines of words and wire, and both have cut me deep
I've been frozen out and I've been on fire, and the tears are mine to weep
But I can cry until I laugh, or laugh until I cry
So cut the deck right in half, I'll play from either side
I take my chances; I pay my dollar and I place my bet

I take my chances; yeah, I don't cling to remorse or regret
I take my chances...
[Repeat G D C C; end on G.]
[Concert ad-lib lyrics:]

No remorse, no regrets
I chewed another Nicorette
I ordered up some crepes Suzette
I found Elvis on the Internet
I went camping with a young cadet
He showed me his bayonet
I looked at him and said, "you should get an Erector set"
Who needs a boyfriend, you can get a pet

Well I know it ain't been roses lately, baby, it's just been thorns
And no matter what we do, nothing seems to change
Love has always been my shelter, for you it's been a storm
But for a while I thought we'd almost beat the rain
Now there's a hole here in my pocket where all my dreams have gone
Fallen out like so many nickels and dimes
And last of all you, you'd always been my good luck charm
I should've known that luck's a waste of time
'Cause it don't bring you love if you don't love

And it don't bring you time if you ain't got time
And it don't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong
And it don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
Now there's a whole lot of life to be unsure of

But there's one thing I can safely say I know
That of all the things that finally desert us
Pride is always the last thing to go
But it won't bring you love if you don't love

And it won't bring you time if you ain't got time
And it won't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong
And it won't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
Dm7 G C F Dm E+ - Fm6 C Gsus - G - G(9) - G

[Guitar solo; see below]
And now I wish you only roses, baby, without the thorns
And I hope your dreams are always within reach
And I wish you shelter, baby, from all your storms
They scared you, but they never seemed to teach
That I can't bring you love if you don't love

And I can't bring you time if you ain't got time
And I can't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong
And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
Here's my rendition of the guitar solo ('t'aint perfect, I know):
~ means bend it up a half-step, then back down again.

// is a slide.
There's a few hammer-ons/pull-offs that I couldn't notate because
there was no room between the numbers; you can figure 'em out.

JOHN DOE NO. 24 (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

---------------------------------------
This song is in the key of E, but Mary Chapin plays it in G with a

capo at the 9th fret, in open D tuning (DADF#AD). But the highest
string is never used, so you don't have to tune that one down; since
high E's often break, you may as well tune to DADF#AE.
The guitar part repeats one pattern through the entire song, with some
slight variations. This tablature is for the first four measures of
the song, and it shows two ways to play the end of the pattern; through
most of the song, she uses the second way, especially while she's
singing. (Note that the "131" in the tab is a hammer-on followed by a
pull-off, and the "13" is a hammer-on from 1 to 3, not thirteen!)

I'm not sure exactly which fingers she uses; she might use her thumb
to fret the low E. (If anyone finds out, let me know!) Notice that
I didn't put chord names; that's because they don't really matter.
I guess you could say the chords are: G(9), C(9)/E, Gsus4/D, D(4).
LYRICS (each line is two measures):
I was standing on the sidewalk in 1945

In Jacksonville, Illinois
When asked what my name was there came no reply
They said I was a deaf and sightless half-wit boy
But Louis was my name, though I could not say it
I was born and raised in New Orleans
My spirit was wild, so I let the river take it
On a barge and a prayer upstream
Well they searched for a mother and they searched for a father
And they searched till they searched no more
The doctors put to rest their scientific tests
And they named me "John Doe No. 24"
And they all shook their heads in pity
For a world so silent and dark
Well there's no doubt that life's a mystery
But so too is the human heart
And it was my heart's own perfume when the crepe jasmine bloomed
On St. Charles Avenue
Though I couldn't hear the bells of the streetcars coming
By toeing the track I knew
And if I were an old man returning
With my satchel and porkpie hat
I'd hit every jazz joint on Bourbon
And I'd hit everyone on Basin after that
[sixteen-bar saxophone solo]
The years kept passing as they passed me around

From one state ward to another
Like I was an orphan shoe from the lost and found
Always missing the other
And they gave me a harp last Christmas
And all the nurses took a dance
But lately I've been growing listless
I've been dreaming again of the past
I'm wandering down to the banks of the great Big Muddy

Where the shotgun houses stand
I am seven years old and I feel my dad
Reach out for my hand
While I drew breath no one missed me
So they won't on the day that I cease
Put a sprig of crepe jasmine with me
To remind me of New Orleans

[pause on A note (open 2nd string)]
[repeat and fade with saxophone solo]

JUBILEE (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

-------------------------------
[Each chord is half of a 6/8 measure.]
[I usually play G as 320033 and C(9) as x32033, but MCC just plays G and C:
320003 and 332010. And she probably just plays Em (022000) instead of the
Em7 (022033) that I play. (I play them differently because I don't have a
whole band behind me to "fill in" the sound.)]
[But, in the intro, it looks like she plays C as x32033 or x32013, and
D as x54035 or x54030: not really D, but rather D(11) or D11.]
[Someone suggested to me that she might play it in EADGBD tuning; that
actually _sounds_ pretty good, but based on the videotape, I don¹t think
that¹s how she does it. But try it for a change of pace.]
[And one more note: in some of the verses (notably the one that starts with
"I can tell by the way you're listening"), the first four chords are
G D/F# C/E G instead of G C G G.]
G C(9) G D G C(9) G D
[intro]
G C(9) G D G C(9) G D
[intro]
G C(9) G G
I can tell by the way you're walking
C(9) G D D
That you don't want company
G C(9) G G
I'll let you alone and I'll let you walk on
C(9) G D D
And in your own good time you'll be
C(9) G Em7 Em7

Back where the sun can find you
C(9) G D D
Under the wise wishing tree
G C(9) G G
And with all of them made we'll lie under the shade
C(9) G D D
And call it a jubilee
And I can tell by the way you're talking

That the past isn't letting you go
But there's only so long you can take it all on
And then the wrong's gotta be on its own
And when you're ready to leave it behind you

You'll look back, and all that you'll see
Is the wreckage and rust that you left in the dust
C(9) D G G
On your way to the jubilee
G C(9) G G C(9) G D D
[instrumental]
And I can tell by the way you're listening

That you're still expecting to hear
Your name being called like a summons to all
Who have failed to account for their doubts and their fears
They can't add up to much without you

And so if it were just up to me
I'd take hold of your hand, saying come hear the band
C(9) D G G
Play your song at the jubilee
C(9) G Em7 Em7 C(9) G D D

[instrumental]
G C(9) G G C(9) G D D
[instrumental]
And I can tell by the way you're searching

For something you can't even name
That you haven't been able to come to the table
Simply glad that you came
And when you feel like this try to imagine

That we're all like frail boats on the sea
Just scanning the night for that great guiding light
C(9) G D D
Announcing the jubilee
And I can tell by the way you're standing

With your eyes filling with tears
That it's habit alone keeps you turning for home
Even though your home is right here
Where the people who love you are gathered

Under the wise wishing tree
May we all be considered then straight on delivered
C(9) G D D
Down to the jubilee
C(9) G Em7 Em7

'Cause the people who love you are waiting
C(9) G D [hold for 1.5 measures]
And they'll wait just as long as need be
G C(9) G G
When we look back and say those were halcyon days
C(9) D G G
We're talking 'bout jubilee
G C(9) G G C(9) G D D
[instrumental]
G C(9) G G C(9) D G G.

MIDDLE GROUND (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

[Actually in A, so capo at the 2nd fret]
[Each chord is about half a measure (but many measures are broken up 3:5).]
G D G D C D C D G D G D C D C D
[intro]
G D G D
For years she's lived on her own
C D C D
In a corner of the city
G D G D
Twice a year she gets back home
C D C D
Playing catch-up with the family
She tells her folks what they need to know

Her mother says she's much too thin
Her sisters ask about her beau
Her dad inquires, how's business been
C D G C
She's thirty-three this time around
C D G C
She's always been real good at listening
C D G C
Her sense of humor never lets her down
C Em C D
Except sometimes there's something missing
G Am D D
Hey, middle ground
G Am D D
A place between up and down
G Am D D
She could be safe and sound
G Am C D
Oh, to know middle ground
G D G D C D C D
[instrumental]
For years she's been on her guard

She's kind of tense around the shoulders
She wonders why she works so hard
She counts the days 'til they promote her
She'll take a weekend now and then

To stay in bed and watch the reruns
She'll turn the phone off when guilt sets in
But Sunday always kinda leaves her let down
Hey, middle ground; a place between up and down

She could be safe and sound; oh, to know middle ground
F F C C D G D G
She gave her heart away one time, and says that she hasn't seen it since
F F C C A A C C
Love's a puzzle in her mind; the pieces match, but don't quite fit; hey...
G Am D D G Am D D G Am D D G Am C D
[guitar solo]
G D G D C D C D
[instrumental]
And these days run thick or thin

It never rains, or else it's pouring
All her single friends are men
She thinks married girls are so damn boring

G Am C D G Am C D G Am C D.
Oh, to know middle ground; oh, to know middle ground [instrumental]

But babe, you know, I still look out for you
The cars were all abandoned on the city streets

When snow had left us stranded then we used our feet
And wound up drinking whiskey in a crowded bar
And now when it starts storming I wonder where you are
'Cause you said that I was crazy to believe in you

You said to never trust a man who sings the blues
Well trust and that old guitar was all you'd ever need
If you found a way to love the girl in me
[Chorus]
[Guitar solo: C G F F etc.]
Other boys I knew were just like shiny dimes

Tossed and spent, they came and went a hundred times
Nothing was as rough on me as giving up on you
Now it seems like every bar in town's got boys who sing the blues

Where I used to take the time for quiet and reflection

Now I only hear the noise of what I am without

On those golden wedding bands, wrapped around their fingers

I'm back in this familiar place, outside looking in

[instrumental]
Baby, all the tears between us couldn't fill the spaces

And all the word we grasped at, they just fell away
I kept waiting on forgiveness to fix the broken places
But nothing even like it ever came my way
And tonight I drove around, and the street came up before me

I took a turn and then I found this old house coming toward me
I heard the sound a heart must make when a memory's caving in
Oh baby, what a hungry place, outside looking in

It's where we linger like a sigh, it's where we long to be pulled in

PASSIONATE KISSES (Lucinda Williams)

------------------------------------
* These chords match Mary-Chapin Carpenter's cover version.
* Lucinda Williams' recording of this song is in E, so you'd have to put
a capo at the fourth fret to match the recording if you use these chords.
* Mary-Chapin Carpenter's recording is in D, and I know she plays it in
C with a capo at the second fret.
* In the instrumental bits, I put bar lines (|) to separate measures;
everywhere else in the song, one chord is one measure.
* The rhythm guitar doesn't actually play all those chords in the intro,
but it sounds neat. (It actually plays just C G Am F.)
* Mix up some (9)'s with the C's and F's.

Someone met John Jenning's (MCC's guitarist) after a concert and asked
him how he plays this song in concert; he wrote it down in standard musical
notation, someone sent it to me, and I converted it to tablature. (But
there's no guarantee that this is where John Jennings puts his fingers.)
The ">" marks are accents.
[Note that this is NOT the recorded version; this is how Jennings plays it
on stage with a smaller band. The recorded version has more than one
electric guitar.]

QUITTIN' TIME
(by Robb Royer & Roger Linn;
performed by Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
-----------------------------------
Okay, a couple notes about this song. First of all, the electric guitar
plays this song in D, and Mary-Chapin plays the acoustic guitar in C, capoed
up two frets (as I've written it here).
Don't worry too much about the bass notes in the chorus; they were just
so obvious I had to put them in.
The little riff at the end of the C Fmaj7 G G lines (after "tell me what
we're gonna do") is just Gsus4-Gsus4-G, Gsus4-Gsus4-G. Finger G as 320003,
and use your index finger to do the first fret on the B string. (Of course,
it's Asus4-Asus4-A if you play it in D.)
Each chord is half a measure. Capo 2.
One more thing: in her 1994 Acoustic Tour, MCC performed a slowed-down
version of this song. The chords were pretty much the same, but it was
finger-picked instead of strummed, and there was an E or E7 chord between
the G and Am, right before "But you pretend..." Try it.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G

[intro]
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G
Hey baby, tell me what we're gonna do
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G
It's getting crazy and I need some help from you
C C F F G G G G
We were so connected that you were a part of me
C C F F G G G G
Now I feel an emptiness right to the heart of me
Am G/B C C F C/E G G
But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine
Am G/B C F
And though we should be at an end
Am F (2/4) G
It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin' time
(4/4) C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G G G G
[instrumental]
Hey baby, I'm running out of things to say (C C FM7 FM7 G G G G)

Please don't hate me, this feeling just won't go away (C C FM7 FM7 G G G G)
Now we're spending all our time caught in a fantasy (C C F F G G G G)
Just trying to keep in mind the way it used to be (C C F F G G G G)
[Chorus]
[Guitar solo, same chords as chorus]

[Repeat second verse]
But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine (Am G C C F C G G)

And though we should be at an end (Am G C F)
It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin' time (Am F G C)
But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine (Am G C C F C G G)

And though we should be at an end (Am G C F)
It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin'... (Am F G)
(So hard admittin' when it's quittin'...) (Am F G)
So hard admittin' when it's quittin' time (Am F G C)

RHYTHM OF THE BLUES (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------------
[This song is actually in F. These chords with the lyrics are the chords
that Mary-Chapin Carpenter plays; she has a capo on the 3rd fret and plays
it in D. John Jennings plays it in C with a capo at the fifth fret.]
D A Em7 Em7 D A Em7 Em7

[intro]
D A Em7 Em7
I can hear the rain come down, I can listen with my heart
D A Em7 Em7
I can see with both eyes closed in the dark
G G (D) G G
Sleep will come in just a while but till it does I choose
D Bm G G
To listen to the rain, it's the rhythm of the blues
I walk along these streets of home that once belonged to us

And now baby I walk alone and I am lost
In the sound of my own footsteps on the avenues
I guess I'm only walking to rhythm of the blues
F#m Bm G A F#m Bm G A
I don't wanna hear another word spoken, I don't wanna see another tear shed
F#m Bm G A C C G G G G
I can't seem to fix what's broken, like this record baby in my head
D A Em7 Em7 D A Em7 Em7

[instrumental]
Lonely looks as bad on me as lonely looks on you

And still we keep on moving to the rhythm of the blues
I want a place to call my own, where you have never been

I wanna look around and know you won't be coming back again
On some pretense paper-thin that I can see right through
You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues
You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues
You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues...
[end on G]
TABLATURE
---------
[Note that the tab parts are written as if there is a capo at the fifth
fret, since this is how John Jennings plays the song. I'm not sure that
these are the _exact_ fingerings that Jennings uses, but they work.]
INTRO:
[This is played twice, more or less. The notes in parentheses are probably
played by the other guitar. The "strum" markers note places where there's
a noticable strum, but I don't know on which notes.]

arpeggio effect. Doesn't work as well with bare fingers.]
[A variation: at the end of the second C measure, instead of 3-2-0, play
it like the end of the second G measure (but on the D & G strings).]

Life's too short to be so apprehensive
Love's as much the symptom, darling, as the cure
Oh, baby, when I feel this feeling

It's like the genuine voodoo hits me
Wooooo, hooooo
Oh baby, I can feel this feeling

SLOW COUNTRY DANCE (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

------------------------------------------
[Actually in A; capo at the 2nd fret.]
C D G G
[intro]
G C G D
Out on the floor the couples are swaying
G C G D
To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight
Em7 C G D
You slide in your coins and the music keeps playing
G C D G
A slow country dance on a Saturday night
G C G D
Sweethearts in love and others just lonely
G C G D
Searching for someone to waltz with tonight
Em7 C G D
In a smoky old bar you know that it's only
G C D G G
A slow country dance on a Saturday night
F C G D
And love's never easy or ever as true
F C G D D
When the changing of partners is no longer new
G C G D
You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes
G C D G
Dance just to dance in three-quarter time
G C D G
[instrumental]
Down at the bar a woman tells stories

Batting her eyes to someone not there
Her glass is half full or maybe half empty
Like the jokes told about her when they think she can't hear
Now the perfume is cheap and the makeup is careless

And the dress out of fashion for a woman her age
But she don't give a damn for those who would cherish
A much lighter step and a much younger face
And love's never easy or ever as true

When the changing of partners is no longer new
You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes
Dance just to dance in three-quarter time
G C G D G C G D
[instrumental]
Em7 C G D G C D G G

Out on the floor the couples are swaying

SOMETHING OF A DREAMER (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

----------------------------------------------
[Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this in A with a capo on the 2nd fret;
John Jennings' lead part is in G with a capo on the 4th fret. The
chords written here are MCC's.]
[It's possible that MCC's guitar is in a weird tuning, but I can't tell
for sure.]
[The E* chords alternate between Esus4 and E.]

the inspiration to write this one down.]

[intro; see tab at end for details]
[intro]
A D/F# E* E*
She used to watch him from afar
A D/F# E E
She used to dream about him, and she'd wish upon a star that
A D/F# E* E*
One day he'd want her for his own
A D/F# E A
Throw caution to the wind, and with a grin he'd take her home
D E A D
She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
D E F#m E [note: no A chord here]
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
And she used to hear his voice at night

A sweet whisper from the shadows, dancing with the back porch light
And she used to feel him in the wind
His warm breath upon her neck, and goosebumps up and down her skin

Well she should have known by now, but that's the foolish part of her
D E F#m E - A

When heartbreak fast approaches, when a love ain't truly love

STONES IN THE ROAD (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

------------------------------------------
[Actually in Bb; capo 3; tuning: DADF#GD.]
[The chords need some explanation. There are two ways to play G, and two
ways to play D. The chords that say G? or D? are places where she sometimes
plays it one way, and sometimes the other. (It doesn't mean I'm not sure
about the chord!) Also, the chord names are over-simplified; Am7 is really
Am7(4), Em is really Em9, etc.]
[G = 055500; D = 000020; C(9) = 230100; D* = 453000; Am7 = 777600;

G* = 020100; Gsus4 = 030100; Em = 222000; Em/D = 022000; Em* = 222100.]
[Thanks a lot to Chris Pelow (pelow@krdc.int.alcan.ca) for the help with the
chord fingerings, and John Smiley (jd4147@halcyon.com) for the videotape.]

G D C(9) C(9) D? D? Am7 Am7

When we were young, we pledged allegiance every morning of our lives
G D C(9) C(9) D? D? G? G?
The classroom rang with children's voices under teacher's watchful eye
G D C(9) C(9) D? D? Am7 Am7
We learned about the world around us at our desks and at dinnertime
G D C(9) C(9) D? D? G? G?
Reminded of the starving children, we cleaned our plates with guilty minds
C(9) C(9) D D G* Gsus4 - G* D D

And the stones in the road shone like dia - monds in the dust
Am7 Am7 Em Em/D C(9) G* D D
And then a voice called to us to make our way back home
When I was ten, my father held me on his shoulders above the crowd
To see a train draped in mourning pass slowly through our town
His widow kneeled with all their children at the sacred burial ground
And the TV glowed that long hot summer with all the cities burning down
And the stones in the road flew out beneath our bicycle tires
Worlds removed from all those fires as we raced each other home
[guitar solo; same as intro.]

[piano solo; use intro/verse chords.]
C(9) C(9) C(9) C(9) D D G* G*

And now we drink our coffee on the run, we climb that ladder rung by rung
C(9) C(9) C(9) C(9) Em* C(9) D D D D
We are the daughters and the sons, and here's the line that's missing
The starving children have been replaced by souls out on the street
We give a dollar when we pass, and hope our eyes don't meet
We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner suite
We kiss your ass, we make you hold, we doctor the receipt
And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels
Another day, another deal, before we get back home
And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came
A thousand points of light or shame, baby, I don't know
[repeat guitar solo three times; end on G.]

Well it's a strange old game, you learn it slow

One step forward and it's back you go
D7 D7 D7 D7
You're standing on the throttle, you're standing on the brake
D7 D7
In the groove till you make a mistake

Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug

Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger baby, sometimes you're the ball
D7 D7 D7 C - G
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're gonna lose it all
You gotta know happy, you gotta know glad

Because you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know sad
When you're rippin' and a-ridin' and you're coming on strong
You start slippin' and a-slidin' and it all goes wrong
Because sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug

Sometimes it all falls together baby, sometimes you're a fool in love
A7 A7(sus4) A7 D7 A7 A7 A7 C - G D7 D7 D7 D7
[guitar solo]
One day you got the glory, and then you got none
One day you're a diamond, and then you're a stone
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll before we say goodbye

Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're just a fool in love

THE END OF MY PIRATE DAYS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

these sound pretty good. Feedback is appreciated.]

Bsus Bsus E E
Last time I felt this near to whispered ecstacy

And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas

And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams

We rose and fell just like the tides, he filled my heart and soul and I

Buried all my dreams for someone else to find in my pirate days

This world is kinder to the kind that won't look back

And one day he turned to me, and before I took one breath

I knew I would only see his shadow in what light was left

THE HARD WAY (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

[These are the chords for the acoustic (rhythm) guitar; capo at the 2nd
fret. The electric guitars play it in D with no capo. Frankly, either way
is pretty easy, but I wrote the chords down for the acoustic. The tab at

Everything we got, we got the hard way
Show a little passion, baby, show a little style

And show the knack for knowing when and the gift for knowing how
And have a little trust in us when fear obscures the path
You know we got this far, darling, not by luck, but by never turning back
Some will call on destiny, but I just call on faith

That the world won't stop, and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart, to what your heart might say

THE LAST WORD (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

-------------------------------------
[In concert, MCC performed this in the key of F; she was playing in C
with a capo at the 5th fret (it was a segue from "This Shirt"), and
John Jennings played in E with a capo on the 1st fret. On the CD, the
song is in Eb; she plays in C with a capo at the 3rd fret, and Jennings
plays in E with the guitar tuned down 1/2 step. These are the chords
that MCC plays, so capo 3.]

Can't seem to keep the faith, as if that's all I need to do
Dm7 C/E F G - Gsus - G
I'd rather walk away than take what belongs to you
Some words will cut you down like you were only in the way
Why should I stand ths ground, it won't hurt as much to say
Sometimes we're blinded by the very thing we need to see

I finally realized that you need it more than you need me

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
----------------------------------------------
[Capo 3]
[Each chord is one measure]
[Actually, the Em's almost sound like E5's and the A's in the verse
sound like A5's...]
Em Em Em Em
[intro]
Em Em
Well I think of you sometimes at night
Em Em
And sometimes it's still the same
Em Em B7 B7
The way that it was when I was the keeper of your flame
Em Em
We all have our ghosts, we all have our doubts
A G
I'm no different with you or without
Em B7 Em Em
But one thing's certain: only the names have changed
And I think of you sometimes baby

When an old friend gives a call
And to hear us talk you'd think I felt nothing at all
'Cause nothing remains that used to be yours
We all have our way of closing the door
But it takes some time to get up when you fall
A G
But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
Em A
Way back when you pledged your love
Em Em B7 B7
And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain
A G
Now I hear all about your running around
Em A
Man you're a legend all over town
Em B7 Em Em
The more things change, the more they remain the same
[Guitar solo, same chords as verse]
Sometimes I wonder if you've ever heard

The sound of a broken heart
It ain't real pretty, it ain't the thing the nice folks talk about
And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Is face the one who's done it to you
His eye's like an angel's, they're so devout
But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
Way back when you pledged your love
And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain

If you ever need some proof that time can heal your wounds, just step
inside my heart and walk around these rooms; where the shadows used to be,
you can feel as well as see how peace can hover
Time's been here to fix what's broken with its power and the love that
smashed us both to bits spent its last few hours calling out your name,
and I thought, this is the kind of pain from which we don't recover
But I'm standing here now with my heart held out to you
You would have thought a miracle was all that got us through
Well baby, all I know, all I know is I'm still standing
And this is love, all that ever was and will be

This is love, standing up for you baby, standing up for me

And I see you still and there's this catch in my

[instrumental]
If you ever think of me, let it be around twilight, when the world has
settled down, and the last round of sunlight is waning in the sky as you
sit and watch the night descending
A car will pass out front with lovers at the wheel, a dog will bark out
back, and children's voices peal over and under the air, you've been there,
lost in the remembering
If you ever wish for things that are only in the past
Just remember that the wrong things aren't supposed to last
Baby, it's over and done, the rest is gonna come when you let it
And this is love, all that ever was and will be

This is love, when you let it baby, if you let it now
This is love, all that ever was and can be
This is love

This shirt is old and faded, all the color's washed away

I've had it more damn years than I can count anyway
Am Am/G Fmaj9 G6
I wear it beneath my jacket, with the collar turned up high
Am Am/G Fmaj9 G6 C C(4) C C(9)/B
So old I should replace it, but I'm not about to try
This shirt's got silver buttons, and a place upon the sleeve
Where I used to set my heart up right there where anyone could see
This shirt is the one I wore to every boring high school dance
Where the boys ignored the girls and we all pretended to like the band
Em Fmaj9 C G6
This shirt was a pillow for my head on a train through Italy
Em Fmaj9 C G6
This shirt was a blanket beneath the love we made in Argeles
Em Fmaj9 C G6
This shirt was lost for three whole days in a town near Buffalo
Am C/G D9/F# G6 C C(4) C C(9)/B
Till I found the locker key in a downtown Trailways bus depot
This shirt is the one I lent you, and when you gave it back
It had a rip inside the sleeve where you rolled your cigarettes
It was the place I put my heart, now look at where you put a tear
I forgave your thoughtlessness, but not the boy who put it there
This shirt was the place your cat decided to give birth to five
And we stayed up all night watching, and we wept when the last one died
This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton
Shining like memories inside those silver buttons
This shirt is a grand old relic with a grand old history

I wear it now for Sunday chores, cleaning house and raking leaves
I wear it beneath my jacket with the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it, but I'm not about to try

WALKING THROUGH FIRE (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

--------------------------------------------
[This song is actually in the key of A, then it switches to B; I'm guessing
that Mary Chapin plays it in G & A with a capo on the second fret.]
[On a single guitar, you can do a pretty good rendition of the descending
pattern in C(9)-D by playing C(9) as x30010 and then changing to x30000
right before the D. For D(9) (in the latter part of the song), play it
as xx0230, and then xx0220 right before the E.]
G G C(9) D G G C(9) D G G C(9) D G G C(9) D

[intro]
G G C(9) D G G C(9) D
When you set a match to your heart, fueling it with bitterness and doubt

I know you're scared, but no one's spared when you play with matches

You got me walking through fire
G G C(9) D
You got me walking through fire
Maybe you've been burned by lovers, maybe you've been scarred by the pain
But baby, I'm not like the others, drawing moths to a flame
Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark, consuming all it catches
And you got me walking through fire
You got me walking through fire to get to you
Got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
You got me walking through fire (walking through fire)

I can read your eyes just like a book
Gmaj7 G6
You tell me different, but I know that look
C C Gmaj7 G6
And I don't have to guess what's between the lines
So what in the world am I still doing here

You push me away when I get too near
Saying love's too simple to analyze
D C
So why do I feel confused
D C
Why do I feel so used
C C Am
Like a worn-out thought you threw away
D Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 G6
It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say
Where are the windows, where are the doors?

I haven't the key to your heart anymore
I haven't a clue to what's gone wrong
'Cause you look at me sometimes as if I weren't there

You say you're listening, but you never hear
The strains of silence have grown so strong
I never wanted to doubt you

But I'd be better off without you
I'm no good at looking the other way
Em C
So look at me one last time
D G
With eyes that still know how to shine
Em C
Hold me like you won't let go
Am D Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 G6 (etc.)
But you let go anyway
No one belongs where they're not wanted

You're just a ghost, and my heart is haunted
When I said goodbye, you didn't even beg me to stay
No baby, it wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say

WHEN SHE'S GONE (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

---------------------------------------
[Actually in F; capo 5.]
[The lines that are just F and C actually have some F(9)'s and C(9)'s in
them; that's all spelled out at the end.]
F C
She threw her purse upon the bed
F C
She looked around and shook her head
F C
There's really nothing left, she said
G C
There's nothing I ain't done

She wore your favorite dress tonight

She hoped her hair would catch the light

And you just sat there gettin' tight

On double shots of rum
Am F
You don't care what people say
G C
They're gonna say it anyway
Am F
You don't hear what you can't use
G C
It's always been the same old news

You don't beg and you don't plead

Or miss a thing that you don't need

[instrumental]
Morning comes on an old cat's paws

And when the sun hits the walls
The light's as bright as it ever was
After or before
And you wince as waking pounds your head
And you drag your arm across the bed
And the tangled sheets and the twisted spread
Fall onto the floor
And the kitchen table finds you silent

If you had a thought, now you can't find it
You take a long drag on your smoke
And taste your coffee growing cold
She didn't beg and you didn't plead
She knew exactly how to leave
The way she knew when you kissed her
She didn't beg and you didn't plead

She knew exactly when to leave
The way she knew as you kissed her

[Instrumental; repeat and fade]
Here's the strumming pattern for most of the song. The funny-looking
lines are musical notes. The numbers above the notes are just the relative
durations, for the benefit of the notationally impaired.
The first chord of each line is actually just a single note, or perhaps
just the two or three lowest strings. The last C(9) in the first two lines
is only played sometimes; other times, it's just an eighth note at the end
of the measure, and other times there's _no_ chord after the C*.
F: x33211 or 133211 (fret the E string with your thumb)

F(9): x33011 or 133011 (fret the E string with your thumb)
C(9): 330010
C*: hammer-on (quickly) from 330010 to 332010

WHY WALK WHEN YOU CAN FLY (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

-------------------------------------------------
[I've no idea how Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this song. In concert, it
looked like she was playing with a capo on the 7th fret. Since the song
is in B, that would mean she was playing the chords in E. The only way I
can picture that is if she was using chords like x46600 for C#m, a la "The
End of My Pirate Days." I do know for sure that she wasn't using nice,
normal chords. Maybe her capo was at 6 or 9, or maybe she had her guitar
tuned funny. If anyone finds out, please let me know.]
[I'm going to write these chords down in the key of G, since I know that's
where John Jennings played them, with a capo on the 4th fret.]

[I've no idea how Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this song. In concert, she
plays it with a capo on the 7th fret. Since the song is in B, that would
mean she's playing in E, and the verse chords are B E A A. She's clearly
using a very strange tuning, because I can't for the life of me figure out
how she's getting those chords out of the positions she uses. Any ideas?]

I'm standing here freezing in a phone booth, baby

In the middle of god-knows-where
Am F G C - G/B
I've got one quarter left, your machine picks up
Am G F F
But baby I know you're there

And I just start crying 'cause it makes no sense
Dm7 Dm7 C/G G Am F
To waste these words and twenty-five cents on a losing game
G C - G/B Am F G C
Ba - by, you win again
I've been turning it over and over again

Like a stone I'm waiting to wish on
I've been holding my breath, just wondering when
You'll make some sort of decision
To let me in or to let me go
I always lose if I never know where I fit in
Baby, you win again
Bb Bb Dm7 G
I can't be right if I'm always wrong
C F Am Gsus - G
I can't stand up if I'm always kneeling

Last night I dreamed we were standing here

On the corner of Love and Heartache
You jumped into your car, you found first gear
And baby, I felt the earth shake
And I woke up trembling with my heart in my throat
'Cause there's never a look, a word, or a note at the bitter end
Baby, you win again
I can't be right if I'm always wrong

I can't stand up if I'm always kneeling
At your altar or at your throne
You could show just a little feeling for who I am
Baby, you win again

Subject: Song
Some people wanted this song for a while so here is a version that is pretty
close but not totally correct
Strawberry Wine
by Deanna Carter
Tabbed by Jason Pauken
Capo 1st fret
Am
He was working thru college
C G
On my granpa's farm
Am
I was thursten for knowledge
C G
And he had a car
Am C G
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
Am C G
One restless summer we found love growing wild
Am C G
On the banks of a river near a well beaten path
Am C G
Ain't it funny how those memories they last
Chorus
Am C
Like Strawberry Wine
G
Seventeen
Am
The hot july moon
C G
Saw everything
Am C G
My first taste of love was bittersweet
Am C
Like Green on the Vine (not sure if this is correct)
G
Strawberry Wine
Verse 2
I still remember
when thirty was old
My biggest fear was september
when he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
we drifted away like the leaves in the fall
but year after year I come back to this place
just to rembeber the taste of
Chorus
Verse 3
The fields have grown over now
years since the've seen the plow
there'e nothing time hasn't touched
Was it really him or the loss of my innocence
I'm missing so much!
Yaaaaaah.
That's it you should be able to pick up the strumming pattern from the cd.
Happy to give back a song since I have taken so many!

Here is a version I have:
Wildwood Flower
---------------
The Carter Family
C G7 C
I will twine and will mingle my raven black hair
C G7 C
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
C F C
And the myrtle so green of an emerald hue
C G7 C
And the pale emanita and islip so blue
Oh he promised to love me, he promised to love

And cherish me always all others above
I woke from my dream and my idol was clay
My passion for loving had vanished away
Oh he taught me to love him, he called me his flower

A blossom to cheer him through life's weary hour
But now he has gone and left me alone
The wild flowers to weep and the wild birds to moan
I'll dance and I'll sing and my life will be gay

I'll banish this weeping, drive troubles away
I'll live yet to see him regret this dark hour
When he won and neglected this frail wildwood flower.

I was st[E]anding by my window
On a c[A]old and cloudy d[E]ay,

For to take my [B7]love a[E]way.
{c:Chorus:}
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
I told the undertaker,

"Undertaker, please drive slow,
For this body you are haulin' Lord,
I hate to see him go."
Well I followed close behind him,

Tried to hold up and be brave,
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid him in the grave.

D[G]ance then, wher[D]ever you may b[G]e
[Em]I am the lord of the d[D]ance, said he
And I'll l[G]ead you all, wher[Em]ever you may be
And I'll l[D]ead you all in the d[G]ance, said he.

I d[G]anced in the morning, when the w[D]orld was beg[Em]un

I d[D]anced in the moon and the st[C]ars and the s[D]un
I c[G]ame down from heaven and they d[D]anced on [Em]earth
I b[D]adly had my, h[G]ad my birth.
I d[G]anced for the scribe and the f[D]ar out s[Em]ea

They w[D]ouldn't dance, they w[C]ouldn't follow m[D]e
So I d[G]anced for the fishermen J[D]ames and J[Em]ohn
c[D]ame with me and the d[G]ance went on.
I d[G]anced on the sabbath and c[D]ure of the l[Em]enght

The h[D]oly people, they s[C]aid it was a sh[D]ame
They wh[G]ipped and stripped and they h[D]ung me h[Em]igh
L[D]eft me there on a cr[G]oss to die.
I d[G]anced on the friday, when the sk[D]y turned bl[Em]ack

It's h[D]ard to dance with the d[C]evil on your b[D]ack
They b[G]uried my body they th[D]ought I g[Em]ot
But [D]I ad the dance st[G]ill go on.
They go[G]t me down, but I l[D]eap up h[Em]igh

[D]I am the light, that will n[C]ever, never d[D]ie
And I l[G]ive in you, if you l[D]ive in m[Em]e

Thisis the whole thing, i.e. one sequence

There's no time for love Charlie Brown, aha

And if I should come up, it'll only bring your mother down
So I send you ten shillings as we have arranged
I take second willing cause I never change
My mind once it's made up, and it's made up
Charlie Brown.
Mother's found her golden gown and she drove to the end of town
I'm here alone, why don't you come home
For you know you've let the poor Charlie down
With I send you ten shillings as we have arranged
I take second willing cause I never change my mind
Once it's made up, and it's made up
Good grief Charlie Brown.
...
And it's made up

Oww, oww
And it's made up...

Fee Fi Fo Fum I smell the blood of a nazi scum

I want my dad and I want my mum
C
A sherman tank and a load of guns
G
If love is the answer, what was the question,
Em D
And can it cure my indigestion, baby?
Bm
Out of the frying pan, into the frying pan
C
Back to the drawing board and I'll draw you a diagram
Bm
We'll put on the kettle for some tea and some sympathy
C
Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me
G
If love is the answer what was the question
Em D
And can it solve the traffic congestion, baby?
Bm
Carry on, carry on, you've got nothing to lose
C
You've dirtied your pants and you can't afford shoes
Bm
To stand up and fight stand up for your rights
C
And dance to the music that nobody likes
G Bm Em C
It goes ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ...
G
Out of the mouths of babes bearing arms
Bm
come the terrified sounds of a baby's alarm
Em
at the kidnap and rape of his family and friends
C
who've been taken away to be ethnically clensed
And the banners and badges of your anarchist friends
say "Apocalypse now, man!" and "Never Again!"
And I know the following smut should be censored OK
But this shit is fucked, as they say in the USA
And they say it Mexico, London and Jericho,
Berlin and Birmingham, Belfast and Tokyo
Amsterdam, Vietnam, Iran, Afghanistan
Disneyland, Narnia, former Yugoslavia
Yes siree boy, there's nothing worth living for
But it really ain't worth dying for
So just say three hail Jesus and Mary Chains
two how's your fathers, give your thanks to God
and say goodnight Jim Bob

Good Night Jim Bob

A Boy Named Sue

Shel Silverstein
G
My daddy left home when I was three
C
And he didn't leave much to Ma and me
D G
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
G
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
C
But the meanest thing that he ever did
D G
Was before he left, he went and named me 'Sue.'
Well, he must o' thought that is was quite a joke

And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue.'
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,

My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man that give me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July

And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue.'
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad

>From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' how do you do! Now you gonna die!"
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes

And he went down but, to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men

But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: "Son, this world is rough

And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said good-bye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's that name that helped to make you strong."
He said: 'Now you just fought one hell of a fight

And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'.'
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun

And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I come away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name!

THE BATTLE IS OVER by Jonny Cash
I think sir the battle is over and a young soldier lay down his gun
I'm tired of running for cover,I'm certain the battle is done
For see over there where we fought them,it's quite for they've all gone away
All's left is the dead and the dying,the blue lying 'long side the grey
So you think the battle is over and you even lay down your gun
You carelessly rise from your cover,for you think the battle is done
But boy hit the dirt listen to me,for I'm still the one in command
Get flat on the ground here beside me and lay your ear hard to the sand
Can you hear the death burning rumble,can you feel the trembling ground
It's not just the horses and wagons,that make such a death burning sound
For every shot fired had an echo,and every man killed wanted life
There lies your friend Jim McKenny,can you take the news to his wife
No son the battles not over,the battle has only begun

The rest of the battle will cover,the part that has blackened the sun
The fight's not to come yet with cannons,nor will the fight be hand to hand
No one will regroup the forces,no charge will a General command
The battle will rage in the bosom ,of mother and sweetheart and wife
Brothers,sisters and daughters will grieve for the rest of their lives
Now go ahead and rise from your cover,be thankful that God let you live
Go fight the rest of the battle for those who gave all they could give
I see sir the battle's not over,the battle has only begun
The rest of the battle will cover, the part that has darkened the sun
For there's no sound of the cannon and though there's no smoke in the sky
I'm dropping the gun and the sabre and ready for battle on high

Big River by Johnny Cash

(from "The Songs of Johnny Cash")
G C G
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
G7 A7 D7
and I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
G G7 C7
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
G D7 G D7 G
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
2. I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota).

And it tore me up ev'ry time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl.
Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
And I followed you, Big River, when you called.
3. Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).

A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
4. Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
Go on, I"ve had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.
She loves you, Big River, more than me.
5. Repeat 1

*************** DEATH AND HELL ***************
written by John R. Cash and John Carter Cash
performed by Johnny Cash.
Verse 1:
A F#m
She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street
D E
I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet
A F#m
We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan
D E A
But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man
Verse 2:
F# B
I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today
E A
Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way
F# B
She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you
E A
This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two
Chorus:
D E D A
Death and hell are never full
D E A
And neither are the eyes of men
D E D A
Cats can fly from nine stories high
E D
And pigs can see the wind
Verse 3:
A F#m
She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor
D E
Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door
A F#m
The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul
D E A
My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control
Verse 4:
F# B
Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal
E A
You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal
F# B
I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red
E A
The first station of the cross is just above my head
F# B
I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed
E A
Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head
Chorus.

Down There By The Train

Down where the willow and the dogwood grow

You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell

If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith
I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe
And all the shamefuls and all of the whores
And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord
Is...
{chorus}
Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer
Never given of myself, never truly cared
I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain
I've taken the low road and if you've done the same
Meet me...
{chorus (twice)}

Drive On
Written by Johnny Cash
Published by Song of Cash Inc. ASCAP
E E7
I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
A
He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam
B7
He said is my country just a little off track
E B7 E
Took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back
E E7
But, it's better than not coming back at all
A
Many a good man I saw fall
B7
And even now, every time I dream
E B7 E
I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream
| E
|Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
| B7 E
|My children love me , but they don't understand
| A E
|And I got a woman who knows her man
| B7 E
|Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
I remember one night, Tex and me

Rappelled in on a hot L.Z.
We had our 16's on rock and roll
But, with all that fire, I was scared and cold
We were crazy, we were wild
And I have seen the tiger smile
I spit in a bamboo viper's face
And I'd be dead , but by God's grace
{chorus}
It was a real slow walk in a real sad rain

And nobody tried to be John Wayne
I came home, but Tex did not
And I can't talk about the hit he got
I got a little limp now when I walk
Got a little tremolo when I talk
But my letter read from Whiskey Sam
You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from Vietnam
{chorus}

G
I HEAR THE TRAIN A COMIN, IT'S ROLLIN ROUND THE BEND,
I AIN'T SEEN THE SUNSHINE SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN.

C G
I'M STUCK IN FOLSOM PRISON AND TIME KEEPS DRAGGIN ON.
D7 G
BUT THE TRAIN KEEPS ROLLIN ON DOWN TO SAN ANTONE.
G
WHEN I WAS JUST A BABY MY MAMA TOLD ME, SON
ALWAYS BE A GOOD BOY, DON'T EVERY PLAY WITH GUNS.

C G
BUT I SHOT A MAN IN RENO JUST TO WATCH HIM DIE.
D7 G
WHEN I HEAR THAT WHISTLE BLOWIN I HANG MY HEAD AND CRY.
G
I BET THERE'S RICH FOLKS EATIN IN A FANCY DININ CAR,
THEY'RE PROB'LY DRINKIN COFFEE AND SMOKIN BIG CIGARS,

C G
BUT I KNOW I HAD IT COMIN, I KNOW I CAN'T BE FREE,
D7
BUT THOSE PEOPLE KEEP A MOVIN AND THAT'S WHAT
G
TORTURES ME.
G
WELL IF THEY FREED ME FROM THIS PRISON, IF THAT RAILROAD
TRAIN WAS MINE
I BET I'D MOVE A LITTLE FARTHER ON DOWN THE LINE.

C G
FAR FROM FOLSOM PRISON THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO STAY
D7 G
AND I'D LET THAT LONESOME WHISTLE BLOW MY BLUES AWAY.
Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash

G
I hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend,
G G7
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
C7 G
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.
D7 G
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone.
2. When I was just a baby, my momma told me, "Son,

Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.
3. I bet there's rich folk eatin'in a fancy dining car.

They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me.
4. Well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.

Marc,
I don't know how many of these songs you will be familiar with so I'll include words
for ones that are like this. A lot are words with chords over them.
Johnny Cash does this in E.

E
I hear the train a comin' it's rollin 'round the bend
and I a'int seen the sunshine since I don't know when

A E
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on.
B7 E
But that train keeps a movin' on down to-San-An-Tone
(same pattern for all verses)
When I was just a baby my mame told me, "Son

Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
When I heat the whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.
Well, if they freed me fom this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line
Far from Fulsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonsome whistle, blow my blues away

GIVE MY LOVE TO ROSE

by Johnny Cash
I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco

For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisana
To see my Rose and get to know my son
Chorus
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money,tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me

tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone
Mister here's a bag with all my money

It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Repeat chorus

Hey, Porter by Johnny Cash

(from "the Songs of Johnny Cash")
G G
Hey, Porter, Hey Porter! Would you tell me the time?
A7 D7
How much longer will it be 'til we cross that Mason Dixon Line?
G G G C
At daylight will you tell that engineer to slow it down;
G D7 G
Or better still, just stop the train 'cause I want to look around.
2. Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! What time did you say?

How much longer will it be 'till I can see the light of day?
When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell;
And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand rightup and yell.
3. Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! It's getting light outside.

This old train is puffin' smoke and I have to strain my eyes.
But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please,
'Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves, and I smell that Southern breeze.
4. Hey, Porter! Hey, Porter! Please get my bags for me,

I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee.
Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream.
We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam.
5. Hey Porter! Hey Porter! Please open up my door.

When they stop this train I'm gonna get off first 'cause I can't
wait no more.
Tell that engineer I say, "Thanks a lot. I didn't mind the fare.
I'm gonna set my feet on Souther soil and breathe that Southern air."

I Still Miss Someone
(J.R. Cash, R. Cash, Jr.)
A D E
At my door the leaves are falling
D E A
The cold wild wind will come
A D E
Sweethearts walk by together
D E A
And I Still Miss Someone
I go out to wild the parties

And look for a little fun
But I find the darkened corner
'Cause I still miss someone
BRIDGE[x]
A D E A
Though I never got over those blue eyes
A D E A
I see them everywhere
A D E A
I miss those arms that held me
A D E A
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry for

For leaving what we had begun
There's someone for me somewhere

I Walk the Line
Johnny Cash
A E7 A
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
A E7 A
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
A D A
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
A E7 A
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true

I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
As sure as night is dark and day is light

I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
You've got a way to keep me on your side

You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide

Let The Train Blow The Whistle

G
I don't want no aggravation
G
When my train has left the station
C G
If you're there or not, I may not even know
B7
Have a round and remember
C G
Things we did that weren't so tender
D7 G
Let the train blow the whistle when I go
On my guitar sell tickets

So someone can finally pick it
And tell the girls down at the Ritz
I said hello
Tell the gossipers and liars
I will see them in the fire
Let the train blow the whistle when I go
| C G
|Let her blow, let her blow
| G
|Long and loud and hard and happy
| D7
|Let her blow
| G B7 C
|No regrets, all my debts will be paid
| G
|When I get laid
| D7 G
|Let her blow, let her blow, let her blow
You'll be left without excuses

For the evils and abuses
Down to today from years and years ago
And have yourself another toke
From my basket full of smoke
And let the train blow the whistle when I go

Like A Soldier
G
With the twilight colors falling
And the evening laying shadows
D
Hidden memories come stealing from my mind
As I feel my own heart beating out
The simple joy of living
G
I wonder how I ever was that kind
But the wild road I was rambling

Was always out there calling
D7
And they said a hundred times I should have died
Then you reached down and touched me
And lifted me up with you
G
So, I believe they were roads that I was meant to ride
| C D G
|I'm like a soldier getting over the war
| C D7 G
|Like a young man getting over his crazy days
| C D7 Em
|Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways
|C D7 G
|I don't have to do that any more
| C D7 G
There were nights I don't remember

And there's pain that I've forgotten
Other things I choose not to recall
There are faces that come to me
In my darkest secret memory
Faces that I wish would not come back at all
But in my dreams parade of lovers
From the other times and places
There's not one that matters now, no matter who
I'm just thankful for the journey
And that I've survived the battles
And that my spoils of victory are you
| C D G
| C D7 G
|Like a young man getting over his crazy days
| C D7 Em
|Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways
|C D7 G
|Every day gets better than before
| C D7 G

LONG BLACK VEIL by Johnny Cash
Ten years ago,on a cold dark night

Someone was killed ,neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene,but the all agreed
That the slayer who ran,looked a lot like me
The judge said son what is your alibi

If you were somewhere else.then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word,thou it met my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
Chorus
She walks these hill.in a long black veil
She visits my grave.when the night winds wail
Nobody knows,nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Oh the scaffold is high and eternity's near

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night,when the north wind blows
In a long black veil,she cries o're my bones
Repeat chorus

The Man Who Couldn't Cry

Written by Loudon Wainwright III
Published by Snowden Music ASCAP
C
There once was a man who just couldn't cry
G D
He hadn't cried for years and for years
C
Napalmed babies and the movie "Love Story"
G D
For instance could not produce tears
A G D
As a child he had cried as all children will
C D
Then at some point his tear ducts ran dry
C
He grew to be a man, it all hit the fan
G D
Things got bad, but he couldn't cry
His dog was run over, his wife up and left him
And after that he got sacked from his job
Lost his arm in the war, was laughed at by a whore
Ah, but sill not a sniffle or sob
His novel was refused, his movie was panned
And his big Broadway show was a flop
He got sent off to jail; you guessed it, no bail
Oh, but still not a dribble or drop
In jail he was beaten, bullied and buggered

And made to make license plates
Water and bread was all he was fed
But not once did a tear stain his face
Doctors were called in, scientists, too
Theologians were last and practically least
They all agreed sure enough; this was sure no cream puff
But in fact an insensitive beast
He was removed from jail and placed in a place

For the insensitive and the insane
He played lots of chess and made lots of friends
And he wept every time it would rain
Once it rained forty days and it rained forty nights
And he cried and he cried and he cried and he cried
On the forty-first day, he passed away
He just dehydrated and died
Well, he went up to heaven, located his dog

Not only that, but he rejoined his arm
Down below, all the critics, they loot it all back
Cancer robbed the whore of her charm
His ex-wife died of stretch marks, his ex-employer went broke
The theologians were finally found out
Right down to the ground, that old jail house burned down
The earth suffered perpetual drought

Oh Bury Me Not

A E
Recitation:
-----------
Lord, I've never lived where churches grow
I loved creation better as it stood
That day you finished it so long ago
And looked upon your work and called it good
I know that others find you in the light
That sifted down through tinted window panes
And yet I seem to feel you near tonight
In this dim, quiet starlight on the plains
I thank you, Lord, that I'm placed so well
That you've made my freedom so complete
That I'm no slave to whistle, clock or bell
Nor weak eyed prisoner of Waller Street
Just let me live my life as I've begun
And give me work that's open to the sky
Make me a partner of the wind and sun
And I won't ask a life that's soft or high
Let me be easy on the man that's down
Let me be square and generous with all
I'm careless sometimes, Lord, when I'm in town
But never let them say I'm mean or small
Make me as big and open as the plains
And honest as the horse between my knees
Clean as a wind that blows behind the rains
Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze
Forgive me, Lord, if sometimes I forget
You know about the reasons that are hid
You understand the things that gall or fret
Well, you knew me better than my mother did
Just keep an eye on all that's done or said
And right me sometimes when I turn aside
And guide me on that long, dim trail ahead
That stretched upward toward the great divide
A
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
E
These words came low and mournfully
A
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
E A
On his dying bed at the close of day
Oh, bury me not and his voice failed there

But we took no heed to his dying prayer
In a shallow grave just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie.

Between heaven and hell

A teardrop fell

In the deep crimson dew

The tree of life grew

|And the blood gave life

|To the branches of the tree

|Clung to the tree

|And were redeemed by the blood
From the tree streamed a light

That started the fight
'Round the tree grew a vine
On whose fruit I could dine
My old friend Lucifer came
Fought to keep me in chains
But I saw through the tricks
Of six-sixty-six
{chorus}
From his hands it came down

From his side it came down
From his feet it came down
And a small inner voice
Said "You do have a choice."
The vine engrafted me
And I clung to the tree
{chorus}
Am
From his hands it came down
Dm
From his side it came down
E
From his feet it came down

San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me

You've hosted me since nineteen sixty three
F F C G7 C
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die

And long ago I stopped askin' why
2. San Quentin, I hate evry inch of you.

You've cut me and have scarred me thru an' thru.
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man;
Mister Congressman why can't you understand.
3. San Quentin, what good do you think you do?

Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
You bent my heart and mind and you may my soul,
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.
4. San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.

May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
May all the world forget you ever stood.
And may all the world regret you did no good.
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.

Starkville City Jail by Johnny Cash

Bb F7 Bb F7 Bb F7 Bb
Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel,
F7 Bb F7 Bb F7 Bb F7 Bb
The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairly well.
Bb7 Eb Bb7 Eb Bb7 Eb Bb7 Eb

I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees;
F7 Bb F7 Bb F7 Bb F7 Bb
I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze.
F C7 F C7 F C7 F
I found myself surrounded; one policeman said: "That's him.
Eb Bb7 Eb Bb7 Eb Bb7 E

Come along, wild flowerchild. Don't you know that it's two a.m."
E7 F
They're bound to get you.
E7 E
Cause they got a curfew.
F#7 F Eb Ddim F7 Bb
And you go to the Starkville City jail.
2. Well, they threw me in the car and started driving into town;
I said: "What the hell did I do?" He said: "Shut up and sit down."
Well they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar picks.
I said: "Wait, my name is..." "Aw shut up." Well I sure was in a fix.
The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night;
I said: "Come back here, you so and so; I ain't bein' treated right."
Well they're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew,
And you go to the Starkville City Jail.
3. I started pacin' back and forth, and now and then I'd yell,
And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel floor of my cell.
I'd walk awhile and kick awhile, and all night nobody came.
Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name.
At 8 a.m. they let me out. I said: "Gimme them things of mine!"
They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick, and a yellow dandelion.
They're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew,
And you go to the Starkville City Jail.

Sunday morning comming down

Johny Cash
1.
Well , I [C]woke up Sunday morning ,
with no [F]way to hold my head, that didn«t [C]hurt
and the [C]beer i had for breakfast ,
wasn«t [Am]bad, so I had one more for des-[G7]-sert
than I [C]thumbled through my closet ,
for my [F]clothes, found my cleanest, dirty [C]hirt
than I [G7]washed my face and combed my hair,
stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
2.
Well I smoked my brain the night befor ,
with cigarets and songs that we been picking
And I lit my first and stopped to watch ,
a small kid with a can that he was kicking
Than I crossed an empty street ,
and caught the Sunday-smell of someone«s frying chicken
and it took me back to something ,
that I lost somewhere somehow along the way
Ref:
On a Sunday morning [F]sidewalk,
wishing Lord that I was [C]stoned
Cause there is something in a [G7]Sunday,
that makes somebody feel a-[C]-lone
And it«s nothing shure but [F]dieing,
half as lone some as the [C]sound
of a sleeping city [G7]sidewalk,
when Sunday morning coming [C]down
3.
In a park I saw a Daddy ,
with a laughing little girl he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school ,
and listened to the songs that they were singing
Than I hadded back for home ,
and some whrer far away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed to the canyons ,
like the dissapearing dreames of yesterday
Ref:
On a Sunday morning sidewalk ....
It«s the first song, that I write to you from germany.

Tennessee Stud
Writer and publisher information unavailable at date of printing

Back about eighteen and twenty-five
G
I left Tennessee very much alive
A
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
E A
If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud
A
Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa
G
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
A
I wrote a letter to my Uncle Fudd
E A
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
| A G A
|The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
| D C E
|The color of the sun and his eyes were green
|A
|He had the nerve and he had the blood
| E A
|There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
Drifted on down into no man's land

Across the river called the Rio Grande
Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe
Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree

We got in a fight over Tennessee
Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud
And I rode away on a Tennessee Stud
{chorus}
I rode right back across Arkansas

I whupped her brother and I whupped her Pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
She was riding on a Tennessee Mare
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor

Little horse colt playing round the door
I loved the girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare
{chorus}

The beast in me
F G C
Is caged by frail and fragile bars
F G
Restless by day
C Bb D7
And by night rants and rages at the stars
F G C
God help the beast in me
The beast in me
Has had to learn to live with pain
And how to shelter from the rain
And in the twinkling of an eye
Might have to be restrained
E
Sometimes it tries to kid me
F
That it's just a teddy bear
C
And even somehow manage to vanish in the air

And that is when I must beware

Of the beast in me that everybody knows

They've seen him out dressed in my clothes

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

I keep my eyes wide open all the time.

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
A E7 A
I find it very, very easy to be true

Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
As sure as night is dark and day is light

I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
You've got a way to keep me on your side

You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide

[intro]
C C
You act like you were just born tonight
Am Am
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
G G
So who does your past belong to today?
Am G
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way
The girls in the bars thinking, "who is this guy?"

But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
F Em
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
Am F
See what else your old heart can take
F Em
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
Am G
The girls say, "god I hope he comes back soon"
[repeat intro]
[instrumental, same chords as chorus]
Everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing

You're still uptown on your downhill swing
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?
Splitting your dice to be someone you're not

You say you're looking for something you might've forgot
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home
Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache

Here is one of the requested songs by Rosanne. These are words and chords only
Tennessee Flat Top Box

Rosanne Cash
Key of A/D (the turnaround modulates)
Key of B/E (if capo'd 2 frets like the record)
intro D / / A / / /
A E
verse1 In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town
E A
Sat a boy and his guitar and the people came from all around
(E) (F#)(Ab) A E
And all the girls from there to Austin
E A
Were slippin' 'way from home and puttin' jewelry in hock
(E)(F#) (Ab) A E
To take the trip, to go and listen
E A
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
(A)(B) (Db) D
And he would play
turnaround D / / / A D / / A (repeat)
verse2 Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time
And all the girls from nine to ninety
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him don't stop
And hypnotized and fascinated
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
turnaround
verse3 Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round
He vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town
But all the girls still dreamed about him
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked
And then one day on the 'Hit Parade'
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
turnaround
finis
I'll try to post tab for the turnaround lick next week. I'm new at this.
I have the other Rosanne songs you requested coming. Plus 'Hold On' from

"The Wheel" (Rosanne Cash)

>From the album _The_Wheel_
Transcribed with no permission whatsoever by Marc Hirsh
----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the title song to Rosanne Cash's brilliant latest album.
I'm not entirely sure what the intro riff is, but I think that
it's something along the lines of:
Dsus2 A

but I'm not sure. Steuart Smith is very close to being God, and so
I can't tell with a high level of certainty. Plus, the way I've
tabbed it out, the riff is a bitch to play, but then, I'm not very
good. Any corrections are totally welcome. Anyway, this may not
matter that much if, like me, the key of D is just way to high for
you to sing. I've transposed it to A, capoed up at the 2nd fret.
I'll put my chords at the end. I also don't know the solo, but it
shouldn't be too hard to either figure it out yourself or just
fake it. That's what I do.
D A
How long was I alseep?
D A
When did we plan to meet?
D A Bm
Have you been waiting long for me?
D A
When did the sky turn black?
D A
Do you still want me back?
D A Bm
I'll pick it all up piece by piece.
(I'm not sure - this next chord could be Em, but G is used for
ever other chorus, so I'm putting it here)
G A D
And the wheel goes round and round.
G A Bm
And the flame in our souls will never burn out.
G A D
And the wheel, and the wheel goes round.
D A
I am a river with a voice.
D A
I came into your life by choice.
D A Bm
And none can judge just how that feels.
D A
You are a messenger from God.
D A
You are the angel I forgot.
D A Bm
And who's to say that it isn't real?
G A D
G A Bm
G A D
F#m G
I'm not looking for the answers.
F#m G
Oh, darling don't you see
F#m E
That just to know the question
G A
Is good enough for me.
(solo which is based on a rising D scale, that much I know)
D A
Take up the hearts you came to heal.
D A
Put down your dagger and your shield.
D A Bm
You need fear nothing now from me.
D A
I see the essence of the man.
D A
I stand before you as a friend.
D A Bm
The truth moves through us even when we sleep.
G A D
G A Bm
G A G A
(alternate between G and A a few times then back to D with riff)

================================================================
Still with me? Good. If you'd like the handy-dandy Marc Hirsh
transposition into the key of A, follow along. Capo at the 2nd
fret. Then, change the following chords:
Chord in original key Chord FORM capoed at 2

--------------------- ----------------------
D G
A D
Bm Em
G C
F#m Bm
E A
That should do it. With a text editor, you should be able to

change the chords in the main body of this file yourself. Not only
does it make it easier on us baritone-types, but it also
eliminates that pesky F#m chord, which can be a pain if your
fingers aren't in the mood to barre chords. If you get some use
out of this song, let me know, so I can be sure that I'm not just
posting to see my own name on the .net.

"JKB" by Tom Cashman

Verses D-F#m-Bm7-G
Chorus F-G-Am-Em
You're a thousand miles away
But sometimes late at night
I feel you next to me
When I close my eyes
You know I feel as if

I've known you for so long
Yet it seems like yesterday
When we said hello
I take one step outside and I

Think of you
And what you say to me
I'm not too sure I can be what you need
But I do know that I will be here
Its like living in a dream

I don't if it's real or if I
Know what it is
That I feel
You're a thousand miles away

But inside of me
You're right next to me
When I take a breath
In time I guess we'll see

What I think of you and
What you think of me
I hope it never ends
I take one step outside and I

Think of you
And what you say to me
I'm not too sure I can be what you need
But I do know that I will be here

"Just Leave It" by Tom Cashman

Verses G--D/F#--Em (in between each line Em7--Em)
Chorus Cadd9--D--G--D/F#--Em
Why can't I just leave it,

Just turn my back and walk away
I don't want you to see me like this
I just can't stay
I can't face another daybreak

without feeling so confused
I just want to have my own life
But that line's already been used
(Chorus)
Just like the same old words
Things, they don't come easy
About time I realized
I'm in this for myself
No sense being afraid
Of things that are coming to me
Let 'em come, I can't stand living this way
I try so hard to believe you

When you say we'll work it out
As time goes by there goes another one
Of your promises
Flyin out the door
I know one day you'll realize

That I'm not a game to you
Just one day I'd like to prove
I can leave it when I choose
(Chorus)
Just like the same old words
Things, they don't come easy
About time I realized
I'm in this for myself
No sense being afraid
Of things that are coming to me
Let 'em come, I can't stand living this way

Subject: Look Away by Tom Cashman
Verses and Chorus Emaj -- A5 pretty simple but I play around with it.
This song is a1st person perspective of a homeless man who lost it all.
Look Away
You think your life is so hard
Wont you try to walk in my shoes
I'd like to see you sleep beneath where the
Midnight train runs through
I'm down to my last cigarette as I
Think about the life I used to have
Only bridge back to the past is a picture of
My wife when we were young
Still I dont know where I went wrong
There's a snow on the ground as I
Make my way back to the street
I see you walkin down towards me with a
Girl with a diamond ring
You turn your head not to look at me
But in the back of your mind I'm right there
You give your girl a kiss like you
Didn't see a thing
Still I dont know where I went wrong
(Chorus)
Don't look away from me
Cause Im right there beside you
Stop wishing me away
Just because I can do you no good
(Repeat)

"Yesterday was Easier" by Tom Cashman

Verses E-Am
Chorus G-D-Am
Yesterday was so much easier for me
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
But time when by and by then I didn't realize
That all I had was slipping away
Yesterday's gone so I heard somebody say

Now I am faced with a place I didn't make
I fight with myself just to stay in the middle
But I don't know how much more I can take
I never got the chance to say what was In my head

Now it seems to be too late to try
I wish I could go back to yesterday and live again
Then I could sit back and watch my life go by
Yesterday saw me lose my best friend

He stayed right along side me 'til the end
One thing I learned from him was to never forget yourself
And don't expect the world to greet you with a smile
I never got to say to him what was in my head

Now it seems to be too late to try
I wish I could go back to yesterday and live again
Then I could sit back and let my life go by
Yesterday was so much easier for me

I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Time went by and by then I didn't realize
That all I had was slipping away

Still another one-hit wonder: Minneapolis punkers the Castaways took this
rant to #12 in October, 1965. Dave Marsh: 'Twenty years later, Prince
came out of the same town with two-finger organ riffs that surpassed
this one, but it took that long to beat 'em.'
"Liar, Liar"

Verse 1:

Ask me, baby, why I'm sad

You been out all night, know you been bad

Listen here, girl, can't you see I love you
Make a little effort, try to be true

BEAUTY NO. 3, by The Catchers - From the album "Mute"
[INTRO]
(Am C D C) x2
Am C D C Am
In her sleeping years deeply slung within a hammock made of skin
C D C G
she opened her caverns to the hunger of the lost and their kin
D C G
they fed on her vanity and soon they both became content
D C Am
men cut holes in her body but she was so confident
C G D Am
With your eyes and sorcery come beauty number 3
C G D C
can't you see the tragedy as your dream begins to leave
Am C D C Am
While a traveller began to gore upon her she looked deep into the ground
C D C G
and momentary floods of thought unstyled and mystified rained down
D C G
on to her pretty head and she began to feel afraid
D C Am
and when she woke she found her beauty had decayed
C G D C
And no one goes close to her then they wait for the moment when
C G D C
she is dreaming of her men in case she accuses them
Bm Am C
She mourns the existence of time
D Bm
while though she's empty all she feels is tense
Am C
and so she passes her time
D
by dreaming for the strength of children
Am C G D Am
with your beauty you deceived come simple no. 3
C G D Am
can't you see the tragedy as you lose your only dream
C G D Am
I loved you for yourself I never needed anything else
C G D
oh beauty no. 3
(Am C G D )
(She could be anything you wanted her to be ) x3
Am C G
beautiful blank, beauty no. 3

"Summer's nearly over"

by the CATCHERS
Em C
D D
Sing a song of wisdom

for a summer's children
And her body's broken
and her hands clutch at stars
Cradle summer's falling
in the arms that you once bore them
And the second's crawling
to the lake their wounds
Chorus 1:
Am Bm
And summer's nearly over

We are not yet safe
(2 times)
We could hide away

find peace in some shaded place
Because the sun seems too strong
and the rain, of course
She washes everything away
into the sea, into its belly
where summer's children play
Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
G C
Em D
Come down with me now
To where the summer (misten?) its rage
Come down I want you
To (tether?) the deeper me
As the songs of summer

Went down in numbers
And the moments lost their speed
I have felt a shiver
I heard a golden whisper
That seem to call after me
Chorus 2
G C
Em D
Follow me down, Follow me down
Follow me down to summer's (graze?)
Come down with me now
I will show you tragic things.

Well I'm in the mood for tabbing, and a glance through the archives
shows that there's no Cathedral tab available. Until now. I'm tabbing
roughly what I play off the top of my head, and the last time I heard
this song was last October when they played the LA2, so corrections
would be helpful (if not vital).

Most of this is faily correct except the start lead bit

is a bit rough I think. This is my third Catherine TAB.
I hope you are enjoying these tabs, and I hope to get
some feedback on them too to know how they are going.

Back to the VERSE
Back to the CHORUS for twice as long then to this

part which I think is one of the coolest sounding
bits on the album.

It does that many times under the solo, and then slightly
changes to this at the end.

CATHERINE - SAINT
from the Sorry Album
Transcribed by Adam Morris
Is it just me or does this song remind anyone else

of Geek USA?? Anyway here is my best attempt at how
this song is played. Seems to be the song that most
people think RAWKS the most :)
TUNING: Dropped D (D A D G B E)
Starts with drums, noise, effects and bass.
MAIN RIFF
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-0--0-0--2--0-0-0-0-0--9----------------------------|
|-0--0-0--2--0-0-0-0-0--9----------------------------|
|-0--0-0--2--0-0-0-0-0--9----------------------------|
A little way into the verse it goes to this.

|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------|
|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------|
|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------|
Then back to the main riff twice then to this.

|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|---3-3----3--3--------------------------------------|
|---3-3----3--3--------------------------------------|
|---3-3----3--3--------------------------------------|
Then it enters into the chorus

For the first "Won't You be..." it is just that main riff.
For the second I am really unsure about, but I THINK it
is something like this.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-0--0-0--/9--0--0-0--/9-----------------------------|
|-0--0-0--/9--0--0-0--/9-----------------------------|
|-0--0-0--/9--0--0-0--/9-----------------------------|
After the second chorus it plays this many times, with

the main riff in between each time.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-2--4--5----7-5-4-----------------------------------|
|-2--4--5----7-5-4-----------------------------------|
|-2--4--5----7-5-4-----------------------------------|
Then it stops and bass plays for a few bars.

Guitar then comes back in. It is played as below, but no
strumming is shown here, only the chord changes. Each
chord is strummed for one bar.
|-5---------3---------2------------------------------|
|-5---------3---------2------------------------------|
|-7---------5---------4------------------------------|
|-7---------5---------4---------5--------------------|
|-5---------3---------2---------5--------------------|
|-------------------------------5--------------------|
Stops and more bass. Back to the chorus.
The song finishes with a bent G-string G---13b(14)---

and then open D chord.
A lot of this is a bit rough, but it has

the general idea. Send any corrections
and comments to benmo@deakin.edu.au
I would love to hear from you :)

CATHERINE - Songs About Girls
This is the FIRST of many Catherine tabs that

I will be typing up. This is a great band that
will be getting a lot of attention soon I bet.
I suspect that most people that use this tab will
be from the Smashing Pumpkins Mailing list.
Anyway, here is my attempt at the first song on
the Sorry album, Songs About Girls.
TUNING - Dropped D (D A D G B E)
INTRO/VERSE
~~~~~~~~~~~
First three chords played in clean tone for intro,
distortion on there after.
G A C D F E D E
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--5--5-5--7-7-7--10--10-10-0-3\2-0-2----------------|
|--5--5-5--7-7-7--10--10-10-0-3\2-0-2----------------|
|--5--5-5--7-7-7--10--10-10-0-3\2-0-2----------------|
^^^
This is not a quick slide
CHORUS
~~~~~~
D D#
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|---7-b------8---------------------------------------|
|---7-b------8---------------------------------------|
|---5-b------6---------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
^^^
Slow gradual bend until next chord.
Repeat this a few times
End chorus on the D but with an open bottom string as well (D)
VERSE 2
CHORUS
SOLO (sorry....no lead guitar here)

A G A G A Bb
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--7-x-7-5-7--7-5-7--8--8-8--------------------------|
|--7-x-7-5-7--7-5-7--8--8-8--------------------------|
|--7-x-7-5-7--7-5-7--8--8-8--------------------------|
Play this 3 times then play this:

A G# G F#
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-------------------|
|--7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-------------------|
|--7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-------------------|
Then everything stops and this is played

|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--0--0-0-7--7-5b-(grad.)-0--0-0-7--7-5b (grad.)-----|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
Then back to that main thingy.
Then on one of those I love You bits at the end it plays

this a few times.
G A C
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--5-5-5-5/7-7-7-/10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---------|
|--5-5-5-5/7-7-7-/10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---------|
|--5-5-5-5/7-7-7-/10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---------|
Then the end bit a couple of times.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------7------------------------|
|---------------------------7b-----------------------|
|---------------------------5b-----------------------|
|--5-5-5-x-5-5-5-x-5-5-5-5---------------------------|
Then end the song on the G
PLEASE send me any corrections (I am sure there are many

in this), comments, or just to tell me that you are

I could pretend to understand it

I see no end to this confusion

A voulu prendre la femme (Am/Am#5),
Monsieur William (Am/Am#5) hors de lui (G G)
Lui a donne des coups de pa(F)rapluie (F)
Oui mais le Negre dans le noir (E7/E7b9)
Lui a coupe le coup (E7/E7b9) en deux coups de razoir
(E7)
Monsieur William (Am), vous manquez de tenue (G)

Qu'al(F)liez vous faire dans la 13 (F9) eme Avenue ?
(Am/Am#5 Am/Am#5)
Il a senti (Am/Am#5) que c'est irremediable (Am/Am#5),
Il entendi (E7sus7/E7b9) soudain crier le diable (E7sus7/E7b9),
Monsieur Wiliam (Am/Am#5 Am/Am#5)
Mais ce n'etait (Eh) que le chant monotone (E7sus7/E7b9)
D'un trombone (Am/Am#5 Am/Am#5)
Chantant l'appel des ames (Am/Am#5)
Un aveugle (Am/Am#5) en gemissant (G G),
Sans le savoir a marche dans (F) le sang (F)
Puis dans la nuit a disparu (E7/E7b9)
C'etait p'tet le destin (E7/E7b9) qui marchait dans les rues
(E7)
Monsieur William (Am), vous manquez de tenue (G)

Vous etes mort (F) dans la 13 eme (F9) Avenue.
(A)
End
Here's how to play the main Am/Am#5 tab :
1 2 3 4
e:----0--0--1---0-----|
B:----1--1--1---1-----|
G:----2--2--2---2-----|
D:----2--2--2---2-----|
A:-0------------------|
E:--------------------|
Here's now the E7sus7/E7b9 tab :

sounds odd but I think it is right (makes this song soud so special).
1 2 3 4
e:---0--0--1---0--|
B:---4--4--3---4--|
G:---1--1--1---1--|
D:---0--0--0---0--|
A:---2--2--2---2--|
E:-0--------------|
try also these two alternatives which are more easy to play :
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
e:---0--0--1---0--| e:---0--0--1---0--|
B:---3--3--3---3--| B:---4--4--4---4--|
G:---1--1--1---1--| G:---1--1--1---1--|
D:---0--0--0---0--| D:---0--0--0---0--|
A:---2--2--2---2--| A:---2--2--2---2--|
E:-0--------------| E:-0--------------|
Just procede by imitation for the others.
Parts with Am, G, F can be played so :
1 2 3 4
e:----0-------0-----|
B:----1-------1-----|
G:----2-------2-----|
D:----2-------2-----|
A:-0-------0--------|

Lyrics:
1st Verse
On this European night out on the brink

The cafes and the bars still stink
The mist is much too thick for seeing
But not thick enough for leaning
I leave in a catatonic crawl
And if I die tonight don't fling me in
Some bleak teutonic hole
Six feet under with a snap-frozen soul
And really we could all just die of shame...
Yeah... die of shame...
Dumb Europe, Dumb Europe, la la la la la.
2nd Verse
On this Utopian night on the brink

Mama's face staring up at me from the bottom of the sink
Witness my trail of destruction
Just trying to leave this drinking place
My feet are magnetized for furniture
The floor's attracted to my face
And if I die tonight
Sell me as a prehistoric bone
Authentic junk-souvenir to Jap
To fob off on his friends back home
The money-dance...[mumble] I find it hard to cope with days like this etc...
[The third verse is completely undecipherable, but sounds like:]
And tonight steps into my beer in my poor '61,

I swear that statue's read the moons
Or my planets are all wrong
And if I die tonight ship my body way back home
[mumble]
[mumble]
Pulling the drip right out of the arm
4th Verse
On this European night on the brink

Your cafes, your beer-halls and your bars still stink
And if I die tonight send my body way back home
And if I die tonight and if I die tonight...
Dumb Europe
Dumb Europe
Dumb Europe
Dumb Europe
This recording is reasonably rare, and it's unlikely anyone you play the
song to will have heard the original anyway, so just use the lyrics
above, or the ones from King Ink, and play the song in whatever way
sounds best to you ;) Have fun ;)
Any comments/corrections/suggestions welcome,

Intro
C . . . . . . . G . . . . . . . x4
C I found her on a night of fire and noise

G Wild bells rang in a wild sky
C I knew from that moment on
G That I'd love her till the day that I died
C And I kissed away a thousand tears
G My lady of the Various Sorrows
C Some begged, some borrowed, some stolen
G Some kept safe for tomorrow
C On an endless night, silver star spangled
C# The bells from the chapel went
D jingle-jangle
C A# G G
Do you love me?
C A# G G
Do you love me?
C A# G G
Do you love me?
C A# FFFFFFFFF
Do you love me like I love you?
G G
She was given to me to put things right

And I stacked all my accomplishments beside her
Still I seemed so obsolete and small
I found God and all His devils inside her
In my bed she cast the blizzard out
A mock sun blazed upon her head
So completely full of light she was
Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad
Our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled
And the bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle
Do you love me?

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
She had a heartful of love and devotion

She had a mindful of tyranny and terror
Well, I try, I do, I really try
But I just err, baby, I do, error
So come find me, my darling one
I'm down to the grounds, the very dregs
Ah, here she comes blocking the sun
Blood running down the inside of her legs
The moon in the sky is battered and mangled
And the bells from the chapel go jingle-jangle
Do you love me?

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
All things move towards their end

I knew before I met her that I would lose her
I swear I made every effort to be good to her
I made every effort not to abuse her
Crazy bracelets on her wrists and her ankles
And the bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle

B Take a little walk to the edge of town, go across the tracks

B Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom, as it shifts and cracks
E Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires,
Hey man, you know you're never coming back
B Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks
F# On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
E In a dusty black coat with a red right hand
B
B
B He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy
B He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy
E He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul,
But there won't be a single thing that you can do
B He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru
F# They're whispering his name through this disappearing land
E But hidden in his coat is a red right hand
B
B
B You don't own no money? He'll get you some
B You don't have no car? He'll get you one
E You don't have no self respect, you feel like an insect,
Well don't you worry buddy cause here he comes
B Through the ghetto and the barrio and the bowery and the slum
F# A shadow is cast wherever he stands
E Stacks of green paper in his red right hand

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart
(Greenaway/Cook)
From "Kicking Against the Pricks" (1985)
Transcription by
Paul McMullan <MCMULLAN@alkali.otago.ac.nz>
Original version by Gene Pitney, ca. 1967
Also done by
Marc Almond (& Gene Pitney), ca. 1987
*************************************************
(NOTE: These chords are really for Gene Pitney's original; Cave does it in
a lower key, but I haven't bothered to check out which. - Trond.)
INTRO:
C G Em D
(Gm)Something's gotten hold of my (F)heart

Keeping my (Eb)soul and my (D7)senses a(Gm)part
Something's gotten into my (F)life
Cutting it's (Eb)way through my (D7)dreams like a (Gm)knife
(F)Turning me (Eb)up, and (D7)turning me (Gm)down
(F)Making me (Eb)smile, and (D7)making me (Gm)frown
(Gm)In a world that was (F)small

I once lived in a (Bb7)time that was (Eb)peace and no (D7)troubles at (Gm)al=
l
But then you came my (F)way
And a feeling (of) un(Gm)known shook my (F)heart,
made me (C7)want you to (F)stay
(C7)All of my (F)nights, and (C7)all of my (Eb)days
(D7) (yeah I gotta tell you now)

(Gm)Something's gotten hold of my (F)hand
Dragging my (Eb)soul to a (D7)beautiful (Gm)land
Yeah, something has invaded my (F)night
Painting my (Eb)sleep with a (D7)colour so (Gm)bright
(F)Changing the (Eb)grey, and (D7)changing the (Gm)blue
(F)Scarlet for (Eb)me, and (D7)scarlet for (G)you
(C) (G) (Em) (A)

I (A7)got to know if this is the real thing
I (A9)got to know it's making my heart sing
Wo-hoo-(D)o-ye-e-e-e-e e-(D9)
You (D7)smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each (D9)minute spent with you is the (D7)right time
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah
Baby, baby
(Gm)Something's gotten hold of my (F)hand

Dragging my (Eb)soul to a (D7)beautiful (Gm)land
Something has invaded my (F)night
Painting my (Eb)sleep with a (D7)colour so (Gm)bright
(F)Changing the (Eb)grey, and (D7)changing the (Gm)blue
=46)Scarlet for (Eb)me, and (D7)scarlet for (Gm)you
A9:xx2423
D9:200210
(* Play the Bb7 as a barre chord on the 6th fret to make it sound right,
i.e. 686766. - Trond.)
Comments from: Paul McMullan <MCMULLAN@alkali.otago.ac.nz>:
The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they
should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For
example, (F)scarlet ... means the F is played on the s. My positioning of
the chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always
correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree
with the chord (or note) in the piano notation.

Note: Every version of the Mercy Seat is different and

almost infinitely extendable. The version here is
how I play the chords, plus the lyrics that appear
in the booklet for the Tender Prey CD (with quite a few changes).
In short, this is just an approximation, so choose your own
lyrics from the vast selection that appear below.
The chords are defined at the end.
The Mercy Seat

written by Nick Cave & Mick Harvey
It began when they come took me from my home

And put me in Dead Row
Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know
And I'll say it again
I am not afraid to die.
Em B(addE)
I began to warm and chill
Em B(addE)
To objects and their fields
Em B(addE)
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
Em B(addE)
The face of Jesus in my soup
Em B(addE)
Those sinister dinner deals
Em B(addE)
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
Em B(addE)
A hooked bone rising from my
Em B(addE)
food. All things good or ungood.
E5
And the mercy seat is waiting
E5(addB)
And I think my head is burning
E5 E5(addB)
And in a way I'm yearning to be
D5 D5(addA)
done with all this measuring of
D5 D5(addA)
truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
F5 F5(addC)
tooth, And anyway I told the
C5 C5(addG)
truth, And I'm not afraid to die.
Em B(addE)
Interpret signs and catalogue
Em B(addE)
A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog
Em B(addE)
The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind.
Em B(addE)
They are the sick breath at my hind
Em B(addE)
Em B(addE)
Em B(addE)
They are the sick breath gathering
Em B(addE)
at my hind.
E5 E5(addB)
I hear stories from the
E5 E5(addB)
chamber, How Christ was born into a
E5 E5(addB)
manger And like some ragged stranger
D5 D5(addA)
Died upon the cross, And might I
D5 D5(addA)
say it seems so fitting in its
F5 F5(addC)
way He was a carpenter by
C5 C5(addG)
trade, Or at least that's what I'm
Em B(addE)
told.
Em B(addE)
Em B(addE)
Like my good hand
Em B(addE)
I tattooed E.V.I.L. across it's
Em B(addE)
brother's fist
Em B(addE)
That filthy five! They did
Em B(addE)
nothing to resist.
E5 E5(addB)
In heaven His throne is made of gold
E5 E5(addB)
The ark of His testament is
E5 E5(addB)
stowed, A throne from which I'm told all
D5 D5(addA)
history does unfold, Down here it's
D5 D5(addA)
made of wood and wire, And my
F5 F5(addC)
body is on fire
C5 C5(addG)
And God is never far away.
Em B(addE)
Into the mercy seat I climb
Em B(addE)
My head is shaved, my head is
Em B(addE)
wired, And like a moth that tries to
D5 D5(addA)
enter the bright eye, so I go
D5 D5(addA)
shuffling out life, Just to
F5 F5(addC)
hide in death a while
C5 C5(addG)
And anyway I never lied.
Em B(addE)
My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L.
Em B(addE)
Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D.
Em B(addE)
'Tis a long suffering shackle
Em B(addE)
Collaring all that rebel blood
E5
E5(addB)
E5 E5(addB)
D5 D5(addA)
done with all this measuring of
D5 D5(addA)
F5 F5(addC)
C5 C5(addG)
E5
And the mercy seat is burning
E5(addB)
And I think my head is glowing
E5 E5(addB)
And in a way I'm hoping to be
D5 D5(addA)
done with all this weighing up of
D5 D5(addA)
F5 F5(addC)
C5 C5(addG)
E5
And the mercy seat is glowing
E5(addB)
And I think my head is smoking
E5 E5(addB)
And in a way I'm hoping to be
D5 D5(addA)
done with all these looks of disbeleif
D5 D5(addA)
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
F5 F5(addC)
tooth, And anyway I there was no
C5 C5(addG)
proof, Nor a motive why.
E5
And the mercy seat is smoking
E5(addB)
And I think my head is melting
E5 E5(addB)
And in a way I'm helping to be
D5 D5(addA)
done with all this twisting of
D5 D5(addA)
truth, An eye for an eye and a truth for a
F5 F5(addC)
truth, And anyway I told the
C5 C5(addG)
E5
And the mercy seat is melting
E5(addB)
And I think my blood is boiling
E5 E5(addB)
And in a way I'm spoiling all the

fun with all this truth and consequence
D5 D5(addA)
An eye for an eye and a truth for a
F5 F5(addC)
C5 C5(addG)
E5
E5(addB)
E5 E5(addB)
D5 D5(addA)
done with all this measurement of

truth, And anyway there was no
C5 C5(addG)
proof, And I'm not afraid to tell a lie.
E5

D
and free
Gm Bb Cm
On the second day he came with a single red rose, he said give me

Gm Bb Cm
I nodded my head as I lay on the bed, if I show you the roses will you
D
follow
Gm Cm Gm Bb D
Gm Cm Gm F Gm
Gm Bb Cm
3. On the third day he took me to the river. he showed me the roses
D
and we kissed

And the last thing I heard was a martered word, as he melt above me
D
with a rock in his face
Gm Bb Cm
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow, she lay on the
D
bank, the wind light as a thief
Gm Bb Cm
And I kissed her good-bye, said all beauty must die, as I lent down
D
and planted a rose between her tears
Gm Cm Gm Bb D
Gm Cm Gm F Gm
Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day (x3)
Enjoy!

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
She lay on the bank going light as a thief (?)
And I kissed her goodbye, said all beauty must die
And I leant down and planted a rose between her teeth

Subject: LYR: "DESAFIO" by DORI CAYMMI
Desafio by Dori Caymmi. From the first US CD (Elektra) - Brazilian music.
Eramos eu e um cavalo
No seu galope macio
Pisando morro de pedra
Pulando cerca de Arame=20
Andando em leito de Rio
Eramos eu e um cavalo
E era um cavalo bravio
Casco de lamina forte
Anca de chao de montanha
Crina de vela e pavio
Ele bufando fagulha

E eu contraido de frio
Montado em pelo barroso
Eramos eu e o cavalo
Indo de encontro ao vazio ...
Eramos nos e os cavalos

Feitos do mesmo feitio
Vindo de todos os lados
E sobre ele sangrentos
Seus cavaleiros sombrios
Eramos nos e os cavalos

A nos causas calafrios
Todos os outros ja mortos
Por essa causa contraria
Que se chamou poderio
Eu com uma bala no peito

Meu alazao nos baixios
Caimos da cordilheira
Deixando a causa nas lendas
P=92ra quem quiser desafio.

Questa è la [C]storia di uno di [G7]noi

anche lui nato per caso in via [C]Gluck
in una casa fuori cit[G7]tà

Questo ragazzo della via [G7]Gluck

si divertiva a giocare con [C]me
ma un giorno disse, vado in cit[G7]tà
e lo diceva mentre pian[C]geva
io gli domando amico, non sei con[G7]tento?
vai finalmente a stare in cit[C]tà.
Là trove[Am]rai le cose che non hai avuto [C]qui
potrai la[Am]varti in casa senza andar
giù nel cor[C]tile!
Mio caro amico, disse, qui sono [G7]nato

e in questa strada ora lascio il mio [C]cuore.
Ma come fai a non capire
che è una for[G7]tuna per voi che re[C]state
a piedi nudi a giocare nei [G7]prati
mentre là in centro io respiro il ce[C]mento.
Ma verrà un [Am]giorno che ritornerò ancora [C]qui
e senti[Am]rò l'amico treno che fischia [C]così, "wa wa"!
Passano gli anni, ma otto son lunghi

però quel ragazzo ne ha fatta di strada
ma non si scorda la sua prima casa
ora coi soldi lui può comperarla
torna e non trova gli amici che aveva
solo case su case, catrame e cemento.
Là dove c'era l'erba ora c'è una città
e quella casa in mezzo al verde ormai
dove sarà
La [C]la la... la la [F]la la [G]la...

Eh no, non [C]so perché
perché con[Am]tinuano a costruire le [C]case
e non lasciano [Am]l'erba, non lasciano l'erba,

Nuda sulla pianta

prendevi
il sole con me
e cantavano per noi
sui rami
le allodole.
Ora invece qui
nella città
i motori
delle macchine
già ci cantano
la marcia funebre.
{soc}
E le fabbriche
ci profumano
anche l'aria
colorandoci il cielo di nero
che odora di morte.
Ma il Comune
dice che però la città è moderna
non ci devi far caso
se il cemento ti chiude anche il naso
la nevrosi è di moda
chi non l'ha ripudiato sarà.
{eoc}
Ahi, ah non respiro più
mi sento
che soffoco un po'
sento il fiato che va giù
va giù
e non viene su
vedo solo che
qualcosa sta
nascendo
forse è un albero
sì, è un albero
di trenta piani.

Subject: TAB: Pipeline (corrected)
PIPELINE (corrected version)
-I found an old tape of mine with Pipeline

on it, and I guess my memory wasn't quite
as good as I thought (no smart cracks from
the under 16 contingent please)
So I ran through it a couple of times

through it, and combined with the
lead line posting from Al Kossow
(thanks Al), I think this version
is pretty close to the original.
Two additional comments. It sounds

like the Chantays had three guitars,
an electric piano, bass and drums.
One Guitar played the chords, one
handled the reverb plucking and
E-string staccatto slide, and one handled
the lead line.
The electric piano did the

melody on the bridge, and the high notes
at the end of each verse. I've put in a
guitar part for this. It should be possible
for two guitarist to cover most of the music
as transcribed. The problem would be switching
the tone and effects while playing the different
parts. The rhythm guitarist can handle the
piano parts, since it's mostly chord forms.
"Since no else has taken up the challenge

I have decided to reach deep into
memory and attempt to tabulate the
version that I best remember, as
played by the Chantays. It hit the
charts in 1962.
To produce the proper SURF sound, you'll

need a couple of Fender JazzMasters, any
colour so long as it's white. I know the
Ventures played sunburst, but they were from
somewhere too far north, and while the Surfaries
played Salmon Pink Fenders, there is a story
that while they appeared on the Album cover
it was actually the Champs who played on the
record.
Next, you'll need a proper spring Reverb unit.

Unfortunately the new digital units don't produce
the proper crashing sound when you drop them. All
good surfing songs started with a "reverb kick",
a sound discovered by the first kid who accidentally
kicked his amp over(probably a Deluxe Reverb),
while imitating Dick Dale
But I digress...
====================================================
Pipeline:
=================================
2nd Lead & Rhythm Guitar Parts
=================================
The second lead should be played with
the heel of the right hand partially
muting the strings, which are "plucked"
with the pick. The guitar should be
played through a spring reverb unit,
turned up to 12 or 13.

Subject: CRD: Circle (Chapin)
1. The chords are simple, and these are the patterns I use:
verse: B'-B"-3-2-B'-1-B"-3
chorus: B'-B"-3-1-B'-B"-3-2
B' represents the primary bass note (usually the root)

B" represents the secondary bass note (usually the 5th, but sometimes the
3rd or even root up an octave)
So, for a C shord, the verse would be 5-4-3-2-5-1-4-3

For a G chord, the verse would be 6-4-3-2-6-1-4-3
2. If the root is non conventional, it is notated in parentheses, i.e.

Am7(G) is an Am7 chord with a G root, instead of an A root.
3. Time notation:
Each bar (between the slashes) represents one measure of 4/4 time. Since
the patterns are all 8th notes, one pattern fits in a bar. Convenient,
huh? This only gets tricky when there are two chords in a barre.
Luckily, they are always two-beat chords, so do the first half of the
pattern with the first chord, and the second half with the second chord.
4. get it? got it? good.
5. Anyway, here are the chords:
/G /Gmaj7 /Gmaj6 /Am7

All my life's a circle, sunrise and sundown
/Am7 - Am7(G) /D9(F#)

/G /Gmaj7
The moon rose through the night time, till the daybreak rolls around
/G /Gmaj7 /Gmaj6 /Am7

All my life's a circle, but I can't tell you why
/Am7 - Am7(G) /D9(F#) /C - D9(F#)/ G /Gmaj7

Seasons spinning round again, the years keep rolling by
Seems like I've been here before, I can't remember when

But I've got this funny feeling, that we'll all get together again
There's no straight lines make up my life, all the roads have bends
There's no clear cut beginning, and sometimes no clear end
I've found you a thousand times, I guess you've done the same
But then we lose each other, it's just like a children's game
But as I find you here again, the thought rolls through my mind
Our love is like a circle, let's go 'round one more time.
Anyway, I rushed this off, so they're probably inconsistencies or typos,
but I think all the chords are right. BTW, I play it at Capo III or V,
depending on who's singing with me. Capo V's probably best, but you're
more likely to be in Capo III from a previous song......

Cat's In The Cradle

by Harry Chapin
Notated by Eric Larson (larsoe@rpi.edu)
Verse:
E G
My child arrived just the other day,
A E
He came to the world in the usual way
E G
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay,
A E
He learned to walk while I was away
D A/C# Bm A
And he was talking 'for I knew it, and as he grew
G Bm E G Bm E
He said "I'm gonna be like you, dad, you know I'm gonna be like you"
Chorus:
E D
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
G A
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
E D
"When you commin' home dad?" "I don't know when,
G Bm E G Bm E
But we'll get together then, You know we'll have a good time then"
Verse 2
My son turned ten just the other day
He said "Thanks for the ball dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw"
I said "Not today I got a lot to do" He said "Thats OK"
He walked away but his smile never dimmed,
It said I'm gonna be like him, yeah,
You know I'm gonna be like him
Verse 3
Well he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys,
See you later can I have them please?"
Verse 4
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said "I'd love to dad if I could find the time,
You see the my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talkin' to you dad
It's sure nice talkin' to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
Last Chorus
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you commin' home son?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, Dad,
We're gonna have a good time then"

And so you and I, we watch our years go by,

We watch our sweet dreams fly, far away.

But maybe someday,
C Dm
I don't know when, But we can dream again,
G Am Em G
And we'll be happy then, till our time, just drifts away.
There you stand in your wedding dress,

You're so beautiful that I must confess
I'm so proud you have chosen me, when a doctor is what you want to be
You know I want to be a painter, girl, a real artistic snob.
But I guess we'll have our children first,
You'll find a home, I'll get a job.
(Chorus)
Bridge
Am Em Am Em
Listen to the seasons passing, listen to the winds blow,
Am Em F D G
Listen to the children laughing, where do broken dreams go?
There you stand in your tailored suit,

So many years go by, but you're still so cute.
You take the car to go and meet the bus,
When the grandchildren come to visit us.
You say you should have been a ballerina, girl,
There are songs I should have sung.
But I guess our dreams have come and gone,
You're supposed to dream when you are young.

You knew this is where you'd have to make your
Last Stand
Baby it's the last stand
It's the last stand

Let Time Go Lightly

performed by Harry Chapin on "Harry's Greatest Stories Live"
written by Steven Chapin
Chorus:
G Gmaj7 C
I let time go lightly when I'm here with you
Am D C G C
I let time go lightly when the day is through
G Gmaj7 C
I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do
Am D C G
I let time go lightly with you
G C G C G C G
Morning, a time for breaking ground and sowing seed
C D C G
And yet we give up our sunshine so we can buy what we need
C G C G C G C G
And that leaves the evening to share a fire with a friend or two
G C D C G
to lose sight of the hours; to go lightly with you
[chorus]
Old friends, they mean much more to me than a new friend

'cause they can see where you are and they know where you've been
Music has been my closest friend, my fiercest foe
'cause it can take you so high; yes, it can take you so low
C G D G A
When I was a child my mother would help me along
A C
She'd rock me to sleep and sing me a song
C G D G A
So I learned to love the music of all the tunes in my head
A C
The changing of chords, the rhythm of time
[chorus]
C D C
Yes I let time go lightly with you
Am D/F# G
and a fire and a friend or two
Am C D/F# G
With you and a fire and a friend or two
C G
A friend or two, and you

INTRO:
D D/G D/E D/A
D D/G D/E D/A
D
It was my first night in that roomin' house,
D/G
in the last room down the hall.
D/E
I heard a hoarse voice, and an old guitar,
D/A
comin' through the paper thin walls.
D
A crazy nonsense nursery rhyme,
D/G
it did not mean a thing.
D/E
But for the first of what was to be a thousand times,
D/A
this is what I heard him sing.
CHORUS:
D
Hold that "D" chord on the old guitar,
D/G
'till I find the "G."
D/E
Drop it down to old "E" minor,
D/A D D/A
'till the "A" chord rolls back home around to "D."
D D/G
I had to lay there listening, it seemed he was in the room.
D/E D/A
The stranger with the melodies, singin' there in the gloom.
Bm F
And he repeated it over and over again, such a soft and sinking sound.
Am Em
It was kind of like a music box that was slowly windin' down.
F Em
And he sang it, he hummed it, he whistled it, and he strummed it.
G A A A7 A6
He laughed it, and he cried it. He did anything but hide it.
CHORUS:
A D
D/G
D/E
D/A D D/A
'till the "A" chord rolls back home around to me.
D D/G
So I lay there in that lumpy bed, counted choruses instead of sheep,
D/E D/A
'till I banged on the wall and out I called, "Hey bub, I need some sleep."
(D) (stop pattern, just base) (G)
A sudden void of silence, then I heard that hoarse voice say,
(E) (A) D (resume pattern) D/A
"It weren't so long ago, boy, they paid me to play.
D D/G
So I said, "It's kind of late for music, sir. Two hours 'till it's daylight."
D/E D/A
He answered, "I need my music most in these dark hours of the night.
Bm F
You see I've tried gettin' high on somethin', son; it only brings me down.
Am Em
Stayin' dry don't work out better, boy, 'cause my eyes get wet and I drown.
F Em
Won't you please let me continue, and I'll be in your debt.
G A A A7 A6
You see I'm not singin' to remember, son. I'm just singin' to forget.
CHORUS:
A D
D/G
D/E
D/A D D(strum) D(strum) A
'till the "A" chord rolls back home around to me.
C G
That's when I said, if I'm supposed to listen to you, sir,
C G
one quick question, then.
F C A
Why in the hell do you sing one song, over and over again?
(spoken) And this is what he said.
D D D D/G
I gave her the music, son.
She gave me the words.
D/E D/A
Together we'd write the kinds of songs the angels must have heard.
D D/G
Of course, we'd fight like cats and dogs; life ain't no rosebud dream.
D/E D/A
Still, where ever we'd go, everybody'd know, we were truly a team.
D D/G
I can't remember now if I'd done her wrong, or if she'd done wrong to me.
D/E D/A
Still, all I know is when I let her go, it did not set me free.
Bm
That's when I said, "You sound like what's-his-name."
F
He said, "That's who I am.
Am
But you can't wrap a name around you boy,
Em
'cause it really don't mean a damn.
F Em
You see, a song don't have no meanin', when it don't have nothin' to say.
G A A A7 A6 A
What she could do was magic, son. All I can do is play.
D
He started singin' again, that's when I drifted off,
D/G
and maybe I'd dreamed what I'd heard,
D/E
about the stranger with the melodies,
D/A
who'd gone and lost the words.
CHORUS:
D
D/G
D/E
D/A D D(final)
'till the "A" chord rolls back home around to "D."

N.C.
G C C/B
It was the town that made America famous
Am D G The churches full and
the kids all gone to hell
G
Six traffic lights, and seven cops
C C C/B
And all the streets kept clean
Am D C G
The supermarket and the drug store and the bars all doin' well
G C C/B
Now they were the folks that made America famous
Am C D G
Our local fire department stocked with short-haired volunteers
G
And on Saturday night, while America boozes
C C C/B
The fire department showed dirty movies
Am C/B Am C/G Am C/G
The lawyer and the grocer seein' their dreams come to life on the movie screen
F D C
While the plumber hopes that he won't be seen, as he tries to hide his fears
G
And he wipes away his tears
Bb A
But somethin's burinin' somewhere
B G
DOES ANYBODY CARE?
G C C/B
We were the kids that made America famous
Am D G
The kind of kids that long since drove our parents to despair
G
We were lazy long-hairs droppin' out
C C C/B
Lost, confused, and coppin' out
Am D
Convinced our futures were in doubt
C G
And tryin' not to care
G C C/B
We lived in the house that made America famous
Am C D G
It was a run-down slum, the shame of all the decent folks in town
G
We're hippies and some welfare cases
C C C/B
Crowded families of cold, black faces
Am C/B Am
Cramped inside some cracked old boards
C/G Am C/G
The best that we all could afford
F D C
But still too fine for the rich landlord to ever tear it down
G
And we could hear the sound
Bb A
Of somethin' burnin' somewhere
B G
IS ANYBODY THERE?
G C C/B
We all lived the life that made America famous
Am D G
Our cops would make a point to shadow us around our town
G C C C/B
And we love children put a swastika on the bright red firehouse door
Am D C G
America, the beautiful, it makes a body proud
G C C/B
And then came the night that made America famous
Am C D G
Was it carelessness or someone's sick idea of a joke?
G C C C/B
In the tinder-box trap we hippies lived in someone struck a spark
Am C/B Am
At first I thought that I was dreamin'
C/G Am C/G
Then I saw the first flames gleamin'
F D
And heard the sound of children screamin'
C G
Comin' through the smoke
Bb A
And somethin's burnin' somewhere
B G
DOES ANYBODY CARE?
G C C/B
Oh, it was the fire that made America famous
Am D G
The sirens wailed and the firemen stumbled sleepin' from their homes
G
And when the plumber yelled, "C'mon, let's go!"
C C C/B
They saw what was burnin' and said, "Take it slow"
Am
"Let 'em sweat a little"
D
"They'll never know"
C

Here's some more by Tracy Chapman:
Across The Lines:
Pretty much just four chords, F#m (244222), E (022100), Bm (x244322),

and D (xx0232). If I recall correctly there's a break that goes between an A
and A(add9) (x02420) and back to A, but am not sure. Also not sure, but in the
outro I think she's playing G and A.

{title: Across The Lines}
{st: Tracy Chapman}
Across the[F#m] lines
Who could [E]dare to go
[Bm]Under the bridge
[D]Over the tracks
[G]That separates whites from blacks[A] [A(add9)] [A]
Choose sides
Or run for your life
Tonight the riots behin
On back streets of America
They kill the dream of America
Little black girl gets assaulted

Ain't no reason why
Newspaper prints the story
And racist tempers fly
Next day it start a riot
Knives and guns are drawn
Two black boys get killed
One white boy goes blind

Don't no one know her name
Lots of people hurt and angry
She's the one to blame

Verse2:
Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd make someting that could me mine forever
Found out the hard way once can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul
Verse3:
I thought, thought that I could find a way
to beat the system
to make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all, I'd run away
Me for myself fist class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul.
Verse4:
Here I am waiting for a better day
A second change
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul.
All that you have is your soul...
Do you have the chords / Tabs to "If these are the things" ?

Well, somebody a few days back requested "All That You Have Is Your
Soul" so I've tabbed out the intro. I've heard that it's actually played with
a capo at the fifth fret, but I've never tried playing it up there. After the
intro, the chords are still picked pretty much the same, but the sequence
occasionally changes. Finally, don't use the tab for timing. I'm still
not terribly adept at translating time into intervals of dashes.:)

Give him drugs and give him candy

Anything to make him think he's happy
And he won't ever come for us

And if there's no on else around
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him down
If he preys only on his neighbors

Brothers sisters and friends
We'll consider it a favor
We'll consider justice done
But if he comes for you or me

And we can place a gun in his hand
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him dead
What you go and do

You go and give the boy a gun
Now we'll all be at his mercy

If he decides to hunt us down
Cause there ain't no place to run to
If he wants the chances that you took from him

And nothing that you own
Then there'll be no place to run
There'll no place to run
And if he finds himself to be

A refection of us all
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot us down
Before you can raise your eyes to read

The writing on the wall
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot us down
Before you can bridge the gulf between

And embrace him in your arms
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot you down
I hope this fits :-)

{title: Behind The Wall}
{st: Tracy Chapman (accappella)}
Last night I heard the screaming

Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call
The police
Always come late
If they come at all
And when they arrive

They say they can't interfere
With domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walk out the door
The tears well up in her eyes

Then a silence that chilled my soul
I prayed that I was dreaming
When I saw the ambulance in the road
And the policeman said

"I'm here to keep the peace
Will the crowd disperse
I think we all could use some sleep"

You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal,Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better, Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something, But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car, And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store, Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far, Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs, And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem, He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working, I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him, She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him, So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision, We leave tonight or live and die this way
[D]I remember we were [A]driving driving in your car

[F#m]The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
[Esus]City lights lay out before us
[D]And your arm felt nice wrapped[F#m]'round my shoulder
[E]And I [D]had a feeling that [F#m]I belonged
[E]And I [D]had feeling I [E]could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car, And we go cruising to entertain ourselves

You still ain't got a job, And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better, You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter, Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car, And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar, See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better, Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision, You leave tonight or live and die this way

Fast car - Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
Hi, this is a little variation on the song fast car. It is played twice on
her cd. This is the main theme.

Fast Car:
e-----------0----0----------|5------4----4-------- Repeat this over, and
B--T------------------------|---------------------over, until the bridge "I re-
G--A--6-7-6-----------------|---------------------member we were driving..."
D--B--7-----7----------7----|7------7--------7----where the following chords
A---------------------------|---------------------come in:
E---------------------------|---------------------

B--T------------------------|---------------------
G--A--6-7-6-----------------|---------------------
D--B--7-----7----------7----|---------------------

Cheers!
R.J. De La Haye / rcbard@urc.tue.nl

Fast Car:
A---------------------------|---------------------come in:
E---------------------------|---------------------
D, for one measure, A for one measure, F#m(244222) for a measure, Esus
(022200) for a measure, then a measure in which a D and F#m are given equal
time, followed by a measure of E. Repeat the last two measures, then play one
with a D and E. Back to the repeating riff.
This is what I've got for Fast Car by Tracy Chapman:
I'm not going to post the words, b/c I don't know them. But this is
a decnt compromise on the continual riff throughout the song,
considering I can't play bass and acoustic guitars at the same time.
Oh, and yes, I did this by listening to the CD.
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 repeat...

B-T-|-2-3-2----------|----------------|
G-A-|-2-----------2--|-----2-------2--|
D-B-|-0--------------|----------------|
A---|-------0--------|----------------|
E---|----------------|-2-----0--------|
I apologize if my notation is unconventional, but this is my first

TAB post attempt. It's a little tricky to play this version, but I
can manage it by keeping my index finger on the G, and by cheating
with my thumb for the E bass notes. The bridge/chorus(?) chords are
posted elsewhere.

For My Lover:
I use "^" for hammer-on, and the "d" and "u" to indicate downaward and
upward strums. Here's the intro:
Em G D Cmaj7
d u d u d u d u
e-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|2---2---2---0---------|
B--T--0---0-----------0---0-----------|3---3---3---0---------|
G--A--0---0-----------0---0-----------|2---2---2---0---------|
D--B--2---2-------0---0---0-------0---|0---0---0---2---------|
A-----2---2---0^2-----2---2---0^2-----|------------3---------|
E-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|----------------------|
The intro is repeated, and then:
Em G
Two weeks in a Virginia jail
D A
For my lover, for my lover.
Em G
Twenty thousand dollar bail
D A
For my lover, for my lover.---
C
And everybody thinks
A(add9) (x02420)
I'm the fool.
D
They don't get---any
C
love from you.
Em
Things we won't do for love---
A(add9)
Em
I'd climb a mountain if I had to,
G
risk my life so I could have you---
D
you- you- you- you...
Cmaj7 (x32000)
you- you -you -you -you.
Repeat this progression with these lyrics:
Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed

for my lover, for my lover.
Dope me up and I tell them lies
for my lover, for my lover.---
And everybody thinks... etc.
Stay on the Cmaj7 the second time through an extra measure, for:
Cmaj7
I follow my heart
Em
and leave my head to ponder
D
deep in this love--- no
Cmaj7
man can shake.
Keep with these chord changes for the rmaining lyrics:
I follow my heart
and leave my mind to wonder,
is this love worth- the sacri-
fices I make?
Now repeat the from the "Two weeks in a Virginia jail" verse.
Why?:
The chords used in this are Bm (x24432), G (320003), A (x02220),

D(add9) (xx0230), and A(add9) (x02420). The intro is merely alternating
between Bm and G, and adding hammers-on. In the case of the Bm hammer-on the
three fingers other than the one barring at the second fret. With the G hammer
on the pointer finger. After that:
Bm
Why do the babies starve, there's enough food to feed the world?
G A
Why, when there's so many of us are there people still alone?
Bm
Why are the missiles called peacekeepers, when they're aimed to kill?
G A
Why is a woman still not safe when she's in her home?
D(add9)
Love is hate
A(add9)
war is peace,
Bm
no is yes,-
G
we're all free.---- But, some-
Bm
body's gonna have to answer, the time is coming soon. Amidst
G
all these questions and contradictions there're

Chords in this one are Am, Dm, F and G.
All That You Have Is Your Soul:
Basic fingerpicking pattern embellished with hammers-on, changing

between A, E, D, and D(add9) (xx0230). I think that she might play this capoed
at the fifth fret, but am not sure. The version I do is without a capo.
Hammer-on a "d" on the A chord pattern, a "c" on the E, a "g" on the D, and a
"d" on the D(add9).
Coming next: April Come She Will by Simon & Garfunkel.

This is what is played in the intro, but watch for changes in the
pattrern once she begins singing, as the order of the bars varies. Perhaps
despite first appearances, not very complex left hand fingering. Basically,
finger-picking between G, D, and C chords. Pattern changes to strumming right
before "Look at me losing control,". Use Em (022000), C (x32010), Am7 (x02010)
and another C. Upon "emotions" the finger picking pattern is resumed.

Subject: CRD was REQ: Tracy Chapman, "Give Me One Reason"
My guitar just confirmed what my ear told me: It's a simple 12-bar
blues. There are a few variations on the pattern, but the one I use
is:
E7 A7 E7 E7 A7 A7 E7 E7 B7 A7 E7 B7
Here's how it fits with the lyrics:
GIVE ME ONE REASON

On: Tracy Chapman, _New Beginning_
Words & Music: Tracy Chapman
INTRO: Blues progression (above)
E7 A7 E7
CHORUS: Give me one reason to stay here and I'll turn right back around
A7 E7
Give me one reason to stay here and I'll turn right back around
B7
'Cause I don't want to leave you lonely
A7 E7 B7
But you've got to make me change my mind
Baby I got your number and I know that you've got mine
Baby I got your number and I know that you've got mine
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime (but you got to call me)
CHORUS
I don't want no one to squeeze me, they might take away my life
I don't want no one to squeeze me, they might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasing you around, wasting my precious energy
CHORUS
Baby just give me one reason, give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason, give me just one reason why I should stay
Because I told you that I love you and there ain't no more to say
End on E7

If Not Now:
Use a capo barred at the second fret to match the pitch of this one.
Follow the transcription as you would any TAB, disregarding the fact that
you're two frets up. A pitch of "2" is played by plucking the notated string
two frets above the capo, not the nut.

F-----0---- This is repeated a few times; when Tracy sings "then- why make
C#-T----1--your promises" the chords change between D, Bm, A, Fm, and G. Again
A--A------0remember that the song is capoed at the second fret, so the shape of
E--B-------the D will be a C, the Bm and Am, etc. In case it's still unclear,
B----------here are the actual chord forms to shape:
F----------D (x32010), Bm (x02210), A (320003), F#m (022000, and G (133211).
Change to an F#m7 (010000) when the sequence is repeated immediately
thereafter. Change between G and A on the bridge to the repeat.
Hoped to finish her stuff up here, but looks like there'll be one more
posting. I'm not going to include "Behind The Wall" as it's a cappella, but
will try to throw in the rest from her first album and what I've figured of
"All That You Have Is Your Soul".

{st:Tracy Chapman}
[Am],---------- [Dm],---------- [F]---------- and [G].
The life I've always wanted

I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of life of ease
And mountains o' things
To have a big expensive car

Drag my furs on the ground
And have a maid that I can tell
To bring me anything
Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
I'll revel in their attention
And mountains
Oh mountains o' things
To have
Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains o' nothing at birth
Oh they tell me
There's still time to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all tose material things you gained by
Exploiting other human beings
Consume more than you need

This is the dream
Make you pauper
Or make you queen
I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o' things
Mostly I feel lonely

Good good people are
Good people are only
My stepping stones
It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
To surround me
Keep all my enemies away
Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming..

Dreaming...

[C]She's got her ticket
[G]I think she gonna use it
[Am]I think she going [C]to fly away[Am]
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up
Why not leave why not

Go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with
Nothing
Young girl ain't got no chances

No roots to keep her strong
She's shed all pretenses
That someday she'll belong
Some folks call her a runaway
A failure in the race
But she knows where her ticket takes her
She will find her place in the sun
And she'll fly, fly, fly...

D, for one measure, A for one measure, F#m(244222) for a measure, Esus
(022200) for a measure, then a measure in which a D and F#m are given equal

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car

And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem

He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car

The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car

And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car

And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car

But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

Across The Lines ihateuw@u.washington.edu (David Wong)
Across The Lines:
Pretty much just four chords, F#m (244222), E (022100), Bm (x244322),

and D (xx0232). If I recall correctly there's a break that goes between an A
and A(add9) (x02420) and back to A, but am not sure. Also not sure, but in the
outro I think she's playing G and A.
Across the lines

Who could dare to go
Under the bridge
Over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides
Or run for your life
Tonight the riots behin
On back streets of America
They kill the dream of America

Ain't no reason why
Newspaper prints the story
And racist tempers fly
Next day it start a riot
Knives and guns are drawn
Two black boys get killed
One white boy goes blind

Don't no one know her name
Lots of people hurt and angry
She's the one to blame
******************************************************************************
Behind The Wall (a cappella)

Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call
The police
Always come late
If they come at all
And when they arrive

They say they can't interfere
With domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walk out the door
The tears well up in her eyes

Then a silence that chilled my soul
I prayed that I was dreaming
When I saw the ambulance in the road
And the policeman said

"I'm here to keep the peace
Will the crowd disperse
I think we all could use some sleep"

Chords are C, G and Am.
She's got her ticket

I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up
Why not leave why not

Go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with
Nothing
Young girl ain't got no chances

No roots to keep her strong
She's shed all pretenses
That someday she'll belong
Some folks call her a runaway
A failure in the race
But she knows where her ticket takes her
She will find her place in the sun
And she'll fly, fly, fly...
******************************************************************************
WHY?
The chords used in this are Bm (x24432), G (320003), A (x02220),

D(add9) (xx0230), and A(add9) (x02420). The intro is merely alternating
between Bm and G, and adding hammers-on. In the case of the Bm hammer-on the
three fingers other than the one barring at the second fret. With the G hammer
on the pointer finger. After that:
Bm
Why do the babies starve, there's enough food to feed the world?
G A
Why, when there's so many of us are there people still alone?
Bm
Why are the missiles called peacekeepers, when they're aimed to kill?
G A
Why is a woman still not safe when she's in her home?
D(add9)
Love is hate
A(add9)
war is peace,
Bm
no is yes,-
G
we're all free.---- But, some-
Bm
body's gonna have to answer, the time is coming soon. Amidst
G
all these questions and contradictions there're
A
some who seek the truth.
Tell me...
But somebody's gonna have to answer

The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
Tell me...
******************************************************************************
For My Lover ihateuw@u.washington.edu (David Wong)
For My Lover:
I use "^" for hammer-on, and the "d" and "u" to indicate downaward and
upward strums. Here's the intro:
Em G D Cmaj7
d u d u d u d u
e-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|2---2---2---0---------|
B--T--0---0-----------0---0-----------|3---3---3---0---------|
G--A--0---0-----------0---0-----------|2---2---2---0---------|

A-----2---2---0^2-----2---2---0^2-----|------------3---------|
E-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|----------------------|
The intro is repeated, and then:
Em G
Two weeks in a Virginia jail
D A
For my lover, for my lover.
Em G
Twenty thousand dollar bail
D A
For my lover, for my lover.---
C
And everybody thinks
A(add9) (x02420)
I'm the fool.
D
They don't get---any
C
love from you.
Em
Things we won't do for love---
A(add9)
Em
I'd climb a mountain if I had to,
G
risk my life so I could have you---
D
you- you- you- you...
Cmaj7 (x32000)
you- you -you -you -you.
Repeat this progression with these lyrics:

for my lover, for my lover.---
Stay on the Cmaj7 the second time through an extra measure, for:
Cmaj7
I follow my heart
Em
and leave my head to ponder
D
deep in this love--- no
Cmaj7
man can shake.
Keep with these chord changes for the rmaining lyrics:
I follow my heart
is this love worth- the sacri-
fices I make?
Two weeks in a Virginia jail...
******************************************************************************
If Not Now...
If not now then when

If not today then
Why make your promises
A love declared for days to come
Is as good as none
You can wait 'til morning comes

You can wait for the new day
You can wait and lose this heart
You can wait and soon be sorry
Now love's the only thing that's free

We must take it where it's found
Pretty soon it may be costly
If not now what then

We all must live out lives
Always feeling
Always thinking
The moment has arrived
******************************************************************************
For You
There's no words to say

No words to convey
This feeling inside I have for you
Deep in my heart
Safe from the guards
Of intellect and reason
Leaving me at a loss
For words to express my feelings
Deep in my heart
Look at me losing control

Thinking I have a hold
But with feelings this strong
I'm no longer the master
Of my emotions

(**) Sandwich in between main riffs
NOTES on main riff:
(1) Leave no fingers on the fretboard here. Get into position

for the next two-note chord.
(2) Using the higher F is a form of cheating, but when played up

to speed the octave change is hidden. This is the main trick
of the piece.
(3) The measure actually starts with the hammered-on C. I didn't

include the bar only because it looked hard to read that way.
(4) It takes extra practice to move the left index finger from
the second-string C to the sixth-string F. Same as bar 2.
(5) This is the same high E as the first note in the main riff, so
you can see that the timing is not exact. I hope you can get
the idea through the feel of this rather than exact notation.
NOTES on Verse:
(6) Set the left index finger on the second-string C now, and use
the pinky for the D. The ring finger can handle the bass G.
(7) Same as note 4.
(8) Use a full first-fret barre to fret both the second and sixth
strings. Keep the ring finger on the A while changing this.
(9) Syncopate the bass with the melody here.
(10) The second verse has an extra 4 bars. Make it up as I'm getting
tired of doing this.
FINGERING:
I find it easier to use the pinky to fret the low G on the first
four measures, and to use the thumb for the F. (Please don't flame
this part; I have had lessons but sometimes expediency prevails over
theoretical technique.) This keeps the right hand in a good position
for doing both melody and the step-down bass.

#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------#

artist: Cheap Trick

song: Baby Loves To Rock
album: All Shook Up
key: D/b
tuning:
this song can be done in standard tuning on a four string,
granted, it will sound stupid as hell merely because of one low D.
I personally am too lazy to tune down, although it only requires doing
the E and A's down a whole step, or the E down a whole step for some
(I tried this and can't play a scale where the open A is an A and the 5th
fret on the E is a G.) Here is the tab in standard tuning for a four
string; if you tune down your E and A, just move the numbers up two
frets, and play the bass solo an octave lower, starting on the 7th fret
of the A string, which'll be a D. Here we go:
verse
(N.C.) More and more I'm thinking about love
A--4-5-5-5---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-3-5
(N.C.) Lovin' ain't all I'm a thinking of
A--4-5-5-5---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-3-5
(N.C) Some people do and so people don't
E--4-5-5-5---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-3-5
(N.C.) Some people will and say they won't
A--4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5---4-5-5-3-5-
chorus
But my (G)baby (D) loves to (A) rock

My (G)baby (D)loves to (A)roll
My (G)baby (D)loves to (A)all night long
My (G)baby (D)loves to (A)rock
second verse
More and more I'm thinking about S-S-S

The more I think, the better is gets
More and more I'm a thinking about se-se-se-
The more I think, the worse it gets
repeat chorus
in the last line of the chorus, instead of the A, go to
an E (second fret D string/7th fret A string) and do an E major scale
descending one octave to low E.
She loves to rock (another scale)

third verse
(guitar solo in D, bass and drums silent)
A--4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5----4-5-5-3-5
(bass solo!)
standard tuning tuned down full step
G--7-6-4---4--------------- | G--7-6-4---4-
D--------7---7-5-4-5-4----- | D--------7---7-5-4-5-4-2-0
A----------------------7-5- |
A---4-5-5-5---4-5-5-5---4-5-5-3-5
(guitar solo in A)
E---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5--4-5-5-3-5-
(guitar solo in D)
A---4-5-5-5----4-5-5-5---4-5-5-3-5
repeat chorus, and do the descending scale part again
bridge
(D) In the morning in the evening

(A) In the summer in the winter
(G) in my car in the night
(D) in an airplane not in Russia
do the descending scale part of the chorus 4 times
then do the first two lines of the first verse and there you have it
this was a bitch to tab, and I hope I didn't confuse anybody TOO badly

Subject: TAB: "Dream Police" (Cheap Trick)
Date: Sun, 18 Apr 93 14:44:54 CDT
Please add this to the ftp archives. Does this mean we'll finally have a
CheapTrick directory? :)
Here is the best I can do for the title track for Cheap Trick's "Dream Police"
album. I can't get the last line of the chorus, so I had to guess, it could be
wrong. Other points where I may have fucked up:
I have no idea what the chords are behind the verse. I got the damn solo,
which is over the verse progression, but for the life of me I can't get the
chords. I can't even figure out the bassline.
The "solo" section (which reminds ME a lot of the breakdown in Springsteen's

"Born to Run") was REALLY hard to get. The orchestra/synthesizer really
screwed me up, so what I have may be right, but it won't sound like it unless
you play with the album or transcribe the synth parts. You can do that your
own damn self. :) Also, the time signature alternates between 4/4 (the
signature of the rest of the song) and 3/4. I tried to make it clear where
the changes occur.
The part under the line "They're looking for me" may only be the bass, but I
put it as a guitar part, because it's so damn cool.
Other than that, enjoy. I think that this should be played on a Les Paul. My
strat doesn't give me nearly enough bottom on this one, supporting my
conclusion that FOR ME, strats are better lead instruments and Pauls are
better for rhythm. But to each his or her own.

* in the recorded version of the song, he's "lonesome for love", but in an
acoustic demo I've heard he's "lonesome for home". I much prefer the
"lonesome for home" bit but, hey, Cheap Trick always had the corniest
lyrics. Still do. I wouldn't like them so much if they didn't. :)
Bitch to learn, bitch to tab, but well worth it.

Well, I thought my introduction to tabbing might as well be with an

introductory type song, namely:
Hello There/Goodnight Now

by Cheap Trick
appearing on At Budakan and In Color (Hello There only)
standard tuning: E A D G
intro:
E: 3/5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 (repeat as necessary)
verse:
E: 3/5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 (play twice)
Hello there ladies and gentlemen

Hello there ladies and gents are you
A: 5-5-4------------
E: ------5-(5)-5-5-5 (play twice)
Ready to rock are you

ready or not
(this completes the verse)

play the whole verse again
Bridge:
just play the open E continually

Would you like to? Would you like to?
Outro:
D-A-E twice
(this is the part when Robin sings the "ooh")
Alternate lyrics for "Goodnight Now"

basically the same, but the verse is
Goodnight Now ladies and gentlemen
Goodnight Now ladies and gents it's the
End of the show Now it's
Time to go
Well, if anyone has any questions or comments, or you think my style of

tabbing pretty much sucks, mail senomar@bach.udel.edu

title: If You Want My Love
album: One on One
key: E/c#
Although not the first album I'd ever purchased, One On One means a lot
to me; it was the first album from Cheap Trick after they lost their
trendiness and strong popularity, and one I loved. I was 7, and found
myself defending my taste in Cheap Trick and other bands for the first
time. I've had to do it a lot since then, but remember defending
this particular album especially.
That, and I had a crush on the new bassist, Jon Brant. :)
intro
(E) Ah_______ ah. Ah______ ah.
chorus
If you (E)want my love you (A)got it.

If you (C#)need my love you (F#)got it.
I won't (A)hide it. I won't (B)throw your love a(E)way. Ohh.
chorus
first verse
(Em)Yes I thought you were a (C)mystery girl

(Em)A special girl in this (C)crazy old world
(Am7)You couldn't see me when I (C)laid eyes on (Em)you (C)
(Em)Lonely is (D)only a (C#)place
You don't (Am)know what it's (G)like. You can't (F#)fight it
It's a (Dm)hole in my (C)heart in my (B)heart
chorus twice
second verse
You hold the secrets of love in this world

I'm hypnotized by your every word
A special face, special voice, special smile in my life
Cause lonely is only a place
You don't know what it's like. You can't fight it
It's a hole in my heart in my heart.
chorus trice, ending on Em

But give me time, and I'll think of something.

I can't say today that I'm alright,

But by tonight, I'll think of something.
A G
I'll find so many things to do that I won't have

the time to think of her.

And then if she's still on my mind I'll try to
A Bm
drink enough to.... (can't remember these last words here)

and I can't speak, I'll think of something.
A G
If I can't say a word to her I'll blame it on this

Subject: The King of Broken Hearts by Mark Chesnutt
The King of Broken Hearts by Mark Chesnutt Written by Jim Lauderdale

------------------------------------------
This song is in Eb and I'm gonna write it down that way, but it's probably
best to capo up at the 3rd fret and play as if it was in C.
Eb
The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
Bb
And he has quite a few of them
G Cm
They know he'll understand
F Bb Eb Eb Bb
That's just the way it goes.
Eb
The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
Bb
He's trying to forget other things
G Cm
Like some ol' chilly scenes
F Bb Eb Eb Bb
He's walking through alone.
F
CHORUS: He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
Bb
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
C
He recalls how his heart got broken
F
And how it's still that way.
Eb
The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
Bb
He can smile while he's crying inside
G Cm
We know he'll be brave tonight
F Bb Eb Eb Bb
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts.
SOLO (Eb Bb G Cm F Bb)
CHORUS
Eb
The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool
Bb
He's a little bit like me and you
G Cm
So what's a king like that supposed to do
F D
With all that blue time
G Cm
We know he'll be brave tonight
F Eb
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts
Eb Bb
He's the king of broken hearts.
Ok. And here are the chords with a capo at the third fret:
Eb=C
Bb=G
G=E
Cm=Am
F=D
D=B
It's also very cool, I think, to walk down from Bb to G (or from G to E if you
are using the capo). Also, if you are not using the capo, I find it better to
finger the chords like:
Eb:x65343
Bb:688766
G:355433
Cm:x35543
F:133211
D;x5777x
as I think they tend to blend a little better with the vocals.

I [A] shoulda done this and I shoulda done that
I shoulda been there and she'd never left
I shoulda been [E] hangin' onto ev'ry word she had to [A] say
But, it's a little too late, she's a little too gone
She's a little too right, I'm a little too wrong
Now would [E] be a good time to change, but it's a little too [A] late.
Last night I came home at a quarter to three ---

And to my surprise she wasn't mad at me
I thought she'd finally realized not to worry - I'd be home
And then I realized this mornin' she was gone.
2nd CHORUS
3rd CHORUS
Right now would be the time to change

But It's a little too late.

"Have You Seen Her"

(Eugene Record - Barbara Acklin)
Intro (wordless vocals w/fuzz guitar) [2X]:
E G#m7 A E/B B7
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
(spoken; chords as above):
One month ago today

I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies - maybe to the park
And have a seat on the same old bench

To watch the children play (huh)
You know, tomorrow is their future
But to me, just another day
They all gather around me

They seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain
I know I can't hide from a memory

'Though day after day I've tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back
But today again I lied
Verse 1:
E Emaj7
Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
E6 E
On the street, and even at the picture show
B7sus4 B7
Have you seen her?
E
Tell me, have you seen her?
Verse 2:
Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow

In the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her?
Bridge:
A G#m F#m
Why, oh, why
E E+ E6 E7
Did she have to leave and go away [2: oh, yeah]
F#7
Oh-oh-oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
B7sus4 B7
And I'm lost
B7sus4 B7 A/B
Baby, I'm lost (Oh)
[Repeat verse w/wordless vocal first two lines (2X)]
Verse 3:
Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips

But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her?
Verse 4:
Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me

Only she can set me free
Have you seen her?
[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat verse w/wordless vocal first 2 lines (4X)]
(spoken over 2nd and 3rd repeats):
As another day comes to an end

I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin'
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know
I'm still a lonely man
You know, it's funny
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand
Coda [repeat to fade]:
F#m7
Have you seen her
E
Tell me, have you seen her (tell me, have you seen her?)

"(For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People"

(Eugene Record)
Intro:
synths - 8 bars over F#
Partial chorus:
(F#) F#9 [xxx999]

For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people
Verse 1:
(F#) F#9
There's some people up there hoggin' everything
(F#) F#9
Tellin' lies, givin' alibis about the people's money and things
(F#) F#9
And if they gonna throw it away, might as well give some to me
(F#) F#9
Yeah they seen and heard it, but never had misery
C# B
There are some people who are starvin' to death
C# B
Never knew but only hate us [?], and they never had happiness
C# B
Oh, oh, oh, if you don't have enough to eat, how can you think of love
C# B A
You don't have the time to care so it's crime you're guilty of, oh yeah
Chorus:
(F#) F#9
For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people
(F#) F#9
For God's sake, why don't you give more power to the people
Verse 2:
Cut this jive and see who's got the power to kill the most
When they run out of power, the world's gonna be a ghost
They know we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler
Makin' us a promise and throwin' a few more dollars
There's no price for happiness, there's no price for love

Up goes the price of livin', and you're right back where you was
So whatever you got, just be glad you got it
Now we're gonna get on up and get some more of it
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus w/wordless vocals (2X)]
[repeat chorus; fade 4th time]
(3: got to have it... more power)

Well that song is quite tight...

My main problem is the little scale thing..
I mean it's start something like:
A| -4--4-4-4---4--4-4-4---2--2-2-2---0---0-2-0-2--- (x3)
then...
A| -4--4-4-4---5--5-5-5--
at which point it does some twiddly bit which I can't find and then
later it does this descending scale thing! Can you help?
(When you get ASHES back of course)!

Funny I always found it easier to play this on one string like:
G|--------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------
E|-0-0-12--0-0-7--0-0-8--0-0-5-0-3-2-3--
Playing to the live version on "The Heretics alive" this was fine,
but playing along to the ver. on "SD&JC" I have to tune the E-string up
a tone(ie Tune the E-string to F#).
The guitar is then something like:
E(XII) B(VII) C(VIII) A(V) G F# G(III)

/ / / / / / / / / /
E(XII) B(VII) C(VIII) A(V) G(XV)
/ / / / / / / / / /
Where E(XII) is E played as an F-barre chord at 12th fret.

Again to play along to the record add a note to each of these(2 frets)
ie F# C# D B A Ab A

of short riffs... First the chords....
NB:I'll use the following to denote the strumming patterns

in the first part of the song...
(Elsewhere use your imagination ;) )

and the same for the E's and Em's - I'm tone death where minors
are concerned! ;)

------and here-----:)
I'll try to work on CoNR... By the way need anymore Sisters desperately?
I can play just about all the early stuff (all of Some Girls), about
half of FaLaA, all of the few guitar parts on Floodland ( :) ), and all
of Vision Thing (what a boast that one is!)
I might do some Cult next tho' - how about SpiritWalker or 53rd Dream or
Nirvana or Hollow Man or Brother Wolf, Sister Moon?
Has Adrenaline been done yet? That's piss easy!
How about some DCD?! Say - Indoctrination?! We've been planning a

cover of that, so I could transcribe the main riff...
Anyway - I'll surprise you...

Song: Not the girl I used to be

Words and music by: Chumbawamba
Transcribed by: Christian Dyhre christian.dyhre@mailbox.swipnet.se
This is a very simple song to play. There's only a few basic chords
and that is: /C /G /Am/F,G/ It's just to play these chords the whole
song through.
Good luck!
{C}Wondering
Have I {G}given up dreaming?
Come {Am}down from the ceiling
I {F}won't do that a{G}gain
{C}Thinking
My misspent {G}history
Mistakes to {Am}teach me
I {F}won't do that a{G}gain
{C}Dreams I kept as a {G}child

Kept me quiet and hypnot{Am}ised
Cooked away my valent{F}ines
Served my{G}self up every {C}night
Couldn't see me for the {G}trees
And all that hallmark poetr{Am}y
{F}I'm {G}not the girl i used to {C}be
{G}I'm not the girl i used to {Am}be {F}{G}
Wondering
Have I given up dreaming?
Come down from the ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking
My misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again
Trying to break the family ties

Chocolate hearts and tacky lies
Heard a thousand crappy lines
And i believed the every time
So I beg to disagree
Love's not taking all of me
I'm not the girl I used to be
I'm not the girl I used to be

This girl
She got caught out on the multi-storey car park
Throwing goodbye notes wrapped up in bricks
When they put her in the car
She said "Jesus made me do it"
But all the priests in all the world couldn't save this girl
This girl
Content with all the bloody noses,
scabby knees you get from fighting wars like these
Running past the tidy houses pulling faces
This material world couldn't tempt this girl
{F}Now she {G}entertains the {C}world and all it's {Am}mates

{F}But she {G}doesn't fit {C}in {C}
{F}Every{G}body thinks this {C}girl is {Am}great
But she's {F}lacing all the {F}party drinks
with {F}venom from a {F}poison {C}pen {G}{Am}{C}{F}{C}{F}{G}
This girl
She made a habit of habitually lying
Does everybody's head in
She knows what happens when the next stop that you see
It's not the one that everyone expected it to be
This girl
Happy families round the supermarket check-out

She loves to be the odd one out the part girl who stayed upstairs
Playing musical chairs La-la, la-la-la
She doesn't care
This girl
{F}Now she {G}entertains the {C}world and all it's {Am}mates

{F}But she {G}doesn't fit {C}in {C}
{F}Every{G}body thinks this {C}girl is {Am}great

And now, just a few words words:

"Open your eyes. It's time to wake up. Enough is enough. Give the
fascist man a gunshot"

Subject: CHORD: Ugh! Your Ugly Houses by Chumbawamba
Here is a very simple chord sheet of a great anarcho-dance song, namely
Chumbawamba: Ugh! Your Ugly Houses! (written and performed by Chumbawamba)

from the album Swingin' With Raymond
It is only one chord sequence:
E
Your ugly
G#m
Your ugly
A
Your ugly houses look so ugh!
Easy, innit ?
I'd be glad to see more difficult pieces by this band on the OLGA.

All of the gifts come dear and swift, promise her anything only if

We come to pay homage to the golden one
We share and bare the message of your newborn son

We follow paths of falling stars, in and out of mangers, other bars

Opportunity knocked you up I guess
Gave you your little baby's success

You've got potential, you have the gift
You have the chance to heal a million rifts

We've been sent to sing a lullaby for you

We've brought oils golden wine and bread
Dreaming pillow for his divine head

Astrologers all we plot the charts
And wise men we can look into people's hearts

A doom is on this child that I can see
He don't belong in this time of you and me

His life will not be very long, before you know it he will be gone

I hear a mandolin, in the springs

Out the wardrobe floats the hint of a rumour

Dressed in your beloved's finest things

Can you hear the voices that are constantly talking

Am I only one to succumb to their roar

Well I know, the form it is taking, it's not making sense anymore

The way you say, you just want to help me

The way your clinging is slinging me under

The strength I need already denied me, your big ideas and your little wonder

So take this plastic and rent me some wheels, or maybe I'll try to fly

No reservations I'll see how it feels

And when the sun is squeezing through the blinds, you will be far away

Deep afternoon seeing the moon will have shined

LYRICS
1.
Too dangerous to keep
Too feeble to let go
And you want to bite the hand
Shoulda stopped this long ago
Chours
Go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
With your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tounge and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile
2.
Had you coiled around my arm
How could you ever know
How I loved your diamond eyes
But that was long ago
Chorus
Solo
3.
And I should have believed Eve
She said we had to blow
She was the apple of my eye
It wasn't long ago

Am C
Tiny baby so naive
Dm F Am C Dm F
I can't believe what you believe, you were once so happy here
Am C
It may not be Eden or summer in Greece
Dm F Am C Dm F
You may not even find the golden fleece, in the drag of this atmosphere
Am
Now I don't want to bring up a delicate matter
Dm Am Dm
No I'd much rather bribe or flatter you, cos flattery gets me everywhere
Am
But you punctured my tyres, you crossed all my wires
Dm Am Dm
I brand your acolytes as a pack of liars, and the fire's singing everywhere
Ebm F#
Rip...., buckle like a wreck in a cold grey sea
Ebm F#
Rip...., like you were a ripple in my memory
Am
I lent you some collateral to buy new clothes
Dm Am Dm
It went out the window and up your nose, and that's the end of the honeymoon
Am
Yeah we walked down the aisle for another mile
Dm
I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles
Am Dm
And you can have all the money soon

You're so deluxe you're so divine
Dm Am Dm
You're so 50 light years ahead of your time, you're a riddle you're a ripple
Am
You're a human sacrifice to the goddess of vice
Dm Am Dm
Your hairdo is full of diamonds and lice, and you're hardly off the nipple

Tear It All Away (Church)
D(f# f# f# e f# f# e f# | f# f# g f# g f# e f#) (notes added to D chord)

People say to see is to believe
Then they just believe in that they can perceive
What they see is not the total view
Filtered between the me and you
G F#m G
But I'm trying so hard, just to tell you I care
F#m Em C
And I've wanted so long, to tear it all away, tear it all away

People say well you just had to be there
And all the time you know they've never been there
And it makes me sad to sit and think
All those empty souls are nearly at the brink
G F#m G
But I'm trying so hard, just to open my eyes
F#m Em C
To seeing some things, that tear it all away, tear it all away

People grow up and learn to drive some car
But I did that and it doesn't get you far
The things you want are never to be found
And in the end it's all some running round
G F#m G
But I'm trying so hard, just to keep to myself
F#m Em C
The things that I hope, will tear it all away, tear it all away
G / / D7 / / G / / Em / / G / / D7 / / G / / D7 / / G / /
Em D C D
I thought you would know, I thought you would know

People say they think that they are sure
But then they turn away and don't go back no more
What they saw was not the perfect sight
Just their own face reflected in the night
G F#m G
But I'm trying so hard, just to tell you it's now
F#m Em C
And I'm gonna keep on trying, to tear it all away, tear it all away

UNDER THE MILKY WAY

The Church
Am Em7+ Fmaj7 G ( Em7+- 0 2 2 0 3 3)

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Some of the breath fades with the light
I think about this loveless fascination
Under the milky way tonight
Lower the curtain down on Memphis

Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
CHORUS
G Fmaj7
Wish I knew what you were looking for
G (Em7, Am7, Fmaj7)
Might've known what you would find
And it's something quite peculiar

Something shimmering and white
It leads you here despite your destination
CHORUS
repeat 3rd verse

Now the chords. There are two guitars. One plays these chords in
open position, and the shapes are as such:

E-0-----3--------0-----3-----0--
B-1-----3--------1-----3-----1--
G-2-----2--------2-----0-----0--
D-2-----2--------3-----0-----2--
A-0-----0--------------2-----3--
E----------------------3--------
The other guitar is capoed up on the 5th fret, and the chord forms
are these (assuming that we treat the 5th fret as the nut):
E-0-----0--------0-----0-----3--
B-0-----3--------0-----3-----3--
G-0-----2--------0-----2-----0--
D-2-----0--------2-----0-----0--
A-2-----2--------3-----------2--
E-0-----0--------------------3--
If you plan on playing this with only one guitar, I strongly

recommend using the second set of chords, as the high capoed notes
ring out very nicely and sound more like the whole song in general.

This was the first song I ever worked out on the guitar, so it's a
bit basic: I only have the intro + chords. The archive already has
the chords, so here's the intro.

The last measure screwed me up. It goes back to the main pattern, but
it's off a little, time-wise. Treat it as 2/4 and it resolves itself
nicely back into the verse pattern.

3. Do 1 & 2 again

4. Do this:

I'm gonna skip the chords, it's just GCGC etc.

Oh boy, here we go. This is kind of embarassing - even stranger than the
requests for this is the fact that I own the album... Anyway, I figured
I would post this, since I'm too lazy to send 2 separate emails, and this
way anyone else who is too shy to admit they want this can just read
anonymously. I don't know the chords - given the song, I don't think they
are too important - any should do...
Enjoy!

WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN

Circle Jerks - from Golden Shower of Hits
In a sluggish economy
inflation, recession
hits the land of the free
standing in unemployment lines
blame the government
for hard times
we just get by
however we can
we all gotta duck
when the shit hits the fan
10 kids in a cadillac
stand in lines for welfare checks
let's all leach off the state
gee! the money is really great!
soup lines
free loaves of bread
5 lb blocks of cheese
bags of groceries
social security
has run out on you and me
we do whatever we can
gotta duck when the shit hits the fan
(as copied from the album sleeve - so they are accurate...)

RUN, COME, SEE JERUSALEM
Well it was nine[F]-teen hundred and twenty-nine (run, come, see)

I remember that day[C7] pretty well
Nine[F]-teen hun[F7]-dred and twen[Bb]-tynine
Run, come, see[F] Je-ru[C7]-sa-lem[F]
They were talk[F]-ing 'bout a storm on the island (run, come, see)
My god, what a beau[C7]-tiful morning
Talk[F]-ing 'bout a storm[F7] on the is[Bb]-land
There were three[F] sail leaving at the harbor (run, come, see)
They were the Eth[C7]-el and the Myrtle and Pretoria
Three[F] sail leav[F7]-ing at the har[Bb]-bor
Now the Eth[F]-el was bound for Fresh Creek (run, come, see)
With the ma[C7]-mas and the children on board
The Eth[F]-el was bound[F7] for Fresh[Bb] creek
And the Myr[F]-tle was bound for Staniel Quay (run, come, see)
The Myr[F]-tle was bound[F7] for Staniel[Bb] Quay
And Pre-tor[F]-ia was out on the ocean (run, come, see)

Rocking down on her beam[C7] in the swell
Pre-tor[F]-ia was out[F7] on the oc[Bb]-ean
My god, then a big[F] sea built up in the northwest (run, come, see)
And the captain come a run[C7]-ning for the tiller and a
big[F] sea built[F7] up in the north[Bb]-west
Then the first[F] sea hit the Pretoria (run, come, see)
And the mamas come a run[C7]-ning for their children and the
first[F] sea hit[F7] the Pre-tor[Bb]-ia
And the sailor go down[F]-ward for the bottom (run, come, see)
sail[F]-or go down[F7]-ward for the bot[Bb]-tom
Now George[F] Brown, he was the captain (run, come, see)

He shouts "Now chil[C7]-dren come pray"
George[F] Brown, he[F7] was the cap[Bb]-tain
He says come[F] now and witness your judgement (run, come, see)
And the women all a cry[C7]-ing for the Daniel-god
Come[F] now and wit[F7]-ness your judg[Bb]-ment
There were thir[F]-ty-three soul on the water (run, come, see)

My god, what a beau[C7]-tiful morning (slower here, to end)
Thir[F]-ty-three soul[F7] on the wat[Bb]-ter
This is the Clam Chowder version, as best I can remember, with much improved
lyrics. It helps to have someone sing the counterpoint (run, come, see), and
provide a beat.

Ok, I don't understand the words, and the tab is just a general idea of what
is going on.
Can anyone translate the lyrics? What language *is* it? (Gaellic? Celtic?)

A little Nash Rambler was following me about one third my size

The guy must have wanted to pass me up As he kept on tootin his horn
E Am E Am E Am - E - Am
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Am E Am E Am
Beep Beep * * Beep Beep * * His horn went Beep Beep Beep
Am E Am E Am E Am
I pushed my foot down to the floor to give the guy the shake
E Am E Am E Am
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind He still had on the brake
Dm E Am E Am
He must have thought his car had more guts As he kept on tootin his horn
E Am E Am E Am - E - Am
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Am E Am E Am E Am
My car went into passing gear and we took off with dust
E Am E Am E Am
Soon we were doin ninety must have left him in the dust
Dm E Am E Am
When I peeked in the mirror of my car I couldn't believe my eyes
E Am E
That little Nash Rambler was right behind
Am E Am - E - Am
You'd think that guy could fly
Am E Am E Am E Am
Now we're doin a hundred and twenty as fast as I could go
E Am E Am E Am
The Rambler pulls along side of me as if I were goin slow
Dm E Am E Am
The fellow rolled down his window and yelled for me to hear
Dm E Am E Dm C! E Am-E-Am-E-Am-E-Am
"Hey buddy how can I get this car out of second gear?"

Subject: CRD: Ain't Nobody's Business (Clapton, Bessie Smith, others)
A bunch of people were requesting this after EC's VH1 rehearsal show.
This is actually an older version -- EC changed around a bunch of the
lyrics and the structure a little bit, and I think I actually prefer the
original. His take is also half a step off of this (though I can't
remember if his is higher or lower).
Share and enjoy, as always.

AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins
[Bb] There ain't nothin' [D7] I can do, [Gm] nor nothin' I can [D7] say,
[G7] That folks don't [Dm7] cri[G7]ti[Cm]cize [G7] me.
[Cm] But I'm gonna [G7] do just as I [Cm] want to any[C]way,
[C7] I don't care if they all des[F#7]pise [F7] me.
[Bb] If I should [D7] take a notion

[Gm] To jump in[Eb]to the ocean,
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]
[Bb] Rather than [D7] persecute me,

[Gm] I choose that [Eb] you would shoot me,
[Bb] If I should [D7] get the feelin'

[Gm] To dance up[Eb]on the ceiling',
[Bb] If I let my [D7] best companion

[Gm] Drive me right in[Eb]to the canyon,
[Bb] After all the [D7] way to do [Gm] is do just as you [D7] please,
[G7] Regardless [Dm7] of [G7] their [Cm] talk[G7]in'
[Cm] Often times the [G7] ones that talk will get [Cm] down on their [C] knees,
[C7] And beg your pardon for their [F#7] squak[F7]in'. (sp?)
[Bb] If I dis[D7]like my lover

[Gm] And leave (him/her) [Eb] for another,
[Bb] If I go to [D7] church on Sunday,

[Gm] Then caba[Eb]ret on Monday,
[Bb] If my friend ain't [D7] got no money

[Gm] And I say, "Take [Eb] all mine honey,"
[Bb] If I lend (him/her) [D7] my last nickel

[Gm] And it leaves me [Eb] in a pickle,
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do.

From: mike@honet7.att.com
Someone requested the bass tab to Badge a while ago, and I finally got
around to typing it in. I've also added the words and the chords,
which might make the tab kind of hard to read. I'm not sure that this
format is useful, so if anyone wants just the tab, you can let me
know, and I'll mail off a copy.
This file has lines that are longer than 80 characters, so they wrap
on the screen. However, when printed out (at least on my printer),
they don't wrap. I also have a copy of this with lines less than 80
columns, so I can mail that out as well. (You can tell I had a busy
day at work yesterday :-)

Subject: Bell Bottom Blues Lick
OK, this is my first attempt at posting something, so I figured that I'd

start easy. This is the signature lick that Clapton does in Bell Bottom
Blues on the album "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs," by Derek and
the Dominos. There are actually three guitars in this song, one rhythm,
and two lead.
Guitar 1, rhythm:
F F G
E------------------------------------------------I
B----1--------------1---------3------------------I
G----2--------------2---------4------------------I
D----3--------------3---------5------------------I
A----3--------------3---------5------------------I
E----1--------------1---------3------------------I
Guitar 2, Lead 1:
E--13----------------------10--------------------I
B-----13-------11---------------11vib------------I
G------------------12^full-----------------------I
D------------------------------------------------I
A------------------------------------------------I
E------------------------------------------------I
Guitar 3, Lead 2:
E--13-13-------11--------------------------------I
B--13-13-------11----------13--------------------I
G------------------12^full&release(12)----(12)\--I <- Slide down
D------------------------------------------------I
A------------------------------------------------I
E------------------------------------------------I
And there it is. I don't have the time to post the solo now, but most
of it uses these notes, with a few others, along with pinch harmonics.
Good Luck with this great song. If you have questions, feel free to
e-mail me at cusim5c0@numen.elon.edu

BLACK ROSE by Troy Seals and Eddie Setser
Transcribed by Brian Davies (davies@ils.nwu.edu)
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] The dogs are [C] howling at the [G] midnight [C] moon. [G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] I'm on my [C] way to where the [G] black rose [C] blooms. [G] [C] [G] [C]
[C] The mountain's [Em/B] high, the [Am] night is [G/B] cold.
[C] I feel the [G/B] sunshine; a [D/A] black rose [G] grows.
To[G]gether again, we're as [C] common as sin, they say,

[D] We just walk around the stones they [G] throw.
[G] Night after night, [C] we steal away to where
[F] Love don't see no [C] colors in the [G] shadows,
[F] Love don't see no [C] colors in the [G] shadows.
[G] Wind in the [C] willows, [G] wild and [C] warm, [G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] Just like the [C] woman lying [G] here in my [C] arms. [G] [C] [G] [C]
[C] The water's [Em/B] deep, [Am] cold and [G/B] still.
[C] I love the [G/B] feeling that [D/A] black rose [G] gives.

Let's see -- I've been playing this for years. Great tune. You need
to really keep the bass line going. Play the verse in open position.
I go up the neck for the refrain, working my way back down and ending
in open position again. There are some nice little runs. If I get a
chance, I'll TAB some of them. This should all be in the TAB for the
"Crossroads" compilation, but I haven't laid out the bucks for that
yet.
I use dots to mark beats.

In fact I was the one who posted the original version of The Circus Left Town.
I only discovered my mistake when it was noted in the transcription below that
I had mixed up the G#7 and the F#7 chords. I have corrected the mistake in
the attached text. Apologies for the error. Enjoy the song.

Subject: Cocaine by Eric Clapton (was REQ)
I can do chords and lyrics. As far as tab goes, the solos are improvised
over the blues scale in E.
COCAINE by J. J. Cale
(the main riff is [E] [E] [D] [E], [E] [D] -- play that twice over each
line of the verses)
If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out, cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground, cocaine.
She don't [E] lie, she don't [D] lie, she don't [C] lie [B]
Cocaine!
If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues, cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run, cocaine.
Chorus
If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on, cocaine.

Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine.
Chorus

Back to the A pattern then it's just rock 'n roll from there on in, though
use the D7 pattern after the rock 'n roll E
Try using different variations on the chords to make it more interesting.

Such as going from an open E to an E7 plyed as a C7 shape at the fourth fret
but missing out the barre and hitting the top and bottom open strings.
Try the same with the A:- play it as an E shape at the 5th but miss out the
barre (don't hit the open B though). Mess around with it a bit, don't copy it
slavishly These are useful variations to add during the singing parts.
If you switch it to E, A7, B, these variations work pretty well.
Hey! what do I know anyway? I only play this stuff and it sounds ok to me!

of the single. Here it is, in all its glory.
DANNY BOY (traditional)

The B-Side of the "Change The World" single

For more of my transcriptions, check: http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~davies/
I didn't have room to mark all the hammer-ons and pull-offs explicitly, so
if you see something like 464, that's three separate notes, not one very
high one. The ~ denotes a fast hammer-on and pull-off (usually
sixteenth-note triplets).
Eric gets a great, very fluid tone by playing almost every node with a
glissando. I've only marked the most noticable slides.
There are a couple of times when Eric descends into a flurry of notes -- I
can play flurries that sound fine, but I'm not sure if I'm getting exactly
the same notes as the recording. Anyway, I've marked the two places where
this happens. My advice for these sections: play lots of notes. :)

Subject: CRD: Clapton's "Help Me Up"
An underappreciated gem off of the Rush soundtrack...
HELP ME UP by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings
[Em] [G] [Em] [G]
(If that Em sounds a little too dark to you, try 022x00 (E5?))
[Em] Are you going to help me [G] or will you let me down?
[Em] I'm looking for a true love [G] but am I lost or found?
[Em] And will we cry in passion [G] or will we cry in pain?
[Em] And will our lonely teardrops [G] fill the world with rain?
Help me [Em] up, [Bm] don't you let me [C] down. [Am]
I'm gonna [G] wake up in [C] heaven, not the [Am] cold, cold [G] ground.
[Em] [G] [Em] [G]
[Em] Can't you hear the lovers [G] crying in the night?
[Em] They spend their whole lives trying; [G] still can't get it right.
[Em] I don't know where we're going [G] but I guess we'll start
[Em] And just to show that I mean it, [G] baby here's my heart.
Chorus
(Walk it up hard on the bass: G G B B C C D D)
[D] Living on my [D#dim] feelings, [Em] feelings all I [G] know.

[C] Baby once we [D] touch it, we'll [C] never let it [G] go.
(I'm guessing on the D#dim -- he pulls something weird out of his hat,
and this sounds decent.)

I tabbed out the solo over the introduction; other than that, this is

From: umcrowhu@cc.umanitoba.ca (Jeremy Dean Crowhurst)
Holy Mother, from Eric Clapton's "August".
My source for this is the video "The Cream of Eric Clapton" which has a live
performance of this song, so it might be in a different key than the album
version, and it might be simpler.
(By the by, the people who made this video somehow managed to turn gold
into shit, overall, but this one song makes it almost worth the price of
admission. The playout solo is all closeup of EC's fingers on the fret-
board, so if you're a novice like me who isn't great at playing leads,
then this is a big help.)
The song is played with a capo on the 4th fret.
Intro (This is basically the picking pattern for the whole song.)

Holy Mother, where are you
Em D G
Tonight I feel broken in two
G C G
I've seen the stars fall from the sky
Em D G
Holy Mother, can't keep from crying
C G
Oh I need your help this time
Em D G
To get me through this lonely night
C G
Tell me please which way to turn
D G
By myself again
Holy Mother hear my prayer

Somehow I know you're still there {chords as verse I}
Send me please some peace of mind
Take away this pain
Bm G {I'm not really sure about}

I can't wait, I can't wait {this part... but it sounds}
C D {pretty close.}
I can't wait any longer
Bm G
I can't wait, I can't wait
C D
I can't wait for you.
Holy Mother, hear my cry
I've cursed your name a thousand times {chords as verse I}
I've felt the anger running through my soul
All I need is a hand to hold
Oh I feel the end is coming

No longer my legs will run {chords as verse II}
You know how to wrap me
In your arms tonight
When my hands can no longer play

My voice is still a fade away {chords as verse I}
Holy Mother, then I'll be
lying in, safe within your arms.
Comments, corrections, (and profuse thanks and encouragement) are

always welcome... flames ain't.

How [E] long, baby how [E7] long,

Has that [A] evening train been [A7] gone?
How [E] long, how how [B7] long, baby how [E] long? [E]
Went to the [E] station, didn't see no [E7] train.

Down in my [A] heart, I have an aching [A7] pain.
I feel dis[E]gusted, I feel so [E7] bad

Thinking 'bout the [A] good time that I once had [A7] had.

IT HURTS ME TOO by Mel London
Arranged by Elmore James

Rearranged by Eric Clapton
Transcribed by Brian Davies (comments to davies@ils.nwu.edu)
Clapton uses the following riff, pretty much note-for-note as the introduction
and both solos. If you're feeling really authentic, substitute a slide
for all the hammer-ons and pull-offs. The lyrics with chords follow...

Introduction
You said you was [C#] hurting, almost lost your mind,
And the man you [F#] love, he hurts you all the time.
When things go [C#] wrong, go wrong with [G#] you,
[F#] It hurts me, [C#] too. [G#]
You love him [C#] more when you should love him less.
I pick up be[F#]hind him and take his mess.
He love another [C#] woman and I love you,

But you love [F#] him and stick to him like glue.
Solo
Now you better [C#] leave him; he better put you down.
Oh, I won't [F#] stand to see you pushed around.

Subject: TAB: Lay Down Sally (Eric Clapton et al.)
I posted this recently, but it is improved in some points.

(Anyone tried to transpose the D-Bassline and chord two frets up
without breaking her/his fingers?)
Here we go (lyrics from vacs.uwp.edu):
LAY DOWN SALLY

(Eric Clapton, Marcy Levy & George Terry)
A
There is nothing that is wrong
D
in wanting you to stay here with me.
A
I know you've got somewhere to go
D
but won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
E
And don't you ever leave.
A D
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
E A
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
A D
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
E A
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
The sun ain't nearly on the rise

and we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies
love is all that matters, won't you stay with me?
I long to see the morning light

colouring your face so dre amily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
you can lay your worries down and stay with me.
Basic pattern:
It is possible to play it with the left thumb and middle finger and a
full A chord on the higher strings. They may be strummed occasionally.
The best way to play it is using a plectron and middle finger with the
right hand. Transpose the first two bars to D also. The bar 3 and 4
contain the catch phrase that is only played over A.

Here it is by popular demand. This is the main part played by the master
himself. There is a second part too, but you can get that out of this
part. This song is great! I hope you have fun with it too.

This is the basic structure for the verses and chorus. For the
instrumental part with the dobro solo, the chords go: G, D/F#, Em, Bm, A,
G, Em, Bm, F#, Bm, F#7, D/A, E/G#, G, A.
This part is sort of difficult to learn, but if you listen to the song it
should become clear eventually.
Hope this helps.

book covering all of the Crossroads box set (which I don't have) that I
know has this note for note. If you want the real thing, buy the book.

This is an old Barbecue Bob song that Clapton arranged and plays on
his "From the Cradle" album. I hope you like it.
The rhythem may not match up exactly but from it you can get a fair feel for
how the song is played. Just listen for the changes.
The guitar is a twelve string accoustic capoed at the 4th fret.
Tuning: Open G

I believe there is another 12-string part done by Andy Fairweather

Low, and a third normal 6-string accoustic part that kicks in
later. I believe that Andy is doubling Clapton in this piece.
Lyrics:
If I mistreat you girl,

Sure don't mean you no harm.
If I mistreat you girl,
I sure don't mean no harm.
Well I'm a motherless child,
I don't know right from wrong.
Please tell me pretty mama,

honey where did you stat last night?
Please tell me pretty mama,
honey, where did you stal last night?
Well, you didn't come home till the sun was shinning bright.
I have to go so far girl,

To get my hambones boiled [?]
Have to go so far girl,
To get my hambones boiled.
Well, he's had a lot of women,
gonna let my hambone burn.
Hell, I did more for you girl,

Than your daddy ever done.
Hell, I did more for you girl,
Than your daddy ever done.
Well, I give you my jewelry,
And he ain't give you none.
And when you see two women,

Always running hand in hand,
And when you see two women,
Always running hand in hand,
You can bet your bottom dollar,
One got the other one's man.
But I'm going to the river,

Get me a tangled rocking chair.
I'm going to the river,
Get me a tangled rocking chair.
And if the blues over take me,
Take me away from here.

Here's it! I hope I got the lyrics right! I'll post the .crd soon!
NEXT TIME YOU SEE HER
She got everything a man could ever ask for,

She is lovely, brighter than a morning star,
She's so beautiful, portrait of a sunset,
She got everything, including my old car.
R I: Next time you see her, tell her that I love her,
Next time you see her, tell her that I care,
Next time you see her, tell her that I love her,
Next time I see you, boy you better beware.
I'm just tryin' to warn you, (I think I got this part wrong,
That you're about to get her. it makes no sense!)
I couldn't leave her last love,
So how could you be her first.
I want to tell you buddy, things are about to get rough.

I think that she's only flerting, but I think that I've had enough.
R I:
R II: And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.

Cause no, no, nobody knows you

When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
When you finally get back up on your feet again

Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
When you finally get back upon your feet again,

Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange

PLEASE BE WITH ME- Eric Clapton

Oh my word what does it mean?
D G D
Is it love or is it me
Em
That makes me change so suddenly
Bm G D
Looking out feeling free
Sit here lying in my bed

Wondering what is was I'd said
Made me think I'd lost my head
When I know I'd lost my heart instead
CHORUS:
C G D Em
So won't you please read my signs be a gypsy
G D Em
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me
G D Bm G D
Because you can't know my mind please be with me
Of all the better things I've heard

Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seems so absurd
But in the end it all comes out I'm sure ...CHORUS

PROMISES-Eric Clapton
From album: BACKLESS and TIMEPIECES
(At '*' play F# note to walk up to the G chord, it simultes the

bass and it's the hook of the song, if you've heard it you will recognize it)

I don't care if you never come home
C G
I don't mind if you just keep on rolling away on a distant sea cause
D * G
G
The cause of commotion when you come to town
C
Give 'em a smile and they melt
G
And the lovers and friends are all good and fine,
D * G
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.
G C G D
G C G D
G
I don't care what you do at night and
C
I don't care how you get your delights,
G
I'll leave you alone, I'll just let it be
D * G
C Em/B
I've got a problem, can you relate,
Am G
I've got a woman callin' love hate
C Em/B
Even in doubt, We'll always be friends
Am G
How could we know that the promises end?
G C D
G C D
G
I try to love you for years upon years,

You refuse to take me for real

A while back, someone asked for the lyrics for the Clapton Unplugged
arrangement of this song. And, since I don't remember who it was, I
figured I'd just have to share it with the group.
To add some guitar content to the post:
The easy way to play the main riff is to alternate between G played
in E form on the 3rd fret (355433), and the same thing without the E
form -- 333333. (Technically, a Bb6/G&C, I guess.)
The riff goes something like:
G G Bb G G G Bb G

ROLLIN' & TUMBLIN' by McKinley Morganfield
Well, I woke up this morning; I best get rolling on.
Well, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.

Well, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
I want to tell you about the way they treated me.
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.

Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
When I woke up this morning, all I had was gone.

Subject: TAB: Eric Clapton - Signe (Update)
Hello lads and lasses, here's my version of Eric Clapton's Signe.

Actually this is an update of Geir Fuskeland's <geirf@ifi.uio.no>
version (thanks a lot for posting it!) which was already at OLGA
(I believe in Eric's directory in the file 'unplugged.tab').
To get the rhythm right, there's only one way: listen to the CD!
Any questions, comments, corrections etc. are -of course- welcome.
Have fun!
Here it is:

From: dotson@yerkes.uchicago.edu (Jessie Dotson)
I fingerpick it [2 beats per pattern]. There are a couple of places where a

chord only gets 1 beat - I usually just squeeze the chord [pluck the 4
strings I would've picked simultaneously].
Verse:
| A E/G# |F#m A| D A | E |
Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven
| A E/G# |F#m A| D A | E |
Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven
Chorus:
| F#m | C#/E# | Em | F# |
I must be strong and carry on
| Bm |E7sus E7 | A E/G# |
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
| F#m A | D E7sus E7| A |
Bridge:
| C G/B | Am D | G D | Em D G |
Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees
| C G/B | Am D | G D | E |
Time can break your heart Have you beggin please beggin please
There's more lyrics - but this'll give you the basic chord structure.
The |'s are my attempt at giving a mild sense of rhythym - there's
4 beats between |'s. G/B means a G chord with a B in the bass.
I finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape
with the thumb wrapped around to the 6th string. Like this:
C#/E# The E/G# is the same thing played at the

--X-X------ 4th fret
T | | 1 | 2
-----------
| | | | 3 |
Eric's version is of course full of little runs and such! I hope this
helps get you started!!!!!

Would you hold my hand, if I saw you in heaven

Would you help me stand, if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
`Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Bridge:

Instrumental of first two lines, then:
] F#m ] C#/E# ] Em ] F# ]
Beyond the door, there's peace for sure
and I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.
repeat 1st verse
Fingerpick it [2 beats per pattern].

There are a couple of places where achord
only gets 1 beat -Just squeeze the chord
pluck the 4 strings simultaneously.
Finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape

T ] ] 1 ] 2

] ] ] ] 3 ]
>Chorus:
>] F#m ] C#/E# ] Em ] F# ]
> I must be strong and carry on
The Em sounds much better if you add a C# with your pinky

(2nd fret at the B string)
==========================================================
Version 2
Below are my attempt to reproduce the two main riffs in Tears

of Heaven off Eric Clapton's unplugged album. There is really
only one figuring which is a reach which is the A to Esus2.
___________
]_]_]_]_]_]
]_]_1_1_1_1
]_]_]_]_]_]
2_]_]_3_]_]
] ] ] ] 4 ]
Play the A as a partial barre add other three fingers to construct the Esus2.

From: daishi@sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp (Daishi Harada)
solo guitar interpretation, so i added some notes probably where there

aren't any in the real song ... if you don't have a band behind you to
provide texture, you gotta make do :-)

No, it hasn't been released on an album; I don't even think that MTV
broadcast the whole thing. I know he played it in concert for a good
while after the Unplugged session, so it doesn't seem like he is trying
to keep it to himself.
I'm really not sure why some tracks made it onto Unplugged and others
didn't. He also played My Father's Eyes, another beautiful track about
his son, and the Maceo Merriweather song, Worried Life Blues. There are
a good number of bootlegs of the remaining material, including alternative
takes of about half of Unplugged. Based on the feedback from the folks
on the Slowhand list and the reports in "Where's Eric", a British fanzine,
the best one seems to be An Accoustic Tale.

Somebody posted this on one of the guitar newsgroups, I think. I've

reformatted it a little bit and deleted the header (so much for giving
credit where credit is due :( ), but this is the important stuff.

THE CIRCUS LEFT TOWN by Eric Clapton
(Amaj7 = x06650, Amaj7 [2] = x02120, C#m7 = x46454, Cdim = x3424x

has F#7 listed as 464544 = G#7)
[Amaj7] Little man with his [B/A] eyes on fire [Cdim]

And his smile so [C#m7] bright [B7]
[Amaj7] In his hands are the [B/A] toys you gave [Cdim]
That fill his heart with de[C#m7]light [B7]
[Amaj7] In a ring stands a [B/A] circus clown [Cdim]
Holding up a [C#m7] light [B7]
[Amaj7] What you see and [B/A] what you hear [Cdim]
Will last you the rest of your [C#m7] life [B7]
[Amaj7[2]] It's sad, so sad [B7]

[Cdim] There aint no easy way [C#m7] round [B7]
[Amaj7[2]] It's sad, so sad [F#7]
[Bmin7] All your friends gather [Amaj7] round
'Cause the [Dmaj7] circus left town [Amaj7]
Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night
When I smile I'll be thinking of you
And everything will be alright
The picking technique is 4 bar repeating cycle which for the most part
concentrates on the middle 4 strings, except when playing F#7. Each
vertical line represents one bar, each bar has 2 beats which are clearly
marked by the thumb and middle finger. The index finger only appears on
half beats.
Key: t = thumb
i = index finger
m = middle finger

THORN TREE IN THE GARDEN- Derek and the Dominos
Emaj7 F#m/E
There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean
Emaj7 F#m/E
And I hate to hurt your feelings but its not the way it seems
Emaj7 F#m/E Emaj7 F#m/E
'Cause I miss her
Emaj7 F#m/E
She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known
Emaj7 F#m/E
And no one ever shared more love than we've known
Emaj7 E7
And I miss her
A
But it all seems so strange to see
Emaj7
That she'd never turn her back on me
A B7 E7
And leave without a last goodbye
A
And if she winds up walking the streets
Emaj7
Loving every other man she meets
A B7
Who'll be the one to answer why?
Emaj7 E7 A Am E
Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me
Emaj7 F#m/E
And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand
Emaj7 F#m/E
And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand
Emaj7 E7 A Am E Emaj7
But I miss that girl I still miss that girl
A Am E Emaj7 A Am E
Maybe someday soon, someway
Emaj7: 0 2 2 4 4 4
F#m/E: 0 4 4 2 2 2
NOTE: Obviously, there are two guitars playing. The other one is
hitting the same four harmonics over and over.
(from Layla, 1970)

SIGNE -Eric Clapton (Unplugged)

The hard part of this song is to get the timing right.
Start by playing the chords only when listening to the CD.
Then, add the bass notes, and finally the hammer-on's and pull-off's.
I don't remember the exact order of the parts, but you'll find out.

Before You Accuse Me

(Obvously a 12 bar blues in E )
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself

You say I've been spending my money on other women
You been taking money from someone else
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago

I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
Well your mother said "Son"
"Don't call my daughter no more"

Come back home baby, try my love one more time

Come back home baby, try my love one more time
If I don't go on and quit you
I'm gonna lose my mind

========================================================================
Hey hey - Eric Clapton (Unplugged)
This is the 12-bar blues pattern that repeats all through the song.
I don't think it's all correct, but it sounds pretty good to me.
The vocal part follows the same pattern, only simpler.

(basically just the bass string and small fill-ins)
This is not to hard to figure out if you listen to the CD

Version 1
Tears In Heaven
by Eric Clapton
Verse:
] A E/G# ]F#m A] D A ] E ]
] A E/G# ]F#m A] D A ] E ]
] F#m ] C#/E# ] Em ] F# ]
Would you hold my hand, if I saw you in heaven

Would you help me stand, if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
`Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Bridge:
] C G/B ] Am D ] G D ] Em D G ]
] C G/B ] Am D ] G D ] E ]
Instrumental of first two lines, then:
] F#m ] C#/E# ] Em ] F# ]
Beyond the door, there's peace for sure
and I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.
repeat 1st verse
Fingerpick it [2 beats per pattern]. There are a couple of places where achord
only gets 1 beat -Just squeeze the chord pluck the 4 strings simultaneously.
Finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape

T ] ] 1 ] 2
-----------
] ] ] ] 3 ]
>Chorus:
>] F#m ] C#/E# ] Em ] F# ]
> I must be strong and carry on
The Em sounds much better if you add a C# with your pinky
(2nd fret at the B string)
==========================================================
Version 2
Below are my attempt to reproduce the two main riffs in Tears

of Heaven off Eric Clapton's unplugged album. There is really
only one figuring which is a reach which is the A to Esus2.
___________
]_]_]_]_]_]
]_]_1_1_1_1
]_]_]_]_]_]
2_]_]_3_]_]
] ] ] ] 4 ]
Play the A as a partial barre add other three fingers to construct the Esus2.

This is the basic lick. Note that there's no pick

involved and all bass stuff (Low E and A strings) is
done with the thumb, and all other stuff is either picked
simultaneously with the fingers, or down strummed with
the fingernails. (Not all the notes are here - it's
strickly a feel thing, and I had no idea someone would
ever request this song - I thought I was the only one
who loved this song, so I came to work unprepared.)
First verse:
E F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 G#m7 F#m7 B A

I must be, invisi--ble. No one knows me.
E F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 D A E

I have crawled down dead-end streets on my hands and knees.
On E here, go to "intro-lick", twice.
Second verse:
I was born with a raging thirst, Hunger to be free
But I've learned thru the years, Don't encourage me
On E here, go to "intro-lick" ONCE and then right to

Chorus:
E F#m7 B C#m7

Third Verse
When I walk, stay behind.Don't get close to me.
Cause it's sure to end in tears. So let me leave
4th Verse
Some will say I may agree take a look then walk away
Cause thats alright with me
Chorus:
*** On E here, "intro-lick" again, this time 4 times I don't know.
(I'm getting tired, so briefly, it's 2 more verses just the
same as before, and then the same chorus, followed by - you
guessed it - the "intro-lick" out to the end, which, I believe,
is solo'd over using the E minor pentatonic scale, but, knowing
EC, he probably uses some "tasty" notes along the way.)

Nobody Loves You When You're Down & Out Jimmy Cox.
C E7 A7
Once I lived a life of a millionaire,
Dm A7 Dm
Spend all my money, didn't have any care.
F F#Ê C/G A7
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time,
D7 G7
We bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,

Lost all my good friend, and nowhere to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'll hang on to it 'til that ol' eagle grins
Because nobody loves you,

When you're down and out,
In your pocket not one penny,
And as for friends you don't have many.
When you get back on your feet again,

Everybody wants to be your long lost friend.
I said it's strange without any doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

I got the blues from my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
F C C7
(Where) the ocean liners, they aren't so far away.
F C run1 A
I didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had,
D G7
Said goodbye, had to take a cry (?), I wanna lay down and die.
C F C C7
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
F E7
If she don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my mind.
F C fill1 A
If I ever get back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day,
D G7 C G7
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
(Sweet harmonica & kazoo solos :)
Sittin' down lookin' from my back door, wondrin' which way to go,
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more.
Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feelin' blue,
I'll ride all the way to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you.
Meanwhile, livin' in the city, thinkin' I'll go insane,

Thought I heard my baby's voice, the way she used to call my name.
If I ever get back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day,
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, hey hey,
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
Yeah, walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

WATCH OUT FOR LUCY by Eric Clapton
[A] [C#7] [F#m] [D]

[A] [E7] [A] [E7]
Now [A] my friend Bill was just a [D] working lad

And he [C#] liked to have his [D] fun.
He'd like to [A] find a girl and get [E] comfortable
When his [D] working day was [E7] done.
He would [F#m] spend all his money on a [C#7] Friday night,

[D] Wake up in the morning [A] broke,
But he [F#m] had a run in with little [C#7] Lucy then;
Be[D]lieve me that ain't no [E7] joke.
[A] Watch [C#7] out for [F#m] Lucy, [D]

[A] Though she [C#7] may look [F#m] frail. [D]
Said, "Ex[A]cuse me, [C#7] Lucy,
[F#m] Darling don't you [D] use me;
[A] I don't want to [E7] land in [A] jail."
[A] [C#7] [F#m] [D]

[A] [E7] [A] [E7]
She [A] started out working in a [D] cafe,

Picking [C#] money up on the [D] side.
She was [A] free and easy, [E] everybody's friend,
But she [D] couldn't be satis[E7]fied.
So now [F#m] in walks Bill with his [C#7] cash in his hand,
His [D] heart upon his [A] sleeve.
We [F#m] tried to warn him a[C#7]bout her ways,
We [D] never did suc[E7]ceed.
Chorus
[A] [C#7] [F#m] [D]

[A] [E7] [A] [E7]
Well, the [A] trap was sprung for [D] poor old Bill;
You should have [C#] heard little Lucy [D] sing
"I want a [A] Cadillac car, a [E] beautiful home,
And a [D] thousand dollar [E7] ring."
They [F#m] found our hero in the [C#7] gutter

With a [D] diamond ring and a [A] gun.
He'd [F#m] done it for the love of [C#7] Lucy
And [D] ended up on the [E7] run.
Chorus

Repeat main riff twice for each line of the verses:

[D] [D] [C] [C] [G/B] [G/B] [Bb] [C]
In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.
I'll [C] wait in this [G] place where the [Bb] sun never [A] shines;
[C] Wait in this [G] place where the [Bb] shadows [C] run from [D] themselves.
You said no strings could secure you at the station.

Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.
I'll [C] wait in the [G] queue when the [Bb] trains come [A] back;
[C] Lie with [G] you where the [Bb] shadows [C] run from [D] themselves.
[Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]

[Gm] [F] [Dm] [C] [Am7]
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.

Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
I'll [C] sleep in this [G] place with the [Bb] lonely [A] crowd;

Got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie

He can walk and stroll and Suzy-Q

Do the crazy hand jive too
Momma momma look at uncle Joe

Doin' the hand jive with sister Flo
Uncle gave sister a dime
Do the hand jive one more time
CHORUS:
C G D G
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, do that crazy jive
Doctor, a lawyer and an Indian chief

They all dig that crazy beat
Way Out Willie give 'em all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet... CHORUS
Willie and Millie got married last fall

They had a little Willie Junior and that ain't all
The kid's got crazy and it's plain to see
He's doin' the hand jive on T.V. ... CHORUS
NOTE: The important thing to this song is the Bo Diddley rhythm. I have
no idea how to explain it- listen to the record!

G D/F#
It's late in the evening
C D
She's wondering what clothes to wear

She puts on her make up

And brushes her long blonde hair
C D
And then she asks me
G Bm/F# Em
Do I look alright
C D G D/F# C D
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
G D/F#
We go a party
C D
And everyone turns to see
G D/F#
This beautiful lady
C D
That's walking around with me
C D
And then she asks me
G Bm/F# Em
Do you feel alright
C D G
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
C
I feel wonderful
D G Bm/F# Em
Because I see the love light in your eyes
C D
And the wonder of it all
C D
Is that you just don't realize
G D/F# C D G D/F# C D
How much I love you
G D/F#
It's time to go home now
C D
And I've got an aching head
G D/F#
So I give her the car keys
C D
She helps me to bed
C D
And then I tell her
G Bm/F# Em
As I turn out the light
C D G Bm/F# Em Em/D
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
C D G D/F# C D G D/F# C D G
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

There were a few replies to me for the tab of Wonderful Tonight, so I typed it up
last night, and I figured I might as well post it.
The following is MY rendition of Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight's guitar

solos/licks as it almost is on the 24 Nights album. See my post of the chords
for this song to see where these things go. Note values(durations) were not
included, because I can't figure them out. I just go by feel, and I suggest
people listen to the tape/cd and determine how this should sound (and make the
appropriate modifications as necessary).

ANNIE
words and music by Lane-Lambert-Clapton

From the townshend/lane album ÒRough MixÓ
IÕm pretty confident about most of this. Its the first time I have ever
transcribed by ear an entire song, but i am only 35. I have already written
one new song since learning this rather subtle but pretty chord grouping.
Sorry about the way some of the chord changes don't line up correctly. I
pasted this in from my wordprocessor and it looks a bit funny. If you
listen to the track on the album, you'll get it.
Intro: ASection format

D A Bm A F#m A D A G D
In the B Section I brush over the A chord on the way back to Bm

(a quick skippy thing)
ASection 1
D A Bm A F#m A D
Old oaks stand tall Annie, seen the world grow small Annie
D A G D
But when they fall Annie, where will we be?
ASection 2
D A Bm A F#m A D
Winter has come Annie, No strength in the sun, Annie
D A G D
And when itÕs gone Annie, where shall we be?
Bsection 1
Bm F#m/A Bm F#m/A
When all the colors have faded, when ole Jack comes to call
Bm F#m
DonÕt tell emÕ no tell emÕ maybe
G D G D
Oh Annie God bless us all, Oh yes Annie, God bless us all
Instrumental A Section
A Section 3
D A Bm A F#m A D
And then children will call Annie, Every leaf must fall, Annie
D A G D
God Bless us all Annie wherever weÕll be.
B Section (repeat end of bsection (G&D) then go to ASection and Fade...

Desperados Waitin' For a Train Guy Clark
C F C Bb
I played the Red River Valley
G Am
He'd sit in the kitchen and cry
F C Em Am
Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
F G G7
"I wonder, Lord, has every well I've drilled gone dry?"
G C
We were friends, me and this old man
Am F
Like two desperados waitin' for a train
Am F G G7
Two desperados waitin' for a train
He was a drifter, a driller of oil wells

A teacher, a schoolman of the world
Taught me how to drive his car when he was too drunk to
He'd wink and give me money for the girls
And our lives were like, well, some old Western movie
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Yeah, from the time that I could walk he'd take me with him
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
Where old men with beer guts and dominoes
Would lie about their lives while they played
And I was just a kid, they all called me "Sidekick"
Just like desperados waitin' for a train
Well, one day I looked up and he's pushin' eighty

Brown tobacco stains all down his chin
To me he was a hero of this country
So what's he doin' all dressed up like them old men
Just drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-two
We were desperados waitin' for a train
Desperados waitin' for a train
The day before he died I went to see him

I was grown, he, almost gone.
But we closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
And sang one more verse to that old song
(spoken) Come on, Jack, that son-of-a-bitch is comin'
Desperados waitin' for a train

Desperados waitin' for a train.

Here are the words and chords to Homegrown Tomatoes:
Chorus:
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes,

What'd life be without home grown Tomatoes,
There's only two things that money can't buy:
Two love and home grown tomatoes.
1. There's nothin' in the world that I like better than

Bacon, lettuce and home grown tomatoes
Up in the morning and out in the garden
Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un.
Plant 'em in the springtime eat 'em in the summer,
All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer.
I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin
Every time I go out and pick me a big'un.
CHORUS
2.
You can go out and eat'em that's for sure,
But there's nothin a home grown tomato won't cure
You can put em in a salad, put em in a stew
You can make your own, your very own tomato juice
You can eat em with eggs, you can eat em with gravy
You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy
Put em on the side, put em on the middle
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
CHORUS
3.
If I could change this life I lead,
You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed
I know what this country needs,
It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetery
Out in the garden would be much better
Where I could be pushin up those home grown tomatoes.
CHORUS
<WILD APPLAUSE>
This isNOT a complex song. In any key, the chords are: I - IV - V7 - I

(e.g., in the key of G, chords are G - C - D7 - G).
CHORUS:
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,

I -
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
IV -
There's only two things that money can't buy:
V7
True love and homegrown tomatoes.
I
1.
There's nothin in the world that I like better

I
Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
IV
Up in the morning out in the garden
V7
Pick you a ripe one, don't bet a hard 'un
I
Plant em in the springtime, eat em in the summer
I
All winter without em's a culinary bummer
IV
I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin
V7
Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un
I
CHORUS
2. You can go out and eat em, that's for sure
But there's nothin a home grown tomato won't cure
Put em in a salad, put em in a stew
You can make your own, your very own tomato juice
You can eat em with eggs, you can eat em with gravy
You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy
Put em on the side, put em in the middle
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
CHORUS
3. If I could change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed
I know what this country needs
It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see.
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetery
Out in the garden would be much better
Where I could be a pushin' up the home grown tomatoes.

Good luck and have fun.

Let Him Roll

By Guy Clark
From Old No. 1
Submitted by David Byboth
davidb@efficient.com
C
He's a wino, tried and true
F
Done about everything there is to do
G
He worked on freighters, he worked in bars
C G
He worked on farms, 'n he worked on cars
It was white port, that put that look in his eye

That grown men get when they need to cry
And he sat down on the curb to rest
And his head just fell down on his chest
He said "Every single day it gets

A little bit harder to handle and yet..."
And he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered
And the words just rolled off down in the gutter
Well he was elevator man in a cheap hotel

In exchange for the rent on a one room cell
He's old in years beyond his time
Thanks to the world, and the white Port wine
And he said "Son", he always called me son

He said, "Life for you has just begun"
And he told me a story that I heard before
How he fell in love with a Dallas whore
Well he could cut through the years to the very night

When it ended, in a whore house fight
And she turned his last proposal down
In favor of being a girl about town
It's been seventeen years right in line

And he ain't been straight none of the time
Been too many days of fightin' the weather
And too many nights of not being together
So he died........ (guitar for one verse)
Well when they went through his personal affects

In among the stubs from the welfare checks
Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door
An address in Dallas, and nothin' more
The welfare people provided the priest

A couple from the mission down the street
Sang Amasing Grace, and no one cried
'Cept some woman in black way off to the side
We all left and she was standing there

Black veil covering her silver hair
And One-Eyed John said her name was Alice
And she used to be a whore in Dallas
Sing:
C F
Let him roll, Lord let him roll
G C G
Bet he's gone to Dallas Rest his soul
C F
Let him roll, Lord let him roll
G
He always said that heaven
C G
Was just a Dallas Whore....
Here is the tab for the finger pick as simplified as I could get
it. I believe you have to capo up 2 frets to play with the
album. I haven't played with the album on this song in a long
time so I'm not certain. There are 16 dashes to each measure
so timing is somewhat represented.
I have tabbed two stanzas of the pick. It continues the same way
throughout the song. During the guitar solo, emphasize the
melody on the high strings. If anyone tries to learn this from
the tab, I would appreciate any feedback you can give me on how
useable it was as it took me a while to figure out from the
album. If you learn this song, the Randall Knife is very
similar.
NOTE: The "h" above the staff means hammer the note directly
below it.

Lyrics
1.
When the first car hit the wall
Was the gulit still in or head?
In your magic crystal ball
Is the poweer that made you mad
You can't save yourself, it's a pleasure cruise

You're damned for a million years
2.
There's a viper in your bedroom
Under the sheets is tarantula fuzz
When she bites, she bites for murder
I bleed the Addams Family blood
There's a spell on me that I can't reverse

It's a sympathy cross you burn
Chorus
Cure me.. Or Kill me..

But don't leave me here for dead
Again
Cure me.. Or Kill me..
But don't leave me here for dead
Again
3.
This is your last happy Christmas
Your worst Birthday party
The cyanide in your poison ring
Wouldn't cure my misery
Don't bury me when I'm history

I think you'll find an easy way out

Subject: TAB:"Madeline" by The Clarks
Regardless of who else heard this song, I heard it and I loved it. This file
represents my best attempt at transcribing it. Corrections, comments or
questions are welcome at meunier.1@osu.edu
"Madeline"(Blasey,James,Joseph,Minarik)
Performed by The Clarks on "Love Gone Sour Suspicion and Bad Debt"(1994)
Guitar part transcribed here performed on the album by Scott Blasey and
Robert James
Lyrics by Blasey
Transcribed by Bryson Meunier

That riff is played twice before the vocals and the second guitar are
added. Guitar one and guitar two work together in this fashion:
guitar 1(clean electric)-

E--------------------2-2-2-----------------------------|
B--------------------3-3-3----------2------------------|
G--------------------2-2-2-----4----2------------------|
D----2h4--x--------------------4----2------------------|

B--------------------3---------3----------------5------|
G--------------------4---------0-----------------------|
D--------------------4---------0-----------------------|
A--------------------2---------2----0------------------|
E------------------------------3-----------------------|
The lyrics that go overtop of this part go like this:
Madeline flows like a summer stream

She talks with her eyes she moves in a dream
Sincerity grows in a pasture of green
Madeline flows
At this point guitar 2 plays something like this:

E----------------3p2------0------------0---------------|
B------------3---------------3------------3------------|
G-------------------------------0------------0---------|
D-------2--------------------------0-------------------|
A---0--------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------------|
After that part, guitar one plays the same riff as in the first
verse,while guitar 2 plays something different. The two guitars work
together like this:
guitar 1-
E--------------------2-2-2-----------------------------|
B--------------------3-3-3-----------2-----------------|
G--------------------2-2-2------4----2-----------------|
D----2h4--x---------------------4----2-----------------|

E-------------0----------------------------------------|
The lyrics for this part go like this:
Abigail flies on a silver wing

She might let me go she might let me sing
Prosperity lies in a mountain of things
Abigail flies(fill 1)
This next part I'm not exactly sure of. Generally,though, the chords
sound like this:
chorus-
Em D A
And when you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she
G D Em C6
crosses her legs she winks to let you know I only like to observe
D Dadd9 D
I don't profess to know
chords used:
Em D A G C6 Dadd9
E---------2---------3-----3------0-------|
B---------3----2----3-----1------3-------|
G---------2----2----0-----2------2-------|
D---2----------2----0-----2--------------|
A---2---------------2--------------------|
E---0---------------3--------------------|
I'm pretty sure that the corresponding barre chords are played along
with these open chords except on a guitar with a distorted tone. I'm not
positive though, unfortunately.
The next two verses have the same sequence as the first two.
(rhy.fig.1 and rhy.fig.2)
Kira comes on like the morning sun

She opens her eyes she looks out for fun
Affinity flies through a canyon of one
Kira comes on(fill 1)
(rhy.fig.1 and rhy.fig.3)
Tabatha walks in the pouring rain

She closes her eyes to block out the pain
Disparity flows in a river of shame
Tabatha walks(fill 1)
If I remember correctly, at this point the "And when you find her..." part
is repeated with the same lyrics and chord progression. The only difference
comes afterwards, during the "And in the garden of blue..." part. At that
point, guitar 2 does something like this:
(fill 2)
guitar 2- C D
And in the garden of blue she's coming

I transcribed the solo as well as I could. Some,all, or none of it may be

right. It does sound right though...at least to me. If you disagree, you
know where to find me. Anyway, this is what I came up with. You'll probably
want to flip the pickup switch to the top position. Experiment with the tone
until you find something that you're comfortable with.
(rhy.figs 1&2 played underneath)

E------------------------------------------------------|
At this point guitar 3 ends the solo with very subtle controlled feedback. I
didn't bother to tab it but if I remember correctly it just jumps from note
to note along the D string on the 17th, 15th and 14th frets(or around there
somewhere). If you listen in the background you should be able to hear it
but it's not really an essential part of the song.
The rest of the song goes like this:
chorus(same chord progression)-
And when you find her tell her that you mind the way that she crosses her
heart and says I hope to die. I guess I'll never know you I guess I'll never
know why.
(w/fill 2)
And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling's
true. Oh Madeline I never knew what you were going through.
That's it. Have fun with it and write me if you have any questions.

He just loved to live that way

Some is rich, and some is poor

That's the way the world is

But I don't believe in lying back
C D G
Sayin' how bad your luck is
So we came to jazz it up
We never loved a shovel
Break your back to earn your pay
An' don't forget to grovel
The old man spoke up in a bar

Said I never been in prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prison
Imagine if all the boys in jail

Could get out now together
Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?
While we was being clever
Someday you'll meet your rocking chair

Cos that's where we're spinning
There's no point to wanna comb your hair
When it's grey and thinning
Run rabbit run

Strike out boys, for the hills
I can find that hole in the wall
And I know that they never will

Subject: CRD (need LYR help): Clash, "Death or Glory"
Well, the chords were easy enough to figure out, but there's this
half-spoken part between the second and third verses to which I can't make
head or tail of the lyrics. Anyone have them?
I've put the chord changes in the chorus on the beat, but they're
actually slightly off. If you listen to the song it should be easy enough
to figure out where they go.
Not being British, I've substituted "boy" for "yob" in verse 2.

DEATH OR GLORY
The Clash
INTRO (quiet/acoustic): D A G D D A G D
(then loud/electric): G D A D G D A D
D A
Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
G D A
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
D A
Love and hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
G D A
Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how
G D A D
CHORUS: Death or glory becomes just another story
G D A D
Death or glory becomes just another story
Now every gimmick-hungry boy digging gold from rock-n-roll

Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this and it's been tested by research
He who fucks nuns will later join the church
CHORUS
BRIDGE: I think the chords are just D A G D, but does anyone have the
lyrics?
CHORUS
In every dingy basement on every dingy street

Every dragging handclap over every dragging beat
It's just the beat of time, the beat that must go on
If you've been trying for years, we already heard your song
CHORUS
D A G D (throughout)
BRIDGE: We're gonna march a long way, we're gonna travel a long time
We're gonna travel over mountains, we're gonna travel over seas
We're gonna fight you brother, we're gonna fight 'til you lose
We're gonna raise trouble, we're gonna raise hell
We're gonna fight you brother, we're gonna raise hell

The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
The immigrants an' remnants of all the glory years

Are clustered around the bar again for another round of beers
Little Richard's in the kitchen playing spoons and plates
He's telling the waitress he's great
Ah say I know somewhere back'n'forth in time

Out on the dustbowls, deep in the roulette mine
Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday
There's a move into the future for the U.S.A.
I hear them crying

Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
Both say they needed something new
CHORUS
C Em Em Am Am F F
C Em Em Am Am F F

Standing at the gates of the West
In the shadow again
Standing at the gates of the West
In the shadow again

This repeats four times, then back to the intro riff. If this
doesn't sound right let me know. Also, there is a second guitar
that sounds like its running a counter melody, so if anyone can
figure that out, please post.
I am also willing to post some other Clash songs by request to

anyone willing to make similar posts themselves. I have a Clash
songbook with the following songs (just the chords):
Off of album The Clash:

o I'm So Bored with the U.S.A.
o White Man in Hammersmith Palais
o Career Opportunities
Off of album Give 'Em Enough Rope:

o Guns on the Roof
o Safe European Home
Off of album London Calling:

o Hateful
o I'm Not Down
o London Calling
o Lover's Rock
o Spanish Bombs
o Train in Vain
Off of album Sandinista!:

o Charlie Don't Surf
o Corner Soul
o Hitsville U.K.
o Ivan Meets G.I.Joe
o Kingston Advice
o The Magnificent Seven
o One More Time
o Rebel Waltz
o Somebody Got Murdered
o Something About England
o Up In Heaven (Not Only Here)
o Version City
o Washington Bullets
Off of Combat Rock:

o Straight to Hell
o Should I Stay or Should I Go
o Rock the Casbah
...although I won't be particularly eager to post those last two
songs. Make me an offer, though. I'm still looking for many
of the earlier Clash songs, as well as anything by the Jam, Stiff

Now I ain't got no more money
All of my good friends are putting me down

Then back to the beginning. Basically, these are all sticcato quarter notes,
which means they are quarter notes that are slightly abbreviated for those
who don't know. The chorus has a different rhythm, and it sounds as if it's
in a shuffle rhythm. So there are your chords.

I play this one differently from the posting at

London calling to the faraway towns

Now that war is declared and battle come down
Em Am7
London calling to the underworld
Em G
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
Em Am7
London calling, now don't look to us
Em G
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
Em Am7
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Em G
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Em G
Meltdown expected the wheat is growing thin
Em G
Engines stop running but I have no fear
Em Em7 D
Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river
Em Am7
London calling to the imitation zone

Forget it brother, you can got it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you noddin' out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in

Engines stop running the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error but I have no fear
Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river
Now get this
London calling, yes I was there too

An' you know what they said - well some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
An' after all this, won't you give me a smile?
Em
I never felt so much a' like...

Could someone tell me what the intro line of "Police on My Back" off of
"Sandanista!" is? As near as I can tell, it's
E------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--3---3---3---3---3---3-------------------------------------------------

D------------------------------------------------------------------------

E------------------------------------------------------------------------
but that doesn't sound right to me. Not siren-like enough. Am I just using
the wrong kind of distortion, or am I hitting the wrong notes? And, because
I started this mess, I'll finish it by adding the chords...
D
Well, I'm running
G
Police on my back
D
Can you help me?
G
Police on my back
D
I am hiding
G
Police on my back
D
They were shooting
G
Police on my back

I've been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
A
Running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
G

D G
What have I done?
D G
What have I done?
(back to verse with other words)
Words are probably wrong, so if someone could post those, that would also be
neat:). And the bassline would be awesome, since Paul Simonon is blasting
away. And what about "White Riot" (which is just A, D, and E, but the bassline
is wicked awesome) ?
Let's also see if someone hasn't figured out Richard Lloyd's brilliant solos
in Matthew Sweet's "Divine Intervention" (I can give someone the rhythm part
if they really want it), "I've Been Waiting" (can someone post the whole
song?), and "Evangeline," which is fairly easy except for that damn brilliant
solo.

Now, the king told the boogie men,

you have to let that raga drop.

The oil down the desert way

The sheik he drove his cadillac
G7 Dm7
he went a cruisin down the ville.

The Muezzin was a standing

On the radiator grille.

Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah.
Dm7 A7 G7
Shareef don't like it.
Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 A7

Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah.
By order of the prophet

We ban that boogie sound.
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound.
But the Bedouin, they brought out the electric camel drum.
The local guitar picker got his guitar picking thumb.
As soon as the Shareef had cleared the square,
They began to wail.
Chorus
Now over at the temple

Oh, they really pack em in.
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing.
But as the wind changed direction
and the temple band took five
The crowd got a whiff
Of that crazy casbah jive.
Chorus
The king called up his jet fighters,

He said, you better earn your pay.
Drop your bombs down between the minarets
Down the casbah way.
As sson as the Shareef was chauffered out of there,
The jet pilote tuned to the cockpit radio blare.
As soon as the Shareef was outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed.
Chorus to extro.

1+, 2+, 3+ are played during the fast part. The D and the G are done as open
chords, for the G just play open the D, G and B strings. The C and Bb of 2 and
2+ I play them only on 2 strings with distorsion. For example the C is played
on the D and G strings, 5th position, the Bb on the same strings, 3rd
position. The A is played as an open chord.

Somebody Got Murdered

The Clash
Album: Sandinista
Lyrics c/o uwp
Chords: It sounds like there are two guitars and they

mix up the fingering from lower to higher. Here are
the two positions where they alternate.
E C#m A F#m B
-4-0-----4----5-0----5-2---2------------------------
-5-0-----5----5-2----7-2---4------------------------
-4-1-----6----6-2----6-2---4------------------------
-6-2-----6----7-2------4---4-----------------------
---2-----4----7-0------4---2----------------------
---0----------5--------2----------------------
Intro: The song starts with a muffled barred E keeping beat

with the snare. Then, the other guitar comes in with:
repeat
--7---5---4-----------5--4-----7--5--4------
--5-----------5-------5-----5-----------5---
--4-------------------4---------------------
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Then they get into heavy chords as follows:
(played in the higher position sounds best)
E C#m A
E F#m A
Verses:
E A E
Someone lights a cigarette
A E F#m
While riding in a car
E A E
Some ol' guy takes a swig
A E F#m
And passes back the jar
B A E
But where they were last night
A E F#m
No-one can remember
C#m A
Somebody got murdered
B E
Goodbye, for keeps, forever
E C#m A
E F#m A
Somebody's dead forever
And you're minding your own business

Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same
I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill

His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground
As the daily crown disperse
No-one says that much
And it' left me with a touch

Somebody's dead forever
/*
Now play the intro riff above these words:
*/
Sounds like murder!

Those shouts!
Are they drunk down below?
It's late, and my watch stopped

Some time ago
Sounds like murder!
Those screams!
Are they drunk down below?

>Spanish Bombs (Jones/Strummer)
Thanks to Fred for these great chords. This song works really well
when you play them in as open a position as possible. The only tricky
one is the C#m/E, which sounds best fingured as (x-x-2-1-2-0). The regular
C#m is the usual (x-4-6-6-5-4).
Also, here's the intro, which is repeated during the later verses:

Spanish weeks in my disco casino

The freedom fighters died up on the hill
They sang the red flag, they wore th black one
But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill
Back home the buses went up in flashes
The Irish tomb was drenched in blood
Spanish bombs shatter the hotel
My senorita's nose was nipped in the bud
Chorus
The hillsides ring with,"Free the people"

Or can I hear the echoes from the days of '39?
With trenches full of poets, the ragged armies
Fixin' bayonets, to fight the other line
Spanish bombs rock the province
I'm hearing music from another time
Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava
I'm flying in on a DC-10 tonight
Chorus :add at end...

Any hemisphere
No man's land and there ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived round here

PS: Good job on the chords, but I think that C9 should be Bbdim7.
-------
I believe this to be mostly correct. Use a root 5 barre chord form

for the Em7 & Fm7 and a root 6 barre chord form for A13, Bb13,
Bbdim7, and Bdim7. Corrections are welcomed.

1. Un petit vieillard chantait mal

Dans une chorale de rue

Une mechante vieille jaune et sale
D7 G7
A coups de coude tapait dessus

Les passants etaient bizarres

Et le petit vieillard chantait mal
D7 G7 C
De plus en plus mal
D7 F
Le petit vieillard chantait mal \
D9 G7 C > 4x
De plus en plus mal /
2. C'etait comme un bon animal

Un chien fidele, un vieux cheval
Les gargouilles le connaissaient
Et en secret lui souriaient
On leur dit de quitter la gare
De ne plus marcher au hasard
D'abandonner la cathedrale
Et de dissoudre la chorale
Car le petit vieillard chantait mal
De plus en plus mal
3. Un petit vieillard chantait mal

Dans une drole de chorale
Une mechante vieille jaune et sale
Mendiait devant la cathedrale
Quand le petit vieillard s'est tu
Les anges ont disparu
On dit qu'ils sont partis au ciel
Pour amener a l'Eternel
Ce petit vieillard qui chantait mal
De plus en plus mal

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost

As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survived because of my pride
CHORUS:

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
C G
It's such a drag to be on your own
C G G/F#m Em
My woman left and she didn't say why

But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

SITTING IN LIMBO- Jimmy Cliff

Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long
A E
Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song

Well, they're putting up resistance
A B E
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the dice to roll

Sitting here in limbo, have some time to search my soul
CHORUS #1:

I don't know where life will lead me

But I know where I've been
A E
I can't say what life will show me
A E
But I know what I've seen
B C#m
Tried my hand at love and friendship
B C#m
But all that is past and gone
A B
This little boy is moving on
Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the tide to flow

Sitting here in limbo, knowing that I have to go
CHORUS #2:
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
I can't say where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is past and gone
This little boy is moving on
REPEAT THIRD VERSE

Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo, etc...
NOTE: The song sounds better if you add these variations to E:

0 2 2 1 0 4 and 0 2 2 1 0 2 and then the usual 0 2 2 1 0 0
So, while strumming you can move down the E string with your pinkie.

With every heartbeat, I still think of you
And remember our faded love

RIGHT OR WRONG
by Patsy Cline
Right or wrong I'll be with you.I'll do what you ask me to
For I believe that I belong.By your side for right or wrong
Right or wrong it's got to be.Always you and always me

Won't you take me along,to be with you for wight or wrong.
If it's wrong for me to love you,it can't be wrong for me to call

If you should say you love me,my life-with you-I'll share
Right or wrong day by day.All my love,all my way

I believe that I belong,by your side for right or wrong

I've got your picture that you gave to me
F F F F
And it's signed "with love," just like it used to be

The only thing different, the only thing new

I've got your picture, she's got you
I've got the records that we used to share

And they still sound the same as when you were here
The only thing different, the only thing new,

And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear

I only wrote out the top two strings (you don't need the other four to
play this unless you want to figure out the solo/lead part at the
beginning of the song)
intro:

A---2----------------------2-------------------------2--------------------
E---0-0-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0--------------------
"We have been waiting and it has begun . . . " (repeat a few times)

"Down at the crossroads..." (repeat)
Chorus:

E---0-0---0-0--0-3-0-0---0-0-0-0---0-0--0-3-0-3-5-------------------------
"Cause we're lock, stock, and barrel baby, hook line and sinker . . . "
"Too little, too late, high caliber consecrator"
That's about all there is to it. If you listen to the song you'll see
where all of these parts fit in and how many times to play them.
Enjoy.

Anyone who want's to talk to me about Clutch and any other

similar bands or any hardcore bands. Just mail and i'll
make sure i reply!
I'm pretty sure this tab is right. Later on the song some of
the single notes sound like they are being played as chords
but that is real easy so i'm sure you can all work it out.
If anyone has any other Clutch tabs at all the please

send em to me. I promise to make it worth your while.
Peace out,
Rich.

she'll really do you in
if you let her get under your skin

Measles make you mumpy - bridge
and mumps will make you lumpy

addendum: the Fsus2 in the line "conjured up by wind and sunlight" should
be Fsus2 (version 2)
hope this is clear enough

LYRICS:
From the lying mirror to the movement of stars

Everybody's looking for who they are
Those who know, don't have the words to tell
And the ones with the words, don't know too well
[chorus]
Could be famine, could be the feast
Could be the pusher, could be the priest
Always ourselves we love the least
That's the burden of the Angel Beast
Birds of paradise, birds of prey

Here tommorrow, gone today
Cross my forehead, cross my palm
Don't cross me, or I'll do you harm [to chorus]
[solo]
We go crying, we go laughing
Never understand, the time we were passing
Kill for money, die for love
Whatever was God thinking of [to chorus]
[out jam]

Closer To The Light

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There you go
Swimming deeper into mystery
Here I remain
Only seeing where you used to be
Stared at the ceiling
'Til my ears filled up with tears
Never got to know you
And suddenly you're out of here

Gone from daylight into light
Another step deeper
Into darkness
Closer to the light
Walked outside
Summer moon was nearly down
Mist on the fields
Holy stillness all around
Death's no stranger
No stranger than the life I've seen
Still I cried
Still I begged to get you back again

Gone from daylight into light
Another step deeper
Into darkness
Closer to the light

--------
Here's a pretty little ditty from the True North album 'Nightvision'.
FYI, 'The Blues got the World...' (by the balls) on the same album is also
in open C (capo V). Maybe I'll get energetic and tab it too. Maybe not.
Thanks to keithr5165@aol.com for getting me started with the first section

and (more importantly) finding the right tuning.

They'd blow away Karl Marks if he had the nerve to come around
[chorus]
Down on the plain of ten thousand smoke stacks

Trucks butt each other into established dominance
Newspapaer leans over to me and says matter o' factly
Sacred mountain towers above meadows high and above us uh-huh
[chorus]

Happy Good Morning Blues - Bruce Cockburn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the album "High Winds White Sky" 1971.

Transcribed and tabbed by Jared White (whitej@lincoln.ac.nz)
and John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz)
Tuning: Standard (Cockburn tunes all strings down one semitone)

Timing: 4/4 with the odd tricky bit...
Notes : This tune needs swing!
Measures 41 & 42 are real finger-busters. If anyone has
other suggestions, please Email us. It's fairly easy to
simplify if necessary.
Bracketed notes are optional. Feedback appreciated. Enjoy!!

Happy Good Morning Blues

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good day to you, fat balloon man
May you always have air
You sing a song everybody can believe
Good day to you, uncle tom cat

Out to drink the whole world
You carry a tune for nobody but yourself
Good day to you, herr policeman

May your boots always fit
Someday you'll find a song you can believe
Good morning good people

The sun is long sailing
The only clouds you see
Are carried within-
Soon they'll be blown all away
Wind gonna rise and blow those clouds away
Wind gonna rise and blow your blues away
Your sun gonna shine on my back door someday

I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacuntun one hundred thousand wait

To fall down from starvation or some less humane fate
Cry for Guatemala with a corpse in every gate
I would not hesitate
INSTRUMENTAL
I want to raise every voice, at least I've got to try

Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes
Situation desperate echoes of the victim's cry
Some son-of-a-bitch would die

Subject: TAB: Laughter by Bruce Cockburn
Hi there! Here's a tab of Laughter, by Bruce Cockburn (from "Further

Adventures of..." 1978).
Since tabbing this piece i have come to think that it may _possibly_ be in
open C. However, it works perfectly well in dropped-D, too. The only
difficulty is in the chorus section: for the first chord shape, you need to
barre the E,A & D strings at the 2nd fret with your first finger, while
keeping the G string open AND fretting the B and e strings at 3 and 5
respectively. If that's just ridiculous, then ignore the open G string
and play a straight barre chord.
I haven't included timing marks: I figure you'd have to know the song to
want to try and play it anyway. Note that Bruce modifies the verse section
a couple of times to get a more arpeggiated, sustained feel (eg the verse
about nuclear good-time boys). For this you can use the same fingerings,
just change the style.
That reminds me... i have one question about the lyrics of the song that
you may be able to help with:
Here's to the sun _______________????
Through a thermal inversion haze
Here's to the nuclear good time boys
Numbering all our days...
Comments, corrections welcome (nay, encouraged!). Thanks to Andrew

Rate for typing this up.

Subject: CRD:Lovers in a dangerous time by BNL
Actually, it's by Bruce Cockburn, but the ladies do a pretty decent version
of it too. This is how I do the song, not the same key as Cockburn, but
you get the idea.
Lovers in a Dangerous Time
G Amin F
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
G Amin F
You never get to stop and open your eyes
G Amin F
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
G Amin F
And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
G Amin F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G Amin F
Lovers in a dangerous time
G Amin F
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
G Amin F
This vibrant skin, this hair like lace
G Amin F
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
G Amin F
Never a breath you can afford to waste
G Amin F
G Amin F
G Amin F
G Amin F
G Amin F
G Amin F
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
G Amin F
But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
G Amin F
You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight

MAMA JUST WANTS TO BARRELHOUSE by Bruce Cockburn

I was up the road on Easy Street

Watching everybody stand around and cheat
E C#7/#9
Man comes up and says, "Move along,
F#m7 B9
Back to the corner where you belong"
A B E D E D
But Mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long.
I hear the city singing like a siren choir

Some fool tried to set this town on fire
T.V. preacher screams "Come on along"
I feel like Faye Wray face to face with King Kong.
Mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long.
Sometimes I wonder what I am

Feel like I'm living in a hologram
Doesn't seem to matter what's right or wrong
Everybody's grabbing and coming on strong
Mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long.

LYRICS:
From the lying mirror to the movement of stars

Everybody's looking for who they are
Those who know, don't have the words to tell
And the ones with the words, don't know too well
[chorus]
Could be famine, could be the feast
Could be the pusher, could be the priest
Always ourselves we love the least
That's the burden of the Angel Beast
Birds of paradise, birds of prey

Here tommorrow, gone today
Cross my forehead, cross my palm
Don't cross me, or I'll do you harm [to chorus]
[solo]
We go crying, we go laughing
Never understand, the time we were passing
Kill for money, die for love
Whatever was God thinking of [to chorus]
[out jam]

SUNWHEEL DANCE (Bruce Cockburn)
performed in "Sunwheel Dance"

open E tuning: EBEG#BE
tabbed from score on album cover
I just added the bass line and the ending.

This piece is not difficult, excluding a couple of bars with a
barre' on the 5th fret and a lot of legatos: it is better to play
it in open D with a capo on the 2nd fret.
It is nice to play it before Kottke's "Cripple Creek".

Subject: CRD: They Call It Democracy by Bruce Cockburn
THEY CALL IT DEMOCRACY by Bruce Cockburn (1985)
D
Padded with power here they come
Em G
International loan sharks backed by the guns
D
Of market hungry military profiteers
Em G
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
D Em G
With the blood of the poor
Who rob life of its quality

Who render rage a necessity
By turning countries into labour camps
Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
Sinister cynical instrument
Who makes the gun into a sacrament
The only response to the deification
Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
Idolatry of ideology
North south east west
Kill the best and buy the rest
It's just spend a buck to make a buck
You don't really give a flying fuck
About the people in misery
A
IMF dirty MF
A
Takes away everything it can get
A
Always making certain that there's one thing left
A D Em G D Em G
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
I see the paid-off local bottom feeders

Passing themselves off as leaders
Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
And it's open for business like a cheap bordello
And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy

And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy
You see the loaded eyes of the children too

Trying to make the best of it the way kids do
One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
They call the revolution
IMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
And they call it democracy

Still I'm going to miss you
Dragon of good fortune struggles with the trickster fox

Energy and patience and the power of the buck
Tonight I'm flying headlong to meet the dark red edge of dawn
I know somebody will be crying and somebody will be gone
Oh Tokyo, I never can sleep in your arms

Mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm
Me and all these other dice
Bouncing around in the cup
Did you have to show me that accident scene
Didn't I get enough shaking up
Still I'm going to miss you

Train in the Rain - Bruce Cockburn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From "Dart to the Heart" (1994).
Transcribed and tabbed by Jared White (whitej@lincoln.ac.nz)

and John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).
We found it difficult to transcribe the exact rhythm - the "feel" of

the piece is most important, and tab cannot capture this.
We're not 100% happy with our transcription for measures 41 to 43 (and
their repeats), but we felt that we tabbed the best compromise. If anyone
has any better suggestions *please* let us know! Don't be put off by the
length of this tab: most of it is repeats! 8^)
Any comments, suggestions etc appreciated. Enjoy...
Use a combination of strumming and "clawhammer style" fingerpicking,

keeping the bass chugging like a train. Be percussive.
Cockburn plays this on a resonator guitar.
Tuning: drop D (DADGBE)

Capo: 2nd fret
Timing: 4/4
Tempo: MM = 104 (total track time = 3:45)

wait-ing for the moon to show
LYRICS: this song is about an impending American gun boat invasion

as tourists watch from the shoreline of a Central American beach.
Body lies fluid in the static heat

Thoughts buzzing like flies around the meat
Land here Land there Quick circles in the air
I'm riding smooth
But just a little slow
chorus:
Waiting for the moon
Waiting for the moon to show
Leather faced old man by the cafe wall

Kids in the surf, splashing with a soccer ball
Gaze thru Curved lense
Trying to identify the sky's end
Little spots on the horizon
Into gunboats grow [to chorus]
Might be a party, might be a war

6 lines more (you've seen 95%)
When those faceless soldiers come ashore
Speculation ends in wasted time
May as well go, and have a glass of wine
Cause whatever's comin'
There's no place else to go [to chorus]^Z

Putting it together:
Intro:
D D G6 G6 D D G6 G6
Verse 1:
D D
Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
G6 G6
The world survives into another day
D D
And I'm thinking 'bout eternity
G6 G6 D D G6 G6
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me
D D
Had another dream about lions at the door
G6 G6
They weren't half as fright'ning as they were before
D D
But I'm thinking 'bout eternity
G6 G6 D D G6 G6
Verse 2:
D D
Walls windows trees, waves coming through
G6 G6
You be in me and I'll be in you
D D
Together in eternity
G6 G6 D D G6 G6
D D
Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
G6 G6
Or down in the valley where the river used to be
D D
I got my mind on eternity
G6 G6
Chorus:
Em7 Em7
And I'm wondering where the lions are
Dadd9 Dadd9
I'm wondering where the lions are
Em7 Em7
Dadd9 Dadd9
Em7 Em7
I'm wondering where the lions are, m-hm
Dadd9 Dadd9 Em7 Em7 Dadd9 Dadd9
wondering where the lions are aah aah
Verse 3:
D D
Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
G6 G6
Thousand year old petroglyphs doing a double take
D D
Pointing a finger at eternity
G6 G6 D D G6 G6
I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy
D D
Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun
G6 G6 D
Polished and precise like the brain behind the gun (should be!)
D
They got me thinking 'bout eternity
G6 G6 D D G6 G6
Chorus:
Verse 4:
D D
Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
G6 G6 D
One of these days they're gonna sail away
D
Gonna sail into eternity
G6 G6 D D G6 G6
Chorus, repeat, and fade.

Subject: I'm Gonna Crawl
Seeing as how I am the undisputed Led Zeppelin fan in the world, I have
decided to supply the missing zep songs to nevada.edu. Yes, I know, 'tis a
brutal task, but I can do it, because I burn lambs to my Jimmy Page icon. So
with no further ado:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I'm Gonna Crawl =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

In Through The Out Door
by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, & John Paul Jones
Chords: v = downstroke XX = Percussive sound

C - 032010 \ = slide up with no pitch
Am - 002210 / = slide down (5) = Suggested note
A - 355433
Ab - 577655
To play this song, Page uses a guitar set on distortion, but the
volume knob on it is turn down to a point near clean tone; with just
a little hint of crunch to it. The three way (or 5 way) is in the
treble position.

Lyrics:
Oh, she's my baby (Riff 1)

Let me tell you why
Hey, she drives me crazy
She's the apple of my eye
'Cause she is my girl (Riff 2)
And she can never do me wrong
If I dream too much at night
Somebody please bring me down
Hey, I love that little lady (Riff 1)

I got to be her fool
Ain't no other than my baby
I can break the golden rule
'Cause I get down on my knees (Riff 2)
Oh, I pray that love won't die
And if I always try to please
And I don't know the reason why
If she would come back (Riff 3)

And only stay with me
Oh yeah
Every little bit, every little bit,
Every little bit of my love
I give to you girl
Every little bit, every little bit,
Every little bit of myy love, oh
I don't have to go by plane (Riff 1)

I don't have to go by car
People, I don't care just where my darling is
I just don't care how far
I'm Gonna Crawl, I'm Gonna Crawl
I don't care if I have to go back home
I don't care where I got to stand to get to you
I'm Gonna Crawl, I'm Gonna Crawl
Ah, ooh, ooh, I'm gonna move the car, baby
I say, she give me good lovin'
She give me good lovin'
She give me good lovin'
My baby give me good lovin'
Ooh, yes I love her
I guess I love her
Yes, I love her
I'm Gonna Crawl (C chord at
end of Riff 1)
I'll post the solo once I figure it out... but here's all I know..
If anyone knows the solo, then re-post this. Sorry for any mistakes

tried to figure out..can anyone help me out?
I take all of it from memory too...so the timing
might be a bit inaccurate, but I think
the lyrics are right.

In spring time...when you haven't got a dime
In spring time...when life seems a crime
Chorus:

Come on over...cry on my shoulder
G Am C ?
And drink broken hearted wine...tastes fine...in the spring time
Broken hearted wine...tastes fine...in spring time
So you finally see his face

At last, and the pain will never pass
You thought he was the only boy
In the whole wide world for you
So come on over...
<rest of chorus>
So you don't know what to do

There's just one cure for you
In spring time...when there isn't any reason
Or I'm to thinking...that you'll be mine
you can come on over

<rest of chorus>

I have a chord for the last one on the verse..a barre chord...but I don't
know what it's called and I'm not gonna check since it's the wrong

You Don't Even Call Me By My Name

by: DAVID ALLAN COE
C G C
It was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
F C
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
F C
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
G C
You never even call me by my name.
C G C
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
C G C
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.
F C Am
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
D G
Even though your on my fightin' side.
CHORUS
F C
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
C G C
And I never minded standin' in the rain.
F C
G C G
I've heard my name a few times in your phone book

I've seen it on signs where I've laid
But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.
CHORUS...
then: the spoken part below has this played in the background:
(the numbers are complete bars)
C-2 G-4 C-2 G-2 C-1 G-1 and then C to finish out the rest.
Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song

and he told me it was the perfect country and western song
I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
country and western song because he hadn't said anything about
Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk.
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent
it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written
the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it
on this album. The last verse goes like this here:
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.

And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.
CHORUS:
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me

And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
C G C F
You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
C G F C F C
Why don't you ever call me by my name.

And I still do all the sad one's that I know.
I can't help it, I like Merle Haggard,
And sound alot like David Allen Coe.

Please come to Denver where the snow falls

We'll move up into the mountains so high that we can't be found
Through "I love you" echoes down the canyon
And we'll lie awake at night 'til they come back around
Please come to L.A., we'll live forever

The California life alone is just too hard to bear
We'll live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And we'll see stars fall from the sky, livin' up on the hill

THE RIDE
by: David Allan Coe
Intro: A# F C, repeated twice.
C D#
I was thumbin' back from Montgomery
D#
with a guitar on my back
F C
When a stranger pulled up beside me in an antique Cadillac.
C D#
Well, he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hallow eyed
F C
Its a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son.
C D#
He sat down in the front seat, and turned on the radio
F C
and them sad old songs comin' outta them speakers was solid country gold.
C D#
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asked me for a light.
F C
And knew there was somethin' strange about this ride.
CHORUS:
A# F C
He said: Mister can you make folks cry when you play and sang.
C
Can you pay your dues, can you moan the blues
G
Can you bend them guitar strangs.
A# F C
He said: Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside,
A# F C
Cause if your big star bound let me warn you its a long hard ride.
2.
Well, he cried just south of Nashville, and he turned that car around.
he said: (spoken) this is where you get off, boy
cause I'm going back to Alabam'.
I stepped out of that ole Cadillac and I said Mister, many thanks.
he said you don't have to call me mister, Mister.
The whole world calls me Hank.
repeat Chorus once or twice, depending on how you want to play it.
Well, here is one of them DAC songs. You can post or whatever you would
like to do with them. I had to do this by memory, so play it and see if it
is correct. Looking forward to a new newsletter. Later!

You Don't Even Call Me By My Name

by: DAVID ALLAN COE
C G
It was all that I could do
C
to keep from cryin'
F C
sometimes it seems so useless to remain
F C
G C
C G C
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
C G C
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.
F C Am
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
D G
Even though your on my fightin' side.
CHORUS
F C
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
G
And I never minded standin' in the rain.
F C
G C
I've heard my name a few times in your phone book

I've seen it on signs where I've laid
But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.
CHORUS:
(enter now the Steve Goodman story. The first half is played with a background
of C and G. Just before Steve writes back with the perfect Country and
Western song, it is just a straight background C chord.
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.

And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.
CHORUS:
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
C G F C
You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
F C G C F C
Why don't you ever call me by my name.

A BUNCH OF LONESOME HEROES- Leonard Cohen
A Bm
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
E E7 A Asus4 A
Were smoking out along the open road
Bm
The night was very dark and thick between them
E E7 A Asus4 A
Each man beneath his ordinary load
CHORUS:
D Dmaj7 Bm D A Amaj7 F#m A
"I'd like to tell my story"
B E E7
Said one of them so young and bold
D Dmaj7 Bm D A Amaj7 F#m A
"I'd like to tell my story
F#m E Esus4 E E7
Before I turn into gold"
But no one really could hear him

The night so dark and thick and green
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there
Where you and I have only been
CHORUS #2:
Put out your cigarette, my love
You've been alone too long
And some of us are very hungry now
To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong
I sing this for the crickets

I sing this for the army
I sing this for your children
And for all who do not need me
CHORUS #3:
"I'd like to tell my story"
Said one of them so bold
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story
'Cos you know I feel I'm turning into gold"
Esus4: 0 2 2 2 0 0 Dmaj7: x x 0 2 2 2
Amaj7: x 0 2 1 2 0 Asus4: x 0 2 2 3 0

NOTES:
* capo instrument at 1st fret
* all verses similar to 1st verse in chord structure
Introduction: Am /G
C
The birds they sang
at the break of day
G
Start again
C C7
I heard them say
E7
Don't dwell on what
Am
has passed away
G Gsus4 G5 G7 G
or what is yet to be.
The wars they will

be fought again
The holy dove
be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.
[chorus]:
F Bb F
Ring the bells that still can ring.
Bb F
Forget your perfect offering.
C Bb F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
Dm G Gsus4 G
That's how the light gets in.
We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
the widowhood
of every government -
signs for all to see.
Can't run no more

with the lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summed up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.
[chorus]
You can add up the parts

but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum
Every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.
[chorus]
[chorus]
that's how the light gets in

that's how the light gets in
[instrumental verse twice and fade]

Bird on the Wire by Leonard Cohen

(from the CD Songs from a Room)
A E A D
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
A E Asus4 A
I have tried in my way to be free
A E A D
Like a worm on a hook, like a knight from some old-fashioned book
A E Asus4 A
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
D A
If I, if I have been unkind
Bm A
I hope that you can just let it go by
D A
If I, if I have been untrue,
Bm E
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby stillborn, like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
A E A D
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
A E D A
I have tried in my way to be free

Chelsea Hotel#2 - Leonard Cohen
F C Bflat F
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
C Dm
You were talking so brave and so sweet.
F C Bflat
Giving me head on the unmade bed
F Bflat C
While the limousines wait in the street
Dm Bflat
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
F Am/E Dm
We were running for the money and the flesh
Bflat F
And that was called love for the workers in song,
Bflat C
Probably still is for those of them left.
Bflat F
And then you got away, didn't you, baby?
Am/E Dm
You just turned your back on the crowd.
Bflat F
You got away, I never once heard you say,
Bflat F Bflat F
"I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you,"
Bflat Dm C (To lead into next verse).
And all of that jiving around.

You were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men,
But for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well, never mind,
We are ugly but we have the music."
Then, after the 2nd verse...

C F C Bflat F
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
F C Dm
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
F C Bflat F
Bflat C
That all, I don't think of you that often.

CLOSING TIME (L. Cohen)

from Columbia Records' album THE FUTURE by LEONARD COHEN (CK 53226)
Transcribed by Clay Boutilier

URL: http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~cjboutil/
Introduction:
G /D /G D
G
Ah, we're drinking and we're dancing
and the band is really happening
Em
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high,
Bm
And my very sweet companion,
she's the Angel of Compassion
Em
and she's rubbing half the world against her thigh.
C
And every drinker, every dancer
lifts a happy face to thank her
G B7 Em
and the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
D
all the women tear their blouses off
the men they dance on the polka dots
C
and it's partner found and it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
G
it's CLOSING TIME
C
Yeah, the women tear their blouses off
the men they dance on the polka dots

G B7
and it's partner found and it's partner lost
Em C
G D
it's CLOSING TIME
G
We're lonely, we're romantic
and the cider's laced with acid
Em
and the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
Bm
And the moon is swimming naked
and the summer night is fragrant
Em
with a mighty expectation of relief
C
So we struggle and we stagger
down the snakes and up the ladder
G B7 Em
to the tower where the blessed hours chime
D
and I swear it happened just like this:
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
C
the Gates of Love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
G
but CLOSING TIME
C
I swear it happned just like this:
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
G B7
the Gates of Love they budged an inch
Em C
I can't say much has happened since
(can't say much has happned since, can't say much has happened since)
G D
but CLOSING TIME, CLOSING TIME
Em
I loved you for your beauty
but that doesn't make a fool of me
Bm
you were in it for your beauty too

declaring that you're body's really you (really really really really)

I loved you when our love was blessed
I love you now there's nothing left

The place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night

And my very close companion
gets me fumbing gets me laughing

she's a hundred but she's wearing something tight
C
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth
which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
G B7 Em
except to say it isn't worth a dime

And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ

we're busted in the blinding lights

Oh, the women tear their blouses off

and the men they dance on the polka dots, it's CLOSING TIME
G
And it's partner found, and it's partner lost
D
it's CLOSING TIME
G
I swear it happned just like this:
D
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss, it's CLOSING TIME
G
The gates of love they budged an inch
D
I can't say much has happned since but CLOSING TIME

I loved you when our love was blessed

And I missed you since our place gor wrecked

Coming Back To You (Leonard Cohen)
F / Dm / Bb C/G F / / /
F Dm Bb C/G F
Maybe I'm still hurting I can't turn the other cheek
Dm C/G Bb F
But you know that I still love you it's just that I can't speak
Bb F A Bb
I looked for you in everyone and they called me on that too
F C Dm Am Bb C F
I lived alone but I was only coming back to you
Dm Bb C/G F
They're shutting down the factory now just when all the bills are due
Dm
And the fields they're under lock and key

Though the rain and the sun come through
Bb F A Bb
And springtime starts but then it stops in the name of something new
F C Dm Am Bb C F
And all the senses rise against this coming back to you
Bb F Bb F
And they're handing down my sentence now and I know what I must do
A Bb G C
Another mile of silence while I'm coming back to you
F Dm Bb C/G F
There are many in your life and many still to be
Dm C/G Bb F
Since you are a shining light there's many that you'll see

But I have to deal with envy when you choose the precious few

Who've left their pride on the other side of coming back to you

Even when you bend to give me comfort in the night

Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in

Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove

FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT- Leonard Cohen
Am F
It's four in the morning, the end of December
Dm7 Em7
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
Am F
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
Dm7 Em7
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
Am Bm Am Bm
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
Am G
You're living for nothing now
Am G
I hope you're keeping some kind of record
CHORUS #1:
C G
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Am
She said that you gave it to her
Bm G
That night that you planned to go clear
F Em7
Did you ever go clear?
Am
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife
CHORUS #2:
C G
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
Am
One more thin gypsy thief
Bm G F Em7
Well I see Jane's awake she sends her regards
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer

What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free
CHORUS #3:
C G
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
Am G
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
C G
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Am
Bm G
F Em7
Sincerely, L Cohen
Dm7: x x 0 2 1 1 Em7: 0 2 2 0 3 0
NOTE: Technically speaking, the bottom E should drop down to D to get a

really low note for the Dm7. All other chords should be changed
accordingly if you feel it worth the bother. Also, the standard Cohen
picking pattern can be used on this song (see Winter Lady).

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen)
Dm Am
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
Dm Am
For trying to change the system from within
Dm Am
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
Dm Am
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
Dm Am
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
G F E Am
C G F
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
C Am
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
C Am
But you see that line there moving through the station
G F E Am
I told you I told you I told you I was one of those
Dm Am
You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win
Dm Am
You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline
Dm Am
How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin
G F E Am
Dm Am
I don't like your fashion business, mister
Dm Am
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
Dm Am
I don't like what happened to your sister
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)
Dm Am
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
Dm Am
The monkey end the plywood violin
Dm Am
I practiced every night and now I'm ready

Remember me, I used to live for music
Dm Am
Remember me, I brought your groceries in

It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded

Well, this is how I play it, in G. I'm more familiar with the version that
John Cale did on the I'm Your fan tribute, which was in C, but that's too
much of a pain in the ass for me. Transpose it down a fifth if you wish.
G Em
I heard there was a secret chord

that David played and it pleased the Lord,

But you don't really care for music do you.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah

HEY, THAT'S NO WAY TO SAY GOODBYE- Leonard Cohen
A
I loved you in the morning our kisses deep and warm
F#m
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
D
Yes, many loved before us I know that we are not new
A
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
F#m
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try
D
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
E A E
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I'm not looking for another

As I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner
Our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you
As your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes
Like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains
And things we can't untie
I loved you in the morning

Our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us
I know that we are not new
In city and in forest
They smiled like me and you
And things we can't untie
(from Songs of Leonard Cohen, 1967)

Leonard Cohen: I'm your man.
This song is from the CD "I'm your man" and can also be heard in an
italian film called "Caro diario" by the film-maker Nanni Moretti (1994).
This film won the price for the best direction in Cannes 1994.
I am interested in the words and chords of the song "Passing Through" and
in chords of the songs appeared on the albums "Various Positions" and
"Death of a Laidies Man" (e.g. Hallelujah, If it be your will, True love
leave no traces, ...). I would be thankful if you can help me.
/Em / /D /
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to.
/Em / /D /
And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.
/Bm / /G /
If you want a partner take my hand, or if you want to strike me down in anger ,
/A / /Bm
here I stand. I'm your man.
/Em / /D
If you want a boxer I will step into the ring for you.
/Em / /D /D
And if you want a jewish doctor, I'll examine every precious inch of you.
/Bm / /G /
If you want a driver climb inside. Or if you want a take me for a ride,
/A / /Bm /
You know you can. I'm your man.
/D /G /A /D
Ah, the moon's too bright, the chain's too tight, the beast won't go to sleep.
/F#m / /Bm /
I've been running through these promises to you that I made and I could not keep.
/F#m / /Bm /
Ah, but a man never got a women back, not by begging on his knees.
/G /F#m /G
Or I'd crawl to you, baby, and I'd fall at your feet,
/G /F#m
and I'd howl at your beauty like a dog in heat.
/G /E /A
And I'd claw at your heart and I'd tear at your sheet. I'd say, please,
/Bm /
please, I'm your man.
/Em / /D /
And if you've got to sleep for a moment on the road, I will steer for you.
/Em / /D /
And if you want to walk the street alone, I'll disappear for you.
/Bm / /G
If you want a father for your child, or only want to walk with me
/ /A / /Bm /
awhile across the sand, I'm your man
Repeat first lines and fade out ad lib.

From: ADI@chemie.uni-regensburg.de (adi)
here are some chords i play.
Pattern for both songs:
/A A /
Strumming the chords: 1 2 & 3 & 4 5 & 6 & two times per bar (6/8).
So Long, Marianne
Booklet Greatest Hits:
"I began this on Aylmer Street in Montreal and finished it a yaer or so

later at the Chelsea Hotel in New York. I didn't think I was saying goodbye
but I guess I was. She gave me many songs, and she has given songs to others too.
She is a Muse. A lot of people I know think that there is nothing more important
than making a song. Fortunately, this belief arises infrequently in their
conversation."
/A / /Bm / /
Come over to the window, my little darling,
D /D /A /
I'd like to try to read your palm.
G / /D /
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy,
F#m / /E Esus4/
before I let you take me home.
E E7 /A / / F#m /
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began to
/E Esus4 /E E7 /E Esus4/
laugh and cry and cry and
E E7 /A /Asus4 /A /Asus4 /A
laugh about it all again.
/A etc.
Well you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...
We met when we were almost young

deep in the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix,
as we went kneeling through the dark.
Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now.

Then why do I feel alone?
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...

For now I need your hidden love.
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious,
I never said that I was brave.
Oh, you are really such a pretty one.

I see you've gone and changed your name again.
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside,
to wash my eyelids in the rain!
(last two verses not on CD)
Oh your eyes, well I forgot Your eyes

Your body's at home in every sea.
How come you gave away your news to everyone
That you said was a secret for me.
If you leave, where will I keep you then

In my heart as some men say
But I who was born to love everyone
Why should I keep you so far away?
**********************************************************
There is a french version of this song by Georges Chelon
Here is the first verse:
J`‚tais je pense comme un boh‚mian

Et je lisais les lignes de ta main
Tu as tu‚ mon ƒme de gitan
Et je t'en veux, t'en loue en mˆme temps
Adieu Marianne
Le temps vient o— nous allons rire
Pleurer et rire pleurer puis en rire … nouveua
If You are interested in more i'll try to type them all.

***********************************************************
Lady Midnight
Booklet Greatest Hits:
"This was finished in the Henry Hudson Hotel on 58th Street in New York.
Yafa was doing tricks with her silver bangles. I owe her the last verse.
It was recorded in Nashville. The voice is uncertain. In those days it
took me fifteen minutes to decide whether or not I should wear my cap
when I went outside and a half hour whether or not I should take it off
when I came back."
/G /G7 /F /C
I came by my-self to a very crowded place;
/G /G7 /F /C
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.
/ /C7 /F /F
I found her there but she was past all con-cern;
/C /F Em/Dm /Dm
I asked her to hold me, said, "Lady, un-fold me,"
Em7/C /F
but she scorned me and she told me
/G /G7 /C
I was dead and I could never re-turn.
Well, I argued all night like so many have before,

saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
she said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
just win me or lose me,
it is this that the darkness is for."
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,

the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
I could hear my lady calling,
F /G /G7 /C /
"You've won me, you've won me, my lord,
/G /G7 /C
you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
/C /G /G7 /C
yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
/C /G /G7 /C
ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
/C /G /G7 /C
ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."
have a nice time with playing the songs

Last Year's Man - Leonard Cohen (1971?)

=============== ------------------~--
The song is six-eight time. I use the following simple finger picking
pattern, which I think is similar to what Cohen plays on the record (except
the first verse).
A
e -----0---0----
H -----2---2----
G ---2---2---2--
D --------------
A -0------------
e --------------
/ / / / / / <- each slash indicates an eighth note
Verses:
A F#m
The rain falls down on last year's man
G D
That's a Jews harp on the table, that's a crayon in his hand.
A F#m
And the corners of the blue print are ruined since they rolled
G D
Far past the stems of thumb tacks that still throw shadows on the wood.
G E A E
And the skylight is like the skin for a drum I'll never mend
A F#m G D
And all the rain falls down, Amen, on the works of last year's man.
(Same chord progression for the other verses:)
I met a lady, she was playing with her soldiers in the dark
Oh, one by one she had to tell them that her name was Joan of Arc.
I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while
I want to thank you Joan of Arc for treating me so well.
And tho' I wear a uniform I was not born to fight
All these wounded boys you lie beside; good night my friends, goodnight.
I came upon a wedding that old fam'lies had contrived

Bethlehem the bridegroom Babylon the bride.
Great Babylon was naked Ah! she stood there trembling for me
And Bethlehem inflamed us both like the shy one at some orgy.
And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
That I had to draw aside to see the serpent eat its tail.
Some women wait for Jesus and some women wait for Cain
So I hang upon my altar and I hoist my axe again.
And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began
When Jesus was the honeymoon and Cain was just the man.
And we read from pleasant bibles that are bound in blood an skin
That the wilderness is gathering all its children back again.
The rain falls down on last year's man

An hour has gone by and he has not moved his hand.
But everything will happen if he only gives the word
The lovers will rise up and the mountains touch the ground.
But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
And all the rain falls down, Amen, on the works of last year's man.
Outro: A F#m G D

Night Comes On (Leonard Cohen)
[3/4 time]
D G D / D G D /
D G D
I went down to the place where I knew she lay waiting
G A
Under the marble and the snow
D G D
I said Mother I'm frightened the thunder and the lightning
G A
I'll never come through this alone
G C G C
She said I'll be with you my shawl wrapped around you
G C G
My hand on your head when you go
D Am F C
And the night came on it was very calm, I wanted the night to go on and on
G D G D /
But she said go back, go back to the world
D G D
We were fighting in Egypt when they signed this agreement
G A
That nobody else had to die
D G D
There was this terrible sound and my father went down
G A
With a terrible wound in his side
G C G C
He said try to go on take my books take my gun
G C G
Remember my son how they lied
D Am
And the night comes on it's very calm
F C
I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
G D G D /
But you don't want to lie, not to the young
D G D
We were locked in this kitchen I took to religion
G A
And I wondered how long she would stay
D G D G A
I needed so much to have nothing to touch, I've always been greedy that way
G C G C
But my son and my daughter climbed out of the water
G C G
Crying Papa you promised to play
D Am
And they lead me away to the great surprise
F C
It's Papa don't peek, Papa cover your eyes
G D G D /
And they hide, they hide in the world
D G D
Now I look for her always I'm lost in this calling
G A
I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
D G D
Saying when will she summon me when will she come to me
G A
What must I do to prepare
G C G C
When she bends to my longing like a willow like a fountain
G C G
She stands in the luminous air
D Am
And the night comes on it's very calm
F C
I lie in her arms, she says when I'm gone
G D G D /
I'll be yours, yours for a song
D G D
Now the crickets are singing, the vesper bells ringing
G A
The cat's curled asleep in his chair
D G D
I'll go down to Bill's Bar, I can make it that far
G A
And I'll see if my friends are still there
G C G C
Yes and here's to the few who forgive what you do
G C G
And the fewer who don't even care
D Am
And the night comes on, it's very calm
F C
I want to cross over I want to go home
G D G D /
But she says go back, go back to the world

Leonard Cohen: One of us cannot be wrong
I heard this song nearly thousand years ago when I was a fifteen year old boy.
And as simple as the music of the song is, it captivated me until today.
The song appears on the CD "Songs of Leonard Cohen"

and on the newest live album "Leonard Cohen: Live In Concert"
Knows anybody the chords of "Dance me to the end of love"?

I would be thankful if you'd send them to my email-adress

Passing Through (written by R. Blakeslee - ar. L. Cohen)
I've found the words in the lyric archive of ftp.uwp.edu in Dean Engelhards
complete collection of Cohen songs. Here are the chords as closely I could
finger them out. Hope that they are not to wrong .
C F
I saw Jesus on the cross on a hill called Calvary
C G
"Do you hate mankind for what they done to you?"
C F
He said, "Talk of love not hate, things to do - it's getting late.
C G C
I've so little time and I'm only passing through."
C
Passing through, passing through.
C7
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue,
F
glad that I ran into you.
C G C
Tell the people that you saw me passing through.
C F
I saw Adam leave the Garden with an apple in his hand,
C G
I said "Now you're out, what are you going to do?"
C F
"Plant some crops and pray for rain, maybe raise a little cane.
C G C
I'm an orphan now, and I'm only passing through."
Passing through, passing through ...
C F
I was with Washington at Valley Ford, shivering in the snow.
C G
I said, "How come the men here suffer like they do?"
C F
"Men will suffer, men will fight, even die for what is right
C G C
even though they know they're only passing through"
C F
I was with Franklin Roosevelt's side on the night before he died.
C G
He said, "One world must come out of World War Two" (ah, the fool)
C F
"Yankee, Russian, white or tan," he said, "A man is still a man.
C G C
We're all on one road, and we're only passing through."
(let's do it one more time)
The french songwriter Graeme Allwright sings also this songs. Here are the
french lyrics.
de passage
J'ai vu J‚sus sur la croix sur le mont Golgotha

J'ai dit "En veux-tu aux hommes pour ce qu'ils t'ont fait"
Il dit: "Parle d'amour et pas de haine
Pour toute la race humaine
J'ai si peu de temps je suis seulement de passage."
De passage, de passage
Triste, heureux, voyage, dancs ce monde en rage
Dites-leur bien je suis seulement de passage.
J'ai vu Adam quitter le jardin une pomme dans sa main

J'ai dit: "Et maintenant qu'est-ce tu vas faire ?"
"Je travaillerai la terre, et je ferai des priŠres
Je suis orphelin, je suis seulement de passage"
De passage, de passage ..
J'ai suivi Washington at Valley Forge, grelottant de froid

J'ai dit: "Pourquoi les hommes souffrent tant ici?"
"Pour une cause ils peuvent souffrir, sont mˆme prˆts … mourir
Meme s'ils savent qu'ils sont seulement de passage."
De passage, de passage ..

SEEMS SO LONG AGO, NANCY- Leonard Cohen
Bm F# Bm F#m C#m F#m

It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone
A Bm A E A
Looking at the Late Late show through a semi-precious stone
C# F#m D A
In the House of Honesty her father was on trial
E F#m C#m D
In the House of Mystery there was no one at all
A E F#m
there was no one at all
It seems so long ago, none of us were strong

Nancy wore green stockings and she slept with everyone
She never said she'd wait for us although she was alone
I think she fell in love for us in nineteen sixty one
In nineteen sixty one
It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone

A forty five beside her head, an open telephone
We told her she was beautiful, we told her she was free
But none of us would meet her in the House of Mystery
The House of Mystery
And now you look around you, see her everywhere

Many use her body, many comb her hair
In the hollow of the night when you are cold and numb
You hear her talking freely then
She's happy that you've come
She's happy that you've come

Yes you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family,
but soon it comes round to your soul
Well I've been where you're hanging
I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says that your've sinned
They lay down beside me

I made my confession to them
They touched both my eyes
And I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf
That the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind yoou with love
That is graceful and green as a stem
When I left they were sleeping

I hope you run into them soon
Dont turn on the lights
You can read their address by the moon
And you wont make me jealous
If I hear that they sweetened your night

We werent lov-ers like that

We werent lovers like that

Subject: CRD: Stories of the Street - Leonard Cohen
Hi there. I'm writing this from memory so I'm not 100% confident about
the key this is played in on the CD (Songs of Leonard Cohen), and - in
fact - I'm not completely sure about some of the chords.
Stories of the Street - Leonard Cohen
Em G Bm F#m
The stories of the street are mine, the Spanish voices laugh
Em G Bm F#m
The Cadillacs go creeping now through the night and the poison gas,
Em C D F#
and I lean from my window sill in this old hotel I chose,
B E B A E Em
yes one hand on my suicide, one hand on the rose
I know you've heard it's over now and war must surely come,
the cities they are broke in half and the middle men are gone
But let me ask you one more time, O children of the dusk,
All these hunters who are shrieking now oh do they speak for us?
And where do all these highways go, now that we are free?
Why are the armies marching still that were coming home to me?
O lady with your legs so fine O stranger at your wheel,
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal
The age of lust is giving birth, and both the parents ask
the nurse to tell them fairy tales on both sides of the glass
And now the infant with his cord is hauled in like a kite,
and one eye filled with blueprints, one eye filled with night
O come with me my little one, we will find that farm

and grow us grass and apples there and keep all the animals warm
And if by chance I wake at night and I ask you who I am,
O take me to the slaughterhouse, I will wait there with the lamb
With one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl
I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky,
and lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye

Subject: CRD: Story of Isaac, Leonard Cohen.
Here's one more of Leonard Cohen... not that anybody asked :-)
Bo.
Story of Isaac
Am F
The door it opened slowly,
Am F
my father he came in,
G F E
I was nine years old.
Am F
And he stood so tall above me,
Am F
his blue eyes they were shining
G F E
and his voice was very cold.
C
He said, "I've had a vision
and you know I'm strong and holy,

D B
I must do what I've been told."
F Bb
So he started up the mountain,
F Bb
I was running, he was walking,
F G A Am
and his axe was made of gold.
Well, the trees they got much smaller,

the lake a lady's mirror,
we stopped to drink some wine.
Then he threw the bottle over.
Broke a minute later
and he put his hand on mine.
Thought I saw an eagle
but it might have been a vulture,
I never could decide.
Then my father built an altar,
he looked once behind his shoulder,
he knew I would not hide.
You who build these altars now

to sacrifice these children,
you must not do it anymore.
A scheme is not a vision
and you never have been tempted
by a demon or a god.
You who stand above them now,
your hatchets blunt and bloody,
you were not there before,
when I lay upon a mountain
and my father's hand was trembling
with the beauty of the word.
And if you call me brother now,
forgive me if I inquire,
"Just according to whose plan?"
When it all comes down to dust
I will kill you if I must,
I will help you if I can.
When it all comes down to dust
I will help you if I must,
I will kill you if I can.
And mercy on our uniform,
man of peace or man of war,
the peacock spreads his fan.

NOTE: To play this song better, you should switch to the sustained
position of each chord for just one note at a time. These occasions are
marked off in the first four lines. From there on it should be evident
enough. Here are the sustained chords you should use:

{title:Suzanne}
{st:Leonard Cohen}
[G]Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river,
You can [Am]hear the boats go by,
You can spend the night beside her,
And you [G]know that she's half crazy,
And that's why you want to be there;
And she [Bm]feeds you tea and oranges
That come [C]all the way from China;
And j[G]ust when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her,
She [Am]gets you on her wave-length
And lets the river answer
That you've [G]always been her lover.
{c:Chorus:}
And you [Bm]want to travel with her,
And you [C]want to travel blind,
And you [G]know that you can trust her,
For you've [Am]touched her perfect body
With your [G]mind.
And Jesus was a sailor

When He walked upon the water,
And he spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower,
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him,
He said, "All men shall be brothers, then,
Until the sea shall free them,"
But He himself was broken
Long before the sky would open,
Forsaken, almost human,
He sank beneath your wisdom
Like a stone.
{c:Chorus:}
And you want to travel with Him,
And you want to travel blind,
And you think you maybe trust Him,
For He's touched your perfect body
With His mind.
Suzanne takes you down

To her place by the river,
You can hear the boats go by,
You can spend the night forever,
And the sun pours down like honey,
On our lady of the harbour;
And she shows you where to look
Amid the garbage and the flowers.
There are heroes in the seaweed,
There are children in the morning,
They are leaning out for love,
And they will lean that way forever,
While Suzanne holds the mirror.
{c:Chorus:}
And you want to travel with her,
And you want to travel blind,
And you think maybe you'll trust her,
For you've touched her perfect body
With your mind.

Lyrics :
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river

You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
>From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
Now Suzanne takes your hand

And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
>From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

There are not many tabs out for Leonard Cohen songs, execpt
from his two albums Songs of L.C. and Songs from a room. So
i'm interested in the way other people play his songs on the
guitar. Perhaps You are also interested and we can put our
information together to work out some new tabs. Here is a
first proposal of "Take This Longing". The chords are from
his anthology songbook. Feel free to critize the lines and
tell what can be done better. Is this group the right place
for such stuff or should i better stay at home? Thank You
very much for reading these lines and for any answer.

TENNESSEE WALTZ
by Pee Wee King
(intro) |D|GDA|D|D|
(VERSE 1)
D D7 G
I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
D Bm E A
When an old friend I happened to see.
D D7 G
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
D G D A D
my friend stole my sweetheart from me.
(CHORUS 1)
D D7 G D
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Bm E A
'cause I know just how much I have lost
D D7 G
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
D G D A D
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
(solo, same as a verse)

(CHORUS 1) or CHORUS 1 alone again
(VERSE 2)
D D7 G
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltze
D Bm E A
Could have broken my heart so complete
D D7 G
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'
D G D A D
In love with my darlin' so sweet
(CHORUS 2)
D D7 G D
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz
Bm E A
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost
D D7 G
But I didn't see it commin', it's all over but the cryin'
D G D A D
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
(solo, same as a verse)

(CHORUS 2)
New second verse written by Cohen: lyric source was Dean Engelhardts
Smugged Air.
D D7 G
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
D Bm E A
and I feel like I'm falling apart
D D7 G
and it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
D G D A D
this darkness she left in my heart
I remember the night ... (CHORUS 1)
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
i thank for the additional information i got from rec.music.folk:
From: jlupton@sas.upenn.edu (John Lupton)
Written and originally performed by Pee Wee King (and His Golden West Cowboys)
back in the 40s. Patti Page had a monster pop hit with it in the 50s, it's
been done by dozens of people since in forms from bluegrass to country to pop
to folk to...well, whatever. I'll even admit to having a version by Anne
Murray that's done very nicely.
>A good time to mention Jesse Winchester's "Brand New Tennessee Waltz." Just
>an aside.
The Nashville Bluegrass Band does a sterling version of this on one of their
albums...either "Nashville Bluegrass Band" or "Idle Time", I forget which.
********************************************************************************
From: jondw@ix.netcom.com (Jon Weisberger)
Actually, the songwriting credit is to Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart,
who was the vocalist in his band, according to Bill C. Malone's
_Country Music U.S.A._
My favorite recording, FWIW, is that made by one of our century's great

folk artists, Earl Taylor, on his "Body And Soul" album on Vetco.
******************************************************************************
From: spinoza@next06wor.wam.umd.edu (Yon Bonnie Laird of Cairn Robbing)
My favorite version would be the live recording of Patsy Cline. Sounds

like it was done at the Opry or some such live show. I heartily recommend
the box set, BTW.

THE FUTURE (L. Cohen)

from Columbia Records' release THE FUTURE by LEONARD COHEN (CK 53226)
Transcribed by Clay Boutilier 07/30/95

Introduction:
Am / /
Dm
Give me back my broken night, my mirrored room, my secret life
G6 E7 Am
it's lonely here, there's no one left to torture
Dm
Give me absolute control over every living soul
G6 Am
And lie beside me baby, that's an order!
Dm
Give me crack an anal sex, take the only tree that's left
G6 E7 Am
and stuff it up the hole in your culture
Dm
Give me back the Berlin Wall, give me Stalin and St. Paul
G6 E7 Am
I've seen the future, brother: it is murder.
[Chorus:]
Dm C
Things are gonna slide (slide) in all directions
Dm C
Won't be nothing (won't be) nothing you can't measure anymore.
Dm F
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold
Fm C
and it has overturned the order of the soul
G
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
Am
I wonder what they meant
G
Am
G
Am
[second verse: (same chords as first)]
You don't know me from the wind, you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew who wrote the bible
I've seen nations rise and fall, I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engibe of survival
Your servant here he has been told to say it clear to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop, you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future: it is murder.
[repeat chorus]
[third verse:]
There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code
Dm
Your private life will suddenly explode
Am
There'll be phantoms, there'll be fires on the road
F7 E
and the white man dancing
Am
You'll see your woman hanging upside down
Dm
her features covered by her fallen gown
Am
and all the lousy little poets coming around
F7 E
trying to sound like Charlie Manson
Am
and the white man dancing
Dm
Give me back the Berlin Wall, give me Stalin and St. Paul
G6 E7 Am
Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima
Dm
Destroy another fetus now, we don't like children anyhow
G6 E7 Am
I've seen the future, baby: it is murder.
[repeat chorus]
G Am
[end on Am]

The Old Revolution - Leonard Cohen

I finally broke into the prison, I found my place in the chain.

Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows,

all the brave young men they're waiting now to see a signal

chorus:
A E A
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
E B A E
you whom I cannot betray.
additional lyrics:
I fought in the old revolution on the side of the ghost and the King.
Of course I was very young and I thought that we were winning;
I can't pretend I still feel very much like singing
as they carry the bodies away.
chorus
Lately you've started to stutter as though you had nothing to say.

To all of my architects let me be traitor.
Now let me say I myself gave the order
to sleep and to search and to destroy.
chorus
Yes, you who are broken by power, you who are absent all day,
you who are kings for the sake of your children's story,
the hand of your beggar is burdened down with money,
the hand of your lover is clay.

THE STORY OF ISAAC- Leonard Cohen
Am F Am F
The door it opened slowly, my father he came in
G F E
I was nine years old
Am F Am F
And he stood so tall above me, blue eyes they were shining
G F E
And his voice was very cold
C C/G C C/G
He said, "I've had a vision and you know I'm strong and holy
D C B
I must do what I've been told"
F Bb F Bb
So he started up the mountain, I was running, he was walking
F G A
And his axe was made of gold
Well, the trees they got much smaller, the lake a lady's mirror
We stopped to drink some wine
Then he threw the bottle ove, broke a minute later
And he put his hand on mine
Thought I saw an eagle but it might have been a vulture
I never could decide
Then my father built an altar,he looked once behind his shoulder
He knew I would not hide
You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children

You must not do it anymore
A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted
By a demon or a god
You who stand above them now, your hatchets blunt and bloody
You were not there before
When I lay upon a mountain and my father's hand was trembling
With the beauty of the word
And if you call me brother now, forgive me if I inquire

"Just according to whose plan?"
When it all comes down to dust I will kill you if I must
I will help you if I can
When it all comes down to dust I will help you if I must
I will kill you if I can
And mercy on our uniform, man of peace or man of war
The peacock spreads his fan
NOTE: use the standard Cohen picking style (see Winter Lady)

you much prefer the gentleman I was before.

Die Gedanken sind Frei (text and music: anonymous)
Dean Engelhard writes in his complete collection of cohen songs (ftp.uwp.edu

/pub/music/lyrics) that Cohen had performed this german folk song.
It was never released on CD (as much as I know).
The song was written between 1780 and 1800, at the time of the French
Revolution.

TONIGHT WILL BE FINE- Leonard Cohen
A E A
Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past
A E A
We swore to each other then that our love would surely last
E A
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast
E A
Now I am too thin and your love is too vast
CHORUS:
D A
But I know from your eyes
D A
And I know from your smile
D A
That tonight will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
E E7 A
Will be fine for a while
I choose the rooms that I live in with care

The windows are small and the walls almost bare
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer
I listen all night for your step on the stair
CHORUS
Oh sometimes I see her undressing for me

She's the soft naked lady love meant her to be
And she's moving her body so brave and so free
If I've got to remember that's a fine memory

TOWER OF SONG (Leonard Cohen)

Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play

C G
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
D C
I'm just paying my rent everyday
G
In the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.

C G
But I hear him coughing all night long
D C
A hundred floors above me
G
I was born like this, I had no choice.
I was born with the gift of a golden voice.

C G
And twenty-seven angels from the Great beyond
D C
They tied me to this table right here
G
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all

I'm standing by the window where the light is strong

They don't let a woman kill you, not
G
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure:
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
C
And there's a mighty judgment coming
G
But I may be wrong
D C
You see, you hear these funny voices
G
Em D
I see you standing on the other side
Em D
I don't know how the river got so wide
C G
I loved you, baby, way back when
Em D
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
Em D
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
C D
We'll never have to lose it again
G
I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track

C
But You'll be hearing from me, baby
G
Long after I'm gone
D C
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
G

******************Origin of the song***************************

From: jmf@endor.harvard.edu ( ghost )
Subject: Leonard Cohen's classic rewrite
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 1994 15:30:27 GMT
>From the Hartford Prayerbook Press, 1951,

translation or collection by Rabbi Morris Silverman of a religious verse
by Kelonymus ben Meshullam, 11th century Germany
(this data on the actual author is from a more recent but
less poetic translation)
(verse 1)
On New Year's Day the Decree is inscribed

And on the Day of Atonement it is sealed
How many shall pass away and how many shall be born
Who shall live and who shall die
Who shall attain the measure of man's day
And who shall not attain it
Who shall perish by fire and who by water
Who by sword and who by beast
Who by hunger and who by thirst
Who by strangling and who by stoning
Who shall have rest and who shall go wandering
Who shall be tranquil and who shall be disturbed
Who shall be at ease and who shall be afflicted
Who shall become poor and who shall wax rich
Who shall be brought low and who shall be exalted
But Repentance, Prayer and Righteousness

Avert the Severe Decree
there's 3 verses more to the prayer, and very beautiful ones, in the way of
exposition of the above rather than more to the list, but I won't stretch
your patience further;
now look at "Who By Fire"
Needless to say there's more verses to Lenny's version too,

& all to the list, but that Repentance, Prayer & Righteousness
don't ever begin to enter into it

Lyrics :
And who by fire, who by water,

who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
who in your merry merry month of may,
who by very slow decay,
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,

who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
and who by avalanche, who by powder,
who for his greed, who for his hunger,
And who by brave assent, who by accident,

who in solitude, who in this mirror,
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
who in mortal chains, who in power,

WINTER LADY- Leonard Cohen
D+4 Amaj7 D+4 C

Traveling lady stay awhile
D+4 Amaj7 D+4
Until the night is over
D+4 Amaj7 D+4 C
I'm just a station on your way
D+4 Amaj7 D+4
I know I am not your lover
CHORUS #1:
D+ Am7
Well, I lived with a child of snow
D+ Am7
When I was a soldier
D+ Am7
And I fought every man for her
D+ Am7
Until the nights grew colder
She used to wear her hair like you

Except when she was sleeping
And then she'd weave it on a loom
Of smoke and gold and breathing
CHORUS #2:
And why are you so quiet now
Standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
You came upon this highway
Traveling lady stay awhile

Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I am not your lover

If you should ever track me down

I will surrender there

I'm starting with the chorus because I don't remember the verse.
[G] You can keep your Eldorado

[C] And the foreign car's ab[G]surd
Me, I wanna go down [D]
In a Sil[C]ver Thunderbird
[Em] [D/F# bass] [G]

[Em] [D/F# bass] [G] [C] [D]
[Em] [D] [G] Watched him [G/B bass] comin' up [C] Wins[G/B]low
Down [Am] South Park [G] Boulevard [D]
Yeah, he was [Em] lookin' [D/F#] good from [G] tail to hood
[G] Great big [G/B] fins and [C] painted [G/B] steel
Man it [Am] looked just [G] like the [D] Batmobile
With [Em] my old [D/F#] man be[G]hind the wheel
Well you could [Em] hardly even [D] see him in [C] all of that [G] chrome
The [Em] man with the [D] plan and the [C] pocket [G] comb
Yeah, but [Am] every [G/B] night it [C] carried him [D] home
If you get his more recent album (The Rainy Season?) I think he does
some guitar stuff on it. The first album was better, in my opinion.

Hi
I had this file done for a friend of mine, and I thought you might want to add the songs to your
list:
The following postings are RTF *Rich Text Format* Files, describing
four complete CD's. If you import them in your Text editor
and that one understands RTF, these files print as a Cassette Label On Legal Paper.
iIf you want the files without the descriptions (just plain text) I might
mail those to you as well, but I thought these were much nicer... :)
Enjoy, and cut the Text down to here. Enno (q09960@pbhrzx.uni-paderborn.de)

True Companion by Marc Cohn
Capo 3rd fret
Intro:
G/C G/B G
Verse:
C G D G repeated until "I'm gonna climb the mountain" where it changes
to
D G C G
Then at "My arms are reaching out"
It goes to Em G
Then back to C G D G for the last part
It then repeats twice more to make the entire song. Sorry this is so
brief but I'm at work.

Hi,
I just posted the song listed above to rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature and

to alt.guitar.tab. Someone had posted the chords, and I converted them to
CHORD format. I understand that you add items to the archives. So.....
Please let me know if there's a better "sanctioned" way to submit stuff to the
archive. Thanks.

FLAME TREES by Cold Chisel
An old Aussie favourite by ex-mega band Cold Chisel. No big surprises

here, just a great tune. Enjoy.
David Braue via mf311960@uq.oz.au
Intro: A E A E
A E
The kids are driving and Saturday afternoon just passed me by
A E
I'm just savouring familiar sights
A E
We shared some history, this town and I
A B G#m Av
And I can't stop that long-forgotten feeling of her
A B E
In time to book a room and stay tonight
Number 1 is to find some friends and say "you're doing well --

After all this time you boys look just the same"
Number 2 is the Happy Hour at one of two hotels
And settle in to play "Do you remember so-and-so"
Number 3 is never say her name
CHORUS:
A B F#m
And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary driver
Av B E
And there's nothing that can set fire to this town
A B C#m E
There's no change, there's no pace, everything within its place,
A B E
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
A E
Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway
A E
It takes more than just a memory to make me cry
A E
And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends
A E
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
A E
And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands
A E
With a young local factory auto worker -- just holdin' hands
A G#m B
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
C G C G D E
Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day
CHORUS

Cold Chisel
"Khe Sahn"
from Mike Hiltonwood - i951612@redgum.bendigo.latrobe.edu.au
- the great Australian pub "do ya know how to play..." song
Em C G
I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sahn
Em C D
& I sold my soul and ciggarettes to the black market man
Em C G C
I've had the Vietnam Cold Turkey from the ocean to the Silver City
Am F (FM7?) D
but thats only other Vets could understand
Em C G
'bout a long forgotten dock-side guarantee
Em C D
there were no D-day heroes in 1973
Em C
and how we sailed into Sydney Harbour,
G C
I saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her
Am F D
she was loud and I was home to the lucky land
( same chords )
She was like so many more from that time on

their lives were all so empty 'til they found their chosen one
Although their legs were often open, their minds were always closed
and their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
Now the last train out of Sydneys almost gone.....etc

--- this is reasonably correct

---chord progression varies slightly for somw verses

Verse 2
=======
She took her mother's car to get away from me

Heaven knows that I, I can sympathize
Oh I can sympathize
For we were never close if the truth were told
All we ever shared was a taste in clothes
Oh we were never close
We were simply losing everything
Underneath the cruellest London sun

Subject: CRD Lloyd Cole's "Ice Cream Girl"
Here's an attempt at Lloyd Cole's "Ice Cream Girl" off

his first solo album. I'm not sure about the A chord with
a ? after it - any help appreciated. Also, the lyrics might be
suspect. He only plays the opening riff in the first
verse, but I've put the chords in anyway. During the first
part of the first, its kind of a funky rhythm on an D - listen to
the record for details. Capo at the 3rd fret.

Riff A played through out verses

Maybe I'm a little old fashioned
Maybe you're a little unkind
Maybe I'm a little impatient
Well come see about mine
G
You won't give me your number
A
Won't give me your time
D
Said meet me on the corner
A?
And theres still no sign
D
Maybe I'm a little outdated
Maybe a little out of time
To believe your heart is in the right place
G
Despite what you're doing to mine
A
That why I'm standing on the corner
D A?
Lookin like I don't care
*chorus*
G A D
You want to crucify my feelings with your fingernails
G A
And leave the loniest boy in the western world
E G
Cruisin the streets for an ice cream girl
*verse 2 - same as first*

I feel like a shady politician
Trying to sell a broken down car
Silly sleeping virgin princess
You know that's not what you are
Do I have to feel this small
Before you play ball
Maybe I lack sophistication

Maybe a little unrefined
So my credit ain't to good
We'll call a dollar a dime
You won't give me your number

Won't give me your time
I'm standing on the corner
And theres still no sign
*chorus - same as last one*

Date: 15 Dec 1995 19:02:09 GMT
Here are all the tracks to Lloyd Coles most recent album, Love Story. Enjoy
Trigger Happy by Lloyd Cole

From Love Story
This one is really simple as soon as you get the fingerpicking

pattern down, which isn't too hard. Sometimes in the verse,
Lloyd strums the Asus4 (or plucks it with his fingers) instead
of doing the picking pattern. Music theory people will notice
the major in the verse and a turn to the minor in the chorus
-enjoy.
Capo on 2nd fret

how you're not the way that we were.

Love Ruins Everything
Capo 4th fret
This one is a little tricky to get the timing right - if you

play along with the album it should come quickly. If tabbed
out the verse and prechorus as I play it and it sounds pretty
good. The Spanish like guitar part in front I haven't tabbed
out, but if you mess around with it, its not hard. I like to
play this one with my fingers and pluck the strings instead of
using a pick also - allows for greater control over the
strings.

Unhappy Song
This song is a straight bass note strum pattern after the first
intro - the chords to the chorus are basically the same as the
verse, except played in a different position - I don't know if this
is how Lloyd does it on the record, but it sounds best to me - if
it doesn't to you, try the verse chords over the chorus - both
sound pretty close.

Let's Get Lost
On this one, hit the bass note, then the rest of the chord.
Letters not capitalized represent single notes on the 6th string.
For the walk up at the end of a stanza, use the G# as the bass note
in the bass note chord pattern. Also, for the E, the strum is much
shorter, to allow time for the walk up. There may also be a second
guitar, playing the bass notes an octave higher to fill out the
arrangement.

Subject: CRD and TAB Lloyd Cole's "Rattlesnakes"
Here's Lloyd Cole's Rattlesnakes - fairly easy song. The riff

I've tabbed out is repeated during the verses and when the slide
from the B to C# occurs, make the E(022100) an E6 (022120). Also
the violin solo hasn't been tabbed, but its really easy - mess
around in the proper key and you'll find it no problem.
Opening and verse riff

E
Jodie wears a hat although it
D D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Hasn't rained for six days
E
She says a girl needs a gun these days
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
*Chorus*
E Bm D A
She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront
E Bm D A
She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
*verse pattern twice*

She's less than sure if her
Heart has come to stay in san jose
And her neverborn child still haunts her
As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police

Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
She's obvious despite herself
*Chorus again*
She says all she needs is therapy yeah
All you need is, love is all you need
*Instr*
A D Bm
A D Bm D E
*verse pattern once*

Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are
Always needles in the hay
She says that a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
*chorus pattern over all lines*

As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
Her heart, heart's like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front
She says ooh, it's so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment
E D on fade with the riff thrown in when appro.

Subject: CRD: "So you'd like to save the world" by Lloyd Cole
Here's my attempt at "So You'd Like To Save The World" by Lloyd

Cole off his "Bad Vibes" album. Lloyd wrote this wondering what it
would be like to go out with Natalie Merchant.
Listen to the song to get the muting and accents that Lloyd puts on
individual chords (ie the muting on the G and the accents on the
C in the verses)
Capo at 4th - chords written like they are played at first position
(ie G=B)
Chords
G 320033 G/B x20033
C* x32013 D xx0232
C x32010 Am7 x02010
Intro G
G C* G
So you'd like to save the world
G C*
I suggest you start one person at a time
G/B Am7 G
and start with me
G C* G
Not an ordinary girl
G C*
Not some that I should hit upon
G/B Am7 G
and ask "Hey what's your sign babe"
*Prechorus*
Am7 D
Have you been reading my mind (what did you find)
Am7 D
Nothing more or less terestrial
G C
Could I keep you in mind
*Chorus*
C G D C
Did you really cry
C G D C
When you saw the hole in the sky
C G/B Am7 G
Did you really hold your head high
C D C
That's alright you might call it ultraviolet radiation
Its only sunlight
G C G C G
*same as other verse*

So you'd like to save my world
If you could free my inner child then
I could free your inhibitions babe
Or would you like to mother me
I love the way you wear that montrola(?) robe
Generation chic mama
Pre chorus
Chorus - same as other except instead of G C G C G go into

following over chorus chords
Aw yes it is
Aw yes it is
Aw yes you might call it ultraviolet radiation
Its only sunglight
(Noodling around on C)
*over chorus chords *

So you'd like to save the world
I'd really like to help you
I'd really like to free you
Is that alright
I could call it ultraviolet radiation
But its only sunlight
Its only sunlight

Its only sunlight
You could call it ultrviolet radiation

Lloyd Cole (To The Lions by LC)
Capo on the 2nd fret on this one. With the G and C/G changes in the verses you
have to listen to the record. I've tired as best I could, but w/o a guitar in
my hands its hard to visualize
G C/G G C/G G C/G

Lost my girl on Monday
G C/G G C/G G C/G

Lookin for some sympathy
G C/G Em
I went to church directly
C
The Lord was not there for me
(same as 1st verse)

Didn't go to work on Tuesday
Got to drinking around noon
I lost my heart to a mean bartender
She knocked me off my stool
Chorus
C D
Now the worlds spinnin round
Em
Too fast and wrong
Am C
Won't you let me off on the corner
Am (not exactly sure about chrd, but it works for me)

You know a man can take to sittin all he
G C/G G C/G G C/G

needs is a little push in that direction
(same as first verse)

I lost my job on Friday
Said I lacked the discipline
I went to church directly
Peter said he's not in

I hit the bar on Sunday
Looking for some discipline
I sold my soul to the mean bartender
She said I'm born again
Chorus again, but instead of "that direction" substitute
C
you time it just right
G ( and so on with the C/G and G)
you could send me to the loins tonight

UNDRESSED--LLOYD COLE
(Memory may fail me for words and some chords, but this is MY way)
(Capo third fret so you can play along on a C or G harp)
A F#m D D9
You look so good when you're depressed
Better even in your current state of Undressed
Here's caressing me that way
I'm not even drinking I feel fine In your pain
The cruellest thing I ever saw

You were sitting there smoking my cigarette, you were naked on the bare
stone floor
You looked at me to say don't guess
I was only watching yes I love you more Undressed.
CHORUS:
E F#m Bm E
Is it really such a sin?
Should I feel some kind of shame?
F#m Bm D D9
Will I truly go to hell?
You never lock the bathroom door

Should I be embarrassed when I've seen a hundred times before
How do married couples go?
Should I say excuse me darling? I don't know...
CHORUS
You look so good when you're depressed

Better even in your current state of Undressed
Here's caressing me that way
I'm not even thinking I feel fine... scary...
CHORUS
The cruellest thing I ever saw

You were sitting there smoking my cigarette you were naked on the bare
stone floor
You looked at me to say don't guess
I was only watching is it bad that i should love you best... Undressed.
(end on D)

Here's Weeping Wine by Lloyd of Don't Get Weird On Me Babe (lyrics from memory
so forgive)
Intro
A chord with sus4 and sus2 thrown in (I don't know how to write tab, but if you
listen to the album you'll get it). The lead notes a A B C# D C# B A
A D
If every lover that you'd ever known
A D
would turn around would you take one
A D
Or would really rather be alone
G D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
and further out that you might really know

Well I don't know babe if you ever have been told
but you're a tough one to play for
tried to be what you were looking for
now I'm not sure if you ever really knew
E F#m
Now the world won't wait and babe you're cryin too late
F#M E D
You're drinkin' on borrowed time
A
and the last thing you'll need is
E A
me and my weeping wine
(again, same as first verse)

You sit around and stick you're pins in dolls
Whats there to lay down and die for
you're looking fine baby its well known
why does you're story have to be so short
F#m E
Cause pretty soon babe you're gonna show your age
F#m E D
You're drinkin on borrowed time
A
E A
(solo over verse chords)
(same as FIRST chorus)

Now the world won't wait and babe you crying too late
you're drinkin on borrowed time
me and my weeping wine (repeat a few time and end on wine).
I've got a couple other Lloyd's I'll post here soon. This is the only one I can
do from memory.

[solo]
Sorry guys, this is a great solo and I'd like to keep it that way. I can
barely get down the
main parts of this solo, and anything that I transcribe wouldn't be worthy
of posting. The
chords over the solo are from the Chorus. Then the chorus is played twice.
The second
time, the lyrics are played around with a little and finally the song ends
with guitar riff 1
played twice.

A fairly simple but very nice song.

Just play the following line a couple of times in the beginning
and in the end. The rest of it is just a G-C-D progression.
There are some nice fills in there that I haven't figured out,
so any additions or comments on this are more than welcome.

the walls came up as the thoughts went down to the hush of disparity
sure we know the problem lies with some insecurites
E G D G
but we'll never see eye to eye as long as our tongues are tied
and we'll never be seen as one until we find love
D G
in a moment it could happen, we could wake up and be laughing
in a moment it could happen, we could forgive and be happy
it's a shame our world responds to life as a puzzle in disguise

i wish our course would lead us towards the peace and loving kind
but we'll never walk hand in hand until we let old wounds mend
and we'll never sing songs as one until we find love
G D A D G
in a moment some wisdom could be learned
in a moment new voices could be heard
in a moment we could make heads turn

Capo on the 4th fret (Fret numbers are counted from the capo)
This song sounds kinda retro to me. I don't usually like that sound,
but I really like it in this song. Unfortunately, I don't have a
recording of "Shine", so the music is what I got off the radio the few
times I've heard it on Live 105. I haven't sequenced the entire song,
but all the riffs are here. The lyrics have been generously provided
by Paul D. Thanks! -- John

Hi there, Im one of those naughty people that tape stuff off the radio
I taped this and tried to work it out ( SHINE - by Collective Soul that is)

down a further 2 semitones

woah... heaven let yor light shine down
there you go, the first two bars I think are right but
there seems to be something else playing aswell like another
string. The second two bars are my least confident, Ill have to
work on them but i thought i would enclude them anyway. the rest I think
is pretty right and the solo has roughly the same chords as the chorus
but i dont
remeber in what order. If anyone has a more correct version, I would
love to see it
anyway, seeya

Subject: TAB: Smashing Young Man, Collective Soul
Smashing Young Man - Collective Soul

from COLLECTIVE SOUL, 1995.
Transcription by Duncan Koerber <e0fqlagm@credit.erin.utoronto.ca>
I love the main riff of this song. It's fun to play. This is the
song rumoured to be about Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins.
The lyrics certainly are appropriate.
There's two different "versions" of this riff in the song.

I've tabbed the chord formation and progression, if you want the
"chuka-chuka" sound of the guitar in the left channel, hit the muted G B
and E strings (that's the way I like it). Of course, to get the rhythm
right listen to the cd. I like to play the first four or six strums as
downstrokes only and then do alternate (up and down) strumming for the rest
of the riff. It gives it a kinda funky feel rather than a metal feel.
DROP-D tuning.
MAIN RIFF:
E----------------------------------
B----------------------------------
G----------------------------------
D--5-5/8--8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-10-8---
A--5-5/8--8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-10-8---
D--5-5/8--8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-10-8---
RIFF TWO:
E--x-8--x-x-8--x-x-8--x-x-8--x-x--- Well, I'd tab out all eight required
B--x-10-x-x-10-x-x-10-x-x-10-x-x--- but four is enough. The x's
G--x-10-x-x-10-x-x-10-x-x-10-x-x--- mean hit the muted strings.
D--x-10-x-x-10-x-x-10-x-x-10-x-x--- This part relies on that effect.
A--x-8--x-x-8--x-x-8--x-x-8--x-x---
D--x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x---
MAIN RIFF
Beggar's Description, of what I've been missing
exploit your position, don't think I didn't listen
RIFF TWO
hey I hope your feeling, a little better now

Success is so tragic, pain is your gadget
your tongue is just lashing, your bitching by habit
RIFF TWO
hey, I hope you're feeling, a little purer now

RIFF TWO
Hey, I hope you're feeling, securer now

help me to see, the good you have planned

hey, I want to tell you, I think you're special now

**NOTE: in the verses, use barre chords.. in the chorus, use the open
fingerings... that's how it sounded when i heard it.. i'll also give you
a more powerful-sounding chorus...
***NOTE: if no symphony is available for your rendition, keyboards work

nicely... :)
VERSE I
D A G A
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City.
And I don't know why.
Verse II
D A G A
Are we listening?
Hymns of offering
Have we eyes to see
That love is gathering?
A
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
G
Into one....Into one.
CHORUS
D A
So I walk upon high
G
And I step to the edge
D
To see my world below.
A
And I laugh at myself
C
While the tears roll down.
G
'Cause it's the world I know.
D
It's the world I know.
VERSE III (look at end of Verse I)

Sittin alone in New York City.
Don't know why.
CHORUS (check out the first chorus)

So I walk upon high
to see my world below.
Yeah, I walk upon high
To see my world below
at the end when the symphony kicks in, Childress (i think) is

arpeggiating a D, and throwing in the 4th sometimes (Dsus4)
and the song ends on a Dsus4...
(i've only heard the song twice on MTV, and at the time i didn't have my
guitar.. i had to get home and play from memory... )

Well I definitely think this song is overplayed, but I have found a new
respect for Collective Soul after I figured out the opening riff to this
song. I think it is a great progression. I borrowed the lyrics from World
I Know tablulation by Scott the guitar freak and Chad Hanley. I don't
think their opening is accurate, it actually starts with a Bm progression
like this...

Subject: TAB: The World I Know by Collective Soul
Transcribed by Nate Kohl
This is a slightly different version than the others I have seen posted -
it is in a different key, but capo should take care of that. It sounds
better than plain chords.
Intro -
E-|--0----0---0---0--
B-|--8----3---5---7--
G-|--0----0---0---0--
D-|--9----4---5---7--
A-|--7----2---3---5--
E-|--0---------------
Play the above with "Has our consience shown...Has the sweet breeze blown..."
When you reach "I drink myself of newfound pity..." change to a D - C
progression, then jump back into the above pattern for the second verse.
Chorus -
G - D - C - G "So I walk up on high..."
G - D - F - C - G "And I laugh at myself...as the tears roll down.."
The ending is G - D - C - D, but is instrumental so it needs more than

just chords...
And that is it! The only tricky thing is getting the strumming right and
adding as many notes to synthesize a string quartet as possible. For the
tabbed struming above, it is easiest just to use the same finger
positions, and slide down and up the frets.

I'm sure everything is correct except FILL B. It's hard to hear that
bit but I play it as listed. CS have three guitars playing this baby
but it really isn't needed, so I didn't split it into Guitar1, 2, 3.
This a cool song, and I've heard Ed play it acoustically all by himself
and it was even better.

There is another tab I saw that was pobably done by

EDWYN COLLINS: A GIRL LIKE YOU
Here is a song by Edwyn Collins, and I thought that was a good enough
reason for me to send these things I wrote down (so that everybody
can enjoy a brilliant song). I hope that you enjoy.
About tabulatures: I am not good with solos, but I tried to

do my best. I don't know the right keys for the different things
in solos so I just made up the few keys I needed. I hope you find
them logical (=easy, in most cases).
Tabhelp: / =Slide up (ex: 5/6 =Slide up from 5th to 6th fret)

\ =Slide down (ex: 5\6 =Slide down from...)
^ =Bend up (ex: 5^« =Bend up a half note)
... =Hold until the next note appears on the line

And feather canyons everywhere:

I've looked at clouds that way.

But now they only block the sun,

They rains and snow on everyone.

So many things I could have done,

But clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
C G C G
From up and down, and still somehow
b C G
It's clouds' illusions I recall
G C G e C G
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,

The dizzy, dancing way you feel,
When every fairy tale comes real:
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show,
You leave them, laughing as you go.
And if you care, don't let them know.
Don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,

From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud,

To say, "I love you" right out loud;
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds;
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange.
They shake their heads, they say I've changed.
But something's lost and something's gained
In living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all.

Both Sides of the Story (From the album "Both Sides")

-----------------------
CAPO on the FIRST FRET!
Intro: G D C G
Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of town

G C
It waits in the darkness with a weapon to cut somebody down

G C
Sleeping with an empty bottle is a sad and empty-hearted man

G C
He needs a job with a little respect so he could get out while he can
G C
Oh we always need to hear both sides of the story

D2 C G
We always need to hear both sides of the story...both sides of the story
D2 C G
Neighborhood peace is shattered, it's the middle of the night

Young faces hide in the shadows while they watch their mother and father fight
He says she's been unfaithful. She says her love for him is gone.
And the brother shrugs to his sister and says
"looks like it's just us from now on"

We need to hear both sides of the story...both sides of the story
The lights are all on, the world is watching now. People looking for truth,
C G C
We must have faith now. Be sure, before we close our eyes

G Am Em Am
Walk away from here...'til you hear both sides...no no no no

Em Am Em G
Here we are all gathered in what seems to be the center of the storm.
Neighbors once friendly now stand inside of the line that has been drawn.
They've been fighting here for years, but now there's killing on the street.
While small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat.

D2 C G
The lights are all on, the world is watching now. People looking for truth,
we must have faith now. Be sure, before we close our eyes
Walk away from here...'til you see both sides...oh no no no
White man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world.
Ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wall.
He says "would you respect me, if I didn't have this gun?
'Cause without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one."
Oh we always need to hear both sides of the story..both sides of the story
D2 C G
Oh both sides of the story.....yes, both sides of the story
Oh both sides of the story.....both sides of the story
Both sides of the story..... Both sides both sides of the story....
Both sides of the story..... Both sides both sides of the story yeah....

From: LIVENGOOD.MIKE@A1GW.GENE.COM (Mike Livengood)
For all the mystery and tension in this tune, it's very simple. When I play it
on keyboards I keep a low "D" epressed throughout the song. (Actually I put a
role of pennies on the key). I actually play the keyboard and guitar lines at
the same time using a volume pedal on my guitar.
The main Dm chord progression doesn't change throughout the song. Pick it up a
little when the drums come in and go crazy.
In The Air Tonight

-Phil Collins
Intro: Keyboard and guitar fills (Dm-C-Bb-C)
Dm C Bb C
I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord...
Dm C Bb C
I've been waiting for this moment..for all my life..oh lord...
Dm C Bb C
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight..oh lord?
Dm
Oh lord...
Well when you told me you were drowning...

I would not lend a hand...
I've seen your face before my friend...
But I don't know if you kow who I am...
But I was there and I saw what you did...
Saw it with my own two eyes...
So you can wipe off that grin...I know where you've been...
It's all been a pack of lies...

Oh lord...
Well I remember...
I remember don't worry...
How could I ever forget?
It's the first time...and the last time we ever met...
But I know the reason why you keep this silence up...
No you don't fool me...
For the hurt doesn't show...
But the pain still grows..
Some stranger to you and me...
(Drum fill) (bass enters)

A dit c'est parce que j'm'appelle Julie
J'ai dit ah oui, ah bon!
A m'a demande si c'etait

La premiere fois que j'rencontrais
Une Julie aux cheveux noirs
J'avoue qu'c'est'a premiere fois a soir
A dit: "Julie ca va mieux pour les blondes j'trouve"
Pantoute!

Y'a dit :"Voyons ma p'tie Julie
T'es prends ben vieux tes p'tits amis!"
J'ai dit:"Ben toe mon vieux tabarnouche, hein!"
refrain
Et pis un beau soir de printemps

Julie pleurait sur le divan
Ses larmes ont coule j'usqu'a moe
Si bien que j'me suis reveille
J'ai dit: "Voyons Julie la!"
"Que c'est qu'y'a ?"
Elle a nage jusqu'a mon lit

J'ai cru qu'elle allait se noyer
A m'dit:"Ecoute-moi cheri
Tu sais je n'veux pas te quitter"
J'ai dit "Ben oui! Ben non!
Ben oui! Ben oui! Ben non! "
refrain
Aujourd'hui Julie a vingt ans

Et est mariee depuis deux ans
Avec un gars d'Chicoutimi
J'vous dit qu'y'a un maudit bel accent
J'ai dit: "Teindu? Teindu quoi?"
Elle a fait teindre ses beaux cheveux

Tendus platine comme Marilyn
On s'est parle une coup'e de fois
Au telephone c'etait ben l'fun

Here's a chord-melody arrangement of the head to ``Giant Steps''

by John Coltrane. Most of the chord voicings have been opened to
mostly fourth, tritone, and fifth intervals (so-called ``quartal
harmony''), giving a very nice ambiguous sound. These voicings are
easy to finger on the guitar and sound good. I give the chord names
in two forms: a name for a simple ``closed'' voicing, (top) and a name
for the more open or extended voicing (bottom).

To tie in with the discussion of picking technique, I pick these as

block chords using either all four fingers or the first three fingers
(no thumb, no arpeggiation). When I pick stuff like this, I do not
anchor my right hand at all, and I play over the sound hole. I can't
really solo over these changes(!), but it's fun just to play the head.
Enjoy

Notes: Please forgive some of my chord names. I have no idea what

the proper names should be. Also, there is a lot of hammering-on
and pulling-off going on throughout the song, which I haven't
bothered to show here, but which, if you watch her ACL video,
you will quickly pick up. I don't think listening to her CD
will help much with all the background instruments drowning
out her guitar sound.
Intro: G/D G D G G/D G D A D
(repeat same progression throughout each verse)
Words:
1: As a little girl I came down to the water

With a little stone in my hand
It would shimmer and sing and we knew everything
As a little girl I came down
2: But in a little while I got steeped in authority

Heaven only knows what went wrong
There is nothing so cruel than to bury that jewel
When it was mine all along, I'm gonna find it
(Bridge)
A C A D C D
You're shining, I can see you
A C A D C D
You're smiling, that's enough
A C A D G D G G/D D
I'm holding on to you, like a diamond in the rough
3: Every now and then I can see that I'm getting somewhere
Where I have to go is so deep
I was angry back then and you know I still am
I have lost too much sleep, but I'm gonna find it
(repeat Refrain)
Like a diamond in the rough
4: In my dreams I go down by the water

With a little girl in my arms
And we shimmer and sing, and we know everything
In my dreams I go down
(Bridge)
Like a diamond in the rough

I Don't Know Why

by Shawn Colvin
as transcribed by R.Kilby (arkay@connectnet.com)
Capo 2nd Fret (key of E)
D G A D D/F# G D
I don't know why the sky is so blue.
A7 C+9 G Em A7 G
And I don't know why I'm so in love with you.
D/F# Bm7 A Em7 A7

But if there were no music, then I would not get through.
D G A G D
And I don't know why I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why, but somewhere dreams come true.

And I don't know where, but there'll be a place for you.
And every time you look that way, I would lay down my life for you.
I don't know why, I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why, but some will make you cry.

And I don't know how, but I will get you by, I will try.
They're not trying to cause you pain, they're just afraid of loving you.
I don't know why, I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why, the trees grow so tall.

And I don't know why I don't know anything at all.
But of there were no music, then I would not get through.
I don't know why I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why I know these things, but I do.

Here's someone who really loves you
Don't ever go away
That's what these walls would say

Leaves were falling, just like embers,
E E7 A
In colors- red and gold, they set us on fire
Asus2 E Esus4 E
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes

CHOURUS: Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
A Asus2 E B7 E Esus E Esus4

Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
Now I am guilty of something...

I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love
CHORUS
And then you've asked me...just to leave you

To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I've already had.

Round of Blues (Shawn Colvin - Larry Klein)
I was watching Shawn Colvin on Austin City Limits and was able to figure
out Round of Blues, which, granted, wasn't all that hard. She plays it
capoed at the 6th fret. At that key, the chords for the verses and
bridge are just C, D, and G and for the chorus are F, G, and C. (I
didn't notice if the other players were capoed; I was too busy paying
attention to what she was doing.)
capo 6th fret
C D G
Here we go again
C D G
Another round of blues
C D G
Several miles ago
C D G
I set down my angel shoes
On a lost highway
For a better view
Now in my mind's eye
All roads lead to you
Chorus:
F
So wherever you go
G C
You better take care of me
F
This time
G C
If you're gonna go
F G C
Remember me and all
F
This time
We had our bitter cheer

And sweet sorrow
We lost a lot today
We get it back tomorrow
I hear the sound of wheels
I know the rainbow's end
I see lights in a fat city
I feel love again
Chorus
Bridge:
C
All this time
G
I been makin' deals
D
Shades of black and white
G
On a Hollywood reel
C
All this time
G
I been missing
D
Something so real, so real
C
All this time
G
I been a face in a crowd
D
Now I'm living in color
G
And laughing out loud
C
All these names
G
For just foolin' around
D
It's a new breakthrough
It's an old breakdown
We smoked a lot of hope

We did our cryin', too
We're finally waking up
To what a real love can do
Down a lost highway
Under the twilight moon
A chorus in your eyes
Chorus
C
We had all
F
This time
C
We had all
F
This time
(Lyrics from cd-sleeve)
Personally, I like the sound when I capo on the 1st fret and transpose
it down, which makes the chords F, G, and C (verses and bridge)
and Bb, C, and F (chorus), i.e.,
capo 1st fret
F G C
Here we go again
F G C
...
Chorus:
Bb
So wherever you go
C F
You better take care of me
Bb
This time
C F
If you're gonna go
...
Bridge:
F
All this time
C
I been makin' deals
G
Shades of black and white
C
On a Hollywood reel
F
All this time
C
I been missing
G
Something so real, so real

Here's the intro: there's a synth chord that sustains for a while, and then you
play (remembering the capo) the following twice, with some syncopation on the last part the second
time
---------------------9-9--
-------6h7-----------6-6--
-------8---8-6-------7-7--
--8-8--8---8-8-9-9-9-9-9--
--6-6--6---6-6------------
--------------------------
The last chord is (I think) Fdim(9), which is the root, minor third, diminished 5th, and major 9th
intervals. This chord is used in other places throughout the rest of the song.
|>
|> C D G
|> Here we go again
|> C D G
|> Another round of blues
|> C D G
|> Several miles ago
|> C D G
|> I set down my angel shoes
The following section uses the C-D-Em chord progression, _not_ C-D-G!!!!!
|> On a lost highway

|> For a better view
|> Now in my mind's eye
This last line sits on one chord, which is a form of C(9)/G, played as
--6--
--7--
--6--
--6--
--9--
--9--
|> All roads lead to you

|>
|> Chorus:
|> F
|> So wherever you go
|> G C
|> You better take care of me
|> F
|> This time
|> G C
|> If you're gonna go
|> F G C
|> Remember me and all
|> F
|> This time
|>
Try this for the chorus instead:
C/G Fdim(9)
So wherever you go
G Am
You'd better take care of me
Fdim(9)
This time
Fdim(9)/E Dm
If you're gonna go
G Am
Remember me and all
Fdim(9)
This time
Play the Fdim(9)/E as
--9--
--6--
--7--
--8--
-----

-----big cut right here - play verse and chorus as above-----

The rest of the song is repeats of the above verses and chorus, so play them accordingly.

Subject: Re: REQ: Satin Sheets
Okay, here it is. This is the Shawn Colvin version.
Tuning - Open G (DGDGBD low to high).
Shawns version is capoed on the 5th fret, Willis is un-capoed.

You have to play around with a lot of hammerons to get the feel of this
one (especially between the G and G*).
Chords -
G X00000
G* X02010
D7 020210
F6/9 303010
Cadd2 X5X050
Gm/Bf X3X030
A7add4 X2X020
Afmaj7f5 X1X010
G G* D7
I wish I was a millionaire I'd play rock music and grow long hair
F6/9 G
I tell ys boys, I'd buy a new Rolls Royce
D7
Pretty people come to me, I'd give em all the third degree
F6/9 G
I'd give em Satin Sheets, I'd keep em off the streets
D7 F6/9
G
Doo Doo___Doo doo Doo_____doo doo.
(Chorus)
D7 G
Hallelujah Whats it to ya
D7 G
Praise the Lord and pass the mescaline
D7 G
Praise Jehovah He'll come over
D7
Csus2
Soon as you see me boogie-woogie cross the silver screen
(interlude)
Gm/Bf A7add4 Afmaj7f5
and so on.
The last chord is just a full harmonic on the 12th fret.
BTW, If anybody's got chords or TAB to Angel Eyes by Willis Alan Ramsey,
it would be appreciated.
Enjoy,
Keith

Date: Sun, 10 Oct 1993 16:37:51 -0500 (CDT)
Mime-Version: 1.0
Not transcribed or type in by me, but could you please add this
to the ftp archives?
Here's the rendition of the song as played on the ACL show last year, and it
follows Shawn's guitar style very closely. Luckily,
I taped it and the camera man was nice enough to focus on her left hand
for much of the set. Please excuse my chord names, as I have little knowledge
of musical theory or chord nomenclature.

Tumbling and falling down the avalanche Hmmmmmmmm
A# G C1-C2 D
But I will raise up my voice into the void
A# Em Am
You have left me nowhere to go
2:
I love you so much and it's so bizzare

A mystery that goes on and on and on
It is the best thing and the very most hard
And we don't get along
After countless appeals, we keep spinning our wheels
On this mountain of new fallen snow
So I let go the catch and we're over the edge
I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
(guitar interlude: Am D G/D D G/D Am)
3:
Sometimes you make me loose my will to live

And just become a beacon for your soul
But the past is stronger than my will to forgive
Forgive you or myself, I don't know
Tumblin' and fallin' down the avalanche Hmmmmmmmm
So be quiet tonight, be sure to step lightly

On this mountain of new fallen snow
But I will raise up my voice into the void
(Guitar Ending:) heavy strumming on D/E chord,

then single slow strum on D* chord

Oh, you're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing

Staying far behind without you
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying
You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to
I will I look for you in Honolulu, San Francisco, Ashtabula

You're gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I'll see you in the skies above, in the tall grass and the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome

Subject: CRD : Sail on - The Commodores
These are simple chords to the song. I'd really appreciate someone filling
in the correct chords (ie. perhaps a D7 or D/A instead of a simple D).
I couldn't figure out the change to a different scale in the last part of
the song.

I'm looking for a good time
Sail on down the line

Funny how the time can go
Friends says they told me so but it doesn't matter
It was plain to see
That a small town boy like me
Just wasn't your cup of tea
I was wishful thinking
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy

And you gave me nothing in return
You know it ain't so hard to say
Would you please just go away
I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of being used
I want everyone to know
I'm looking for a good time
Good time
(The scale changes here but to what, I don't know)
Sail on honey
Good times never felt so good

G D7
1. Je m'souviens qu'ma mere m'aimait
G B7
Et je suis aux galeres
Em B7
Je m'souviens qu'ma mere m'disait
Em D
Mais je n'ai pas cru ma mere
2. Ne traine pas dans les ruisseaux

T'bats pas comme un sauvage
T'amuse pas comme les oiseaux
Elle me disait d'etre sage
3. J'ai pas tue, j'ai pas vole

J'voulais courir ma chance
J'ai pas tue, j'ai pas vole
J'voulais qu'chaque jour soit Dimanche
4. Je m'souviens qu'ma mere pleurait

Des que j'passais la porte
Je m'souviens comme elle pleurait
Elle voulait pas que je sorte
5. Toujours, toujours elle disait

T'en vas pas chez les filles
N'fais donc pas toujours c'qu'i't'plait
Dans les prisons 'y a des grilles
6. J'ai pas tue, j'ai pas vole

Mais j'ai cru Madeleine
J'ai pas tue, j'ai pas vole
J'voulais pas lui faire de peine
7. Je m'souviens qu'ma mere disait

Suis pas les bohemiennes
Je m'souviens comme elle disait
On ramasse les gens qui trainent
8. Un jour les soldats du roi

T'emmen'ront aux galeres
Tu t'en iras trois par trois
Comme ils ont emmene ton pere
9. Tu auras la tete rasee

On te mettra des chaines
T'en auras les reins brises
Et moi j'en mourrai de peine
10.Toujours toujours tu ram'ras

Quand tu s'ras aux galeres
Toujours toujours tu ram'ras
Tu pens'ras p't-etre a ta mere
11.J'ai pas tue, j'ai pas vole

Mais j'ai pas cru ma mere
Et je m'souviens comme elle m'aimait
Pendant que j'rame aux galeres

Tu che sei nata dove c'e' sempre il sole

sopra una scoglio che ci si puo' tuffare

e quel sole ce l'hai dentro al cuore

sole di primavera

su quello scoglio a maggio e' nato un fiore.
G Cadd7 D
E ti ricordi c'era il paese in festa
Am D G
tutti ubriachi di canzoni e di allegria
Em Bm7
e pensavo che su quella sabbia
Cadd7 D
forse sei nata tu
G Cadd7 D G
o a casa di mio fratello non ricordo piu'.
Am G D
E ci hai visto su dal cielo
Em D
ci hai trovato e piano piano sei venuta giu'
Am G D
un passaggio da un gabbiano
Em D
ti ha posata su uno scoglio ed eri tu.
(same as above)
Ma che bel sogno era Maggio e c'era caldo

noi sulla spiaggia vuota ad aspettare
e tu mi dicevi guarda, guarda su quel gabbiano
stammi vicino e prendimi la mano.
E ci hai visto su dal cielo

ci hai trovato e piano piano sei venuta giu'
un passaggio da un gabbiano
ti ha posato su uno scoglio ed eri tu.

for this one, I put alot of emphasis on the bass notes

I havent spent years on it or anything but this is
how I think it might go:
CARRY ME AWAY- Concrete Blonde
Am Em C G Am
Today I went and bought myself a bottle
G Am
Like we used to do, reminded me of you.
Am Em C G Am
Today I saw a train roll by the river
G Am
Blowing off its steam, reminded me of me
G Am
That's when I threw the bottle in the river,
G Am G C Em
That's when I started running for the train.
Am Em C G Am
There's nothing that you need I cant deliver
G Am
Carry me away, carry me away
Am Em C G
Think it's seven or nine California time
Am G
He who said he(it) was a small one(world) was either a liar or a fool,
'cos its not true.
Am Em C G
And the promises we make are as easy to break
Am
As the plastic people on a wedding cake
G Am
So says you, to know I do.
For the next part, play G and Am like this:

(I saw him do it this way in concert)

play the G and C bass notes with your ring finger
G N.C. Am
I hear you thinking
G N.C. Am G C Em
From far away
I just a-keep-on lyin' and cryin' and tryin' and drinkin'

c#sus2until next verse.
Chorus:
Everybody knows
Emaj9 b6, b6sus2, b
Everybody knows
c#sus2
that's the way it goes
bsus2
Everybody knows
The solo follows the chorus' pattern. It's practically the same thing,
more of a semi-bridge than a solo. Apply these progressions to all chori
and verses and that should do it.

The chord following c#sus2 is a b6sus2, not bsus2. Sorry.

Hi there. I worked this out myself so its not 100% guaranteed but
I think its pretty right, as for the lyrics.. they are off the top of my
head.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY - by Concrete Blonde

-------------- off the album 'Free'
F Am
Outside in the hall there's a cat-fight
Bb C
Its just after midnight, I guess I'll be alright
Laying out on the floor, drunk and poor.

How much longer, how much more.
Oh rock me to sleep, strong and deep.

Screaming cats they give me the creeps
But aside from all that I feel no pain,

Staring up at the ceiling stains.
Bb F
Neon in the window,
Bb F
Sirens far away,
Bb F
News on the radio
Gm Bb F
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
Well the cat next door, this whole floor,

I swear they're out to drive me crazy.
But not right now, I'm high as a cloud,

I'm soft and grey and lazy.
Smoking out the window,

Feeling far away,
News on the radio
(solo I think about now)
Throw me out the window

Somewhere far away
News on the radio
there you go, if anything is wrong with it I will repost

.. I use 6th string roots for some of the verses to get that muting.

i know Gm is probably the "correct" chord musically, but

i think it's just a G.. anyway, the solo is something like:

Jenny I Read - By Concrete Blonde

off the album Mexican Moon
Riff A:

Riff B:

Riff A and Riff B repeat through most of the song, but then
you have a fair bit of distorted guitar, I'm not too sure
about this but I play mostly variations on the two riffs. eg
Riff C:
E||-----------------------||
B||-----------------------||
G||o-5--------5----------o||
D||o-5--------6----------o||
A||-----------------------||
E||-----------------------||

those things under the bar are a poor effort at trying to say
push down on the tremolo bar as you strike the notes and then release
I don't know what Jim actually plays, theres a lot of distortion and wah
floating around but it sounds ok.
The chords played over "And all the angry young boys.." gave me trouble
and I dont think I was ever happy with anything I thought might fit, if
anyone works out anything decent, please let me know, for those with no
idea, just mess around with some power chords maybe.
The thing I like most about this song is the lyrics, so here is my
crack at them:
Jenny I Read
Jenny I read, something you said about rock and roll and life and death
Jenny I read they carred you home, broken, beaten, all alone
Oh, Jenny you said, Jenny you thought, give them all that they want,
everything that you got.
Oh, but Jenny, here it's a wicked city when you're young, stupid and pretty.
And all the angry young boys, (and all the angry young girls) \
They're making angry loud noises (????????) / X2
"Jenny" they cried. "Jenny" they screamed. Your picture in every magazine.
Yeah, you wanted it all but the American dream was nothing to write home about.
She was the next big thing, and the telephone was ringing, all the times you
were wined and dined every night.
Then one day it was over and where are you now, I wonder.
And all the angry young boys......
solo:
Superstar, thats what you are
And all the angry young boys.......
Behind there fingers,eyes aside, in shocked winking whispers they say

"Its her, it is her, what happened to her?" She knows this and she smiles
for she has the miles and the memories all to herself.
Everything in between then and now, and all her ???? and everything
inbetween now and then. And all they have are pictures, pictures..
boy! that took longer than I anticipated! I had better improve my typing.
More Concrete Blonde tomorrow (time permitting)

Joey - Concrete blonde
This is what I have figured out watching this song on MTV. I

don't think this is totally right, but sounds pretty good to me. As
usual, any comments, suggestions and corrections are welcome. Send them
to bsiu@ing.puc.cl.
The C chord sounds better as C/G (332010).
C Am C G
Joey, baby - don't get crazy
C Am C Em
Detours, fences...I get defensive
G Em
I know you've heard it all before
G Em
So I don't say it anymore
C
I just stand by and let you
Am (or G?)
Fight your secret war
G Em
And though I used to wonder why
G Em
I used to cry till I was dry
C Am (or G?)
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
C D Em
Oh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I
Joey, honey - I got some money

All is forgiven. Listen, listen
But if I seem to be confused

And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before
And I don't want to close the door
And if you're somewhere out there
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore
And if I seem to be confused

And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But if it's love you're looking for
Then I can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk and
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore
Angry anymore, angry anymore

I have been trying to work out some songs and I posted a few a while ago,
If you or anyone else out there could help me work some stuff out that
would be cool (the chords to the chorus of Rain would be cool. I know
the intro) Failing that, just tell me any favourites and if I know them
I'll send them to you
Heres one for today off 'FREE'. This is what I posted a while ago,
I think I would like to add to it a little but that will have to wait
LITTLE CONVERSATIONS by Concrete Blonde

-------------------- off the album FREE
transcribed by ericb@ecr.mu.oz.au
Heres a song I think sounds pretty good on an accoustic

I show in tab how to play the C-G-Am pattern in the verses
Use your ring finger to do the C and G bass notes in the Am part
I used to think he only was playing C bass notes but I gave it
another listen to last night and I think he throws the odd
G-bass note in
I'm not too sure about the fills but theyre close enough to
keep me happy.

They leave me all in pieces
You know theres never time enough
Its like a book with missing pages
A story incomplete
Its like a painting left unfinished
It feels like not enough to eat - starving..
You know these little conversations

Well for me they'll never do
Now what am I supposed to do
With broken sentences of you
I'll stay in my corner
Cos thats all that I can do
Let the others think for me

intro: Am

They say I maybe crazy
Am F G
I only say Ive had my fill
Am F
They say I'll throw it all away
G
I probably will
They'll only give you what you're taking

But lately I've been unfulfilled
They say I'll probably blow it off someday
I probably will
The way they talk about each other

The way they talk about themselves
Well they could talk, talk, talk forever
And they probably will
You know they probably will
( Coconut shell solo )
Now I'm noy really bitter

You know Im just a little chilled
They say that things can just get better
And they probably will
And they will only make us stronger

If they should try to keep us still
And we could rise and take it all someday
We probably will
The way they talk about each other

The way you talk about yourselves
Well you can talk, talk, talk forever
And you probably will
You know you probably will

Oh Kim, your diary said-

The voices calling you from the edge.
They finally called you..Away-
You know I hear them too, they're telling me to stay.
Oh Kim, remember when

we had a million plans and we believed them.
Angry words, ring in my head
I'd give every song I got in me to get you back again.

She said, I could

She said hold on, hold out

She said, it's right

She said hold on, hold out

cause I know that you can fight
I know you can.

You're right again
There is an easy way

It may be all I have,

-a Nick Cave cover
Starts out with a G strummed up and then...
G D C G D
(SW) Come sail your ships around me and burn your bridges down
G D C G D
We make a little history baby, everytime you come around
G D C G D
Come lose your thoughts upon me, and let your hair hang down
G D C G D
You are a little mystery baby, everytime you call around
C G D
We talk about it all night long
(ALL... NIGHT LONG)

And we define our moral ground
(OH...YEAH...)

(*both) But when I crawl into your arms, everything, it comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down

Well I must remove your wings, and you, you must try and fly

Nice tune..
This song is just Eb, Bb, Cm, and Ab repeating over and over,
all the way through.
To play like on the cd play this way:
Capo on first fret:

G-|-------2-|-------2-|---------|---------|

E-|---------|---------|---------|-3-------|
If you happen to have this live as a bootleg or a B-side or

something... if Jim is doing an accoustic version it would be:
C, G, Am, F all the way through.
E-|-----0---|---------|---------|---------|
B-|-----1---|-----0---|-----1---|-----1---|

something like that anyway.. You might want to

add a bit of palm muting for the quieter parts

Subject: TAB: Concrete Blonde-When You Smile
Hi folks,
Welcome to todays edition of
"Conrete Blonde for the practicing musician"
This is my interpretation of "When You Smile" off the album

"Mexican Moon" so there are no guarantees but it sounds good
to me.
WHEN YOU SMILE

--------------
N.C.
I dreamed last night I was born a hundred.....
... 'cos I could lose everything in a minute or two, yeah
Ax4
A G A A
Its not ????? you can stop the years behind..
The A and G above are played something like this:
A G
E|----------------| E|----------------|
B|----------------| B|----------------|
G|----------------| G|----------------|
D|-----7-5--------| D|-------5--------|
A|---7------------| A|---5------------|
E|-5--------------| E|-3---3----------|
the A and G repeat over much of the song.
chorus: (With Distortion)

D5 A5 C5 G5
When you smile, I don't know what to do
D5 A5 C5 G5
Cos I could lose everything in a minute or two
A5 C5 E5 G5
And it seems like the end of the world
A(as in the intro)
When you smile..
for those that dont know, D5,A5,C5,etc are just

power chords: D5 x577xx
A5 577xxx
C5 x355xx
G5 355xxx
E5 022xxx
In the chorus Jim sometimes hits the open strings

in his trasnsitions from one chord to another,eg:
D5 A5
E|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|-7--7---------------|
D|-7--7------7--7-----|
A|-5--5------7--7-----|
E|---------0-5--5-----|
^

It doesnt look like much
but it adds a bit of oomph!
Happy playing everyone.

Bye for now

I went to school with some of these fellas
They had money and I was jealous
I didn't know then what I know now
G
Daddy'd say "you can't judge a book by looking at its cover
C D
It's what's inside that really matters
C G
C.Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
D
He said some things just glitter and shine
C D C G
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
C G
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
2.I left home right out of high school

Bought me a big car thought I was real cool
Cruisin' around the old neighborhood
I'd see Dad after church on Sunday
I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday
He just said no, I never understood
He asked me how I bought it I told him on credit

Daddy just smiled I'll never forget it
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
C G
It took a while but now I'm grown
C G
I've settled down with kids of my own
C
The more I give them
D
The more they want
3.Daddy left us last November
I don't remember him ever looking better
All laid out in his Sunday best
I'm sure instead of all the attention
All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
A simple man simply laid to rest
As they drove him away in that big Cadillac

With a tear in my eye I had to laugh
C.Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

He said some things just glitter and shine
Just this once I hope Daddy enjoyed the ride
'Cause Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
No my Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
C

Jesus and Mama

performed by Confederate Railroad on self-titled album
[Intro]
GCGC
G
1.I made a wish upon a star
C
I could have a brand new car
G
Got tired of wishing
C
So I stole one
G
Seventeen and knew it all
C
My dreams were big but my thoughts were small
G
So many roads somehow I chose
C D
The wrong one
G
C.But Jesus and mama always loved me
C
Even when the devil took control
G C
Jesus and mama always loved me
D
This I know
2.I felt tried most all my life

Found new kinds of lows and highs
Never been a husband but I had a lot of wives
To hold me
Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told

Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode
A rainbow chaser hungry for gold
And still searchin'
Repeat Chorus
3.I wish mom could see me now

And how I've turned it all around
Lately I've been going down
The right road
Life's a picture that you paint
With blues and grays and cans of canvas
Heaven knows I'm not a saint
But I know
Repeat Chorus

**************** NOTORIOUS *****************
Written and performed by Confederate Railroad.
Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1:
E
Riding North on Interstate 75
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side

A E
And a pistol that he used to pave the way
B7
Down the long black stretches of a dark highway
Verse 2:
E
Ray bought his future with a pound of lead
When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
A E
That kid should have put the money in the sack
B7
But he didn't and now there ain't no turning back
Chorus 1:
A E
He's a desperate rider, he's a Jesse James
A E
The best that he could hope for is a household name
A E
There ain't nobody that a man can trust
B7 E
When all his headlines read, notorious
A E
There ain't nobody that a man can trust
B7 E
When all his headlines read, notorious
Verse 3:
E
They pulled out of ? about12 o'clock
Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block
A E
Ray killed the motor at the county line
B7
Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost tag sign
Verse 4:
E
She would never ask what the boy had done
But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
A E
Her momma raised her to be loyal and true
B7
And she figured that's the least that she could do
Chorus 2:
A E
She was lost and lonely on a midnight ride
A E
Reluctant Bonnie to a poorman's Clyde
A E
It ain't too easy when the man you love
B7 E
Has got a reputation that's notorious
A E
It ain't too easy when the man you love
B7 E
Has got a reputation that's notorious
Verse 5:
E
They were just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs

A E
Ray popped that Firebird into overdrive
B7
And swore he'd never let them take him alive
Chorus 3:
A E
He was a desperate rider, he was Jesse James
A E
The best that he'd ever hope for was a household name
A E
The morning papers didn't say too much
B7 E
But his obituairy read, notorious
A E
The caption by his picture didn't say too much
B7 E
A E
The caption by his picture didn't say too much
B7 E

The night I fell in love with the queen of Memphis
break ....

She show'd me things I'd never seen back there on that farm
She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dreams
A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen

SHE TOOK IT LIKE A MAN
written by: Paul Nelson, Danny Mayo, and Karen Staley

performed by Confederate Railroad on their self-titled album.
Intro
CDCD CCGG
C
1.I hated like the devil
G
To tell her we were through
C
I was sure it would break her heart
G
Tear her world in two
G
She is such a fragile thing
C
Lord, I hate to make her cry
G C
So I broke it to her gently
D C G
When I told her goodbye
C D
C.She cussed me like a sailor
C
Kicked a hole through the kitchen wall
G
She threw a fit and threw the phone
G C
Half-way down the hall
G
She said"I'll be down at the bar"
C D
Then I heard the front door slam
G
I guess all in all
C G CCGG
She took it like a man
2.I was thinking she'd reach out to me

And beg me not to go
Or run straight to her momma's
'Cause I'd hurt her so
Thought she'd be devastated

I had a tender moment plan
I didn't think that she could take it
But she took it like a man

I Don't Remember Loving You

(Harlan Howard & Bobby Braddock)
as recorded by John Conlee
G D G
I don't remember loving you
G
And I don't recall the things
D
You say you put me through
C
You tell me that you've had
G
A guilty conscience for so long
C
You say that you walked out on me
G
You say you did me wrong
D
Well, I just don't see how that could be true
G
'Cause I don't remember loving you

You might talk to my doctor
He drops by each day at two
I get a funny feeling
When I look into your eyes
There's something in your smile
That gives my stomach butterflies
You must look like someone I once knew
But I don't remember loving you
CHORUS:
D C G
D
I heard you mention children
C D
Did you say there's one or two?
C
You say I quit my job
G
And then I drank myself insane
C
You say that I ran down the highway
G
Screaming out your name
D
Well, that's not the sort of thing that I would do
G
No, I don't remember loving you

I absolutely positively
Know that can't be true
But everyone I know here in this place
Is really strange
If you'll hand me my crayons
I'll be glad to take your name
In case I run across that guy you knew
But I don't remeber loving you

someone requested this some time ago. as my transcription differs a bit

from the ones already at OLGA, i thought i'd post mine, too. i am not
quite sure about some of the details (for example with the first few notes
of the little 'solo' in the middle, i think he plays more than one
string there), but it should be close enough to start with.
like always, any comments and corrections are welcome.

This is a beautiful song from a group from my hometown of

Raleigh, NC. It is rumored to be about a young boy who
fell while riding his bike and landed in a deep ditch. A big rain came
and because he broke both of his legs, he could not get up from
the ditch and so the young boy drowned.

Here's the Connell's "Slackjawed" off the Ring album. I've put the
chords in the position I play them, but fool around with them. In
some places, walk ups or downs have been left out - they're really
easy to do though, once you play through a couple of times. Also,
lyrics might be suspect to misinterpetations.

TAB: Stone Cold Yesterday - The Connells

Words & Music by Mike Connell
Transcribed by Tom Parker
This version is meant for one guitar. On the album, Mike Connell (Gtr. 1)
plays straight chords, while George Huntley (Gtr. 2 & 3) provides some
tasty fills and a nice simple solo. I'll tab fills for Gtr. 2 later....
This song is most easily played w/ a capo on 2nd fret for Gtr. 1. All
tabs (except for solo) are for fingerings w/ capo. So what's written
as "A" sounds as a "B" chord, and so forth.

Waiting My Turn by The Connells
off of the One Simple World album
The song is actually played a half step lowere than shown here
but this is the easier way to play it. If you want to play
along then transpose it down a half step.
The opening riff is the bass notes G F# C C C D G

(If you can't get it listen to the song-- that goes for
everything here.)
This same riff is used for the verse but with chords.
Use a full G, full G with F# bass, Cadd9(?), and D
Full G:--o-- G with F#:--o-- Cadd9:--o--

--o-- --o-- --o--
----- ----- -----
----- ----- -o---
-o--- ----- --o--
--o-- -o--- -----
The chorus is C G D D C G C
The outro is G C D G C D which changes to Em C D G Em C D G

after the first time through
Here's the song:
G G/F# Cadd9 D
I asked her to stay here with me a while, Oh she said no
These words mean nothing these thoughts won't fly, O she said no
And where would this lead us to anyway, O she said no
Well I crossed the line in half the time and that's insane
O she said
C G D D C G D(not C as above)
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?
G G/F# C add9 D
So I asked her to come back some other time, O she said no
These words ring holloow these thoughts aren't mine, O she said-
C G D D C G C
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?
outro:
G C D G C D
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well maybe next time
G C D Em C D G
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well Maybe next time
Em C D G Em C D G
Maybe next time, I will learn, oh yes
Maybe next time I will learn.
Chorus
Outro
The first Em in the outro falls on the Maybe.
Good luck understanding this all. Thanks to Ben Foster for

figuring this out with me.
See ya,

Connels - Waiting My Turn off "One Simple Word"
Capo on 4rd fret and low E string tuned to D. Chords will be writtin as if the
4th fret was the nut (ie - a D is an F#) The idea during the verses is to let
the base note ring out over the D chord. I usually hit the bass note by itself
and then play the whole chord. Also, sometimes I leave out the F# on the
first string.

Blue Nose
Stompin' Tom Connors
Chorus:
My [C]father was a Blue Nose, and [F]his dad through and through,
My [G7]mother, she's a Blue Nose, and her mother's mother [C]too,
We live in Nova Scotia where the [F]sea and sky are blue,
And [G7]when they call us Blue Nose, we're goldang proud they [C]do.
>From Sydney to the Yarmouth town and [F]all points in between,

It's [G7]just a magic picture book, the like you never [C]seen,
And the pioneer who settled here and [F]gave this land a name,
If [G7]he was called Blue Nose, I wanna be called the [C]same.
For we [F]turned the wheels of industry before the days of oil,

When the Nova Scotia miners gave the world their precious [G7]coal,
And we [C]built the fastest sailing ship that [F]ever sailed the sea,
And if [G7]that was called Blue Nose, that's good enough for [C]me.
Chorus
Now [C]you might work in Halifax or [F]make Cape Breton steel,

But [G7]there's a bond between us all we understand and [C]feel,
And the world has seen our brothers who went [F]off to fight the war,
And if [G7]they were called Blue Nose, could we be something [C]more?
Down where the [F]seafoods are the finest, always grade A number one,
And the orchards of Anapolis, they're the second best to [G7]none,
We [C]love you, Nova Scotia, may you [F]stand forever proud,
And [G7]when they call you Blue Nose, just smile and take a [C]bow.
Chorus
We [C]live in Nova Scotia where the [F]sea and sky are blue,
And [G7]when they call us Blue Nose, we're goldang proud they [C]do.

Play to[A]gether where the [E7]Prairie Crocus [A]grows.

In the [A]evening when the sunset fades a[E]way,
And the [A]moon of golden glimmer, on the [D]wheat field seems to shimmer,
And the [A]night bird sings the [E7]closing of the [A]day.
Chorus
When you mention Manitoba, I'll be [D]mindful of the valleys,

And the [A]old brown hills calling me a[E]way,
Where the [A]favours of our giver, dwell a[D]mong the lakes and rivers,
>From the [A]U.S. line to the [E7]shores of Hudson [A]Bay.

Margo's Cargo - "Stompin" Tom Connors
C F C
Have you heard the news in Newfoundland, rolling around the rock
G
How Reggie brought for Margie home a cowsie dungsie clock
C F C
With Margie being a farm girl, she almost took a fit
F C G C
To find the cowsie dungsie clock was really made of it
F C
Now, the clock was from Toronto and her mind was soon made up
G
She said to Reggie "get the cow and load her on the truck"
C F C
We're heading for Ontario and we're off to make her big
F C G C
'Cause Margo's got the cargo, bye, and Reggie's got the rig
Chorus
C F
Reggie's got the rig, Reggie's got the rig
C G C
Margo's got the cargo, bye, and Reggie's got the rig
Now they're rolling thru the Maritimes and the truck was nearly full
The cow began to bawl, she was lonesome for her bull
The Mountie pulled them over "Is there something I can do?"
"Go right ahead sir" margie said, "climb in the back and moo!"
And when the got to Montreal they missed the Autoroute
But they found that everyone in town was glad to help them out
"The sooner you hit Toronto", they said, "the sonner you'll make it big"
'Cause Margo's got the cargo, bye, and Reggie's got the rig
Chorus
Well, I wish you could've been there at the corner of Queen and Yonge
When Margo found the company and she dumped her load of dung
And when she found the office, she was singin' and doin' a jig
'Cause Margo's got the Cargo, bye, and Reggie's got the rig
It was later in the evening when they heard from Mr. Judge
"I don't know what to give yous, but I'll never hold a grudge
I think a thousand dollars would be fair to hand you down
And thirty days of lodging will be free upon the town!"
Well Margo said to Reggie "what a helluva deal we struck"
We might have lost the cow, bye, but still we've got the truck
And now they're back in Newfoundland, they're loading up the pig
Margo's got the cargo, bye, and Reggie's got the rig

Marten Hartwell Story

Chorus:
[F]Lost up in [C]no-man's land
In the [G7}Northwest Terri[C]tories
They were [F]lost up in [C]no-man's land
The [G7]Marten Hartwell [C]story
The [G7]Marten Hartwell [C]story
On November the 8th of '72

[G7]North of the Arctic [C]Circle
A plane took off from Cambridge Bay
And the [G7]pilot's name was [C]Hartwell
He [F]had to make it to [C]Yellowknife
Al[G7]though the night was [C]stormin'
To [F]save the lives of an [C]Eskimo boy
And a [G7]pregnant Eskimo [C]woman.
"Oh, Mr. Hartwell," said the nurse

"I [G7]pray that you will [C]guide us
To save this woman with her child
And the [G7]boy with appendi[C]citis."
But the [F]wind, it blew and the [C]storm, it grew
And the [G7]signal of Kan[C]twoita <-- "Kantwoita"?
They [F]missed by miles and [C]flying wild
They [G7]crashed beside Lake [C]Hota.
Chorus
Now Judy Hill, the federal nurse

She [G7]never lived to [C]waken
And the life of the mother and her child
Were [G7]both soon after [C]taken
But the [F]pilot woke to [C]find himself
And the [G7]Eskimo boy were [C]livin'
[F]Left in pain be[C]side the plane
To [G7]search the skies of [C]heaven.
Day by day the pilot lay

With [G7]both his ankles [C]broken
And it took the lad everything he had
To G7keep the fire Cstokin'
While [F]in the sky too [C]far away
The [G7]rescue team were [C]seakin'
A [F]signal wave that [C]might be traced
The [G7]Hartwell's radio [C]beacon
Chorus
After nineteen days the aerial search

Was [G7]said to be com[C]pleted
Until someone cried, "They're still alive
And the [G7]search must be re[C]peated."
And the [F]day the beep was [C]finally heard
Was the [G7]day we'll all re[C]member
A [F]man was found [C]safe and sound
On the [G7]9th day of De[C]cember.
Hartwell said he should have died

At [G7]35 below [C]zero
And the reason Hartwell did survive
The [G7]boy had died a [C]hero,
"He [F]brought me food when I [C]couldn't move
While [G7]he himself grew [C]feeble
Yes, [F]Davy Koutouk [C]died a saint
And a [G7]credit to his [C]people
[F]Davy Koutouk [C]died a saint
And a [G7]credit to his [C]people."

[C]Nineteen [G7]scarlet [C]roses

The chaplain [G7]spread a[C]round
In the waters of [G7]Burrard [C]Inlet
In old Van[G7]couver [C]Town
Where the bridge came tumblin' down
When the [F]bridge came tumblin' down
[C]Nineteen men were drowned
In [G7]June or nineteen fifty-eight
In [F]old Vancouver [C]Town
There were seventy-[G7]nine men [C]working

To build this [G7]brand new [C]bridge
To span the [G7]Second [C]Narrows
And connect up [G7]with the [C]ridge
Till a big wind hit the bridge
And the [F]bridge came tumblin' down
And [C]nineteen men were drowned
And the [G7]medical corps couldn't be too sure

In among the [G7]twisted [C]girders

How last night [G7]he'd been [C]dreaming
And saw be[G7]fore his [C]eyes
The big wind on the rise
And the [F]bridge came tumblin' down
And [C]nineteen steel men drowned
And he [G7]saw the fright of the darkest night
In [F]old Vancouver [C]Town
With frogmen[G7] in the [C]water

By the cutting [G7]torches' [C]glow
They fought to [G7]save the [C]steel men
>From certain [G7]death be[C]low
And pain we'll never know
When the [F]bridge came tumblin' down
And [G7]sixty more that came ashore
So [F]thankful they were [C]found
It often [G7]makes you [C]wonder

In strength, who [G7]has the [C]edge
The longest [G7]steel-beam [C]structure
That spans the [G7]highest [C]ridge
Or the men that built the bridge
For the [F]bridge came tumblin' down
But the [G7]other men came back again
To [F]lay the new beams [C]down
Now if you're [G7]ever [C]crossing

This mighty [G7]bridge sub[C]lime
And nineteen [G7]scarlet [C]roses
Pass be[G7]fore your [C]mind
Remember and be kind
The [F]bridge came tumblin' down
So [G7]you could ride to the other side
Of [F]old Vancouver [C]Town
So [G7]you could ride to the other side of

Where players dance with skates that flash the home team trails behind
But they grab the puck & go bursting up & they're down across the line
They storm the creese like bumble bees they travel like a burning flame
We see them slide the puck inside it's a one one hockey game
Cho...
3rd Period Last game of the playoffs too!
Oh take me where those hockey players face off down the rink
And the Stanley cup is all filled up for the champs who win the drink
Now the final flick of a hockey stick and one gigantic scream
The puck is in the home team wins the good old hockey game

[D]You might think it's [G]goofy
But the [A7]man in the moon is a [D]Newfie
And he's sailing on to [G]glory, a[A7]way in the golden [D]dory
He's sailing on to [G]glory, a[A7]way in the golden [D]dory
Codfish Dan, from Newfoundland

He [A]dreamt that he had three [D]wishes
And he took Mars and all the stars
And [A]turned them into big [D]fishes
He said the sky was much too dry
And he [A]made a wavy [D]motion
And the moon like a boat began to float
Up[A]on the starry [D]ocean
Chrorus
One night he strayed to the Milky Way

To [A]cast his nets up[D]on it
He spied the tail of a great big whale
And he [A]harpooned Halley's [D]Comet
He never had a pot for the fish that he caught
So he [A]had to use the Big [D]Dipper
And the sun, by jove, was a very good stove
For [A]cooking up smelts and [D]kippers
Chorus
Now, the Northern Light that seem so bright

Like [A]nothing could be [D]grander
Well, they're just waves of the moon-boat made
By the [A]Newfoundland com[D]mander
And don't you sigh and say, "Oh, my
What [A]gross exagger[D]ation!"
'Cause he'll tell you the dream was true

And if you=B9re any good you=B9ll get a [D]raise in pay,
Your bed=B9s already on the [A7]bunkhouse floor,
If it gets a little chilly you can [D]close the door.=B2
Chorus
I was feelin=B9 in the morning any[A7]thing but fine,

The farmer said, "I=B9m gonna teach you [D]how to 'prime'."
He said, "You gotta don a pair of [A7]oilskin pants,
If you wanna work in the to[D]bacco plants of...
Chorus
We landed in a field that was [A7]long and wide,

With one old horse and [D]five more guys,
I asked him where to find the [A7]cigarette trees,
When he said, "Bend over," I was [D]ready to leave...
Chorus
He said to pick just the [A7]bottom leaves,

And don=B9t start crawlin=B9 on your [D]hands and knees,
Prime your row 'cause you=B9ll [A7]get no pay,
For standin=B9 there pickin=B9 at your [D]nose all day =8Cround...
Chorus
With a broken back bendin' [A7]over there,

I was wet right through to the [D]underwear,
And it was stuck to my [A7]skin like glue,
>From the nicotine tar and the [D]morning dew of...
Chorus
Now, the nearest river was [A7]two miles from,

The place they were waitin=B9 for the [D]boat to come,
When I heard some talk about [A7]makin=B9 the kill,
I was down the highway and [D]over the hill from=8A
Chorus
Now there=B9s one thing you can [A7]always bet,

If I never smoke another [D]cigarette,
I might get taken in a [A7]lot of deals,
But I won=B9t go work in the to[D]bacco fields of...

Great Dream From Heaven

Dropped D Tuning
Arranged by Ry Cooder
From 'Into the Purple Valley'
3/4 time
notes: a slide symbol (/) to the same note indicates to sustain that note.
this tune a lot of syncopated bass notes, for example measures nine
and ten where
the thumb strikes the bass on the off beat. takes quite a while (at
least for me!) to get used to.
as always, corrections appreciated.

A CHANGE IS GONNA COME- Sam Cooke
E E7
I was born by the river in a little tent
A C#m B
And just like that river I've been running ever since
E A
It's been a long time coming
G# C#m A B E
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die

Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
BRIDGE:
F#m C#m
And then I go to see my brother
F#m C#m
And I ask him to help me please
F#m C#m
And he just winds up knockin' me
F# B B7
Back down on my knees
There were times when I thought I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, been a long time coming
REPEAT VERSE 2
NOTE: I know this song from the Aretha Franklin and Band versions, but I
figure it's only right to post this under Sam Cooke's name.

Here's one of Sam's songs, covered really well by Cat Stevens:
Another Saturday Night
Sam Cooke
CHORUS
F Bb
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody,
F C
I got some money cause I just got paid,
F Bb
Oh, how I wish I had someone to talk to,
F C F
I'm in an awful way.
VERSE
F Bb
I got in town a month ago,
F7 C7
And I seen a lot 'o girls since then,
F F7
If I could meet 'em, I could get 'em,
C7 F
But as yet I haven't met 'em,
F C F C7
That's how I'm in the state I'm in.
CHORUS
VERSE
Another fella told me,
He had a sister who looked just fine,
Instead of bein' my deliverance,
She had a strange resemblance,
To a cat name of Frankenstein, Oh No-oh!

INSTRUMENTAL (Based on CHORUS)
VERSE
It's hard on a fella,
When he don't know his way around,
If I don't find me a honey,
To help me spend my money,
I'm gonna have to blow this town.
CHORUS (repeat) fade

--
"You need the dark to see the stars."

In the Jailhouse Now arrangement (c) 1967 Michael Cooney

Permission obtained to copy tablature for free distribution with this notice.
Transcription by Allyn Dimock. There are doubtless errors. Please use in

conjunction with recorded song on "Michael Cooney: Singer of Old Songs"
Front Hall 007.
Rag in C. 4/4 with swing. Accompaniment transcribed, break is similar

except mm 22-27. Note the G run is very similar to Blind Blake's version
but the rest of the arrangement is fancier. Note: it's been a while since
I double checked against the record, so the arrangement could have shifted
slightly for my fingers: Just take the version on the record and put it
through your handy MacFolk (tm) folk processor a few times to get this
version.

home?"
Intro 2X E G D C
E G D C
I was gone for fourteen days, I could have been gone for more;
E G D C
Held up in intensive care ward, Lying on the floor.
E G D C
I was gone for all those days,But I was not all a-lone;
E G D C C-riff
I made friends with a lot of peo-ple in the danger zone
C D E C D E
See my lone-ly life un-fold I see it ev-ry day
C D E A C D E
See my only mind ex-plode, since I've gone a-way
E G D C
E G D C
I think I lost some weight there, And I'm sure I need some rest;
E G D C
Sleeping don't come very easy In a straight white vest.
E G D C
Sure like to see that little children, She's only four years old ole
E G D C C-riff
I'd give her back all her play things even even the one I stole
C D E C D E
C D E A C D E
See my lone-ly mind ex-plode, when I've gone in-sane
Interlude 3X E G D C
E G D C
(I wanna get out of here, I've wanna get out of here.)
E G D C
(I gotta get out of here, I've got to get out of here.)
E G D C
(I gotta get out of here, I've got to get out of here.)
C D E C D E
C D E A C D E
See my lone-ly mind ex-plode, blow up in my face
Interlude 3X E G D C
E G D C
I grabbed my hat I got my coat I ran into the street
E G D C
I saw a man that was chok-ing there I guess he couldn't breathe
E G D C
Said to my-self, this is ver-y strange, I'm glad it wasn't me;
E G D C
But now I hear those sirens call-ing And so I am not free
(I didn't want to be)
C D E C D E
See my lone-ly life un-fold
C D E A C D E
See my lone-ly mind ex-plode, blow up in my face
Ending in "E"

ALICE COOPER
I'm eighteen
All fills and the solo goes on the E blues-scale. They look hard,
but they're really easy, 'cos I've been playing guitar for just 6 months,
and I got all these (except the main riff) just by listening to the record !
The chords in the verse goes like: E, C, D and C, D.
There's also an A, B, C, and D part, but it's marked on the lyrics.

Great song from a great album. I saw a request for this a while ago,
so here's my attempt at it. If anyone can do better, or sees this in
one of the magazines, please let me know so that I can play it better
as well! :-)

Her is the only Alice Cooper I know. I would like to learn

"You and ME" ( there is another hit love song but someone
stole my tape and I can't remember the name of it )
"Welcome to my nightmare" or "Black Widow".
I had trouble transcribing this. If you are having trouble

playing it, e-mail me and I will try harder. Also, I've
tried to download Chord.pro twice and can't get it to run
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ??

In the palm of my hand
I told them
Chorus 1:
A5 B5 [harmonies imply A, Bm]

Treat her like a lady
(Treat her like, you got to, got to treat her like)
A5 B5
Do the best you can do
(Treat her like, you got to, got to treat her like)
A5 B5
You gotta treat her like a lady
F# [bass only; harmonies imply F# major]

Subject: TAB: Albatross by Corrosion of Conformity

BAND: Corrosion of Conformity

SONG : Albatross
ALBUM : Deliverance
This file is entirely the work of its author. No copyright has

(knowingly) been broken by its production.
========
I subconciously worked this song out when I was just messing around -
I stumbled across the chords used, and just took it from there. It's
as close to what's on the album as I can get. Any improvement welcome,
but I'm pretty sure its accurate (unlike my other tabs);
----- Albatross by Corrosion of Conformity -----
Slap the distrotion on heavy, and just let it flow........
You can work out the timing from the album, but the main riff goes as
follows;

my guitar instructor and I figured out the chords for "shelter" by

corrosion of conformity. I think for sure 100% that the chords being
strummed on steel pedal guitar by Bruce Smith are bar chords
fretting down the neck without taking your fingers off to make...
Am G Gm F
your chords Em G Am C although different sounds good you could

write a different song so I almost thought there was a different
version to this song or maybe I misunderstood what was meant.
thanks for the chords anyway.

It may sound a little weird at first, but when played steadily at tempo
(quarter note = ~180 beats per min.), this piece really crackles.

Am E Am
In an anonymous rendez-vous where the forbidden lovers repair

They're burning down another damn candle

they're melting the tables and chairs

She lies to his right and she carelessly resites
Em D
All of her brand new appetites
G D
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
Em E
Since she came back to him After the fall
She said You never visited the countryside

So I've made you a country to order
She put up a little tent in the bedroom
Crickets played on a tape recorder
The ceiling was festooned with phosphorous stars
She noticed his skin turning cold
Burning all his clothes on the bonfire
Relax she whispered and tightened the blindfold
She lies to his right.....
You've changed but not for the better, babe

I'd tell you why but what's the use
'Cause it's the same kind of pity
a drunkard gives as his excuse
You were sharp and ideal as a bobby pin
Now your eyes are deserted and quiet
We both look like those poor shattered mannequins
Thrown through the window in the riot
She lies in his arms and without any qualms

Revels in shallow delights
She seems brittle and small it don't look like her at all

American Without Tears
<MELINDA@delphi.com>
G C G
Outside in New Orleans the heat was almost frightening
G A D
But my hotel room as usual was freezing and unkind
G C G
On TV they prosecute anyone who's exciting
G D G
So I put on my overcoat and went down to find
G C G
In Revlon and Crimpelene they captured my heart
G A D
To the strain of a piano and a cocktail murderess
G C G
She was singing that "It's Too Late", I agreed with that part
G D G
For two English girls who had changed their address
[chorus:]
C G
Now it seems we've been crying for years and for years
Em C G
Now I don't speak any English, just American without tears
C G
Just American without tears
One had been a beauty queen and the other was her friend
They had known rogues and rascals and showbiz impresarios
While the boys were licking Hitler they had something to defend
>From men armed with chewing gum and fine nylon hose
By a bicycle factory as they sounded the siren
And returned into the dancehall she knew he was the one
Though he wasn't tall or handsome she laughed when he told her
"I'm the Sheriff of Nottingham and this is Little John"
[chorus]
A D A
At a dock in Southampton full of tearful goodbyes
A B E
Newsreel commentators said "Cheerio, G.I. brides"
A D A
Soon they'll be finding the cold facts and lies
A E A
New words for suspenders and young girls backsides
A D A
Now I'm in America and running from you
A B E
Like my grandfather before me walked the streets of New York
A D A
And I think of all the women I pretend mean more than you
A E A
When I open my mouth and I can't seem to talk
D A
Now it seems we've been crying for years and for years
F#m [barre it] D A
Now I don't speak any English just American without tears
D A
Just American without tears

Here's the chords/lyrics to "Baby Plays Around" from Elvis Costello's

"Spike" album. Someone requested this a while back but it's taken me
a while to get around to typing it in.
It's in CHORD format, ie run it through the CHORD program that was
recently posted and you get a nice postscript songsheet.

Big Boys (demo)

I am starting to function
In the usual way
Everything is so provocative
Very very, temporary
E
I shall walk (I shall walk)
Out of this place (out of this place)
I shall walk
A
Out on you
'Cause you go silly
If she's willing
B A E
Trying so hard to be like the big boys
G
So you take her to the pictures
Em
Trying to become a fixture
G
Inch by inch trying to reach her
Em
All the way through the second feature
C D
Worrying about your physical fitness
C D A E
Tell me how you got this sickness, Oh ohhhh..
E
I was caught in the suction
By a face like a truncheon
I was down upon one knee
Stroking her vanity
E
I was stuck on a hammerhead
I came alive and left for dead
As my face returned to red
Choking on my pride and pity
E
We can talk (we can talk)
Until your face is blue ('til your face is blue)
A
We can talk but she'll get to you
After you've been loved and hated
By the ones you've watched and waited
Found that they were overrated
B E A
She'll be the one - when the party's over
B E A
She'll be the one - when the girls have gone home
B E A
She'll be the one - that you'll wish you'd held onto
B E A
She'll be the one - but it's too late for you to
B E A
She'll be the one - who knows all your history
B E
She'll be the one -
A
So you can cross her off your list
B A
And you try so hard
B A
And you try so hard
B A
And you try so hard
E
To be like the big boys

BLAME IT ON CAIN
Elvis Costello
G
Once upon a time, I had a little money.
Government burglars took it long before I could mail it to you.

C7
Still you are the only one.
G
Now, I can't let it slip away.
D
So if the man with the ticker tape, he tries to take it,
D7 G
Well, this is what I'm gonna say:
Em7 G
Blame it on Cain. Don't blame it on me.
C D C G
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault, but we need somebody to burn.
Well, if I was a saint with a silver cup

And the money got low, we could always heat it up or trade it in.
But then the radio that heaven will be wired to your purse.
And then you can run down the wave band, coast to coast, hand in hand.
D7 C
Better or worse, curse for curse, don't be disatisfied.
D G
So, you're not satisfied.
Em7 G
C D
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault,
C G
But we need somebody to burn.
I think I've lived a little too long on the outskirts of town.

I think I'm goin' insane from talking to myself for so long.
Oh, but I never been accused.
When they step upon your face, you wear that good luck grin.
D7
I gotta break out one weekend if I do somebody in.
But ev'ry single time I feel a little stronger,

C D
They tell me it's a crime. Well how much longer?
Em7 G
C D
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault,
C G
But we need somebody to burn.
Em7 G
C D
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault.
C G
But it just seems to be his turn.

Here's my best stab at this song. Parts of it seem to be not quite

right (especially the part where Elvis is stating whose turn it is
to do what). Improvements are more than welcome. --Mark

[Intro stays on D]
D G D
Now it's just you and me, my blue friend
D
And you say that it's you that she's thinking of

And our affair must end

But if it's you that she's thinking of

I think my broken heart might mend

Your turn to buy and my turn to drink

Your turn to cry and my turn to sink
G Em
Down in the Blue Chair
G A D
Now I've made up my mind

I've made my mistake
And I know that she cries for you
When she's barely awake
Well she's going to bend your mind
Well I hope it don't break
[Repeat chorus]

F#m G
We can watch our troubles rise
F#m Em
Like smoke into the air

And drift up to the ceiling

You can feel just like a boy or a man

And next minute you can find yourself kneeling

G#m A G#m
They're boasting of loving the daylights
F#m G#m Bm
right out of her in the small hours
Em
F#m G F#m
You say that your love lasts forever
Em G A A/G A/F# A/E
when you know the night just hours uh ho ho ho ho ho
And still I want her right now

This is definitely a challenging one:
Here's what I got :

> G F#m7 C/E D
>Now it's my turn to talk and your turn to think
>G A A# aug Bmi
>Your turn to buy and my turn to drink
>G F#m7 C/E D
>Your turn to cry and my turn to sink ...
C/E would just be a normal C chord with an open E in the bass.

(EC uses C/E a lot)
The A# augmented chord is weird and has something else in it,

possible an open E? My best guess for a fingering would be:
E string: deadened
A string: 1st finger on 1st fret
D string: 4th finger on 4th fret
G string: 2nd finger on 3rd fret
B string: 3rd finger on 3rd fret
E string: Open
I don't know, though-I've never seen Elvis live-sigh-I have a laser disc of
The Juliet Letters, but of course he doesn't play guitar on that one.
The bridge is also strange-you have the right bassline: E F# G F# E (B) A D,

but I think the chord just stays on Emi, although some instrument other
than the guitar keeps hinting at D#'s
[The early 70's dylan inflections are beautiful in this section]
The second part of the bridge (boasting of loving the daylights...)

sounds like the first part transposed up a whole step, so
F#mi, F#mi/G#, F#mi/A, etc.
Then back to the Emi
and then when he says "you know the night just hours" [what does he
mean by that?] the bass goes: E and then in 8th notes: F# G F# G, still
all against some kind of Emi. I'm just playing the bass line and
plucking the G B and E strings open for the E mi
On the F#mi part, I'm barring the 2nd fret to get the 3 highest
strings and then playing the bassline on the low string.
Your descending bassline coming down against the A chord is right, as

is the rest of the transcription.
I hope my carriage returns aren't coming out weird. Let me know.
Now I've got to go buy the CD to hear it better. I was going to

wait for the box set reissues to get to this album.
Does anyone know when the next box set is due to be released?

Subject: cheap rewards by elvis costello
This song appears on the re-eleased version of "my aim is true".

The guitar is capoed at the first fret, therefore the chord names i have
given are in fact the shapes. the real key is Ab.
G C
oh well i feel so loose tonight i might fall to pieces,
D G D
so be prepared to sweep me out the door,
G C
and i might be horizontal by the time the evening ceases,
D G
so i think i'll get acquainted with the floor.
B C
but i was trying to get away from the things i usually do,
D G D
"hello floorboards, once again, how are you?"
Chorus
------
G C
lip service, well that's all you'll ever get from me.
D G D
how could you believe i'd take you seriously?
G C
with your cheap rewards, your blackmail and your comical rage,
D G
just remember that you'll only be the boss as long you pay my wage.
Well all the signposts on this road they all point one way,
don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes.
i'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing left to say,
and it's all been lost befor so there's nothing left to lose.
B C
oh but you could say that you loved me very painlessly
D G D
i would have done the same for you but you said to me.....

I heard that you fell for the "Hell or to Hammersmith Blues"

In the tiny torn up peices of his mind he's irresistible too
Now it's hard to say now if he's only stupid or smart
When he crawled through the door
And poured out more of his creeping-Jesus heart
Chorus

Am Am/B Am/C Am/D
Like going down three times to only come up twice
Am/D# Am/E G C G
Come up twice
She's so convenient, he's always stiff as hair-laquer

It's hard to discover now he's in love with her
It was her way of getting her own back
You never did anything she couldn't do on her own
You're as good as your word and that's no good to her
You'd better leave that kitten alone
Chorus
Fade out:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments from Clyde MacFadden (mls377@nwu.edu):
The tough thing about Crimes of Paris (as in many EC songs) is that he's
actually only playing five chords on the guitar, but the changes in the
bass notes and the vocals are what you really hear. So, if you play it by
yourself the way EC does on the album, it sounds like you're missing a lot
of important changes- and you are. Luckily, it's not too tough to work the
bass notes into the chords on this one...I imagine that's how Elvis played
it as he was writing it, and if he ever performed it by himself.
Mark's chords were on the right track, but his choruses and a few other
parts were off. There are a few frustrating things about playing this song
on guitar. One is the pesky G with F bass (there's no F major in the song)
in the verses, which is tough to play on guitar. It sounds *okay* if you
play a G7 there- the F will be in the chord, just on top instead of on the
bottom. A similar problem is the Am with G# bass- which can be solved by
flatting the A on the G string (what the hell chord is that anyway?
Ammaj7?????) As for chords like C/E and G/B, well, the bass notes are in
the normal major chords anyway, but I included the bass notation for
fingerpicking purposes- or if any bass players want to give it a shot.
[...]
Whew! I guess that's it. Only Costello could make such a mess out of G,
C, D, Am, and E. I mean that as a compliment.
If anyone thinks I messed up, feel free to add corrections. And if anyone
thinks this is on target and wants other transcriptions, just ask. I don't
have the time to do this every night, but if I have the time, I'll figure
any Costello song out. I've even been trying to put together some guitar
arrangements for songs from "The Juliet Letters" to play with my sister
(no way my voice can handle some of that stuff...). It's easy to hear the
notes clearly with the Brodskys, but trying toactually play that stuff on
guitar is a different matter. Even the occasional stuff that resembles
good ole Costello pop melodies ("Why must I always apologize...") is way
more complex than it sounds.
You know, I said I was going to study tonight...

Like going down three times to only come up twice
A/E
Come up twice
***analysis***
The recurring device here is a major chord with the flat 7th in the bass.
It happens on "another day" "cigarette girl" and "here and now" and "good
advice".
Also lots of 1st & 2nd inversion chords. The most original part is the
bridge with the bassline walking up beneath the Am chord. Ami/B is, by
itself very dissonant, as the B isn't part of an Am or Am7, but in context
it sounds great. The end of the bridge is really strange with the same line
continuing through D D# E with the Beatles-like chanting going on against
it-I don't know what to call those chords.
Anyone care to analyze the lyrics? I like the line about going down 3 times
to only come up twice.

Subject: CRD:Glitter Gulch, Elvis Costello
SONG: Glitter Gulch

A D
Enter Madam X painted in a shocking pink spangled dress
E A
Her teeth are perfect but her mouth is loose
A D
Rubbing their hands together she persuades them that it's better to confess
E A
Which unpleasant fate they'd like to choose
(chorus)
D
Every step might be your last
D G
Money signs are in your eyes sucker

------------------------------------------------------------------
D
You've been taken in this time
D G
You might just get out alive if you're lucky
D
All the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch
E
Are looking in on you
A
And they're hungry
He stood five feet tall in his elevator shoes and stovepipe hat
He was known by several different names
Prompted by Madam X he answered all their questions
And then after that he said I'm sick and tired of stupid games
(chorus)
G
We've got prizes if you can afford
D
Some small humiliation before you get your reward
G
And I'd rather be an outlaw than an inlaw to you
A(7)
And to live my life in miserable poverty
A7
Than to have to grovel to have some dream home hovel
G A
So watch me while I get away with prime time robbery
(chorus)
As he enters Madam X he things of red raged faces and the sweet greenbacks
He climbed upon his honey and he covered her with money
As they do their victory dance
He thinks I hope they choke upon their laughter tracks
They can all go straight to hell while we howl down the whole hotel

Here's Elvis Costello's "Green Shirt" from the demo version off
the Ryko reissued of "This Years Model". The original version is
on "Armed Forces" and has very little guitar. For the demo
version, there is an extra verse (the last one). Be sure to
concentrate on the bass strings of the chords and use the up and
down picking motion EC does (listen to the record for details)
*verse 1*
C
There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
F
That comes into my room every night
C
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
F
And she turns them into black and white.
*chorus*
C
And you tease
F
And you flirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
Bb F C
You can please yourself, but somebody's going to get it
Bb F C
Better cut off all identifying labels
Bb F G
Before they get you on the touture table
*same as first verse*

Cause somewhere in the quisling clinic
There's a short time typist taking seconds over minutes
She's listening into the Venus line
She's picking out names, I hope none of them are mine
C
And you tease
F
And you flirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F
Bb F C
You can tease yourself, but somebody's going to get it
Bb F
Never said I was a stool pigeon
Bb F
Never said I was a diplomat
Bb F
Everybody is under suspicion but
C F
You don't want to hear about that
C
And you tease
F
And you flirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F
Bb F C
Bb F C F
Better send the naked ledger to the big investigation
Bb F C F
Who put these finger prints on my imagination
*same as verse 1*
There are wives in the windows
There are wives in the walls
There are wives in the kitchens
And wives in the halls
There are wives on poles

There are wives in your face
There are wives in holes
Coming out all over the place
C
And you tease
F
And you flirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F
Bb F C

Here's Red Shoes by Elvis Costello. I was surprised not to find this in the
archieves, so I took a shot at it - if someone wants to make corrections (esp.
someone with the songbook), go for it.
Intro E A E Esus4
E
Oh I used to be disgusted
G#m
and now I try to be amused.
E
But since their wings have got rusted,
A B E
you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
e f# g# A E
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain,
A E
that's when I knew that I could not refuse.
B A E Esus4 E
And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
A B E
I was watching while you're dancing away.
B A E
Our love got fractured in the echo and sway.
A B E
How come everybody wants to be your friend?
G#m B
You know that it still hurts me just to say it.
E
Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh why's that)
G#m
Cause she's feeling so abused. (oh that's too bad)
E
She gets tired of the lust, (oh I'm so sad)
B
but it's so hard to refuse.
A
How can you say that I'm too old,
E B A E E Esus4 E
when the angels have stolen my red shoes.
A B E
Oh, I said "I'm so happy, I could die."
B A E
She said "Drop dead," then left with another guy.
A B E
That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance.
G#m B
Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence.
*same as first four lines in first stanza and repeat on the chords for extra
lines*
Oh I used to be disgusted
and now I try to be amused.
But since their wings have got rusted,
you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

Lookin for a place for his mouth to shoot saying
You look cute in your birthday suit
You tore him out and screwed him up
like a bent page in a naughty picture book
The day ended as it began

except he was sicker and older than
The man he was this morning and
The world has wiped its mouth since then
or maybe it was yawning
Chorus again

lyrics and chords of: How To Be Dumb by Elvis Costello

date: 95/10/15
G
I was hell-bent on destroying my powers of concentration
D
While you were living like a saint
G
And all the time the very one you trusted
Em Bm
Was washing off somebody else's paint
G
Now you've got yourself a brand new occupation
D
Every fleeting thought is a pearl
G
And beautiful people stampede through the doorway of
Em Bm
The funniest fucker of the world
F
They're here to help you
Dm Bm
Satisfy your desire
C G
There's a bright future for all you professional liars
C D
Now you know how to be dumb
G C
Are you ready to take your place in
G/B D
The modern museum of mistakes?
G C D
Don't you know how to be dumb?
G C
Like a building thrown up overnight
G/B D
In one of those reverse earthquakes
G
They emptied out all the asylums,
D
They emptied out all the goals
G
The "New Bruise" was the name of the dance craze
Em Bm
By "Jesus Cross and the Cruel Nails"
G
Followed up by "Tortouzring Little Beaver"
D
With their contraption of barbed wire
G
Between the fear and the fever lies
Em Bm
All the rejection they require
F
They'll be howling by midnight,
Dm Bm
They'll be drooling by dawn
C
Skulls shrunk down to the size of their brains
G
Heads shaven and shorn
C D
Now you know how to be dumb
G C
G/B D
G C D
G C
G/B D
Em
Trapped in the house of the Perpetual Sucker
C D
Where bitterness always ends so pityful
Em
You always had to dress up your envy in
C D
Some half-remembered philosophy
G
Now you're masquerading as pale powdered genius
D
Whose every bad intention has been purged
G
You could've walked out any time you wanted
Em Bm
But face it you didn't have the courage
G
I guess that makes you a full time hypocrite
D
Or some kind of twisted dilletante
G
Funny though people don't usually get so ugly
Em Bm
'Til they think they know what they want
F
Scratch you own head stupid
Dm
Count up to three
Bm C
Roll over on your back
G
Repeat after me
C D
Don't you know how to be dumb
G C
G/B D

Human Touch
from Get Happy!
tabbed by kevinmoore@cruz.com (Kevin Moore)
Ken writes:
>Does anybody happen to know the chords to "Human Touch?" I know it's a
>simple song, but I'm a novice at figuring out songs. Any help would be
>greatly appreciated!
Oh, simple, is it? Well, I had just returned from Tower with my $11.98 Ryko
pressing of Get Happy, so I was only too eager to give this a shot-but this
song has some funky stuff in it! I'm eager to hear what everybody else got.
The Ryko disc, by the way is night and day better than the original-good
grief-the highs and lows and general clarity are just SO much better-what
on earth did they do the Columbia ones to make them sound so bad?
Anyway, the thing that make this simple sounding song complex is the
ska-like rhythm-the bass falls right on the down beat but the chords are
all played on the upbeat.
This is fine til you switch chords-then it can get sticky- you have to make
a basic decision-do you change to the new chord on the upbeat of 4 or the
upbeat of 1? Let's say the bass plays E E E E B B B B. You, the guitar
player, play inbetween the bass player's notes. So the big question is,
what do you play after the 4th E, an E, or a B? You can do it either way.
If you play a B, it sounds like you're anticipating the next chord. Any ska
freaks out there? Which is more common?
Human Touch USUALLY anticipates the next chord, but not always. Anyway,
here's what the guitar plays, where "-" represents the silent downstrum
while the bass is playing.
VERSE:
-E-E-E-E|-E-E-E-B|-B-B-B-B|-B-B-B-B
-B-B-B-B|-B-B-B-E|-E-E-E-E|-E-E-E-E
-E-E-E-E|-E-E-E-A|-A-F#-F#-B|-B-B-B-E
-E-B-BBB
CHORUS:
EE-E-E-A|-A-A-A-B|-B-B-B-E|-E-E-BBB
-E-E-E-A|-A-A-A-B|-BBB-C#mC#mC#m|-D=B0D=B0D=B0-B/D# B/D# B/D# ***see note #1
-E-E-E-B|-B-B6-B7-(E)
Notes:
1) The best way I could find to play the rise starting at bar 6 of the
chorus would be to play a chord with the first finger on the 4th fret of
the 5th string, deaden the 4th string, 3rd finger on the 6th fret of the
3rd string, and 2nd finger on the 5th fret of the 2nd string-use this for
the C#mi, then slide it up a fret for the D=B0, and slide it up another fret
for the B- ANY OTHER IDEAS?? The bass riff here is definitely B C# D D# E
2) The following figure "-BBB" means that the guitar does a variation on
the ska rhythm and hits a down beat.
3) The B-B6-B7 thing at the end of the chorus can be done with a 7th fret
bar and adding the pinkie on the 9th and then the 10th frets.
4) Although the guitar plays regular bar chords for the most part, the
*actual* harmony of this song is much more complex, owing the the intricate
arpeggiated bassline.ESPECIALLY at bar 10 of the verse! The bass goes A C#
C# F#|D# B G# F#|E. the A and C# are for the A chord and the C# and F# are
for the F# chord and the D# and B are for the B chord, but about that G#
=46#?? ANY IDEAS?
I'd love to see what others have to say about this-there are a couple
places I'm not certain of and any insight on ska playing would also be
great. Who plays guitar on this tune anyway? And what other tidbits does
anyone know about its origin, lyrics, etc.?
[Note: the "official" guitar chords to this song are available in

songbook form; see the info on the bottom of the guitar page. --mjs]

I Hope You're Happy Now

tabbed by theoquik@aol.com
This is a guitar-based transcription, though some notes played

by other instruments may be included so that the lone guitarist
can more fully realize the tune as it exists on Blood & Chocolate.
Those lone guitarists with dexterity trouble can skip those notes
and still "put over" the song in question, but it won't sound as cool.
Lower case letters indicate that the preceding chord should be played
with the lower case note in the bass (e.g. A g f# = you play an
A chord, then you play an A chord with a G in the bass, then an A chord with
an F# in the bass)
Tricky chords are pictured below the transcription.

I Want You by Elvis Costello (from Blood and Chocolate)

----------
Hi. This is for those who requested it. The tab section was created with
my TAB MASTER program for TAB transcribing on PC. I'm not so sure how
accurate it is, but it works anyway. I suppose that some of the E chords
of the intro can be played as E7 - it works too. The intro, anyway,
should sound good, I personally think its far from what is actually
played on the album (not the chords, but the notes themselves). It's
very easy to to play the song, but I think that remembering all the
lyrics is a bit tricky... Enjoy!

It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for

It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you

The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark
It scares you witles
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me when we'll let it drop

I'm afraid I won't know where to stop

I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you

Oh no my darling not with that clown

You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you

I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you

No words could take its place

If you don't know what is wrong with me

Then you don't know what you've missed
We are arms and legs

Wrapped round more than my memory tonight
When the bell rang out
And the air turned blue from fright
But in shameless moments
You made more of me than just a mess
And a handful of eagerness
Says "What do you suggest?"
Chorus

This is just an update I did over the summer.
The original tab came from Aaron Yarlas, and thanks
is owed to J. Cooper and Paul Andersen as well.
Any corrections are welcomed, and if someone was
inclined to do a bass-tab, well that would be swell.
N-joy, will.

I hate to say this, and I don't want to sound ungrateful for someone's
efforts, but the chords listed for the song "Imagination..." are way, WAY
oversimplified. If you had to play this song with just E, A, D, G, and C
chords, I suppose these versions would do...but the progressions are far more
involved than that.
***Example, posted version:
E C
E A
***The way I hear it:
A E C
G#m C#m Bm E7 A
***Posted version:
E A D E
A D A
E A D E
A D E
***The way I hear it:
E B C#m E/B A E
G#m C#m D A
G#m C#m A E
A E A E
There are far too many D chords in the posted version -- the only
time there's actually a D chord is in the chorus ("...a little too much"),
and I can't find a G chord in the whole song to save me.

Subject: "real" chords to Imagination
Status: R
After seeing a couple of posting regarding the chords to Imagination

I decided to try my hand at figuring them out because neither of the
versions I saw worked. I don't know if the writers guitars were out
of tune or what, but they definately are not the chords that EC is
playing on the recording. So at the risk of being severly flamed I
will post my version of the chords. I don't think they are perfect
by any means, but if you play these chords along with the recording
at least it will sound like the same song.
D G
D F#m Bm D Dm G
D F#m Bm D A#
D F#m Bm D Dm G
The you caught up in a whirlwind, you got blown right out the door
D A#
D G
D F#m Bm G D
F#m Bm C G
D F#m Bm G D
G D G D
Then the second part is the same as the first, except for the ending.
The weird thing about this song is that while it sounds like it doesn't
flow right on the recording, when you are playing and singing the tune
it sounds perfect, and it's tons of fun to play. If these chords work
for you, experiment with adding in the bass line, you will find that
much of the bass line can be played without having to use alternate
fingerings for the chords.
Enjoy

Here's Elvis Costello's "Inch by Inch" off of "Goodbye Cruel

World". Listen to the bass line as to where to come in with the
b d f# notes - you can leave them out, but if playing by
yourself, it adds a lot. The notes have been left out of the
verses.
Intro b d f# G Bm
*verse 1*
G Bm
You can take a powder you can take a drink
G Bm
You can keep the shrink and the kitchen sink
Bm Bm/A Bm/G Bm/F#

Write my name in heaven in invisible ink
Bm/F# F#m Bm F#m

I just woke up from dreaming, I think
*verse 2*
G Bm
You can take me over you can give me a lip
G Bm
You can take me under you can give me the slip
Bm Bm/A Bm/G Bm/F#

Take off everything or tear me off a strip
F#m
Like a lady in the camber and another in the clip
*chorus*
G Em
Don't move a muscle baby
Bm Em
Don't even flinch
Bm Bm/A Bm/G
You can miss me by a mile
Bm/F# Em Bm
Or just inch by inch
G
Inch by inch, Inch by inch
Em F#m Bm
You can pull me up again inch by inch
G
Inch by inch, as pulses race
Em F#m Bm G Bm
I long to see that look upon your face
*verse 3 same as verse 2*

You can take me outside you can take me apart
You can take me upstairs you can take me to heart
You made me love you when you thought you were smart
Don't try to stop me when you told me to start
*same as other chorus*

Don't move a muscle baby
Don't even flinch
You can miss me by a mile
Or just inch by inch
Inch by inch, Inch by inch

You can pull me up again inch by inch
Inch by inch, as pulses race

Sometimes we'd fight in public darling

But different kinds of sparks would fly
When we got on our own behind closed doors

It's time to tell the truth
These things have to be faced
My fuse is burning out

They're laughing like drains

And baying like bloodhounds

For the Jack of all parades

The Jack of all parades

Once I knew a girl

That looked so much like Judy Garland

That people would stop and give her money

And everybody was Frankie, Jimmy or Bobby

Not the Jack, the Jack of all Parades,

Oh the Jack, the Jack of all Parades,

Now the way that I feel is no longer news

You know my love and how to refuse it
Cause you know where the door is

D A
And how to use it
D D/C# Bm
Oh you know you do
A
But from my chequered past
D A
To this shattered terrace
Where you can't keep your mind off

D A
the Crimes of Paris
And you can't keep your peace

D A
And try to forget it
And I can't forgive you

D A
For things you haven't done yet

Oh I was anybody's boy

When we first met I didn't know what to do

My old love lines were all worn out on you

And the world walked 'round my mouth

I didn't mean to say it
E A
I just blurted it out
D D/C#
As you pretended not to notice

Or be taken aback

And I loved you there and then

It's as simple as that

Oh I was everybody's boy

LESS THAN ZERO

Elvis Costello
|F Bb C| F C|F Bb C| F C|
F Bb C F
Calling Mister Oswald with the swastika tattoo,
C F Bb C F
There is a vacancy waiting in the English voodoo,
C Bb Gm
Carving "V" for vandal on the guilty boy's head.
Bb Gm
When he's had enough of that, maybe you'll take him to bed
C Dm/F C Dm/F C
To teach him he's alive before he wishes he was dead.
|C FC| - |
Bb F
Turn up the T.V. No one list'ning will suspect.
Bb F
Even your mother won't detect it, so your father won't know.
Bb F
They think that I've got no respect,
Ebm F
But ev'rything means less than zero.
Bb F C F
Hey, ooh hey,
C F Bb F C
Hey, ooh hey.
Oswald and his sister are doing it again.

They got the finest home movies that you have ever seen.
They got a thousand variations: every service with a smile.
They're gonna take a little break, and they'll be back after a while.
Well, I hear that South America is coming back in style.
A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor.

Mister Oswald said he had an understanding with the law.
He said he heard about a couple living in the U.S.A.
He said they traded in their baby for a Chevrolet.
Let's talk about the future; now we've put the past away.
Jenny takes her clothes off in succession

While her husband rides a bumper in the President's procession
She sees him on the screen as she looks up from giving head
When he's had enough of that, her lover throws her on the bed
To teach her she's alive, and suddenly he's dead.
Calling Mister Oswald, calling anyone at the scene.

If you were there taking home movies, there's a chance you might have
seen him.
They've got a thousand variations: every witness in a file.
Jenny puts on some coffee, and she comes back with a smile.
She says "I hear that South America is coming back into style."
A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor.

Mister Oswald thought he had an understanding with the law.
She's got rubies on her fingers, Jenny turns and walks away.
Her mind upon a basement out of the U.S.A.
She says, "Let's talk about the future, now we've put the past away."

Let Him Dangle - Elvis Costello (D. MacManus)
Em
Bentley said to craig let him have it Chris
C B7
They still dont know today just what he meant by this
Em
Craig fired the pistol but was to young to swing
C B7
so the police to Bentley in the very next thing
Chorus:
Em C B7
Let him dangle let him dangle Do do do do do do do do do
Bently had surrended he was under arrest

when he gave Chris Craigs that fatal request
Craig shot sidney miles he took bentleys word
the prosecution claimed as they charged him with murder...
Bridge
G D Am7
Well its hard to imagine its the times that have changed
G D
when theres a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange
G D Am7 D
If killing anybody is a terrible crime why does this blood thirsty chorus
B7 Em C B7
come round from time to time Let him dangle do do do do do do do do do
They siad Derek Bentley was easlily led

well whats that to the women that sidney miles wed
though guilty was the verdict and craig had shot him dead
the gallows were for bentley and still she never said...
Not many people thought that bentley would hang

but the word never came the phone never rang
outside wandsworth prison there was horror and hate
as the hangman shook bentleys hand to calculate his weight....
From a welfare state to society murder

bring back the noose is always heard
whenever thos swine are under attack
but it wont make you even it wont bring him back...

Introduction: Em D G (3 1 4)
C D G (3 1 4)
C D G (3 1 4)
D G D Em (2 1 1 strum)
Em D G C D G C D G
In Chocolate Town all the trains are painted brown, and the silver paper of the wrapper.
Em D G C D G
There's a dapper little man, and he wears a wax mustache
C D G C D G
That he twists with nicotine fingers as he drops his cigarette ash.
D G
And someone comes and sweeps it up, and then he doffs his cap
D G
And there's a rat in someone's bedroom, and they're shutting someone's trap.
Em D
And they'll soon be pulling down the little palaces.
Em D G C D G
And the doors swing back and forward, from the past into the present
C D G C D G
And the bedside crucifixion turns from wood to phosphorescent.
D G
And they're moving problem families from the South up to the North,
D G
Mother's crying over some soft soap opera divorce,
C F D
And you say you didn't do it, but you know you did of course,
Em D
And they'll soon be pulling down the little palaces.
Em D G C D G
It's like shouting in a matchbox, filled with plasterboard and hope,
C D G C D G
Like a picture of Prince William in the arms of John the Pope.
Em D G C D G
There's a world of good intentions, and pity in their eyes,
=A0 C D G C D G
The sedated homes of England, are theirs to vandalize.
D G
So you knock the kids about a bit, because they've got your name,
D G
And you knock the kids about a bit, until they feel the same.
Em D
And they feel like knocking down the little palaces.

You're the twinkle in your daddy's eye, a name you spray and scribble,
C D G C D G
You made the girls all turn their heads, and in turn they made you miserable.
Em D G C D G
To be the heir apparent, to the kingdom of the invisible.
D G
So you knock the kids about a bit, because they've got your name,

And you knock the kids about a bit, until they feel the same.

And they feel like knocking down

Little triggers that you pull with your tongue.

Little triggers.

I don't wanna be hung up, strung up when you don't call up.

Little sniggers on your lips.

Little triggers. My hand on your hip.
Bb Gm
Thinkin' all about those censored sequences,

Worryin' about the consequences,

Waiting until I come to my senses.

Better put it all in present tenses.
Little triggers that you pull with your tongue.

Little triggers.
I don't wanna be hung up, strung up when you don't call up.
Little triggers on your lips.
Little triggers in your grip.
Little triggers. My hand on your hip.
Bb Gm
Worryin' about the common decency

When it is only a question of frequency
Bb Gm
When you say O. K. But I gotta cheek to be
Bb C
Sayin' you're tired of me when you don't even weaken these.

He'd turn the flowers of springtime into a wreath

He says he'd love you eternally
I say please please can't you keep it brief
A D
They say they're going to bury you
E A
Because you're so lovable
A D
Put your money where your mouth was
E A
You're so lovable

Each tender mumble brings us closer to bedlam
E A
You're so lovable
A D
The toast of the town and the talk of the bedroom
(modulation)
You're so lovable
You're so sweet
You're so honest
You say Ì'll be true to you boy'
But I won't promise
Then you say you love me
Then you show me
As you lie there so lifelike below me

lyrics and chords of: Man Out Of Time by Elvis Costello And The Attractions

date: 95/10/15
E B E
So this is where he came to hide
E B E
When he ran from you
E
In a private detective overcoat
F#m
And dirty dead men's shoes
E B E
The pretty things of Knightsbridge
E B E
Lying for of Minister of State
E
Are a far cry from the nod and wink
F#m
Here at Traitors' Gate
G#m C#m
'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down
F#sus4
And he listens for the footsteps
E/B B7
That would follow him around
E F#m G#m E
To murder - my love - is a crime
F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E
But will you still love - a man out of time
E B E
There's a tupenny ha'ppenny millionaire
E B E
Looking for a fourpenny one
E
With a tight grip on the short hairs
F#m
Of the public imagination
E B E
But for his private wife and kids somehow
E B E
Real life becomes a rumour
E
Days of Dutch courage, just three French letters
F#m
And a German sense of humor
G#m C#m
He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
F#sus4
He stands to be insulted
E/B B7
And he pays for the privilege
E F#m G#m E
E B E
The biggest wheels of industry
E B E
Retire sharp and short
E
And after the dinner overtures
F#m
Are nothing but an afterthought
E B E
Somebody's creeping in the kitchen
E B E
There's a reputation to be made
E
Whose nerves are always on the knife's edge
F#m
And who's up late polishing the blade
G#m C#m
Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
F#sus4
You drink yourself insensitive
E/B B7
And hate yourself in the morning
E F#m G#m E

MYSTERY DANCE
Elvis Costello
G5 F5
Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill.
G5 F5
He jumped out the window 'cause he couldn't sit still.
G5
Juliet was waiting with a safety net.
F5 G5
He said, "Don't bury me, 'cause I'm not dead yet."
C
Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance.
G
I wanna know about the mystery dance.
Why don't you show me,

D C
'Cause I've tried and I've tried and I'm still mystified.
F5
I can't do it anymore, and I'm not satisfied.
Well, I remember when the lights went out

And I was try'n' to make it look like it was never in doubt.
She thought that I knew, and I thought that she knew,
So both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it.
Well, I was down under the covers in the middle of the night,
Trying to discover my left foot from my right.
You can see those pictures in any magazine,
But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they mean?

Intro:
Am Am/B C C/D F F1 [two times]
Am Am/B C F F1
This is the place where I made my best mistakes
Am Am/B C D
This is the place even angels don't understand
Am Am/B C F
I've seen the disappointment in her face
D Bm C D
And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand
Am Am/B C F F1
She sits alone apart from the crowd
Am Am/B C D
In a white dress she wears like a question mark
Am Am/B C
Friends speak of her fondly
F
Enemies just think out loud
D Bm
You think you're man enough to please her
C D
And you're fool enough to start
G C G
You're not going to do a thing to our little angel
D C D
There's nothing you're thinking tonight that tomorrow won't change
Now the cabaret is frozen and the laughter comes in cans

And the lonely hearts club clientele don't know what to do
with their hands
You think that you'll be sweet to her but everybody knows
That you're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes
F
[Chords through solo:]

D D G D A A G C A
So you mix your drinks and words

You make bad jokes you make bad time
The floors are there to walk over
The walls are there to climb
You swear you'll never go back again once you're inside
You're never the bridegroom she's always the bride
G C G
You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger
D
Well you try to love her but she's so contrary
Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary
C D G
So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel
G
You're not going to do a thing

Em D G

That you gave to me

It left me half alive

And half in ecstasy

But if half of your love
Ab7 Adim7
Is all I can win
Eb C7
Give me just a fraction
F7 Bb Eb Ab7 Eb
But no more medicine

The poisoned rose
Eb Ab
On a Valentine card
Eb C
That you take straight to the heart

That you call my junkyard

But if all I can do
Ab7 F7
is save pieces of you
Eb
The piece of your mind
Eb7 Ab7
The piece of your heart

Didn't tear me apart

Like the poisoned rose
Gm7 Bb7 Ab
I received from you
Db9+11
I don't know

How we came to grow
Bb Eb F7
Into this very sad affair
Everytime we do the decent thing

B9 Bb9
Somebody spikes the drink
And a single becomes a pair
(N.C.) Eb Bb7
The poisoned rose
Eb7 Ab7
That you wear at your best
Eb C7
That I keep pressed between the white sheets
F7 Bb B9 Bb Eb
Where you lie half undressed
I threw away my shirt and shoes

Eb7 Ab7
You looked and I dived in
F7
It's just you and me now
Eb
'Cause I threw away the gin
I threw away your alibis

Eb7 Ab7
And all your worn-out clothes
I threw myself upon the floor

Adim7
But I couldn't throw away

This poisoned rose

PUMP IT UP
as performed by Elvis Costello
I been a tenter hooks Ending in dirty looks
Listen to the musak think that.. this that
she said that's that I don't wantta chitter chat
Turn it down a little bit turn it down flat
Pump it up when you don't really need it

Pump it up until you can feel it
down in the pleasure center hell bent or heaven sent
listen to the propaganda and listen to the latest slander
There's nothing under hand that she wouldn't understand

She's been a bad girl she's like a chemical
Thought you try to stop it she's like a narcotic
you wantta torture her you wantta talk to her
All the things you bought for her putting up your temperature

out in the fashion show down in the bargin bin
you put your passion out under the pressure pin
fall into submission hit and run transmission
No use wishing now for any other sin



Don't really need it

|E B7 E|B |E B7 E|B |
E B
I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial
A E
Doing anything my radio advised.
B
With every one of those late night stations
A C#m
Playing songs, bringing tears to my eyes.
A B
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
A/C# B/D#
When the switch broke 'cause it's old.
A/E B/F#
They're saying things that I can hardly believe.

They really think we're getting out of control.

Radio is the sound salvation.

Radio is cleaning up the nation.
A E B E
They say you better listen to the voice of reason.
A E B C#m
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason.
B C#m
So you had better do as you are told.
B E
You better listen to the radio.
|E B7 E|B |E B7 E|B |
Am E
I want to bite the hand that feeds me.
Am E
I want to bite that hand so badly.
C#m B7
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.
Some of my friends sit around every evening

And they worry about the times ahead.
But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
And the promise of an early bed.
You better shut up or get cut up;
They don't wanna hear about it.
It's only inches on the reel-to-reel.
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
Trying to anaesthetise the way that you feel.

Running Out of Angels

from the new Rykodisc re-release of This Year's Model
tabbed by Mark Schnitzius (schnitzi@east.isx.com)
The blurb on the song:
"[This song] must have been recorded some time after This
Year's Model. [It is] rare in the sense that most songs
from this time were written in hotel rooms, rehearsed on
tour buses or at soundchecks and then recorded. There was
hardly ever any time to make demo tapes. However, this
is an exception... 'Running Out of Angels', which includes
a false start, sounds as if I was making it up as I went
along. I probably was."
------------------------------------------------------------
Spoken: 'Alright.'
G F G F
G F G F
G F G F
They say they're running out of angels
G F G F
They say I'm running out of time
G F G F
Oh you don't have to be lucky
G F G F
It is easier than trying, now they're bringing down a
C Bb C Am D C
Hammer on anything that sells
Spoken: 'No, sorry, I blew it on the first one.'
G F G F
G F G F
G F G F
G F G F
G F G F
G F G F
C Bb C Am D C
C Bb
I suppose you're a winner
C Am D C D C
Because they're running out of angels
G F G F G F G F
All the lies upon the tongues of all the girls upon the rails
G F G D C D C
Will ruin any man who moved too soon
G F G F G F G F
All except the one who seems to know more than she tells
G F G
You know she looks just like an angel
F G F D C D C
but she sings so out of tune
G F G F

She looked like she learned to dance

>From a series of still pictures
E C#m
She's madly excited now
B A
She throws her hands up like a tulip
G#7/B#
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B -----------
She looks like an illustration of a cocktail party | | 1 1 1 |

G#m G#7/B#
Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air
C#m F#7/A# B A
Champagne rolls off her tongue like a second language

And it should have been her biggest night | | 1 | | |

A F# B B7/D# E
The satellite looks down on her as she begins to cry
B7/D#

All over the world at the very same time | | 1 | | |
| | | 2 | 2
| | | | | |
B B7/D# E
People sharing the same sorrow
C#m A
As the satellite looks down
B A B7
Her darkest hour is somebody's bright tomorrow
E C#m B A
He pulled on a cigarette in the crook of his first finger
E C#m B A
Felt the static electric charge of her perfect hourglass figure
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B

As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness was his talent
G#m G#7/B# C#m

How could she know as she stepped through the lights
F#7/A# B A
That her dress would become transparent
B E
And with his face pressed to the screen
A F# B B7/D# E
He muttered words he'd never dare to say if she could see him
tacet C#m A
All over the world at the very same time
B B7/D# E
People sharing the same cheap sensation
C# A
The thrill of watching somebody watching
B A B7
Those forbidden things we never mention
[chorus]
E C#m7 A B7 E
The satellite looks down right now and forever
C#m7 A B7
What it has pulled apart, let no man tether
G#m F# F#m
His own body to his dream, his dream to someone else
B B7
Oh no, oh no
E C#m B A
She went back to her pitiful compromise, he'd go back to his family
E C#m B A
But for the matter of a thousand miles that separated them entirely
B G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B

In the hot unloving spotlight with the secrets it arouses
G#m G#7/B# C#m F#7/A# B A

Now they both know what it's like inside a pornographer's trousers
B E
And in a funny way it's anonymous
A F# B B7/D# E C#m
The satellite, it blesses us and makes these dreams come true
A C#m A
All over the world at the very same time
C#m
All over the world

Sleep of the Just
G Bm
The soldier asked my name and did I come here very often
Em C
Well I thought that he was asking me to dance
G Bm
In my holy coat and hat and him in his red bonnet
Em C
We'd have made a lovely couple but we never had the chance
[chorus:]
G C
And now you say that you've got to go
G C
Well if you must you must
G C D G C G D
I suppose that you need the sleep of the just
Well it was a powerful day and there were black crows in the road
And I kept my strong opinions to my chest
I suppose I should have told them that I was on fire for you
When the bus burst into flames outside some place, 'The Poet's Rest'
[Repeat chorus; come out like this:] G C G G7
C Bm
A girl woke up in a naked light and said
C G
He even looked like her brother in the army but she never mentions him
B7 Em
He'll be tucked up in his bed tonight with his dirty-pictures girl
C
Saying, 'You're some mother's daughter you know or is it
D D/C D/B D/A

immaterial girl?'
Now she's pinned up upon the barracks wall in her home town
All the soldiers taking turns with their attentions
And as they speculate what she'd look like beneath that thin nightgown
His family pride was rising up as he cast his eyes down
[Last chorus: come out of it with Em then repeat verse chords

to fade]

What can I say, should I look away?
Em A D A D A
It´s still too soon to know

Are you sorry or is it still too soon to know

It didn´t take much to break us in two

For rivers in the way did he came close to touching you

The look in your eyes, I thought I recognised

Suffering Face
by Elvis Costello
>From "The King of America" Reissue
Transcribed by Denis O'Connell (denis@natural.com)
E B7 A E
There's an old man's fantasy put in a young girl's mouth
C#m G#m A E
like cheap pink lipstick smeared on a wedding dress
C#m G#m
Will you look what you've done to her,
A
will you look at this disgrace.
E B7 A E f# g# A
Oh, it's all over your suffering face.
E f# g# A
E B7
If we were chrome we would be rusted,
A E
if we were thirst we would be quenched.
C#m G#m
You don't need the same old rivet gun,
A E
you need a brand new wrench.
C#m G#m
Someone to pull you down on the ground
A
and cover you with kisses.
E A
Once I was the jewel of your heart,
now I'm only semi-precious.
C#m G#m A
But if I seem so preoccupied,
C#m G#m A E
it's just my alibi, I'm all broken up inside.
C#m G#m A E
Even the words of love, seem cruel and crass,
C#m G#m A Asus A
when you're tough and transparent as armored glass.
E B7 A E
I prepared a bed for you, then I sprayed perfume
C#m G#m A E
upon the wilted roses that I'd scattered 'round the room.
C#m G#m
You came in gentle as a lamb,
A E
and turned into a terror.
E B7 A
and you left your "love another" threats in the steam
Asus A
fading on my bathroom mirror.
E B7 A E
But it's an old man's fantasy put in a young girl's mouth
C#m G#m A E
like cheap pink lipstick smeared on a wedding dress.
C#m G#m A E
Will you look what you've done to me,
A E
now you've put me in my place.
E B7
and it's all over,
C#m
it's all over,
E B7
it's all over
A
your suffering face.
Finish on E
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This is my first attempt at an Elvis transcription, so if

anyone has any corrections or comments please feel free to update my chords (I know there are more
than a few mistakes in it.) I have used the notation that has been common for these
transcriptions : a lowercase letter means play the bass note, but keep the previous chord
formation. For example, after the first verse I play the E chrord regularly, and use my thumb to
play the bass notes quickly.
From reading the CD liner notes, it seems that Elvis was
kind of drunk when he recorded this song. I think that it gives his voice a sort of slurry
quality that fits this song perfectly, plus I always love it when it is just Elvis accompanying
himself on the guitar. He also steals a line from "Crimes of Paris" (or did "Crimes of Paris"
steal it from this song), when he talks about "the words of love".
Please enjoy and keep those other transcriptions coming!

EC loves to take a regular chord and play it with the third in the bass
instead of the root-like a D with an F# on the bottom. I once read an
interview with Paul McCartney where they asked him what it was about Brian
Wilson's Pet Sounds that he drew on for inspiration during his Sgt. Pepper
period, and he said "Brian would take a C chord and play a G in the bass."
You can find these "5th in the bass" chords all through the songs of
McCartney and Brian Wilson. I haven't transcribed that much EC yet, but I
know he likes the 3rd and 7th quite a bit. Steely Dan & Co. take the whole
thing even farther by putting notes in the bass which aren't even in the
chord at all, like an F chord with a G in the bass going to a G chord with
a C in the bass. Or an A chord with a G in the bass.
But I digress! The chord is Sulky Girl is a D chord, but with an F# in the
bass. At the beginning of the Bridge he sings: "Sul...ky Girl" and right on
"Girl" he plays the D/F# chord. So D IS the right chord, but putting that
F# in the bass is what makes it sound so cool. Then he does it again on
"cry" in "when you cry". What happens after that is wild, and I'm not sure
what the guitar is doing, but the bass is going C C E C F E C. I think the
guitar is just playing C to F to C, switching to F when the bass does.
What a great song-and as with most great songs, the bassline is a melody,
not just a bunch of chord roots. The next part is great.
It's like money in the bank (bass: C E C F E C)

Your expression is blank (bass: C C E F E C)
But while the chance appears (bass: C C F C F)
I think your chords are right, except maybe it goes C F C instead of F C

F-my mail program has everything so mixed up that I can't tell what goes
with what anyway.
But I digress-when it goes to the little vamp on sulky girl, the bass
player does the third in the bass trick again, this time on the C chord.
The bass goes: G G F F E D C, with the E hitting right when the C chord
comes in.
Earlier in the song, on the chorus there's another hint of 3rd in the bass.
On "hold your tongue" the bass plays F# D G.
The hardest part for me to hear is "never been that strong". The bass here
is just wicked! My trick for picking out hard basslines is to record the cd
onto a 2 speed tape deck at the slow speed and then listen to it at the
fast speed. This makes Mssr. Costello sound like Alvin the Chipmunk, but it
also brings the bassline up exactly one octave into the guitar's range and
makes the pitches very clear. The only problem is when the bass starts
playing really fast, like he's playing here.
Oh-wait-there's the McCartney chord! On the "though" of "although" the bass

is running up off of an E, so at the moment the guitar hits A, the bass is
on E, the fifth.
Here's another trick: rest your finger on pause and hit it right after he
says "although" and let the sound of it roll around in your head in the
ensuing silence. God I love Elvis Costello! Have you ever heard that song
that Prince wrote called "I Love You More Than I Did When You Were Mine"?.
It was covered by Cindy Lauper on her first album. Not that I'm a giant CL
fan, mind you, but what she said "I know" in "I know....that you're goin'
with another guy..." it killed me. I love that song. Anyway, "I know" is
the exact same rhythm, notes and rhyme as "Although" in this song, but EC
takes it a step further by putting the E in bass.
But I digress. On "never been that strong" the bass player, I think, goes D
D C B A G, so we've got D, D/C, G/B, and then he runs down to the root of
the G.
This is that 7th in the bass I was talking about. A D chord with a C in the
bass. This kind of chord loves to have the bass go down one fret to a chord
with the third in the bass: D/C to G/B. EC loves this progression and does
all sorts of exceedingly clever things with it.
But i digress-there's one more third in the bass chord right at the end of
the chorus. When he sings "I'm sorry to say that you knew all along" the
chords are like you have them, G A D G, but after the 2nd G chord comes the
D/F# again, on its way down to Emi A Emi F#mi.
But wait! If anyone has actually read this far, HOW WOULD YOU INTERPRET THE
LYRICS???
p.s. If you listen to Pony Street -"If you're going out tonight..." then on
"How can you be" is the McCartney chord again, G/D. Then on "When you lay
our pretty pal" (is that the words?) he goes to Ami with E in the bass. Two
McCartney chords in a row!-I haven't heard that since Pet Sounds. Try
singing that part of the song with just regular G and Ami-it just doesn't
make it. So-maybe elvis has been listening to the Beach Boys! God-I hope he
doesn't listen to the words!!!

See your friends despite all the arrangements.
See your friends Nothing here has changed.

The big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelids

And it snapped them up like roller blinds and told me things that I did

I can't face another day and night of good ideas and complications

And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories
I didn't even touch the light switch so I knew I'd never see
The Haggard face that would be staring back at me

Well I had a little feeling to have a big time

And I woke to alarm bells like a big church chime
I had to face the who am I and who is she what did I do
But worst of all I had to face the big light

Well it's fine to go out and have a big night

Here's Elvis Costello's "The Only Flame in Town".

This transcription is based on the live version of the Ryko
reissue of "Goodbye Cruel World", but it works well witht the
studio version too, except in someplace they use the ending
chords in the middle and there are some walk ups - enjoy.
Intro E
*verse 1*
E F#m
I know a girl, got my mind in a mess
G#m A G#m F#m

I never heard her say goodnight and God bless
B E
She's not the only flame in town
E F#m G#m
*verse 2 - same except were noted*

And when we're alone we never quarrel
I'm miles away, now here's the moral
E E7
*chorus*
A B G#m C#m
D
She's got to stop thinking that I'm
A E
Carrying this torch around
*verse 3 - same as verse 1*

He struck a match and lit up her face
We should have struck a match girl
To burn down the whole place
Now you're not the only flame in town
*verse 4 - same as verse 2*

But you blew hot and cold
Turnmy heart to a cinder
And with each passing day
You'd be less tender and more tinder
Now you're not the only flame in the town
*chorus - same*
She's got to stop thinking that I'm
Carrying this torch around
*verse 5 -same as verse 1 except where noted*

Thought I saw your face in the fire
But its so hard to remember
Even an inferno can cool down to an ember
Now you're not the only flame
E F#m G#m E F#m G#m

You're not the only flame
G#m E F#m G#m

You're not the only flame in town

>From the wonderful Elvis disk All This Useless Beauty. A previous
version of this song can be found on the Til Tuesday album Everything's
Different Now. Elvis co-wrote this one with Aimee Mann but changed the
lyrics and (in my opinion) made the song better for this version.
This song is (c) 1996 Warner Bros Records. I'm sure Elvis has some
publishing rights as does Aimee Mann...

1: Bb F C F Dm Eb
Until it's just as tiny or important as you like
Bb F C Bb
And in time we won't even recall that we spoke
F C Bb
Words that turned out to be as big as smoke
C F
As smoke disappears in the air
Bb C F
There's always something smoldering somewhere

Chorus: I know it don't make a difference to you

But oh it sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope
Dm
At the other end

At the other end of the telescope
(Bb) F C F Dm C
Verse The promise of indulgence in my confidential voice
2: Bb F C F Dm Eb
Approached immortal danger but you'll never know how close
Bb F C Bb
Then down the hall I overheard such a heavenly choir
F C Bb
They interrupted my evil desires
C F
One day you're up in the clouds
Bb C F
The next thing you're down with the Sweet Adelines
(chorus)
C Bb F
Bridge: Lie down baby now don't say a word
C Bb F
There there baby your vision is blurred
Dm C Bb F
Your head is so sore from all of that thinking
Dm
I don't want to hurt you now
C
But I think you're shrinking
Bb F C F Dm C
Verse You're half naked ambition and you're half out of your wits
3: Bb F C F Dm Eb
Or several tiny fractions that this portrait still omits
Bb F C Bb
Now it's so hard to pick the receiver up when I call
F C Bb
I never noticed you could be so small
C F
The answer was under your nose
Bb C F
But the question never arose
C Bb F
Chorus: I know it don't make a difference to you
C Bb F
But oh it sure made a difference to me
C Dm F
You'll see me off in the distance I hope
C Dm F
With a bamboo needle on a shellac of Chopin
C Dm F
And the cast iron heart that you failed to tear open
Dm
At the other end
Bb C Bb
At the other end of the telescope

The conversation melts like chocolate down our open jaws
Through the loud appeal of laughter

Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home overseas
With a blindfold and a national anthem sung in different keys

C F C/E G/D G
Well it was all sixty-five years ago

C F C/E G/D G
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea

With a picture of Veronica

On the "Empress of India"
Bb C
And as she closed her eyes upon the world
Am Fm
And picked upon the bones of last week's news

Thank you VERY MUCH to Jason who posted the response below. Cheers, Matt.
This is from one of my Elvis books:
Watching The Detectives Elvis Costello
Am
Nice girls, not one with a defect
F
Cellophane shrink wrap, so correct
Am F
Red dogs under illegal legs
Am F
She looks so good that he gets down and begs
CH:
C
She is watching the detectives
G
"Ooh, he's so cute"
C
Watching the detectives
G C F D
When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
Am G
They beat him up until the teardrops start
F C G
But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart
Long shot of that jumping sign

Visible shivers running down my spine
Cut to baby taking off her clothes
Close up of the sign that says, "We never close"
You snatch a tune, you match a cigarette

She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake ... (CH)
You think you're alone, until you realize you're in it

Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit
Someone's scrathing at the door, I wonder who is it?
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
It only took my little fingers to blow you away
C G
Just like watching the detectives,
C
Don't get cute
G
Watching the detectives,
Am G
I get so angry when the teardrops start
F C
But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart
G C
Watching the detectives,
Watching the detectives
Am F

Intro (acoustic) D Gm D Gm D
Intro (full band) Em F#m G A D 3xs and hold on last D
D Bm
How many times can you jump out of the cupboard
F#m A
Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered
D Bm
You can live forever in a split second of fame
F#m A
Come on down, the price is right, whats you name
G D
While crocodile makes good shoes
G D
And a dog may changes his coat
Bm F#m
I can't change what's written on your
Bm F#m Em
face tonight and I quote
*Chorus*
Bm F#m
Oh I wish you could see
Bm F#m Em
Quite how much you could mean to me
(Em F#m G A D)
G
You worthless thing
(Em Em F#m G)
D G
If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome
Bm F#m Em
I might pay this kings ransom
(Em F#m G A D)
G D Dsus2
You worthless thing
*verse 2 - same*
They commit blue murder along union avenue
Then they sell you souvenir matches
Nightclubs full of grave robbers from Memphis, Tennessee
And Las Vegas body snatchers
And he's carrying a warning

Can't you see how his eyes glint
Keep you bloody hands off my life
Your affectionate fingerprint
*same as first chorus except no D and Dsus2 on acoustic version*

You worthless thing

Do you think that he's divine
Em
You've seen the film
(Em F#m G)
G
You've read the book
(Em F#m G Em [F#m hold])
You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine
*verse 3 - same*
Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large
They'll cut her down to size on television
She's available and beautiful, but with more time to devote
They're going to take this cable now
And stick it down your throat
So this is an obituary
Which should be right and fitting
For every clock work cat and
Conceivable kitten
* same as other chorus 2 with noted exceptions)
You worthless thing
You worthless thing
Full band fade on (Em F#m G A D)

Acoustic
D G
Aaahhh You worthless thing
Aaahhh You worthless thing

lyrics and chords of: You Tripped At Every Step by Elvis Costello And The Attractions

date: 95/10/15
G Em/B C G/D
Take your tiny feet out of your mother´s shoes
Bm Em Am7 D7
Or there´s is going to be a terrible scene
G Em/B C G/D
It´s not just a lipstick drawn on crooked when they
Bm Em
Find how wicked we are
B Bdim C
How wicked we have been
E Am
How I´ve been tempted
C G/D D C
How you tripped at every step
Em C Em
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
C Bm D/A C
Oh, how you tripped at every step
G Em/B C G/D
There´s a merry tune that starts in "I" and ends
Bm Em Am7 D7
In "You", like many famous pop songs do
G Em/B C G/D
You would sing along with little tell-tale staggers
Bm Em
While balancing on daggers
B Bdim C
Thou they were killing you
E Am
You looked so deadly
C G/D D C
As you tripped at every step
Em C Em
C Bm D/A C
Eb Cm7 Ab6 G7
And I would try to catch you anytime you call
Cm7 Bb7
Only you drank that potion and went out of control
Eb Cm7 Ab6 G7
There´s nothing to stop you so how can you fall
C Am
Let me take your hand
Bb/F D/F#
Put down that frying pan
G Em/B C G/D
Darkness would become me, underneath the table
Bm Em Am7 D7
As the fury raged around the house
G Em/B C G/D
Your despairing tread was angry and unstable
Bm Em
You never suspected
B Bdim C
Just as this cartoon mouse
E Am
Went undetected
C G/D D C
Em C Em
C Bm D/A C
G Em/B C G/D
In another world of gin and cigarettes
Bm Em Am7 D7
Those cocktail cabinets put mud in your eye
G Em/B C G/D
Maybe that is why you find it hard to see me
Bm Em
And if you don´t believe me
B Bdim C
Before you start to cry
E Am
"Don´t eve leave me."
C G/D D C
Em C Em
C Bm D/A C
Original tune is in D-Major!

And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls

If you think you might come to California...I think you should
Drove up to the Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.

And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower about

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe

I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's been one more day up in the canyon

It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.

I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not
show her

Maybe this year will be better than the last *(fill 2)
To hold on to these moments as they pass *(fill 4)
And it's one more day up in the canyon *(fill 5, played w/ a slide)
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should

Murder of One - Counting Crows
transcribed by Steve Vetter [vetters@vax1.elon.edu]
lyrics from cs.uwp.edu
This is really loosely done. You'll definitely have to listen to

the recording.
F# 244322
B x24442
C#m x46644
F# F# B B F# F# B B
C#m
Blue morning Blue morning
B
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
C#m
Curiosity, Kitten,
B
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
C#m
You can look outside your window
B
He doesn't have to know
C#m
We can talk awhile, baby
B
We can take it nice and slow
F# B
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
F# B
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream
Are you happy when you're sleeping?

Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've been wondering where we've gone
All your life is such a shame

All your love is just a dream
C#m B
I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow
C#m B
Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows
C#m B
One for sorrow Two for joy
Three for girls and four for boys
Five for silver Six for gold and
Seven for a secret never to be told
There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in
F#m B
Open up your eyes
You can see the flames of your wasted life
You should be ashamed
You don't want to waste your life
F#
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
B
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
F# B
Change, chane, change

Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand
Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?

I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now
Where'd you come from? Where am I going?

@SONG: Anna Begins by the Counting Crows

Intro:

------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
Verse is Am-Am-G-G
Chorus1 is Em-C-D
Chorus2 is G-C-Em-D
(verse)
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
I am not worried
I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me, "For one time only,
Make an exception."
I am not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried
I am not overly concerned with the status of my emotions
"Oh," she says, "you're changing."
But we're always changing
(chrous1)
It does not bother me to say this isn't love
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
And I guess I'm going to have to live with that
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey
Something in between
And I can always change my name
If that's what you mean
(verse)
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself
To make yourself forget
I am not worried
(chorus1)
"If it's love," she said, "then we're going to have to
Think about the consequences."
She can't stop shaking
I can't stop touching her and
(chorus2)
This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days," she says
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing
(verse)
But I'm not going to break
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not going to bend and I'm not going to break
It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should
Snap her up in a butterfly net
Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
I've done this sort of thing before
(chorus1)
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleepin a quiet room and...
(chorus2)
The time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind
And everytime she sneezes I believe it's love and
Oh Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
(chorus2)
She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake and
Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
(chorus2)
Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away
She disappears and

From: ken@cloudbusting.apple.com (Ken McLeod)
(NB During the verses, the guitar plays the riff shown - the chords
marked are implied by the keyboards and bass. However, during the
chorus, the guitar plays the chords as shown.
Note also the funky "Sleeping children.." bit. On the album, there
is definitely a chord change implied from A to G (by the wah-wah
guitar and possibly the keyboards) but the main guitar and bass
play the same thing under both chords, which kind of confuses the
ear. You can approximate what's happening like this

C (riff) D
Step out the front door like a ghost
Em G/D
into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white.
C D
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Em G/D
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
C D
I walk in the air between the rain, through myself and back again
Em G/D
Where? I don't know
C D
Maria says she's dying. Through the door, I hear her crying
Em G/D
Why? I don't know
C D Em G/D
Round here we always stand up straight
C D Em G/D
Round here something radiates
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand

She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house Takes her clothes off,
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
C D Em G/D
Round here we're carving out our names
C D Em G/D
Round here we all look the same
C D
Round here we talk just like lions
Em G/D
But we sacrifice like lambs
C D Em A D A
Round here she's slipping through my hands / / Oh...
G/A A G/A A
Sleeping children got to run like the wind Out of the lightning dream
G/A A C D
Mama's little baby better get herself in Out of the lightning
She says, "It's only in my head."
She says, "Shhh...I know it's only in my head."
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
says: "Man, you should try to take a shot
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
Then she looks up at the building she says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life; she must be tired of something.
C D Em G/D
Round here she's always on my mind
C D Em G/D
Round here I got lots of time
C D
Round here we're never sent to bed early
Em G/D
Nobody makes us wait
C D Em G/D
Round here we stay up very very very very late
C D Em G/D
I can't see nothing, nothing around here
C D
You catch me if I'm falling, you catch me if I'm falling
Em G/D
Will you catch me 'cause I'm falling down round here
I said I'm under the gun round here

I'm innocent, I'm under the gun round here
I can't see nothing, nothing round here.

-- OMAHA -- Counting Crows
From: btobin@infinet.com (Bruce S. Tobin),
These chords were figured out by Matt Fleming.
Further corrections by Paul Hutchinson.
This was orginally posted with no capo. I have been informed that the
Crows play it with a capo on 2 and I found that it makes it a lot easier
to play. I have changed the file to be played with a capo on II.
Note the A chord in the verse. At times, if you sing it by yourself, it

will sound like it should be an Am, but I assure you that it should
definitely be an A. If you play it as Asus2, it might make things easier.
Intro:
Em D Em C
Em Bm
Start tearing the old man down
D A Em
Run past the heather and down to the old road
Bm C
Start turning the grain into the ground
Em
Roll a new leaf over
Bm D
In the middle of the night there's an old man
A Em
Treading around in the gathered rain
Bm D
Well mister if you want to walk on water
C G
Could you drop a line my way
Chorus:
D Em
Omaha
C
Somewhere in middle America
G D C
Get right to the heart of matters
G D
It's the heart that matters more
Em A C
I think you'd better turn your ticket in
G D/F# Em Em/D C G/B D/A
And get your money back at the door
Verse 2:
Start threading a needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire
Roll the new life over
Threading his toes through a bucket of rain
Hey mister you don't want to walk on water
You're only going to walk all over me
[Chorus]
[Bridge chords] x 4
Verse 3:
Start running the banner down
Drop past the color come up through the summer rain
Start turning the girl into the ground
Roll a new love over
In the middle of the day there's a young man
Rolling around in the earth and rain
Hey mister if you're going to walk on water, you know

(verses Ams2 x02200 - G 320003)

Ams2
G
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
Ams2
My friend implores me, "For one time only,
G
make an exception." I am not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
With the status of my emotions
"Oh," she says, you're changing
But we're always changing
It does not bother me to
(bridge Em 022000 - Cmaj7 x32000 - D13 x54000)

Em
Say this isn't love
Cmaj7 D13 Em
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
Cmaj7 D13
And I guess I'm going to have to live with that
Em Cmaj7
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey
D13
Or something in between
Em Cmaj7 D13
And I can always change my name if that's what you mean
[2nd verse]
My friend assures me "It's all or nothing"
But I am not really worried I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself
To make yourself forget, I am not worried
[Bridge]
"If it's love," she said, "then we're gonna have to think about the
consequences."
She can't stop shaking, I can't stop touching her and..
(Chorus G 320033 - Csus2 x32033 - Am7s4 x02233 - D xx0232 - Em7 xx2033)

G Csus2 Am7s4 D G
This time when kindness falls like rain it washes her away
Csus2 Em7 Dsus4 G
And Anna begins to change her mind
Csus2 Am7s4 Dsus4 G Csus2
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days"
Em7 Dsus4
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing
[3rd verse]
But I'm not gonna break
I'm not going to bend, and I'm not going to break and I'm
not going to worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say, 'As long as this is love...'
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should
Snap her up in a butterfly net
Pin her down in a photograph album
I am not worried - I've done this sort of thing before
[Bridge]
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and..
[Chorus]
This time when kindness falls like rain it washes me away
And Anna begins to change my mind
And every time she sneezes I believe it's love
and Oh Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
Oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing
Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along
And Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away it disappears and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

[Ken sent me an article that was posted a while back: - sv]
Just to expand a little further, while playing the 'D' chord during the
verses, it sounds like he may be occasionally pulling off the 1st string
(2nd fret), then hammering on again for the next strum.
Here's an attempt to tab the the way I'm currently playing it, with bass
notes added for the piano chord part (sounds ok to my ears, although I
haven't worked it out to see if it's correct.) Your mileage may vary.
Feel free to jump in and correct me, show me a different way, etc.
V = pluck bass notes together

/ = strum top three strings, alternating up & down strums
D D4

Take the way home that leads back
to Sullivan Street ...
In the change from D to D4, your index finger moves from the G string
down to the A string, then back. Of course, this whole sequence isn't
strictly repeated over and over... sometimes there are the little
piano runs in between, and so on.

-- GHOST TRAIN -- Counting Crows
From: Paul Hutchinson
NB The verses of this are a bit harmonically strange in that, like Round
Here and Time and Time Again, the guitar is not playing chords during
the verses, and so the bass carries the song rather a lot. However, I
get the impression that the verses are based on Dm the whole way
through, with the bass guitar playing Ds and Fs (and a G just before
the first verse). This should make the song horribly boring for you if
you're trying to play it by yourself without a bass guitarist, but
them's the breaks.
On the album, the guitar and some other strange instrument are messing
about with the following notes during the verses - listen to the tape
to get a better idea:

-- RAINING IN BALTIMORE -- Counting Crows
From: Ken McLeod

Corrections by Paul Hutchinson
Dm Bb C F
This circus is falling down on its knees
Dm Bb C
The big top is crumbling down
Dm Bb C F
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
Dm Bb C
Where you should be, no one's around
Bb F
I need a phone call
Bb F
I need a raincoat
Bb F
I need a big love
Bb F
I need a phone call
These train conversations are passing me by

And I don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way
I need a
phone call
I need a
plane ride
I need a
sunburn
I need a
raincoat
C Bb
And I get no answers
C Bb
And I don't get no change
C Bb F
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
Bb F C
But everything else is the same
There's things I remember and things I forget
I miss you, I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?
I need a phone call; Maybe I should buy a new car;

I can always hear a freight train; If I listen real hard
And I wish it was a small world
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat
I really, really need a raincoat
I really, really, really need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat

Intro: |D |Dsus2 |G | Gmaj7| x2
A
Blue morning Blue morning
G
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
A
Curiosity, Kitten,
G
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
A
You can look outside your window
G
He doesn't have to know
A
We can talk awhile, baby
G
We can take it nice and slow
D Dsus2 G Gmaj7
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
D Dsus2 G Gmaj7
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream
Are you happy when you're sleeping?

Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've been wondering where we've gone

I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow

Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows
A G/B
One for sorrow Two for joy, Three for girls and four for boys
A/C# G/D
Five for silver Six for gold and Seven for a secret never to be told
There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in

Open up your eyes
You can see the flames of your wasted life
You should be ashamed
You don't want to waste your life
D
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
G
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
D G
Change, change, change
NB This figure appears and is played constantly from

'I walk these hillsides' onwards.

-- EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH -- Counting Crows
from the DGC Rarities Disk, Volume I
From: Mark Bentley <bentley@access.digex.net>
(Intro)
E A E B
(1st Verse)
[Bouncy E A E B]
Albert's always sincere, he's a sensivitive type
His intentions are clear, he wanna be well-liked
Better think of nothing, all are we anything (???)
Better to be better than to be anything
A E A E B
And Albert's vision is blooming uncontrolled
A
All his wings are slowly sinking
(Chorus)
C#m B A E
And the world begins to disappear
C#m B A E
The worst things come from inside here
C#m B A E
And all the king's men reappear
F#m A
For an eggman, on and off the wall
A
Will never be together again
E A E B
(2nd Verse)
Einstein down on the beach staring into the sand
It's everything he believes in has been shattered
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway-ay
We all get burned as:
(Bridge)
A E A E B
One more sun comes sliding down the sky
A
One more shadow leans against the wall
(Chorus)
G#m A G#m
Albert's waiting in the sun
A
On a field (?) American
G#m A B
For the cause of some inflated form of hit and run
(Solo)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
G#m A G#m
Albert's fallen on the sun
A
Cracked his head wide open
(Chorus x 2)
(Ad lib outtro)

E A E B etc
No never be together again
No no never never never again, uh huh
What you fear in the night etc..

E
In the still water she lies down
D
Shaking in the press of sunlight
A
We rolled into Lexington
E
She shakes off the drop of daylight
E
Water beading up her chest
D
Bleeding down between her knees
A
Rivers in Kentucky flow
E
Between the bluegrass wavy seas
D E
But oh, Marjorie
D A E
Twists the knife once more inside of me
Breathless with anticipation

Baited breathers set their hooks
Tuck their heads beneath the high grass
And lie and wait beside the brooks
For infants pushing slowly through

Frustration leading back along
The alleys of a childhood
Will not release us willingly
But oh, Marjorie

Sticks the knife in while I heard the sea
[solo]
F#m B? [repeat]
Dust me off and shut me down

And dream of where I haven't been
Close the door inside my heart
Stuck in the south Atlantic wind
I have hollow eyes

Haunting only to myself
Even so, I can't stop calling
This great big hollows in my self
I took the train form California

To the far side of the continent
Woke up in Kentucky
Where a wedding was about to end
I looked up at Anna
She turned back to look at me
It's best to kill the ones that matter
Render blind the ones who see
But oh, Marjorie

Takes the blade and walks away from me
Oh, Marjorie
Love like blood is pouring out of me
Oh, Marjorie
My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby
[solo over F#m and B?]
Oh, I can't shut it in

It's got far too many doors to block the wind

I wish you were inside of me

Hope that you're OK

I just wanted to say
Chorus:
Good, Goodnight, Elizabeth
Goodnight Elizabeth, Goodnight
Good, Goodnight, Elizabeth
Goodnight, Elizabeth, Goodnight
We couldn't all be cowboys

So some of us are clowns
Some of us are dancers on the midway
Roam from town to town
Well I hope that everybody

Can find a little flame
I say my prayers and I set myself one fire
And I walk out on the wire, once again
I said
[chorus]
Well I wait for you in Baton Rouge

I miss you down in New Orleans
I wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
And I miss you when I'm slipping in between
If you wrap yourself in daffodils

I will wrap myself in pain
And If you're the Queen of California
Baby, I am the King of the Rain
And I said:

I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand
and I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult
What a big baby won't somebody save me please

You won't find nobody home
Verse 2: (same as first)
all of these quiet battered voices

wait for the hunger to come
we got little revolvers and stupid choices
and no one to say when we're done
(Well I don't wanna bring you down)
I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes

'cause I know there's little things about me
that would sing in this silence of so much rejection
in every connection I make
I can't find nobody home

I never go to New York City these days
Something about the buildings and Chelsea just kills me
And maybe in a month or two,
maybe when things are different for me
maybe when things are different for you
And all of this shit sticks in my head
Chorus:
Gm Csus2/G Bb Gm Bb Bbsus2
Is anything different these days?
Gm Bb
The light in her eyes goes out
I never had light in my eyes anyways
But maybe things are different these days
It's good for everybody to hurt somebody once in a while

The things I do to people I love shouldn't be allowed
Is anything different these days?

The light in her eyes goes out
But maybe things are different these days
I dream I'm in New York City some nights

I dream I'm in New York City some nights.
Angels flow down from all the buildings
Something about an angel just kills me
I keep hoping something will
Is there anything different these days?

The light in her eyes goes out,
Maybe things are, maybe maybe maybe
Maybe things are, maybe maybe maybe maybe things are different,
Maybe things are different these days
The light goes out
Maybe things are different......
these days.

I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones

waiting for the sun to open up my heart to anyone
bring me some rain
because i'm dying and i can't get this damn thing closed again

I gotta get up from this slumber and get myself home

Verse, Guitar 1 tacet:

G
Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside
Em C A
And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive
Well I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you
It's getting cold in California
I guess I'll be leaving soon
Chorus:
D
Daylight fading
Em7 C
Come and waste another year
Em7 C G D
All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear
D Em7 C
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
Em Asus2 C
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
D
We leave just before it's gone
Repeat intro
Verse: (where indicated, gtr. 1 plays the fills below)

She said "everybody loves you"
she says, "everybody cares"
But all the things I keep inside myself,
* (w/ fill 1)
they vanish in the air * (w/ fill 2)
If you tell me that you'll wait for me
I'll say I won't be here
I want to say goodby to you
Goodbye to all my friends
Goodbye to everyone I know
Fill 1 Fill 2

I'd hoped this was a single from a new Album. Alas, it's leftover
stuff. Still a decent song, though...

(Intro)
E A E B
(1st Verse)
[Bouncy E A E B]
Albert's always sincere, he's a sensivitive type
His intentions are clear, he wanna be well-liked
Better think of nothing, all are we anything (???)
Better to be better than to be anything
A E A E B
And Albert's vision is blooming uncontrolled
A
All his wings are slowly sinking
(Chorus)
C#m B A E
And the world begins to disappear
C#m B A E
The worst things come from inside here
C#m B A E
And all the king's men reappear
F#m A
For an eggman, on and off the wall
A
Will never be together again
E A E B
(2nd Verse)
Einstein down on the beach staring into the sand
It's everything he believes in has been shattered
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway-ay
We all get burned as:
(Bridge)
A E A E B
One more sun comes sliding down the sky
A
One more shadow leans against the wall
(Chorus)
G#m A G#m
Albert's waiting in the sun
A
On a field (?) American
G#m A B
For the cause of some inflated form of hit and run
(Solo)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
G#m A G#m
Albert's fallen on the sun
A
Cracked his head wide open
(Chorus x 2)
(Ad lib outtro)

E A E B etc
No never be together again
No no never never never again, uh huh
What you fear in the night etc..

This is my first stab at guitar tab, but I am positive this is correct.

I went totally by a live version the Counting Crowes did of this tune,
since I have yet to hear the original by the Psychedelic Furs. You
can find a version of this on the "Clueless" soundtrack, which is
worth getting, mainly for this song! Drop me a line and tell me what you
think, it's nice to know this will be appreciated! Enjoy!

we couldn't all be cowboys
so some of us are clowns
and some of us are dancers no the midway

and i walk out on the wire once again
and i say
goodnight elisabeth

Verse: (chords played by organ)

D A E
She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping
She comes to me when I'm alone
She comes to me She holds my head when I'm crying
She comes to me She shuts my eyes
She brings me home
Chorus:
Guitar 1 plays the same E5 A progression it did in the intro;
The string section plays the same thing it did in the intro;
Guitar 2 plays the same part it played in the intro, except that it
omits that first chord that swells up over the E5 chord, and it
replaces the last measure with:
|--4b(5)r4b(5)r4b(5)r4--|

Verse:
She tells me when you look at me She tells me when you're lying
She tells me when you talk about me She lays me on the floor
She tells me when you're whispering She lies beside me naked
She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors

moves into the bridge:

|--------------------------|------------|

The string section plays the high note of the first three chords,
and then plays a little G#-A trill over the A chord
E5 E5maj7
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 a.m.
All alone again
D A
But I've been through all this shit before
Spend my nights in self-defense
Cry about my innocence
But I ain't all that innocent anymore
Interlude:
After the third measure of the repeat, the song changes to this:
The timing is chaotic, to say the least, so listen carefully for
exactly when these notes are sounded. Guitar 2 plays the part tabbed
out, and guitar 1 just plays the chords indicated.
The strings play an E5 chord, just a high E and B note for the
next 5 measures.

E
In the still water she lies down
D
Shaking in the press of sunlight
A
We rolled into Lexington
E
She shakes off the drop of daylight
E
Water beading up her chest
D
Bleeding down between her knees
A
Rivers in Kentucky flow
E
Between the bluegrass wavy seas
D E
But oh, Marjorie
D A E
Twists the knife once more inside of me
Breathless with anticipation

Baited breathers set their hooks
Tuck their heads beneath the high grass
And lie and wait beside the brooks
[the first two lines run together with the first two words said real rapidly]
For instance? pushing slowly through
Frustration leading back along
The alleys of a childhood
Will not release us willingly
But oh, Marjorie

Sticks the knife in while I heard the sea
[solo]
F#m B? [repeat]
Dust me off and shut me down
And dream of where I haven't been
Close the door inside my heart
Stuck in the south Atlantic wind
I have hollow eyes

Haunting only to myself
Even so, I can't stop calling
This great big hollows in my self
I took the train form California

To the far side of the continent
Woke up in Kentucky
Where a wedding was about to end
I looked up at Anna
She turned back to look at me
It's best to kill the ones that matter
Render blind the ones who see
But oh, Marjorie

Takes the blade and walks away from me
Oh, Marjorie
Love like blood is pouring out of me
Oh, Marjorie
My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby

Guitar 1 is an acoustic, tuned to open Eb (Eb Bb Eb G Bb Eb)

Guitar 2 is a mandolin, tuned down 1/2 step (Gb Db Ab Eb)
Note: Watch the time signature here. The main riff is in 14/8, which
I think of as a measure of 6 followed by a measure of 8 (as
I indicate below). But, the rest of the song is in 8/8, and the
shifts from 14/8 to 8/8 and back again are subtle.
Intro and main riff:
| |-----0-----------|----0--------------|
| |--------0--2/3\2-|-------0-----0-----|
|14|-----------2/3\2-|-0--------------0--| Guitar 1 (all of guitar 1
| 8|-----------2/3\2-|-0-----------------| is played with a slide)

Verse: (guitar 1 plays main riff over Eb)

| |/5--------5--------|
| |/5--5-----5--------|
|8|/5-----5--5--5-----| Guitar 1 plays this for the Ab chord
|8|/5--------5-----5--| (note the change to 8/8)
| |/5--------5--------|
| |/5--------5--------|
Eb
She is trapped inside a month of grey
And they take a little every day
Ab
She is a victim of her own responses
Eb
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And the runs away
Chorus:
Bb Ab

Bb Ab
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Eb (guitar 1 plays main riff)
Yeah, but she's alright with me
She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates, and then turns away
She'll change so suddenly
She's just like mercury
Bridge:

(Guitar 1 plays last 8/14 of main riff once)
Keep some sorrow in your

hearts and minds
For the things that die before their time
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler's bones
And stay beside me where I lie
She's entwined in me
Crazy as can be

Guitar 1 is an acoustic, tuned down 1/2 step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

Guitar 2 is an electric, tuned down 1/2 step
Guitar 3 is an octave mandolin, tuned down 1/2 (Gb Db Ab Eb)
Guitar 4 is a pedal steel
Note: All chords given are SOUNDING chords, not fretted chords
Note: Fills are numbered according to which guitar plays them;

I.E. Fill 2C is the third fill played by guitar 2
Note: Except for the bridge, both guitars 1 & 2 are playing very
intermittently, so their parts have all been labeled as fills.
Occasionally, during the choruses, guitar 1 strums the chords (1/2
step higher), but otherwise, everything is as notated. The mandolin
is only played during the bridge, and is tabbed for a mandolin, not
arranged for guitar. Lastly, there is a pedal steel, guitar 4,
which plays mostly chords and chord tones throughout the song. I
have not tabbed it's part out.
Verse: (Band tacet, chords played by piano, bass)

Good job! But, you are right in you're suspician about that first
chord to the chorus section -- it should be a "C" and not an "Am".
Give it a try, you will like what you hear.
So, to the masters that be, here is the .tab file, exactly as I have
downloaded it, except for the appropriate Am to C chord changes:
=====================================================================

Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody
There's a dead man trying to get out

Write me if you use this.
Note: the timing of the words to the chord changes is

approximate, because the singer uses very elastic phrasing.

The big top is crumbling down

It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
Dm Bb C Am7
Where you should be, no one's around
Bb F
I need a phone call
Bb F
I need a raincoat
Bb F
I need a big love
Bb F
I need a phone call
These train conversations are passing me by

And I don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way
I need a phone call

I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat
C Bb
And I get no answers
C Bb
And I don't get no change
C Bb F
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
C F C
But everything else is the same
There's things I remember and things I forget

I miss you I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?
I need a phone call Maybe I should buy a new car

I can always hear a freight train If I listen real hard
And I wish it was a small world
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down
I need a phone call

I need a raincoat

Here is what I've come up with for "Round Here" by Counting Crows.

repeat 4x for intro and throughout verses
Verse:

into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air between the rain
through myself and back again
Where? I don't know
Maria says she's dying
through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don't know
Chorus:
C D Em G
C D Em G
Verse:

she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
she parks her car outside of my house
takes her clothes off
says she's close to understanding Jesus
she knows she's just a little misunderstood
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Chorus:

Verse:
E (with main riff played by organ, guitar 1 enters with chords)
Come on in baby, guess you want to touch me now
You want to put your hands on my face, and
Tell me you love me, tell me you need me
Don't say that you love me
Don't say anything, 'cause
A
I am not that kind of man
I'm much less than you think I am
(Back to main riff)

|-------------------| Guitar 2 doubles main riff, except replacing
|-------6b(7)r6-----| the second measure with this

So many people are just like Jesus,

They drag all this weight to get to anything better than
Where they've been, or where they are
Well tell me what the hell's the reason when we're never getting
anywhere, but
A
You want me to say "Hey, it's OK."
But I'm so dizzy, baby, just get the hell away from me
Chorus:
E B A * (guitar 2 plays fill 1)
How can you breathe?
E B A
How can you see?
E B A E *(guitar 2 plays fill 2)
I can't even sleep when you're with me

Verse: (organ and guitar 2 play simile to first verse)

I'm sick of summertime,
I know all of the best things in life are unkind
I could be everything, I could be anything, but
All the time I think that if I only had a pair if wings...
But you won't touch me

Just take your hands off me, don't touch me baby
I can't receive it, you see...
How can you see?

I can't feel a thing when you're with me
Bridge:
Organ sustains an E chord for 16 measures,
Guitar 1 enters after 8 measures, and then plays an E as well
Guitar 2 plays variations on these four measures for the whole

bridge, usually holding the last note over the next measure

From: Preserved Moose <jfafreak@wam.umd.edu>
Sullivan Street
Recorded by Counting Crows
>From the Album "August and Everything After"
Figured out by jfafreak@wam.umd.edu
These are the two main chords that make up the song
(actually, the main riff)
E--2--2--2-------2-------|
B--3--3--3-------3-------|
G--2--2--2-------0-------|
D--0-----0-------0-------|
A--------0---0---x-------|
E----------------3-------|
Strum those in rhythm, and it should sound right.

Those are the chords for all of the verse parts.
For the bridge, just apreggiate them.
The verse is just a repetition on those chords for 8 bars I think,

heres the chorus
G A Em G D
I'm almost drowning in her sea, shes nearly crawlin on her knees
Fpr the last chorus, its
G A Em A Em
I'm almost drowning in her sea, she's nearly crawlin on her knees,
G D
It's almost everything I need
Essentailly for everything not Tabbed out, play the main riff.
Good luck!

let's hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
they drop it on the Viet Cong
come on mothers throughout the land

pack your boys off to Viet Nam

send your sons off before it's too late
and you can be the first ones on your block
to have your boy come home in a box

Hi!!! I promised these chords and lyrics to someone...I just don't have their
e-mail. Hope this helps whoever it was!!!
Save the Whales by Country Joe MacDonald
Am G
When my grandpa was a boy, he went down to the general store
Am G Am
Saw a picture book of whales, shooting their spouts and flashing their tails
Am G
Then he got a sailor's dream about cruisin' around on the salty sea
Am G Am
Joined up with a fishin' crew to go out and get him a whale or two
Am G
Tell me what kind of men are these who sail upon the salty seas
Am G
Up in the riggin' in the afternoon, swabbin' the decks and
Am
sharpening harpoons
CHORUS:
Am
Hooray and up she rises
G
Am
G Am
Early in the morning
There's lots of whales in the deep blue sea and we kill them for the industry
We drag'em along side and cut'em in two and melt'em down and sell it to you
There hardly is a sailor alive who can keep the tears from his eyes
As he remembers the good old days, when there were no whales to save
Now we can thank the companies for scouring the deep blue seas
Looking for ivory and perfume and oil to light your living room
CHORUS
Shanghaied by the light of the moon, put up in Boston in the middle of June
After six months I left the sea, nothing but death and misery
Set out on a 3 year cruise, a union ship and a union crew
After six months you begin to see, whaling's not what it used to be
A modern ship and a modern crew with sonar scopes and exploding harpoons
A mechanincal boat made out of steel and a floating machine gun to kill the
whale
CHORUS
Repeat first verse
CHORUS

WHO AM I - Country Joe and the Fish
C G C G D7
Who am I to stand and wonder, to wait
C G C G
While the wheels of fate slowly grind my life away
C G
Who am I
(G) C
There were some things that I loved one time
G C
But the dreams are gone I thought were mine
G C
And the hidden tears that once did fall
G C
Now burn inside at the thought of all
G C
The years of waste, the years of cryin'
G C
The passions of a heart so blind
G C
To think that, but even still
G C
As I stand exposed to the feelings I felt
G C D7 G
And I cried into the echoes of my loneliness
CHORUS
What a nothing I've made of life

The empty words, the coward's plight
To be pushed and passed from hand to hand
Never daring to speak never daring to stand
And the emptiness in my family's eye
Reminds me over and over of lies
And promises and deeds undone
And now again I have to run
But now there is nowhere to run to
CHORUS
Now my friend we meet again

And we shall see which one will bend
Under the strain of death's golden eyes
Which one of us will win the prize
To live - and which one will die
'Tis I my friend, yes 'tis I
Will kill to live again and again
Clutch the throat of sweet revenge
For life is here only for the taking
CHORUS
I hope these lyrics are correct. I got the chords from Barry Melton, one of the Fish, in our
short e-mail correspondence. If anyone out there has chords or tabs for Rock Coast Blues, I would
be eternally grateful.

ONE TIN SOLDIER COVEN
F C Dm
Listen children to a story that was written long ago
Bb F Gm7
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below
F C Dm
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone
Bb F Gm7 F Bb F
And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own
CORUS:
Am Bb F
Go ahead and hate your neighbour, go ahead and cheat a friend
Am Bb F
Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end
Am Bb F
There won't be any trumpets blowin, come the judgement day
Bb <rest>
On the bloody morning after......
Bb F Bb
One tin soldier rides away.
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill

Asking for the buried treasure tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the kingdom "With our brothers we wil share
All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there."
CHORUS
Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword
and they killed the mountain people so the won their just reward
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark and red
turned the stone and looked beneath it, "Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Hi everybody. Here's another of the great songs from the

Coverdale/Page album. I regret to admit that I am not responsible
for most of the material, it was sent to me from someone else.
(Thanks, Chuck). Please send your complements to ceh1@acpub.duke.edu,
because all I did was clean it up a little, add some more
characteristic leads, and correct a couple of the notes. (Don't
worry, Chuck--the most you were ever off by was about 1 fret. Not
bad for remembering it by air guitar). Hope you like it, because I
love it. Bluesy and a lot of room to ad lib...
Coverdale/Page - Don't Leave Me This Way

going to sound quite right, but heres an attempt to capture
it.

B-|-/6-6-6-6\-----/4-4-4-4\--/3-3-3-3\--/4-4-4-4\---| Note: only play this
G-|-/10-10-10-10\-/8-8-8-8\--/7-7-7-7\--/8-8-8-8\---| on one of the strings,
D-|-------------------------------------------------| whatever sounds right
A-|-------------------------------------------------| and is comfortable to
E-|-------------------------------------------------| you.
And once in a while, the end of the main Rythm Part changes a little:
e-|------------------------------------|
b-|------------------------------------|
g-|----0-----0-----0-------------------|
d-|--2-----2-----2---------------1^3---|
a-|3-----1-----0-----------1--3--------|
E-|-------------------1--3-------------|
Solo Guitar throughout song mostly stays within one blues scale
Something Page was always quite comfortable doing,
play around in this scale(VIII pos.) and listen to the song and you'll
figure them out. I just cant remember them all off the top of my head.
First lead: Second lead:
e-|--------------------------------------|---------------------------|
b-|--------------------------------------|---------------------------|
g-|-------8b10---8--10--10b12rb10-8------|---10b12rb10-8--10--8------|
d-|-8--8-----------------------------10--|-----------------------10--|
a-|--------------------------------------|---------------------------|
E-|--------------------------------------|---------------------------|
Third lead: Fourth lead:

E-|------------|----13vvv-------------|
B-|---12b13vv--|---(16)------13vvv----|
G-|------------|---(17)---------------|
D-|------------|----|-----------------|
A-|------------|----|-----------------|
E-|------------|----|-----------------|
|
rake across strings
At this point, I have to agree with Chuck--there are a hell of a lot
of little leads and things thrown in from here, but they are all based
pretty much on the C blues scale, which (for people just starting out)
is shown below. This is also the scale that most of the solo can be
improvised over:
C Blues Scale:(starting partway up the neck at the 5th fret)

5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
E-|---|-X-|---|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|-X-|-X-|---|---|-X-|

A-|---|-X-|---|-X-|-X-|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|---|---|-X-|
E-|---|-X-|---|-X-|---|---|-X-|---|-X-|-X-|-X-|---|---|-X-|
by incorporating different bends, runs, trills, etc. This
is a very powerful scale. Just improvise your ass off.
The chorus: Dist guitar

e-|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
b-|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
g-|------------------------------------------------7------------2-----|
d-|-5--5-------5--5--------5------5---5--7--8----8---8----3---3---3---|
a-|-5--5-------5--5-------------------5--7--8--8-------8--3-3-------3-|
E-|-3--3-------3--3---3--3---3--3-----3--5--6-------------1-----------|
This figure appears at the end of the chorus:

e-|---------------------------------|
b-|---------------------------------|
g-|-5--5/7--7/8--12\----------\6----|
d-|-5--5/7--7/8--12\slow-slide\6----|
a-|-3--3/5--5/6--10\----------\4----|
E-|---------------------------------|
I don't have the entire solo (he plays alot of it so goddamn fast,
but heres the basic framework, and the rest should be left up
to improv, or interpretation.
/hell of a bend, but it is the only
Solo: / way I can get it to sound right.
e-|------------------------|-----------------------------|
b-|------------------------|-----------------------------|
g-|-8b10vvv--rb8-p5-----8bbbb12---8--10------------------|
d-|------------------------------------------------------|
a-|------------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------------|
Just start a fast run down the 10th
Postition and end it with this sort
of lick:
e-|-----------------------------------------------------10------|
b-|--------------------------------------------------10-----13--|
g-|------------------------------12--10----10--12^14------------|
d-|-----------------10----10--12--------12----------------------|

a-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
e-|---------------|
b-|-18b20--16-13--|
g-|---------------|
d-|---------------|
a-|---------------|
E-|---------------|
Now start playing around there pretty fast,
and when you hit the third measure of the
rythm part with all the synths, slow it down
to something like this.
e-|----------------------------------13b15----------|
b-|-(15)b16rb15-13---(15)b16rb15-13---------13-13---|
g-|-------------------------------------------------|
d-|-------------------------------------------------|
a-|-------------------------------------------------|
E-|-------------------------------------------------|
When you get to the chorus part do something like Page's climax from
Since Ive Been Loving You, like this:
e-|------------------------------10--13--13^15--13^15-------------11---|
b-|-11p8----11p8-----8--------11-----------------------9-11-11^13------|
g-|------10------10-------/12------------------------------------------|
d-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
a-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
e-|---------11------13^15--13^15--13-13^15--11------------------------|
b-|--11^13------11------------------------------13--------------------|
g-|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
d-|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
a-|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
And then play around in
this pos. for a bit.

Easy Does It
------------
By Coverdale-Page from the album of the same name
The main riff is a great example of playing a lydian scale using

octave/drone techniques. Very typical Page to do something which
is easy to play and yet sounds exotic (and usually hard to figure out...)
Those familiar with Zep material know that Jimmy favors strange tunings
to achieve these effects. However this seems to be in standard tuning:
(Esus#4)
E |-0---0---0---0---0--0--0---0---0----------||
H |-0---0---0---0---0--0--0---0---0---------o||
G |-3---4---6---4---3--4--3---4---6---------o||
D |------------------------------------------||
A |-1---2---4---2---1--2--1---2---4----------||
E |-0---0---0---0---0--0--0---0---0----------||
During the verse there's some Am7 and Am6 shifts,

but I don't really know the exact phrasing. Use
these voicings:
Am7: lowE: x02213 :highE

Am6: lowE: x02212 :highE
During the chorus use the main riff.
When the distorted guitar enters use this variant of the main riff:
(Esus#4)
E |---------------------------------------------------------||
H |--------------------------------------------------------o||
G |--------------------------------------------------------o||
D |-------------------------------------------------9--9-9--||
A |-------------------------------------------------7--7-7--||
E |-6-0-0-7-0-0-9-0-0-7-0-0-6-0-7-0-6-0-0-7-0-0-9---0--0-0--||
p p p p p p p p > > >
There's more but that's all I've figured out. This should be
a good start. Have fun!!!

Yet another of the great songs from the Coverdale/Page album.

Again, I can only take credit for a few corrections and additions,
Chuck Horowitz gets the rest (Chuck, I'm indebted to you for
life). I absolutely love this one -- but remember to retune
your guitar...
Coverdale/Page - Over Now
Lots of distortion. Again, its near impossible to duplicate

Page's sounds and various tricks but this one its pretty good.

And return to the main riff.
One note, after the fourth verse and through the end of the song,
that really weird effect is a whammy pedal, an octavia, and a vintage wah
running in series.

Wow, I didn't think anybody else bought this album! I personally think it is
a pretty decent album. Here is some tab that I figured out for SHAKE MY TREE.
It's probably all wrong, but it sounds pretty close.
This is the opening riff.

For the other parts, i just use the almighty power cords. Like I said, this
most likely isn't accurate, but it sounds close, and it's a start.

Well, someone requested this song the other day, so I

figured I'd sit down and learn the damn thing. (BTW,
thanks for the origional chord progression.)
As for how many times to play each part, listen to the

recording. This is taking far to long as is, and I don't
have the time to tab out every measure. Just listen for
phrases that sound familiar and string them together.

After the last B-|---2-------------|

play this: A-|-----------------|

Then go on to one of the signature phrases of the song:
E-|------------------|-0-----------|------------------|-0-----------|
B-|--9---------2-----|---2-----2-0-|--9---------2-----|---2-----0---|
G-|--9---------2-----|-----2-------|--9---------2-----|-----2-------|

A-|--6-6-4----6-6-7----2-4-6-------------------------|
E-|--4-4------4-4-5----0-2-4-------------------------|
At other places, instead of ending with the
picked notes, this phrase can also end with a
descending series of power chords: A5, F#5, E5.
Pretty much the rest of the song just mixes those phrases
in different ways, and since it would take me a year to
say specifically where everything goes, I'll let you figure
that out.
The really short chords in the middle of the song

that get muted really fast after being struck I think
have the following formations:
E B A
====== ====== ====== Right offhand I don't
xx999x xx987x xx765x remember the order, though.
As for the solo near the end, I fear that I might be terribly
butchering Page's beautiful solo, but here is a rough estimate
of it:
Solo:
E-|----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|-------------------------------7s9----9s7--------------9p7------|

G-|-9---------------9-----------------------------------|
D-|-------------------9---------------------------------|
A-|-----------------------------------------------------|
E-|-----------------------------------------------------|
I hope that didn't suck too bad. Remember, as always, repeat

the phrases as necessary.
Good Luck! And (as always) questions, comments, corrections, and

additions are very welcome.

PS - The next song from this album I want to tab in is

'Take me for a little while'. If anyone knows any
of it, anything at all, beyond the intro, please
email me. This is harder than hell as is...

Well, I said I'd post it and it turned out to be

easier than I thought. As with all of the
Coverdale/Page songs I've posted, repeat the phrases
as necessary. There is lots of room to experiment
with the leads in this song if you have more than
one guitar playing. Stuff just started falling together
while I was listening to it last night. Enjoy...

The following phrase also reappears a lot, usually with

leads played over it. The rhythm shown here may not be
exactly right, but it sounds okay (esp. with the leads)
E-|--0---0-0---1---1-1-1-1-1-1--|--3---3-3---3---3-3-3-3-3-3---|

E-|--0---0-0---1---1-1-1-1-1-1--|--3---3-3---3---3-3-3-3-3-3---|
Incorporate the following licks in as necessary,

these two will be used a lot in this song:
E-|-----------12--15s17vvvvvvvv---|
B-|--------13---------------------|
G-|--12b14------------------------|

G-|-------------------------------------------12vvv---|
D-|---------------------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------|
Later, over the top of one of the picking patterns during

a verse you get the following lead:
E-|-------------------------------|
B-|-----------12vv--10vv----------| This same lead appears
G-|--------13-------------9vv-----| at other times, sometimes
D-|-----14------------------------| leaving out the last two
A-|--14---------------------------| notes, others leaving out
E-|-------------------------------| the last one.
Just before the solo in the middle of the song, the progression
changes from the Am F G to Am G F . It's a small change,
but very noticable. It changes back to the Am F G right at the
end of the solo.
Solo:
I'll start the solo from where the common lead lick starts to
change. For a few seconds, two guitars will be playing. This
probably isn't exactly right either, so if anyone wants to
post corrections....
Am G F (etc.)

Hope you like it...

BTW - if anyone knows anything of any of the songs on

the album that I haven't posted yet, send what you know
to me, even if it is just the chord progressions. I'd
like to eventually see the entire album posted.

WAITING ON YOU
In an interview, Page said he used the Digitech Whammy Pedal on this
quite a bit so he wouldnt be restricted to a slide tuning,
so this is all an approximation of what it is.

There hasn't been a request for anything from the

Coverdale/Page album in quite a while, but I think
there are some really good songs on it. So I guess
I'll start things off by posting what I know of
"Whisper a Prayer for the Dying."
If anyone knows anything of the other songs on the

album, please post them! If not, I'll try to get
a few more of them tabbed later.

The entire song is pretty much structured around these four

figures. I don't remember exactly how everything goes together,
It seems to me that Fig. 1 is repeated about a million times
at the beginning, followed by Fig. 2.
My advice--listen to the song to find out where each of these

fits in, because I don't remember.
Questions, comments, additions, and corrections are always welcome.

I only want to say
That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
Cause he's my true love, my only one don't you see?
And on that fateful day

Perhaps in the new sun of May
My baby walks back into my arms
I'll keep him beside me forever from harm
You see I was afraid

To let my baby astray
I kept him too tightly by my side
And then one sad day, he went away and he died

Blue Moon you saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
I only want to say

That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
Cause he's my true love, my only one don't you see?
Plus other guitar solos that I haven't taken the time to figure
out, and that even if I had, I probably wouldn't take the time
to tab because, geez, that's a lot tougher to do than I thought!
Know of any other way besides a brute force method with a text
editor?

COWBOY JUNKIES' LAMENT

(written by Townes ? [can't remember last name])
(from Black-Eyed Man, by the Cowboy Junkies)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Intro: E* (x2)
Verse:
E A
Baby's in the back lot breathin' real heavy
B A E
Said the boys in the alley wouldn't leave her alone
E A
Mama did her makeup in a terrible hurry
B A E
She finally got ready but the boys were gone
A B
Mama don't you worry, night's approachin'
A B E
There's a hole in heaven where some sin slips through
E A
Just close your eyes, and dream real steady
B A E
Maybe just a little will spill on you
Chorus:
E A B
Dark don't lie
E*
Dreams come true
A E
All it takes is one or two
Verse: "Old lady rose, lookin' down her nose..."

Chorus: "Won't be long, I won't be gone..."
Verse: "Those in the know, say so it goes..."
Chorus: "Snake eyes cry, boxcars sigh..."
Chorus: "Dark don't lie, dreams come true..."
(then repeat the A E sequence for: "Maybe just a few will see you through")
(and repeat it twice more without words for the Outtro)
Chords:
E 022100 A 002220 B 224442
Notes:
E* means that the E is decorated by futzing it with an Em (as you can

hear in the song). There is a lot of sliding in the song. Not
currently possessing a slide, or knowing how to tune the guitar to an
appropriately to slide to this song, I just make do by sometimes sliding
the A up to 004440. It sounds pretty good for the chorus.
Apologies in advance for lyrical errors. By the way, does anyone out
there know "Murder, Tonight, in the Trailer Park?"
Rob
P.S. This group has brought me closer to a lot of cool music. Thought
it high time I started to return the favor. Thanks!

I posted a batch of stuff from this album a while ago, the day of the
concert at the Riviera. My transcript has since grown from 5 complete
songs and 2 fragments to 7 complete songs and 3 fragments, so I figured
I'd send it out again. Annotations are in {braces}.

SOMETHING MORE BESIDES YOU by the Cowboy Junkies
{The verses are all G and C chords, though the fingerings are a bit out of
the ordinary and there are a lot of odd little runs. The chorus is easy
-- here it is.}
I [D] guess I believe that there's a point

to what we [C] do.
But I [Am] ask myself is there
something more be[G]sides you?
A COMMON DISASTER by the Cowboy Junkies
{This is arranged for a single guitar -- they play the first bit of the
riff on the bass, and have the guitar playing the synchopated chords. For
the lines I've marked [Bb], the guitar actually stays on Cm, with the
second and fourth notes of the main bass line reversed, so that there's a
Bb bass note under the chord, but that sounds a bit weird if you're
playing it solo.}
(e) |-----------------|-----3-----3---3-|
(B) |-----------------|-----4-----4---4-| Let the last chord ring.
(G) |-----------------|-----5-----5---5-| Play twice for intro.
(D) |-----------------|-----5-----5---5-|
(A) |-----------------|-3---3-----3---3-|
(E) |-----------3-6-3-|-----------------|
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
[Cm] A candle burning for everything I've ever wanted.

[Cm] A tattoo burned for everything I've ever wanted and lost.
[Bb] I had a long list of names that I kept in my back pocket,
[Cm] but I've cut it down to one and your name's at the top.
[F] Won't you [Eb] share a common dis[Cm]aster

[Eb] Share with [F] me a common dis[Bb]aster
[Dm] Oh [Eb] oh, common dis[Cm]aster
[Cm] I found myself a friend, but he's crooked as a stick in water.

[Cm] So now I'm writing fairy tales to catch the spirit of revenge.
[Bb] He's got a plan to steal my little sister,
[Cm] but I'm not too concerned 'cause I will get him in the end.
Chorus
Solo on First Half Of Verse, First Line of Chorus
[Cm] Going to find me someone to share a common disaster.

[Cm] Run away with me from a life so cramped and dull.
[Bb] Not worry too much about the happily-ever-after.
[Cm] Just keep the Caddy moving 'til we're well beyond that hill.
Chorus
LAY IT DOWN by the Cowboy Junkies
{Play around with your chord voicings on this. I've been getting a good
sound playing D as x077x5 and just sliding that form up and down, so C is
x055x3, etc. You can play the second string open on the E chord, but the
rest of the time it sounds better muted. Also worth a try is playing D
x/0/0/14/10/0. I've written the chorus as D's on the fifth and tenth
frets, but play around with that as well.}
[D] [C] [Bm] [D]

[D] [C] [Bm] [D] [F] [E] [D]
He [D] left his dead in the [C] cottonwood trees

the [Bm] ground grown too hard with the [D] years.
[D] Falling down was not what it [C] used to be
the [Bm] ground grown too hard with the [D] years. [F] [E] [D]
[D] [C] [Bm] [D]
He [D] told his children those [C] little white lies

the [Bm] truth would only para[D]lyze them. [F] [E] [D]
[D] He told himself those [C] little white lies
the [Bm] truth would only para[D]lyze him.
[Dv] Lay it [Dx] down,

[Dx] lay it [Dv] down.
[D] [C] [B] [A]
[D] [B] [A] [D]
He [D] sold most of what he [C] cherished,

the [Bm] rest he let them [D] steal. [F] [E] [D]
[D] Shot his dog out in the [C] open field
the [Bm] rest he let them [D] steal.
[D] [C] [Bm] [D] [F] [E] [D]
He [D] broke all of his [C] promises,

[Bm] under a sea green [D] sky.
[D] They never thought to [C] ask him why,
[Bm] under a sea green [D] sky.
Chorus
Solo over a drone in D
[D] Please bury me in the [C] cottonwood trees

the [Bm] ground grown too [D] cold for me.
[D] Going to sleep tonight in a [C] warm feather bed
the [Bm] ground grown too [D] cold for me.
Chorus
HOLD ON TO ME by the Cowboy Junkies
{If your pinky is feeling acrobatic, hit a G# bass note in between the E
and A. The lyric sheet has two repetitions of "Hold on to me" at the end,
but drag the ending out as long as you'd like. The coda keeps repeating
the [E] [A] [E] [A] pattern.}
[E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [A]
[E] If you [A] offered me a [E] shade of [A] blue

would I re[E]turn it [A] saying that [E] it was [A] too
dark or [G#m] light?
Or would I [B] see it for the [G#m] precious thing
that [F#m] it might one [G#m] day [A] be?
Hold on to [E] me. [A] [E] [A]
[E] If you [A] offered me a [E] point of [A] view

would I dis[E]miss it [A] saying that [E] it was [A] too
black and [G#m] white?
Or would I [B] see it as the [G#m] special thing
That [F#m] it would no [G#m] doubt [A] be?
I'll [B] hold on to this [A] gift we share

it is as [B] slippery as it is [C#m] rare.
I'll [B] hold on to that [A] feeling
of [G#m] waking and finding you [C#m] there.
[F#m] I'll hold on [G#m] to [A] you and you hold on to [E] me. [A] [E] [A]
[E] If I asked you for a [E] simple [A] thing

would you [E] do it [A] without [E] too much [A] thinking or [G#m] fuss?
Would you [B] see it for the [G#m] precious thing
that [F#m] it would sure[G#m]ly [A] be?
Hold on to me.
Hold on to me.
COME CALLING by the Cowboy Junkies
[C#m] [A] [B] [B]

[C#m] [B] [A] [A]
The [C#m] stillness here,

like what he [A] sometimes finds in[B]side her, [B]
[C#m] hits so hard it can [B] steal your breath for[A]ever. [A]
He [C#m] sometimes wonders
is the [A] sum of their lives to[B]gether [B]
[C#m] him on the floor and her [B] lost to a mind in [A] tatters. [A]
These days he's [F#] drinking for the pleasure of [A] falling
and he's [F#] falling for the pleasure of pre[A]tending
that she's [F#] sitting by the window [A] waiting
for him to come [C#m] calling. [A] [B] [B]
[C#m] [B] [A] [A]
If [C#m] I could fix me up a [A] week of twilight [B] hours [B]

we'd [C#m] sit on the point
and watch the [B] sun continually [A] flounder. [A]

JUST WANT TO SEE by the Cowboy Junkies
{This is fragment number two. Marking where the chord changes occur is a
bit of a pain, since there are two vocal tracks -- the [D] on "guilt" and
the following "just" mean that the vocals overlap, not that you should
play two bars of D. The chords for the chorus are real sketchy.}

LONELY SINKING FEELING by the Cowboy Junkies
{Fragment number three, though this time I've included all the lyrics.
These chords work, but are oversimplified -- there's a lot more going on
than this. I also haven't done the bridge yet.}
She says, "I'm getting that [C] lonely sinking [F] feeling,
you [G] know what I mean?" [G]
With his [G] hand on her back he's [F] thinking,
"Where does [C] that leave me?" [C]
[C] "Just when I think I've un[C]covered the secret
to [F] peace and tranquili[G]ty
that [G] lonely sinking [F] feeling creeps [C] up on me."
He says, "I'm seeing those [] doubt filled

questioning [] eyes
and I can't be[]lieve it's true."
With her [] head in her hands she [] sighs,
"It's [] me, not you."
[] "Just when I thought that I'd dis[]covered the joy
of [] loving one so com[]pletely
that [] lonely sinking [] feeling creeps [] up on me."
Here in this silent room we wait on ancient ritual.

Staring at our hearts
as if they were two caged animals.
If I am the first to unlock those rusty doors
will I be the first found bleeding on the floor?
She says, "I'm getting that lonely sinking feeling,

you know what I mean?"
With his hand on her back he's thinking,
"Where does that leave me?"
"Just when I think I've uncovered the secret
to peace and tranquility
that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me.
Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy
of loving one so completely
that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me.
that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me."
ANGEL MINE by the Cowboy Junkies
Introduction on Verse Twice
He [C] searched for those wings that he [Am] knew

that this angel should [Em] have at her back. [Em]
And al[F]though he can't find them
he [C] really don't mind
because he [G] knows they'll grow back. [G]
And he [C] reached for that halo that he [Am] knows

that she had when she [Em] first caught his eye. [Em]
Although his [F] hand came back empty
he's [C] really not worried
because he [G] knows it still shines. [G]
[F] I can't promise that I'll [G] grow those wings

or [C] keep this tarnished [G] halo [F] shined
but I'll [F] never betray your [G] trust
angel [C] mine. [C]
I [C] search all the time on the [Am] ground

for our shadows [Em] cast side by side. [Em]
[F] Just to remind me that I [C] haven't gone crazy
that you ex[G]ist and are mine. [G]
And I [C] know that your skin is as [Am] warm and as real
as that [Em] smile in your eyes. [Em]
But I [F] have to keep touching and [C] smelling
and tasting for [G] fear it's all lies. [G]
Chorus
Solo on Verse
[C] Last night I awoke from the [Am] deepest of sleeps

with your [Em] voice in my head. [Em]
And I could [F] tell by your breathing
that [C] you were still sleeping
I re[G]peated those words that you had said. [G]

Submitted by Steve Scowden (steve.scowden@sf.jwtworld.com)
Corrections/improvements welcome.
(I'm playing this song with a E- E6 -E7 riff through most of the verses. That is, an E, then an
E with my pinkie added on 2nd fret of 2nd string, then sliding my pinkie up to the 3rd fret. Of
course, there may be a better way.)
E- E6 -E7 riff
The hoods are up on Pine Street, rearends lifted, too
The great-grandsons of General Robert E. Lee
F#m
are makin' love with a little help from STP
A E- E6 -E7
Their women on the porches, comparin' alibis
(E- E6 -E7 riff)

Greasy eggs & bacon, bumper stickers aimed to start a fight
Folk in wrecks, confederate caps, if you want some shine well
F#m F#m7
you can always find some more
A E- E6 -E7
but what I remember most, is the color of Susie's door
C#m G# A E
And Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still
E B Am
Susie says she's missing me
F#m E- E6 -E7
so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
(E- E6 -E7 riff)

A river to the south, to wash away all sin
A college to the east of us, to learn where sin begins
F#m F#m7
A graveyard to the west of it all
A E- E6 -E7
The child may soon be lying in it
A E
Cause to the north there is a prison,
A E
which I've come to call my home
A E
but come Monday morning, no country song,
B A E
will sing me home again

Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still

Sunday morning, 8 a.m., sirens fill the air
Sounds like someone made the river
F#m F#m7
Sounds like someone being born again
A G#m F#m E- E6 -E7

But me, I'm just lyin' here in Susie's bed
A E
Baptists celebrating with praises to the lord
A E
Rednecks doin' it with gin
A E B A E
Me and Susie, we're just celebrating, the joys of sleepin' in,
F#m A E- E6 -E7
because tomorrow, I'll be home again.

Susie says she'll wait there,

cutting carrots by the window sill

The flies have quit their buzzing

Even Bear has stopped his barking

D
They all sense something brewing

E
Up the James and headed this way

D A Asus2: lick
Bobby sips his morning coffee

Says have you finished with the funnies
Looks like a storm is brewing honey
guess we'll have to stay in bed today
I've heard that into every life

D
A little of it must fall

A D
So she spends her evenings praying

E
For a little of that southern rain

D A Asus2
Marie was born in Macon Georgia

She met a west coast lawyer
He plucked that sweet magnolia
and carried her to the hills of West LA
She says I never thought I'd tire of a dollar

But this life has grown so hollow
Every nite there's lipstick on his collar
And every morning I wash it away
She heard that into every life......etc
<Now the tricky part...Btw i think i cocked up the first phrase

of this verse, but ......>
Cars alive on city streets, of sparkling black water

Gm F#m E A
like waves beneath my window never break just roll away

F#m Bm E
Tonite this rain will be my lullabye
D E F#m Bm
These cars, my dreams to carry me home to stay

D Bm E A Asus2
<Whew!>
The wipers beat a rhythm truck spray obscures my vision

But I'm closing in on my destination
Two more hours and I'll be at your door
And it will never cease to amaze me

How a little rain can drive folks crazy
When I'd trade all my clear skies glady
For your blue eyes crooked smile
and a steady downpour
I've heard that into every life

A little of it must fall
but you'll never catch me complaining
about too much of that southern rain
Asus lick: -------0-h-2--0-------b

Sweet Jane
Cowboy Junkies version
This song is very simple, it's only 3 notes.
Basically, it's D - A - G - A.
you play D-D, D-A-A-G, G-G, G-A-A-D over and over
you may want to slide all on the E string like this.
G
D
A
E 10 10 10\5 5\3 3 3 3/5 5 /10
where \ means slide down and /means slide up
I never bothered to figure out the bridge (heavenly white roses..) but
you can safely continue to play those three notes, of course in a
different rhythm, which you should be able to pick up by listening to the
song.

"To Live is to Fly"
Cowboy Junkies
from _Black Eyed Man_
Capo first fret

Chorus: G D G D D A G D (2x)
Verse: G D G A D A G D (1x)
G D
Won't say I love you babe
G D
Won't say I need you babe
D A
But I'm going to get you babe
G D
and I will not do you wrong
G D
Living's mostly wasting time
G D
and I waste my share of mine
D A
but it never feels too good
G D
so let's not take too long
G D G A
You're soft as glass and I'm a gentle man
D A
we got the sky to talk about
G D
and the world to lie upon
Days up and down they come

like rain on a conga drum
forget most, remember some
but don't turn none away.
Everything is not enough
nothing is too much to bear
where you been is good and gone
all you keep's the getting there.
To live is to fly low and high
so shake the dust off of your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes.
It's goodbye to all my friends

It's time to go again
Think of all the poetry
and the pickin' down the line.
I'll miss the system here
the bottom's low and the treble's clear
but it don't pay to think too much
on the things you leave behind.
I may be gone but I won't be long
I'll be bringing back the melody
and the rhythm that I find.
We all got holes to fill

and them holes are all that's real
some fall on you like a storm
sometimes you dig your own
But choice is yours to make
time is yours to take
some dive into the sea
some toil upon the stone.
To live is to fly low and high
so shake the dust off of your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes.

I'm not totally satisfied with this one, so any help or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
@SONG: "To Love Is To Bury"
(In 3/4 time)
G Am
I buried him down by the river
C C Em Am G
Cause that's where he liked to be
G Am
And every night when the moon is high
C C Em Am G
I go there and weep openly
D Am
He and I were married
C Em G
By this river 'neath this willow tree
D Am
And with God and friends witnessing it
C Am G
He pledged his life to me
To me he was Earth
And I rooted in his soil
I to he was Sky vast and free
Of the burdens from which he toiled
Then one night a terrible fight

Words spoken better left unsaid
With his wedding vows ringing in my ears
He gave his life to me
They say to love is to bury

Those demons from which we all hide
But tonight by this river 'neath this willow tree
Becoming one of Earth and Sky
Da da da, da da da, da da da, etc...
Notes:
On that C/Em/Am/G thing that's all in one measure ("where he
liked to be"), I think it might just be a pair of C chords,
and I'm just hearing a walkdown from C down to G in the bass,
in other words:
C Em? Am? G
A ---3----2----0---------
E -------------------3---
On some of the Am's, I like to pick up my finger off of the

D string and put it right back down, again, something that I
don't think Michael's actually playing, but something that I
think sounds sort of cool in there. I picked up this trick
from REM's "Swan Swan H." (in 3/4 time -- maybe that's why I
think it sounds good).

"How do you tell someone" by Cowboy Mouth

Written and sung by Fred LeBlanc
>From the MCA album "Are you with me?"
Previously released on the Monkey Hill/Ichiban "It Means Escape"
- - -
This song is really very simple, and only uses G, C, D, and Em. However,
they use a cheating C (C9?) and put the 3rd finger on the 2nd string, not
the first, for the G.
G = 320030 C=032030 D=000232 Em=022000
This way, (Except for Em), the 3rd finger stays planted the whole song.
G D C G
Tina says "don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
G D C D
we've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
G D C G
talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become"
G C D G
There's a little girl who's crying over here.
Note that lines 2 and 4 are different from 1 & 3, which are the same.
Each verse is the same.
Chorus:
Em C D
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
(repeat this pattern 3 times)
G C D
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
G C D
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
G C D C
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Bridge:
Em D C
Fighting makes me tired

your first finger on the D string, 2nd fret. After the first
two E notes and the note on the D string, move it to the A
string, where it remains, until you hit the A chords. After the
A chords, place your first three fingers on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
frets of the D string, and pull off one after each note...)

5. "Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin;

Get six pretty maidens

Put roses to deaden

6. "Go bring me a cup, a cup of cold water

To cool my parched lips,"
the young cowboy said.
Before I returned, the spirit had left him
And gone to its Maker--
the cowboy was dead.
7. We beat the drum slowly

and played the fife lowly,
And bitterly wept as we bore him along.
For we all loved our comrade,
so brave, young, and handsome,
We all loved our comrade
although he'd done wrong.
That say's it all don't it?

BILLY THE KID
Bill the Kid, who was born Henry McCarty, is probably the most famous
of all western gunfighters. He did not acually kill the 21 men this
song credits him with however. In the 16 documented gun-fights, he is
credited with the death of only four, and assisted through the course
of robberies, probably the death of another five.
D Em7 A7
I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid; I'll
D Em7 A7
sing of the desperate deeds that he did. Way
D D7 G G#dim D
out in New Mexico long, long ago, When a man's only chance
A7 D
was his own forty-four.
Verse 2:
When Billy the Kid was a very young lad,
In old Silver City he went to the bad.
Way out in the West with his gun in his hand,
At the age of twelve years, he killed his forst man.
Verse 3:
Fair Mexican maidens play guitars and sing,
A song about Billy, their boy bandit king.
How ere his young man-hood had reached its sad end,
He'd a notch on his pistol for twenty-one men.
Verse 4:
'Twas on the same night, when poor Billy died,
He said to his friends, "I am not satisfied;
There are twenty-one men I have put bullets through,
And Sheriff Pat Garrett will make twenty-two."
Verse 5:
Now this is how Billy the Kid net his fate:
The bright moon was shining, the hour was late,
Shot down by Pat Garrett, who once was his friend.
The young outlaw's life had come to an end.
Verse 6:
There's many a man with a face fine and fair,
Who starts out in life with a chance to be square.
But just like poor Billy, he wanders astray,
And loses his life in the very same way.

BLOOD ON THE SADDLE
I wear a brace on one knee nearly all the time due to a Roan and
riggin' troubles I had at a jack-pot ride several years ago. Although
the cowboy depicted in this song meets his end in a much worse way,
my rodeo "career" also ended on a snatcher that would not be riden.
Verse 1:
A A7 D A
There's blood on the saddle and blood on the ground, And a
B7 E7
great big puddle of blood all around. A
A A7 D A
cowboy lay in it all covered with gore, And he
E7 A
never will ride any broncos no more.
A A7 D A
Oh, pity the cowboy, all gory and red, A
B7 E7
bronco fell on him and bashed in his head. There was
A A7 D A
blood on the saddle and blood on the ground, And a
E7 A
great big puddle of blood all around.

Bury Me Not on the Lone Prarie

public domain
notated by Greg Vaughn: ribtm@ttacs.ttu.edu
G G6 Em Em7 Em/G G
"Oh bury me not on the lone prarie"
G G6 Em Em7 Em Em4 G
These words came low and mourn - ful - ly
G G(5) G GM7
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
G Em Em7 G
On his dying bed at the close of day.
Note: The altered chords are my own addition. I tried to flesh out the
melody line with them. You can play a simpler version with only G and Em.
Here's how I play the chords. Each line is a separate fret and the numbers
are suggested fingerings. Colons mean not to play a string.

Additional verses:
2. He has wasted and pined 'til o'er his brow
Death's shades were slowly gathering now.
He thought of home and loved ones nigh,
And the cowboys gathered to see him die.
3. "Oh bury me not on the lone prarie,

Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free.
In a narrow grave just six by three
Oh bury me not on the lone prarie."
4. "It matteres not, I've oft been told,

Where the body lies when the heart grows cold.
Yet grant, oh grant, this wish to me,
5. "I've always wished to be laid when I died

In a little churchyard on a green hillside.
By my father's grave there let me be,
6. "I wish to lie where a mother's prayer

And a sister's tear will mingle there.
Where friends can come and weep o'er me.
7. "For there's another whose tears will shed

For the one who lies in a prarie bed.
It breaks my heart to think of her now,
She has curled these locks; she has kissed this brow."
8. "Oh bury me not..." And his voice failed there

But they took no heed to his dying prayer.
In a narrow grave, just six by three,
They buried him there on the lone prarie.
9. And the cowboys now as they roam the plain

For they marked the spot where his bones were lain,
Fling a handful of roses o'er his grave
With a prayer to God, his soul to save.

Here's a western song that no western tunesmith's, like the COWPIE gang
should be without. "The old Chisholm Trail" is believed to have had
at least 143 verses sung at one time or another. Micheal Martin
Murphey's "Cowboy Songs" includes a few more, but I only know 11.
So grab yer slicker and cinch yer saddle and let's go---!
"The old Chisholm Trail"
Lope the song along-
F
1.Well, come along, boys, and listen to my tale;
2.With a ten-dollar horse and a forty-dollar saddle, I
tell you of my troubles on the old Chisholm Trail. Come a (chorus)

started in herding these Texas cattle. Come a (chorus)
CHORUS-
Bb6 Bb6/C F
ti yi yippy, yippy yay, yippy yay, Come a
Bb6 Bb6/C F Bb F
ti yi yippy, yippy yay.
3. I'm up in the morning before daylight;

Before I sleep the moon shines bright.
4. Oh, it's bacon and beans most every day;

We'll soon be eating this prairie hay.
5. With my seat in the saddle

and my hand on the horn,
I'm the best cowpuncher
that ever was born.
6. No chaps, no slicker,
and it's pourin' down rain;
I swear I'll never night-herd again.
7. A stray in the herd

and the boss said, "Kill it!"
So I shot it in the rump
with the handle of a skillet.
8. I went to the boss to draw my roll,

And he had me figured out
nine dollars in the hole.
9. Me and my boss we had a little spat,

So I hit him in the face
with my ten-gallon hat.
10. I'm going to sell my horse,

going to sell my saddle,
'Cause I'm tired of punching
these Longhorn cattle.
11. With my knees in the saddle

and seat in the sky,
I'll quit punchin' cows
in the sweet by-and-by.

Ghost Riders in the Sky
First off, if you want just a simple version, ignore all the chords
in parentheses, and simply play the Em, G and C where indicated. Strum in
a rythm that sounds like a galloping horse; you know, like the first few
opening bars to the theme from Bonanza (tum tada dum tada dum tada dum).
On the other hand, you can make this simple song more interesting
with a few easy tricks. The first is to play the bass line along with the
Em chord. The bass line is easy, and goes...
E|----------------------------------
B|----------------------------------
G|----------------------------------
D|----------------------------------
A|-----1-2------1-2-------1-2-------
E|--0-------0---------0---------0---
...where the open sixth string (E) is a quarter note, the two notes on the
fifth string (Bb abd B, repectively) are eighth notes. If you play the Em
chord as...
EADGBe
||1|||
|23|||
||||||
...(Yes, that's right; two fingers on the fifth string), you can play the
bass line while you strum the Em chord just by picking up and putting
down your 3rd finger.
The changes to (C/E) and (A/E) are attempts to cover the sound
originally filled in by a couple of background singers singing "ah" on the
notes B, C, C#, C. This works on acoustic guitar if you continue to strum
the low E (open sixth string) rather prominantly while playing the
following positions.
C/E (regular old C position, A/E or A7/E

EADGBe but with the low E played EADGBe EADGBe (i.e., use your third
||||1| with a vengeance!) |||||| |||||| finger to mute the
||2||| ||111| ||||1| 4th string. I prefer
|3|||| |||||| |||||| this because the
|3|||| |3x||| changes are smoother)
Good luck. Send email or post if you have any questions.

They've got to ride forevermore on the range up in the sky,
On horses snorting fire and as they ride, I hear them cry.

This is probably the most notable of all cowboy songs. In a capsule, it
portrays the history of cattle raising, the business that created the
cowboy. The first verse details it all. Note that we "ride" along. We
don't gallop, don't cantor, don't trot--we wear our hat, you'll never see
us without our hat. The only extravagance portrayed here is what is known
as "jinglebobs" on his spurs. Jinglebobs, that is the real name, no-kiddin',
are those things that make Clint Eastwood go "ching-ching-ching" as he
walks down the dusty street and wastes the bad-guys in those great
"spaghetti" westerns. Some guys will tell you that the "music" of the
jinglebobs tended to keep the cattle calm on the drives. Sounds as good as
anything I guess.
"Git along, little dogies"
Capo the 3rd fret--
1: D G D E7 A7
As I was walking one morning for pleasure, I spied a cow-puncher aridin' along.
D G D
His hat was throwed back and his spurs were ajinglin', and as he approached
A7 D
he was singin' this song: CHROUS
2: D G D
It's early in spring that we round up the dogies, We mark them and brand
E7 A7 D G
them and bob off their tales. We round up our horses, load up the
D A7 D
chuck wagon, and then throw the dogies out onto the trail. CHORUS
3:
It's whooping and yelling
and drivin' the dogies
And oh how I wish
you wuld only go on!
It's whooping and punching,
go on, little dogies,
You know that Wyoming
will be your new home.
CHORUS
4:
Some boys, they go up on
the trail just for pleasure,
But that's where they get it
most awfully wrong.
You haven't a notion
the trouble they give us,
It takes all our time
to keep moving along.
CHORUS
5:
Your mother was raised
way down in Texas,
Where the jimson weed
and the sandburs grow.
We'll fill you up
on prickly pear and cholla,
Then throw you on
the trail to Idaho.
CHORUS
CHORUS---
D G D G D
Whoop-ee ti-yi-yo, git along little dogies, It's
E7 A
your misfortune and none of my own.
D G D G D
Whoop-ee ti-yi-yo, git along little dogies,
E7 A7 D
You know that Wyoming will be your new home.

From: pwilson@watserv1.waterloo.edu (Pete Wilson)
Red River Valley (traditional)
this arrangement by Peter Wilson (closely based on the Reader's

digest Family Song Book, inspired by the Kentucky Headhunters)
This is your basic major chord progression in Gmajor

but I use some more advanced inversions to follow the melody
which I show below. The numbers in parenthesis are my own notation
and indicate the inversion in use. I came up with this by a
process of playing around, and I'm not God, so feel free to
experiment with this. The song uses a lot of parallel sixths
which I play using a regular pick and a finger pick on my
long finger which is a standard country technique. Finger them
like this. (Numbers are for fingers, not frets here)
--1---|-------|-------|---2---|-------
------|-------|-------|-------|-------
------|---2---|-------|---2---|-------
-
-
-
Sliding sixths are a lick which sounds very much like a steel
guitar. There is a particularly choice one on the last line.
Notice it is the bottom (bass) note which is slid. This tab comes
with no warranty and I accept no liability for consequential
damages. This song is a great confidence builder for beginners as
it isn't too hard to play, but makes you sound like a country pro.
Oh yeah, the passages I have marked stacatto, use a real common
lead guitar lick. After sounding the notes release the strings
quickly. You want to make the guitar chirp.

Ridin' Down the Canyon
by Gene Autry & Smiley Burnett
G B7 C G
When evening chores are over at our ranch house on the plain
A7 D D7
And all I've got to do is lay around
G B7 C G
I saddle up my pony and ride off down the trail
A A7 D D7 G
To watch the desert sun go down
G B7 C G
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
A A7 D D7 G
A picture that no artist e'er could paint
G7 B7 G
White faced cattle lowin' on the mountian side
A A7 D D7
Hear a coyote whinin' for it's mate
G7 C D G
Cactus plants are bloomin', sagebrush every where
A A7 D D7
Granite spires are standin' all around
G B7
I tell you folks it's heaven
C G
To be ridin' down the trail
A A7 D D7 G
When the desert sun goes down

"The Texas Rangers" is a song that salutes the courage of men, who before
their role was one of law enforcement and investigation, was to protect
settlers against Mexican marauders and Indian attacks. This song
relives one of those encounters.
"The Texas Rangers"
C F Ab Bb C
1: Come all you Texas Rangers, wherever you may be,
F C Bb C
I'll tell you of some trouble that happened unto me.
Bb F
My name is nothing extra, so that I will not tell,
Bb C F Ab Bb C
But here's to all good rangers, I'm sure I wish you well.
2: When at the age of sixteen I joined this jolly band,
We marched from San Antonio down to the Rio Grande.
Our captain he informed us, perhaps he thought it right,
"Before we reach the station, we'll surely have to fight!"
3: I saw the smoke ascending, it seemed to reach the sky.
The first thought then came to me, "My time has come to die!"
And when the bugles sounded, our captain gave command,
"To arms, to arms," he shouted, "and by your horses stand."
4: I saw the Indians coming, I heard their awful yell.
My feelings at the moment, no human tongue an tell.
I saw their glittering lances, their arrows around me flew,
Till all my strength had left me, and all my courage too.
5: We fought for five full hours before the strife was o'er.
The likes of dead and wounded, I've never seen before.
And when the sun had risen, the Indians they had fled.
We loaded up our rifles and counted up our dead.
6: Now all of us were wounded, our noble captain slain.
And when the sun was shining across the bloody plain,
Six of the noblest rangers that ever roamed the West,
Were buried by their comrades with arrows in the breasts.
7: Perhaps you have a mother, likewise a sister too.
Perhaps you have a sweetheart, to weep and mourn for you.
If this be your position, although you'd like to roam,
I'll tell you from experience, you'd better stay at home.

The Yellow Rose of Texas is not a flower, we all knew that didn't we, but
a person. History records her as being a servant named Emily D. West, who
was indentured to a man named Colonel James Morgan, who fought in the war
for the independence of Texas from Mexico.
"The Yellow Rose of Texas"
1: G
There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm goin' for to see,
D7
No other soldier knows her, nobody only me.
G
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
D7 G D7 G
And if I ever find her, we never-more will part. CHORUS
2: G
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and starry skies are bright,
D7
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night.
G
She thinks if I remember we parted long ago;
D7 G D7 G
I promised to come back again and never let her go. CHORUS
3: G
Oh, now I'm goin' to find her, my heart is full of woe;
D7
We'll sing the song together we sang so long ago.
G
We'll play the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore,
D7 G D7 G
And the yellow rose of Texas will be mine for-ever-more. CHORUS
CHORUS---
G
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
D7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
G
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
D7 G D7 G
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.

Please email all improvements!
Em G C

Wind of fate was pride of [???] (rhymes with "lose." Anyone?)
Em G C
Light of mercy hurts my eyes
Em G C
Is it worth things you lose
Em G C
board the train and watch the sky
G C (not sure about this line)
I sing myself to sleep at night
G Am " "
I sing myself to sleep
Em G C Em
Another song about the rain
G C Em
coming down it burns through me
G C Em
another song about the rain
Got a line straight from my heart

another time went to you
another place when we were smart
for the flood in time was through
I sing myself to sleep at night
I sing myself to sleep

coming down it burns through me
another song about the rain
Sorry now, I never made you see

Sorry now, sounds so far away
Will our child cry for me
When he hears the dragon's flame
Highway flare makes red the street
Fingers spin the dime again
But every stations calling to me
Another song about the rain (another song about the rain)
Coming down it burns through me "
Never rained so viciously

verse: C C Bm Am G
F C G
C
And it's a long
Bm Am G
Long way to the top
F C
But when you come down
G
It's one headlong rush
You've got an itch

To scratch the shiny bits of light
Hanging like stars
Hanging like stars
And Mary says

You're such a restless soul
My bicycle Spaniard
My magiare of coal (?)
You've got an inch to find

What's best left lost and cold
My bicycle Spaniard
My poor restless soul
When playing the lead, play riff 1 and then a G chord

twice, then riff 2 with F C G chords.
Riff1
lead (simplified (there's a bit more sliding involved)):
G:-6-7-6-----0-9---------
D:--------8------8-9----- (tremolo)
Riff2
play that twice, then:

G:-6-7-6---0-9-0--------------------------------------
D--------8-------7---7-10-----------------------------
A:-----------------8------7---8-7---------------------

Big Dipper - from "The Golden Age"

tabbed by Steve Vetter [vettersj@mindspring.com] and
dm9530a@american.edu (David Marley)
the key to remmeber in this song is that you

have to maintain the guitar rhythm even though
the verse doesn't always match up. -sjv
intro/verse: Am C F G
The cigarettes
And carrot juice
Get yourself a new tattoo
For those sleeveless days of June
I'm sitting on the Cafe Zino's steps

With a book
I haven't started yet
Watching all the girls walk by
G F
Could I take you out?
F Dm
I'd be yours without a doubt
C G
On that big dipper
If the sound of this
It frightens you
We could play it real cool
And act somewhat indifferent
And hey June

Why's you have to come
Why'd you have to come around
So soon?
I wasn't ready
For all this nature
The terrible green green grass

And violent blooms
Of flowered dresses
And afternoons that make me sleepy
But we could wait awhile

'Fore we push that dull turnstile
Into the passage
Thousands they have tread
And others sometimes fled
Before the turn came
We could wait our lives
Before a chance arrives
Before the passage
Form the top you can see Monterey
Or think about San Jose
Though i know it's not that pleasant
And hey Jim

'A Karoak
Brother of the famous Jack
Or so he likes to say
Lucky bastard
He's sitting on the Cafe Zino's steps

With a girl I'm not over yet
Watching all the world go by
Boy you're looking bad

Did I make you feel that sad?
I'm honestly flattered
But if she asked me out
I'd be her without a doubt
On that big dipper
Cigarettes
And carrot juice
get yourself a new tattoo
For those sleeveless days of June
I'm sitting on the Cafe Zino steps
I haven't got the courage yet
I haven't got the courage yet...
Here's a rough sketch of the solo...

We went down

To the old part of town
F#m
By the stinking canal

The cotton mill
Under a ghetto palm

With her bicycle shorts on
With a gesture
She said to me
D E F#m C#m
I really must confess
D Bm
I'd to get undressed
E
With you
Though the thought

Had never really crossed my mind
Oh, but that was lie
So we went along
We went out
Under the turning leaves
Fetted earth
Was damp and cool
Autumn's feeble lights

On her salty neck
All innocence was lost
I really must confess

I'm feeling quite distressed
My stars are always crossed
And I have alway taken

More than I have given back
And as a matter of fact
I've given nothing up

Eurotrash Girl/Angel In Black - Cracker
(Secret song 69 on the Kerosene Hat CD)
Originally Tabbed by Steve Vetter [vetters@vax1.elon.edu]
Corrected bt Tim Dellinger [tdelling@ux4.cso.uiuc.edu]
Intro:
C G C G C F C G
C G
Well I've been up to Paris
G C
and I slept in a park
C G
went down to Barcelona
G C
someone broke in my car
(Refrain):
C F
And I've searched the world over
F C
for my angel in black
C G
yeah I've searched the world over
G C
for a Eurotrash girl
Took the train down to Athens

And I slept in a fountain
Some Swiss junkie in Turin
Ripped me off of my cash

The CRS [?] on the Metro (pronounced "say" "are" "ess")

Shook me down for a bribe (whatever the hell that is. )
On my knees for the seargent
when my passport arrives

C G
Eurotrash Girl!
G C
Eurotrash Girl!
C G
Eurotrash Girl!
G C
Eurotrash Girl!
Called my mom from the payphone
I said I'm down to my last
she said I sent you to college
No go call your dad
C F
And the waitress that he married,
F C
well she hung up the phone
C F
You know she never did like me
F C
but I can stand on my own
Sold my plasma in Amsterdam

spent it all in a night
buying drinks at the Melkweg
for a soldier in drag
And I'll search the world over

Eurotrash Girl!
Eurotrash Girl!
Eurotrash Girl!
Eurotrash Girl!
Yeah I've searched the world over

Got a tattoo in Berlin

and a case of the crabs
a rose and a dagger
on the palm of my hand
And I'll search the world over

Eurotrash Girl!
Eurotrash Girl!
Eurotrash Girl!
Eurotrash Girl!
Yeah I've searched the world over

Say whatcha see man, ya got these questions
C
Is it true that you have sold your soul
A
I said, "Hey, man I don't know,

But ????? (couldn't understand this line) I understand! The lyric is as follows:
Give me a quarter, won't you, I'll call my accountant." *from lar
C
chorus: Let's get off this
A
Get on with it
F
If you wanna change the world
C
Shut your mouth, start this minute
Funny little lie you told

Has come around the judgement stone
When all we're trying to do is make a fortune
Yeah we ain't got no government loans
And no one sends a check from home
But get this, we just do what we want
chorus x2
Well the guitar player's staying out

In Hollywood and saying
He's just trying to get some sleep
But everyone's complaining
Now you're truly deeply cynical
Cause boy you know I loved you so
When no one knew your name and you weren't pompous

You can place your faith in God, my friend

But no one knows His plan
Am C
You can place you faith in your brother
F Am
But he may fail you
So I'm waiting for that Sunday Train

Place my faith in the Southern Life
She may not be on time,
she will come
She once was (a) proud one

stretch from sea to shining sea
She may not take you everywhere you want to go
Where you need to, she'll agree
So rest your weary legs

They carried you all this way
And climb about that Sunday Train
When she comes
When God banished you from the garden

He gave us seed, He gave us steam
So trains that climb up every mountain
Could never happen to set me free
So if your heart is weary

And your soul's like mine
Climb aboard that Sunday Train
When she comes

Take me Down to the Infirmary - Cracker

By Taylor
I figured out "Infirmary" a few minutes ago, it's really very easy.
I don't have the CD here to check the transcription, but if memory
serves, it should be pretty close.
I think it starts:
(Tacet) C G
Take me down, to the infirmary,
Am7 Am F
Lay me down, on cotton sheets.
C G
With a damp cloth, on my forehead,
C F C
Lay me down, let me sleep...
Changover to chorus: C Am7 G

Chorus:
G Am7 Am
I know the wiskey, it won't soothe my soul,
F C
And the morphine won't heal my pain,
Am7 G Am F
But if you take me down to the infirmary, yea.
C F C
I won't have to sleep, or drink alone.
verse:
etc. etc.
{sorry, that's all the lyrics I can remember}
If that Am7 causes trouble for you drop it, it is just cosmetic, but you
have to play it right for it to work. In the verse, it is just one
beat. In the chorus, it gets a few beats, maybe 3.
Chorus changeover:
Just one beat per chord. C Am7 G (hold the G 2 beats, then your in the chorus).
I guess that gives you something, I'm not sure if it is entirely right
though. Have fun with it, and let me know if there are any problems.

>From: shruew@amiserv.xnet.com (Tom Chess)
>Subject: TAB: Cranberries' parts
Here are some fragments of a few songs from the Cranberries. I'm
interested on any parts anyone else has (same goes for Sunday's music).
Hopefully enough parts will turn into complete songs.
"Deaming My Dreams"
acoustic intro is: C G F C

then the picked through electric goes: C G(barre) Am(barre)
then end with picking through F Dm
"Linger"
I think this has been tabbed enough

intro picking through D 2 then 2 then back to normal D
3 3
2 0
Chords go D A C G
D is played 2 and 2 A is played 0 and 0 C: 0 and 0 and G 3 and 3
3 3 2 0 1 0 0 0
2 0 2 2 0 0 0 0
0 0 2 2 2 2 0 0
0 0 3 3 2 0
3
"Ridiculous Thoughts"
intro is A G E, that's all i have, sorry
"Daffodils Lament"
intro riff is
(note, capo up to G)
b-7-0-5-0-3-0-1-3-1-0
that's actually all hammer ons and pulloffs.
Then it goes into the awesome flange and i can no longer make out the chords.
Well, it's a start on a few songs, more later (i hope)

Dreaming my Dreams- The Cranberries

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the album:No Need to Argue
Sorry for the long delay, I haven't had time to post anything.
If anyone has any corrections please send them or post them.
This is what I came up with and I hope it's useful!
Verse:
C G Am F
All the things you said to me today
C G Am F
Changed my perspective in every way
C G Am F
These things count to mean so much to me
C G Am F
Into my faith you and your baby
Bridge:
C G
It's out there
Am F
It's out there
C G
It's out there
Am F
If you want me I'll be here
Repeat
Chorus:
C G Am F
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
C G Am F
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
C G Am F
And there's no other place that I'd lay down my faith
C G Am F
dreaming my dreams with you
Instrumental: Just play the chorus chords with an

arpeggio style using only 1 downstroke per chord. Then pluck
the three top strings in this order: 1,2,3,2. On the last chord
do not pluck.
Bridge
Chorus
The song ends on a C

C:x32010 G:320003- I use 320033
Am:002210 F:133211
I didn't have much time to check it, so I'm not to sure about the bridge
chords. But if you lsten to the album a couple of times you should be
able to get it.

There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too
So to hell with what you're thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
Your so distracted from the real things
You should leave your life behind

"I can't be with you", The Cranberries.

---------------------
From their 2nd album 'No need to argue'
Not sure if this has been done already, but as I was doing the
Cranberries at the moment, I thought someone would like this.
Try to get the Irish accent. It makes it so much nicer ;)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A E
Lying in my bed again,
F#m D
And I cry cause you're not here.
A E
Crying in my head again,
F#m D
And I know that it's not clear.
A
Put your hands, put your hands
E F#m D
Inside my face and see that it's just you.
A
But it's bad, and it's mad,
E
And it's making me sad
F#m D
Because I can't be with you
Chorus:
------
A E F#m D
Be with you, Be with you, Be with you, Be with you,
A E
Be with you, Be with you,
F#m D
Babe I can't be with you.
Thinking back on how things were

And how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother
of your child
And now it's just farewell
Put your hands inside my hands

And come with me,
We'll find another end
And my head, and my head
On anyone's shoulder
Cause I can't be with you.
(Chorus)
Cause you're not here, you're not here

Baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, you're not here
And back I'm still in love with you.
(ad. lib to end)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, this sounds good on an electric-acoustic, using a Passac or

DI and a bit of reverb - but don't go overboard!
The best way to get the 'muffled' acoustic sound is to cut your
fingernails and use no pick. Use your thumb and index finger on
the strings, quickly raking, and your palm to slightly deaden the
strings.. still, if you find a better way... ;)
Use >5th barres for the chords (A == E @ 5th, E == A @ 7th,

F#m == Am @ 7th, D == A @ 5th) when it starts getting going.
Open chords sound good at the start, but once the rest of the
band kicks in, the rapid raking of the barres sounds better.
Haven't worked out the electric in the background yet, tho.

Enjoy.

Cheers!

I Can't Be With You- The Cranberries

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the album:No Need to Argue
To all the people who asked for more Cranberries tabs, sorry for
the long wait; I've been pretty busy lately. Here is what I came up
with!
Intro: Bb Cm Gm Bb- picked in order of strings: 5,4,3,4
-this is just a guess because I don't have much time to check.
Verse: picked in similar fashion as intro
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Crying in my bed again and I cry 'cause you're not here
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Crying in my head again and I know that it's not clear
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Put your hands, put your hands inside my face and see that it's just you
Bb Cm
But it's bad and it's mad and it's making me sad
Gm Bb
because I can't be with you
Chorus: strummed
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you
Bb Cm Gm Bb
Be with you, be with you, baby I can't be with you
Verse 2: played as verse 1
Thinking about on how things were and on how we loved so well

I wanted to be the mother of your child and now it's just farewell
Put your hands in my hands and come with me, find another hand (?)
In my head, in my head, on anyone's shoulder, 'cause I can't be with you
Chorus: same as chorus above
Be with you, be with you, be with you, be with you

Be with you, be with you, baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, cause you're not here, baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, cause you're not here, baby still in love with you

Subject: The Cranberries: I Don't Need
Here are "my chords" for "I Don't Need" by The Cranberries (Zombie single).
Please suggest, comment and correct - both on lyrics and chords (preferrably by email).
I know the lyrics are VERY wrong here, but I have huge problems hearing the words.
Also, the music isn't entirely correct, but I hope someone can help me out.
I'm also interested in the chords/tabs for the other cut from the single; "Away".
THE CRANBERRIES: I Don't Need [Chords by Baard Edlund, baarde@powertech.no]
[G - D - Am - Em. Repeated over and over]
The world is consuming me and I don't feel so happy here today

I'm not and I don't feel and I used to be a baby in my head
So where is it what do you like does she hold you happy next to her
And your head hangs lightly and everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again, la-la-la etc.
Em Am
I Don't need to see it, no, no, no etc.
Em Am G
I Don't need to see it, no, no, no etc.
My head is hanging now and my eyes are brown, they're brown, they're brown
And everyone's so patronizing I don't see when the rifting comes around
So where is your mother now, and she holds you happy next to her
And your head hangs lightly and everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again, la-la-la etc.
I Don't need to see it....
And there'll be no more time today, no more time today, no, no

No more time today, no more time today.....

Thanks for all help!

I noticed this song is not in the archive. I am not sure the tab is
perfect, but it sound good when I play with it. If it's wrong, I hope
this post will provoke someone to put out something better.
Tab: just repeat Ami C D Em until the song is over or you feel like
a little solo.

I Will Always by Cranberries
I happened to stumble on the chords to this song when I was just messing
around with my guitar.
It's pretty simple: the chords are C, C7, and C(add9).
EADGBE
C -32010
C7 -32000
C(add9) -32030
They are played in a pattern of: C, C7, C(add9), C, C7... throughout

the song.
If these are wrong, please let me know at mpost93@calvin.edu, or even if

there's something new and exciting happening in the world of guitars let
me know also. Thanks for all of the help with chords.

if you
if you could return

A
don't let it burn don't let it fade
C
i'm sure i won't be rude
but it's just your attitude

G
it's tearing me apart it's ruining everyday.
I also like to alternate A and A6 between measures to add some

variety to it.
I swore, I swore I would be true

but honey so did you
so why were you holding her hand
is that the way we stand
were you lying all the time
was it just a game to you
But I miss you

you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger
do you have to
do you have to
Oh, I thought I loved you

I thought that nothing could go wrong
but I was wrong
I was wrong
If you, if you could get by

trying not to lie
things wouldn't be so confused
and I wouldn't feel so used
but you always ruin you
I just wanna be with you
and I miss you

do you have to
do you have to
and I miss you

do you have to
do you have to

do you have to
do you have to

===============================================================================
Note: The way I write the chords might be rather unusual, but I learned it
this way at the conservatory in Germany. This is how to read it:
* Capital letters are Major Chords,
* the other ones are Minor.
* The H chord is more common as B.
So e.g. f means Fm, C is still C, h is Bm and b would be Am# (although
I never use it :) ...)

Well Kids... This is actually how the song goes. I hear it this way
myself off the CD and have seen it played this way in clubs....It sound
better.
enjoy,
-Underdog
...
TWO Guitars:
1) capo 2nd fret. Actually it plays the same cords as the other
guitar but with the capo they are in the shape of the following:
C. + . + . + . + Am + . + . + . + Em + . + . + . + F. + . + G. + . +
e----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|--------
B1-----1---1-----|1-----1---1-----|0-----0---0-----|1-------|--------

D----2----2----2-|----2----2----2-|----3----3----3-|----3---|--------
A----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|--------
E----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|--------
If you're good you can play it with out the capo, just add 2 to every
thing. That way you can play the whole song with one guitar...
2) This guitar has no capo and simply plays D, Bm, F#m, G,and A:
D. , . , . , . , Bm , . , . , . , F#m, . , . , . , G. , . , A. , . ,
Understand the things I say don't turn away from me
D. , . , . , . , Bm , . , . , . , F#m, . , . , . , G. , . , A. , . ,
'Cause I spent half my life out there you wouldn't disagree
D. , . , . , . , Bm , . , . , . , F#m, . , . , . , G. , . , A. , . ,
do ya see me? do ya see,do you like me? do you like me standing
there
D. , . , . , . , Bm , . , . , . , F#m, . , . , . , G. , . , A. , . ,
do ya notice? do ya know,do you see me, do you see me?does anyone care?
The rest of the song does NOT change. It's just D, Bm, F#m, G, A. the
strumming goes like this (where "," is down, and "`" is up and "|" is a
chord change):
|,-,-,-,`-`,-,-,`|,-,-,-,`-`,-,-,`|,-,-,-,`-`,-,-,`|,-,-,--,|`-`,-,-,
Everyone seems to have their own version of the lyrics and thats OK. I
like to see how people use their own feelings to interpret how they
think the song should go. Remember Kids, she's Irish and has a tendency
to say things in her own way...
ERIN GO BRACH
enjoy,

Ode to My Family -The Cranberries

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ from the album: No Need to Argue
Hi everyone! Having taken so much stuff from the Nevada site, I

thought I'd take a bit of time to figure this one out.
Intro:
For the intro, play the chords in an arpeggio style.
D Bm F#m G
Verse:
When playing the chords, pick the strings in random order avoiding the bass
strings.
D Bm F#m G
Understand the things I say, don't turn away from me
D Bm F#m G
Cause I spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree.
D Bm D Bm F#m G
D'you see me, d'you see, do you like me, do you like me standing there.
D Bm D Bm F#m F#m G
D'you notice, d'you know, do you see me, do you see me, does anyone care.
Chorus:
D Bm F#m G
Unhappiness, where's when I was young, and we didn't give a damn.
D Bm F#m G
'Cause we were raised, to see life as fun and take it if we can.
D Bm F#m G
My mother, my mother she hold me, did she hold me, when I was out there.
D Bm F#m G
My father, my father, he liked me, oh he liked me, does anyone care.
Verse 2:
Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design.

And people everywhere think, something better than I am.
But I miss you, I miss 'cause I liked it, I liked it, when I was out there.
D'you know this, d'you know, you did not find me, you did not find,
does anyone care.
Repeat chorus
D: xx0232
Bm: 224432
F#m: 244322
G: 320033

Ode to My Family
by the Cranberries
From Kevin Joson <ae151@torfree.net>
I've seen the previous post to OLGA, and I guess it's okay, but here's
another spin on it. Being an average guitarist, it's a pretty cruddy
rendition, however, I'm happy with it. =)
Capo at the 2nd fret.
Just the basic cords:
C X32010
Am X02210
Em 022000
F 133211
It starts with a strum of the chords, in the order C-Am-Em-F, a little bit
after she starts with the Doo-doo-doo-doots. ^_^
Shortly after, you go to the picking, I find it sorta sounds like:
C Am Em
e-0------0-------0----0------0------0-------0----0------0-------0----
B---1------1---1---1----1------1------1---1---1----0------0---0---0--
G-----0------0------------2------2------2------------0------0--------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------

E--------------------------------------------------------------------

e-1------------------------------------------------------------------
B---1----------------------------------------------------------------
G-----2-0h2p0-0h2p0--------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
... and so on. You might find it works better some other way, but this way
sounds fine. Just follow along with the previous version of this song,
above.
Good Luck, and happy playing.

Hi!
This is my version of intro to the album version of "Ode to my family" by
the Cranberries. The previously posted versions of the intro haven´t been
working satisfactory for me, and when i watched the MTV-consert
"Unplugged", I saw that they played it differently. This is what i saw and
worked out:
intro to "Ode to my family" by the Cranberries, album version
capo on 2nd fret
the striking order to each of the strings can be found in a couple of the
other submitted tabs.

contain the lyrics, so I'm in the dark as to what they really are. If anyone
can help, I'd appreciate it.

You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies
Am Fmaj7 G
Cuz you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all
Am Fmaj7 G
No, and there's nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all
Am Fmaj7 G
Baby if you could see beyond your nose, your nose, your nose, who knows?
Am Fmaj7 G
Back then what could happen surely shows.
Am Famj7 G
Do you like the sound than your additude, I do, I do, I do

And you went on laughing and shouting, "It's all too soon."

ability to play it.

If you haven't heard the song you probably won't get it

out of this since I don't know what I'm doing, but maybe
it'll lead to something cool. What, I don't know.
Another little tidbit comes from the dreams CD single.

The song What You Were is all Am --> Em and back. Again,
not real tough stuff, but I'm just a beginner.
I hope this is some kind of help to someone.

W. B. Yeats "Second"
Why should I blame her,

there she filled my days
With misery or that she would of late
Have taught to ignor can't man violent ways
Or harled the little streets upon the grenout
Had they but courage
Equal to desire
Sad there Mand Gonne couldn't stay

But she had MacBride anyway
and you sit here with me
on the isle In istree
and your writing down everything

But I know by now
Why did you sit here
In the grave...
Why should I blAme her,

Had they but courage equal to desire

This is also a wonderful song from The Cranberries
How can she write so well?

Yeat's Grave - Akira Nakahara

------------
From the Cranberries 2nd album "No need to Argue".
This is just the basic outline, I apologize for all the numerous errors I'm
sure you'll find but I only have five strings and no picks lying around!
Intro: use barre chords for:Cm, Bb, and Gm for picking

for the formations of the chords check the end of the tab
Cm Bb Gm Gm Cm Bb Gm
E-----------------------------------------------------------------
B---4--------3---------3---------3---------4--------3--------3----
G---5--------3---------3---------3---------5--------3--------3----
D-5---5----3----3----5---5-----5----5----5---5----3---3----5----5-
A-----------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's the same chords throughout the song:Cm,Bb, and Gm.

I'm not sure but they might be using a variation of Gm(e.g.- Gm7)
if you want to check that out.
Cm:335543
Bb:113331
Gm:355333
I have some other tabs by the Cranberries If you're interested, but since
I haven't bought the first album I don't have any tabs from that album.
If you have any corrections please send them or
post them!
Enjoy!

The chord progression in the file reads Fm Db G# Gm
This makes no sense. I believe the prpoper progression to be: Em C G D/F#

From: Dean Povey <dean@psy.uq.oz.au>
Thought this may be of use to someone, I don't know how accurate it is but
it sounds ok to me.
The chords I use are:
Em 02200x
Cadd9 03200x
G6 3200xx
D/F# 2000xx <- This probably should be 20023x or something but I'm lazy
Occasionally in the heavier parts I substitute Cadd9 for C/G (330210) for a
bit of variety.
The intro is something like:
e---------------------|-------------------
B-------0--00-00-000--|-----0--00-00-000--
G-------0--00-00-000--|-----0--00-00-000--

E---3-3-3--33-33-333--|-2-2-2--22-22-222--
The timing here is probably a bit rough but you get the general idea.
Then you kick your overdrive in and play the top 4 bass strings on each chord.
I think there is 2 sets of this played ending with a long Em

and then the verse. I tend to simulate the bass by playing softly on the
strings and then the guitar bits much louder, if you listen to the CD this
seems to be close to what they are doing

The lead riff is

The verse varies a bit but is more or less based on the above.
I haven't worked out the solo yet but seems to use two guitars one playing
a riff based on the lead riff above (well at least it starts like that)
e---7h8--5h7-7-7-7- Repeat
Or something like that and then the other guitar comes over the top.
Well thats about it, I did work out the little bass riff but I forget how
it goes though it is based around E open, E third, A 5th, A 3rd and A open.
Here are the lyrics (not mine)

while considering. Here is the version as I figured it out from the CD
last night.

These are the basic chords for "Are You Gone?". I didn't
transcribe the exact picking pattern because it would be
too much of a pain to put on paper and wouldn't be worth it.
Play along with the cd and it will be easy to pick up the

This is the best Cranes song to play on guitar, and it's actually my favorite

I have no clue to what the lyrics are, so I improvised for the first and second
verse. If someone would like to add the corrrect lyrics to this transcription,
please feel free to do so. By the way, Nevada is in dire need of more Cranes

Here comes Dick, he's wearing a skirt

And they love each other so, androgynous
D C
Closer than you know, love each other so, androgynous
Well don't get him wrong, and don't get him mad
He might be a father but he sure ain't a dad
And she don't need the advice that is sent to her
She's happy with the way she looks, she's happy with her gender
Bridge:

Mirror image, see no damage, see no evil at all
C Em
Cupie dolls and urine stalls will be laughed at
D
The way you're laughed at now
Something meets boy and something meets girl

They both look the same, they're overjoyed in this world
Same hair a revolution
Unisex evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss?
And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants,

Tomorrow Jane is wearing a dress
Future outcasts and they don't last
And today people dress the way that they please
They way they tried to do in the last centuries

Subject: Funeral Song by Crash.Test.Dummies
[C]I'm still [F]young, but I [C]know my days are [G]numbered

[F]1234[C]567 and [Am]so on.
But a [C]time will [F]come when these [C]numbers have all [G]ended
and [F]all Ive ever [C]seen will be [Am]forgotten
Chorus:
[F]Won't you [C]come
[Am]Too my fun[C]eral when my [F]days are [C]done
[F]Lifes not [C]long
And [Am]so I hope when [C]I am finally [F]dead and [C]gone
That you'll ga[Am]ther [G]round,
As I [Am]am lowered [G]in to the [C]ground
When my [C]coffin is [F]sealed and I'm [C]safely six feet [G]under

Per[F]haps my friends will [C]see fit then to [Am]judge me.
[C]When they [F]pause to con[C]sider all my blun[G]ders
I [F]hope they won't be [C]too quick to beg[Am]rudge me.
Chorus
[F]if [C]I should [Am]die before I [G]wake up

[F]I [C]pray that the [Am]lord my soul will [G]take but
My [F]bo[C]dy, my [Am]bo[C]dy, that's your [Am]job
I [C]can't be [F]sure where I'm [C]headed after [G]death.

[F]to heaven, hell, or [C]beyond to the great [Am]vast.
But [C]if I [F]can I would [C]like to meet my mak[G]er.
[F]Theres one or two things [C]I'd sure like to [Am]ask.
Chorus
Me and Reid figured this out by ear so it could be in the wrong key
or some crap but it seems to work fine.
later,

Feet
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 After seven days
\par He was quite tired, so God said:
\par "Let there be a day
\par Just for picnics, with wine and bread"
\par He gathered up some people he had made
\par Created blankets and laid back in the shade
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 The people sipped their wine
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 And what with God there, they asked him questions
\par Like: do you have to eat
\par Or get your hair cut in heaven?
\par And if your eye got poked out in this life
\par Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 The people cleared their throats and stared right back at
him
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 So he said: "Once there was a boy
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Who woke up with blue hair
\par To him it was a joy
\par Until he ran out into the warm air -
\par He thought of how his friends would come to see;
\par And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?
him
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 The people sat waiting
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Out on their blankets in the garden
\par But God said nothing
\par So someone asked him, "I beg your pardon;
\par I'm not clear about what you just spoke -
\par Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?"

\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy?
\par There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
\par I've had my lungs checked out with X rays
\par I've smelled the hospital hallways
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Times when the day is like a play by Sartre
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 When it seems a bookburning's in perfect order -
\par I gave the doctor my description
\par I've tried to stick to my prescriptions
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Afternoons will be measured out,
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Measured out, measured with
\par Coffeespoons and T. S. Eliot
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 I could change the test results that I will get back
\par I've watched the summer evenings pass by
\par I've heard the rattle in my bronchi ...

\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Once there was this kid who
\par Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
\par But when he finally came back
\par His hair had turned from black into bright white
\par He said that it was from when
\par The cars had smashed so hard
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Once there was this girl who
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Wouldn't go and change with the other girls in the change
room
\par But when they finally made her
\par They saw birthmarks all over her body
\par She couldn't quite explain it
\par They'd always just been there
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 But both girl and boy were glad
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 'Cause one kid had it worse than that
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 'Cause then there was this boy whose
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Parents made him come directly home right after school
\par And when they went to their church
\par They shook and lurched all over the church floor
\par He couldn't quite explain it
\par They'd always just gone there
\par
\par \pard\plain \s251\sa120\keep\keepn \scaps\f4\fs14\lang1033 In The Days Of The Caveman
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 When you go on camping trips you're stuck right out in
nature
\par Foraging the forests like a primate
\par Using sharpened tools instead of hotplates
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Your thumb and forefinger supposed to show you're
not a wild beast
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 You can hear their noises at night time
\par You don't have to keep a certain bedtime
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 See in the shapes of my body
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Leftover parts from the apes and the monkeys
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Sometimes when I lie awake I hear the rainfall on
my tent fly
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 I think of all the insects that are sleeping
\par And wonder if the animals are dreaming
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 In the days of the caveman and mammoths and
glaciers
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Bugs and trees were food then; no pyjamas or doctors
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 And when I finally get to sleep, I dream in
technicolor
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
\par Alive and being fed into a zoo cage
\par
\par \pard\plain \s251\sa120\keep\keepn \scaps\f4\fs14\lang1033 Swimming In Your Ocean
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 When I'm sampling from your bosom
\par Sometimes I suffer from distractions like
\par Why does God cause things like tornadoes and train wrecks?
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 When I'm swimming in
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 When I'm swimming in your ocean
\par Floating aloft on creams
\par And scented lotions
\par I can get pretty side-tracked
\par I hope you'll understand
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 When I kneel before your bounty
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Sometimes I wonder if there could be really
\par UFO's that come from other planets
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 And when you let me taste your fingers
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 I take them like fruit and as I linger I
\par Wonder if my seed will find purchase in your soil ...
\par
\par \pard\plain \s251\sa120\keep\keepn \scaps\f4\fs14\lang1033 Here I Stand Before Me
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 My doctor told me that it was time for me to have my X ray
\par Of course, I had many nightmares about that fatal day
\par My voice trembles down inside me
\par I'm trapped way down in my body
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 I, I, I, oh here I stand before me
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 But something's out of place here
\par My mind's eye is missing from my body
\par Well I know it's there but I can't see where
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Well take my fingers, what do fingers really mean
to me?
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 You can easily look them up in the dictionary:
\par They call them digits, or technically they're known as the "philanges"
\par My joints connected up inside me
\par Way down deep inside my body
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 My bones shine brightly, a map of my whole body
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 My vital organs just churn away inside me
\par Some day they're going to stop this motion
\par And I'll be left with ...

\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Running into you like this without warning
\par Is like catching a sniff of tequila in the morning
\par But I'll try, I'll try to keep my food down
\par That's quite an after-taste that you've left now that you're not around
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 You can just pretend we're not in the same room
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Well, alright, I'll just mosey to the bathroom
\par You flew by like a summer vacation
\par And you left me with TV-movies and a messy kitchen
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 I think I'll disappear now, slip out sideways
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Just for a while - but until then I'll stay in and sleep
late, excuse me
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 I'll buy a fast car, I'll drive fast from here
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 There's a beach I haven't seen since last year -
\par It's far, but I like night drives;
\par It just makes it nicer when I do arrive
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Aren't you going to miss me?
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 Aren't you going to even say one thing to me anymore?
\par \pard\plain \s255\qj\sb24 \f4\fs10\lang1033 Well, you can bet that I'll forget how it was
then:
\par \pard\plain \qj \f4\fs10\lang1033 All the drives to your farm for the weekend ...
\par But I've seen the swimsuit magazines
\par And I've smelled tequila first thing in the morning

Here are the chords for this song as closely as I could figure them out.
He played it somewhat differently on Saturday Night Live, so I'm
including what I hear on the CD, but also noting where he seemed to do
things differently. Also take note of a weird chord that I don't know
the name of that I've marked with asterisks and included a crude tab of
how it is played.

TAB for Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm (Crash Test Dummies)

Tabbed by Bernardo Siu (bsiu@malloco.ing.puc.cl)
(CAPO ON 3RD FRET)
This is the way I play this song on my accoustic. The following

tab is based on the chords given by Liz Myers.
For each chord written below, play the following sequence:
C Am G F
---------0----- ---------0----- ---------3----- ---------1-----
---1-----1--1-- ---1-----1--1-- ---3-----3--3-- ---1-----1--1--
---0--------0-- ---2--------2-- ---4--------4-- ---2--------2--
------2-------- ------2-------- ------5-------- ------3--------

---------1----- ---------0-----
---3-----3--3-- ---0-----0--0--
---2--------2-- ---0--------0--
------0-------- ------3--------
---0----------- ---3-----------

So if the chords are, say, Am G G C you should play:
Am G G C
---------0-------------3--------------3---------------0-----
---1-----1--0----3-----3--3-----3-----3--0------1-----1--1--
---2--------0----4--------4-----4--------0------0--------0--

F C G# C
Wouldn't go to change with the girls in the change room
F C G C
But when they finally made her
G C F C G G G
They saw birthmarks all over her body
G# C
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there
PLAY CHORUS TWICE
BRIDGE:

Both girl and boy were glad
Dm Dm C G F G

'Cause then there was a boy whose

Parents made him come right home directly after school

And when they went to their church

They shook and lurched all over the church floor
G# C
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there
PLAY CHORUS TWICE
Outro is the same progression as the bridge. As my guitar doesn't have a

built-in fade-out :-), I end this song like this:

(x = Left-hand-muted percussive note)
This is played four times as an intro (drums come in the second time, and
harmonica and Hammond come in the third time). Although the chords for the
links between the verses are different, I think the riff is played over these
as well. It's kind of hard to tell what the guitar is doing after the intro,
since it disappears in the mix.

(Let's begin)
D G
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
D G
Spreading wisdom and cash around
D G
Fed the starving and housed the poor
D G
Showed the vatican what gold's for
G A Bm
But he made too many enemies
G A Bm
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
G A
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
G Gm/Bb A/C# D D/C# D/B D/A G G/F# Em A
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Peter Pumpkinhead brought to shame

Governments who would slur his name
Plots and sex scandals failed outright
Peter merely said "Any kind of love is alright"

Peter Pumpkinhead was too good

Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
He died grinning on live TV
Hanging there he looked a lot like you and an awful lot like me

G Gm/Bb A/C# D D/C# D/B
G A
G A
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin?

Hooray for Pe -ter Pumpkin -head

Alright, alright - I make you want to cry out (?)

This next beautiful song, is taken from hearing the debut album (I think),
from Beverley Craven by the same name. I'm not sure about the correctness
of the chords -- so if someone has better solutions, please let me know...

Missing You Beverley Craven
Cm Gm
The dreams I have are unrepeatable,
Cm Gm
And you always play a starring role,
Cm Gm
I'm just glad to have the time with you,
Cm D Gm
It's the only place we can go.
I walk around the next day in a daze,

Flashes of a feeling of your face,
Three photographs, a letter and my memories,
Are all I have to fill this space.
Cm Ebm Cm
Now you've gone, now you've gone,
Fm
But I keep missing you,
G7
I keep missing you,
Cm Ebm Cm
Now you've gone, now you've gone,
Fm
But I keep missing you,
D7 - G
I keep missing you.
Sometimes I laugh the way you used to laugh,

Or say the things you used to say,
If you can see me now, just give me a sign,
'Cos I can't believe you've really gone.
Now you've gone, now you've gone, ... etc.
;; Instrumental: start of verse, continue with last two verse-lines:
Cm D Gm
The way you tossed your hair, and fooled around,
Cm D Gm
Will we ever meet again?
Now you've gone, now you've gone, ... etc.

OK this is just for a bit of a laugh, I worked some of them out last
night after hearing some girl singing it really well unaccompanied in a
pub. I thought next week I might grab the guitar and join her. As I say
I've only worked them out to a point, I'll do the rest tonight and I'll
post them if zi get the time. From memory.

words here, just to let you
know where abouts in the song
you should be)

Ab C#m C#(maj) F#m D D(Ebass) (xx2232)
Main Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~
A C#m D ??????????????????????????? I put down the guitar and

fell asleep here.
Good melody isn't it? I bet us guitarists could learn a thing or two
about melodic chromatics and key changes from this one. Not a cliche
anywhere. Anyone care to finish it off?
By the way I can't remember if I told you what the song was,
It's by Beverly Craven and it's called Promise me.
Cheers,
Big Toe.

Back to the A pattern then it's just rock 'n roll from there on in, though
use the D7 pattern after the rock 'n roll E
Try using different variations on the chords to make it more interesting.

Such as going from an open E to an E7 plyed as a C7 shape at the fourth fret
but missing out the barre and hitting the top and bottom open strings.
Try the same with the A:- play it as an E shape at the 5th but miss out the
barre (don't hit the open B though). Mess around with it a bit, don't copy it
slavishly These are useful variations to add during the singing parts.
If you switch it to E, A7, B, these variations work pretty well.
Hey! what do I know anyway? I only play this stuff and it sounds ok to me!

Fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy
Take me if you please
I went down to the crossroads

Tried to flag a ride
Down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me
Everybody passed by
I'm going down to Rosedale

Take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side

You can run, you can run

Strange brew killing what's inside of you

A7 D9
In her own mad mind she's in love with you, with you
A7
Now whatcha gonna do?
E7(9+) D7(9+) A7
A7 D9
She's some kind of demon dusting in the flue

What kind of fool are you
E7(9+) D7(9+) A7
(repeat intro)

On a boat in the middle of a raging sea

She would make a scene for it all to be ignored
A7
And wouldn't you be bored

Sorry for the solo. Hope I can add it as soon as possible. Just try some blues
scales and it should be ok.

basically if you know what comes where, then you're on your way to
playing this song. when i write repeat, i mean several times, this is how
it goes. if you count the first riff as one, the second as two, and the
third as three it goes.
one one one one two two one three three three
then a lot of open A and the whole song repeats like that.

The solo was transcribed by a friend, and seems to be almost exact. The
distortion Clapton used was due more to speakers that weren't up to it than
any distortion effects. Use the Neck pickup with the tone all the way back.

[See also the "White Room" file in OLGA's Eric Clapton section.]
This is an addition to what's in OLGA for Cream's "White Room":
The previous poster used the key of A. The track on "Disraeli Gears"
and Clapton's "24 Nights" has it in D; that's what I've used here as did
the poster in OLGA's Clapton section.
The opening chords are:
Gm F Dm C Gm F Dm C A?

B 11 10 10 8 | 11 10 10 8 8

D x x 0 10 | x x 0 10 7
A x x x x | x x x x 0
E x x x x | x x x x x
Each chord is played with heavy vibrato and controlled feedback.
The chords for the verses are:

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
You said no strings could secure you at the stations.

Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out felt my own need just beginning.
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
I'll wait for you where the shadows run from themselves
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd

Consolation from the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's jst dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd,
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

I found that the other file of CCR's Bad Moon Rising sounds diferent to the
song I have on cd. I found that it sounds ok if you capo it at the
second fret. But I also worked it out so you wouldn't need a capo. (I
also found that the lyrics weren't the same as what they sing, so here it
is with all corrections: )

Subject: Re: REQ: "Born on the Bayou" by CCR
Yow! Brings back memories of my bar band days, howling my balls off trying
to sing that one just like John Fogerty...
As I recall, the intro riff is just arpegggios based on this fingering

for an E7 chord: x7675x
The chords are basically just E7, with your occasional D -> A change thrown
in. Lyrics, as best as I can remember 'em 25 years later:
When I was just a little boy

A-standin' to my daddy's knee
My papa said, "son, don't let the man getcha
And do what he done to me"
And I can remember the Fourth of July

A-runnin' through the backwoods bare
And I can still hear that old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou...
Wish I was back on the bayou

A-rollin' with some Cajun queen
Wish I was on a fast freight train
Just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
Classic rock - as opposed to "Classic Rock" - by one of the greatest American

bands ever...

> Please, is anyone has the tab/crd for this tune, please post.
This old Ledbetter song has been redone by more than just CCR: The Beach Boys
screwed it up really bad, Harry Belafonte sang it, Ace Cannon played it on the
sax, Floyd Cramer did it on the piano, Pete Fountain blew it out, Bill Monroe
bluegrassed it, The Highwaymen, The New Chrisy Minstrals, and, yes, even
Lawrence Welk did it Live at Lake Tahoe. Here's how me and the boys do it:
Cotton Fields (Ledbetter)
[E] When I was a little bitty baby

My [A] mama would rock me in the cradle
In them [E] ole cotton fields back [B7] home
It was [E] down in Louisi[E7]ana
Just about a [A] mile from Texarkana
In them [E] ole [B7] cotton fields back [E] home
[step up to A] When them [A] cotton bolls get rotten

You cant [E] pick very much cotton
In them ole cotton fields back [B7] home
It was [E] down in Louisi[E7]ana
Just about a [A] mile from Texarkana
In them [E] ole [B7] cotton fields back [E] home

Subject: CRD: "Effigy"--Creedence Clearwater Revival (Corrected)
"Effigy" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

from the album Willy and the Poorboys--1969
transribed hastily (too hastily, since I got it wrong and had to fix it)
by Patrick Glass (patrick@spy.net)
Just the chords, because I can't quite make out all of the solo, but once
you know what the chords are, it's not too hard.
This is the whole chord progression:
C D Dsus4 D G C G E E7 E E7
Put it with the words and it sounds like this
C D Dsus4 D
Last night,
G C G E E7 E E7
I saw the fire burning on the palace door
C D Dsus4 D
O'er the land,
G C G E E7 E E7
Humble subjects watched with mixed emotion
C D Dsus4 D
Who is burning
G C Am7 E E7 E E7
Who is burning the effigy
(repeat that line again)
And here are all the words for the song:
Last night, I saw the fire burning on the palace lawn

O'er the land, humble subjects watched with mixed emotion
Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??
Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the palace door

Silent majority wasn't keeping quiet anymore
Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the countryside

In the morning, few were left to watch the ashes die
Why? Why? Why? Effigy!
By far, my favorite CCR song. It just kicks.
NOTE:You could play the second G as a G/B (x20003). It sounds pretty good
that way, and might actually be the way it goes. But I wouldn't know :)

ooh, they send you down to war.
And when you ask them: "How much should we give?"
Oh, they only answer: "More, more, more"

I'm almost sure I posted this not too long ago. I got this from a tab book of
CCR. I believe the chorus uses the moving bassline and slash chords as opposed
to the minor chords.
Could someone please send this to Nevada FTP because I'm not sure how to.
The chorus uses a moving bass line which is incorporated into the chords.

that's basically it. there's two guitars in the song. the first plays that
part and the other plays a reptiotion of the following chords:
Dm A7 G. then the end of the verse comes in, and i guess you can
throw in a Bm. here are the verses:-)
Verse 1:
Bet you're wondering how i knew 'bout your plans to make me blue, with some
other guy that you knew before. between the two of us guys you knew i love
you more. it took me by surprise i must say when i found yesterday

you know that a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears i can't hold

me go for the others guy that you knew before.
Oooh I
Chrous:
p.s. if there are 2 guitar players around, one person play the crap at the
top, and another play the samething, but just improvise.
3rd String-5th string
4th String-6th string,
meaning, the other person play a nice bassy part, just following the same
shit at the top, but using 3rd string as the 5th string.

Just about a year ago

I set out on the road
G/F# Em
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Am D
And lookin' for a pot of gold
G Em
Things got bad, and things got worse
C G
I guess you know the tune
D C G
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again
I rode in on a Greyhound,
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
The man from the magazine

Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connection
Ran out of songs to play
I came into town on a one-night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
If I only had a dollar

For every song I've sung
And every time I've had to play
While people sat there drunk
You know I'd catch the next train

SOMEDAY NEVER COMES

Credence Clearwater Revival
B# F# G#m Em
First thing I remember was asking papa, why,
B# G B#
For there were many things I didn't know.
F# G#m E
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand,
B# F# B#
Saying, someday you'll understand.
(chorus:) F# B#
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,
F# B#
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
C#m E B#
'Cause someday never comes.
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust.

When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man,
And someday you'll understand.
Well, I'm here...
And then one day in April, I wasn't even there,

A son was born to me. Mama held his hand,
sayin' someday you'll understand.
Well, I'm here...
(change progression:)
G7
C G Am Fm
Think it was September, the year I went away,
C A6 C
C G Am F
And still I see him standing tryin' to be a man,
C G C
I said, someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,

That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,

Subject: Up around the bend: Creedence Clearwater Revival
Here it is - the best song that CCR have ever recorded with one of
the most ear-catching riffs I have ever heard. It sound so good and
it's so easy to play. It gets even better when John Fogerty's
growling vocals come into it.
I worked this out myself, so I'm not sure if it's correct
UP AROUND THE BEND - Creedence Clearwater Revival

J.C Fogerty
Album: Cosmos Factory (1970) (can also be found on various greatest
hits compilations that CCR have released every couple of years.
Recent ones include the 21st anniversary collection (1990) and double
CD Keep on Chooglin' (1995))
By the way, does anyone have a guitar tab (not chords) for the verses
and the saxophone bit in "As long as I can see the light" from CCR.
If so, send it - I desperatly need it!.

Someone requested this one (it may well be in Nevada but what the

busy with other things, so don't hold your breath.
This is off the top off my head, so I can't remember the fills.

Long as I remember, the rain been coming round.

Clouds of mystery pourin', confusion on the ground.

Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun,

Heard the singers playing, how we cheered for more.

The crowd had rushed together, tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin', falling on my ears.
I went down Virginia, seeking shelter from the storm.

Cought up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains,

Subject: CRD/LYR/TAB: A long time ago - Jim Croce
A few days ago someone asked about Photographs and Memories by

John Denver, but actually he or she was reffering to A long time ago
by Jim Croce. So here it is. I TABbed the intro only (due to
lazyness...), which is basically the same as the verse.
A long time ago - Jim Croce
Intro: G - D - Em - C - G/B - Am - C - G
G D Em
Seems like such a long time ago
C G/B Am C G
I was walking on lonely road
G D Em
Getting tired of dreamin' alone
C G/B Am C G
Like all the lonely people I had known
Seems like such a long time ago

There was no-one who would share my song
I was just a boy far from home
And I became a man when you came along
C C/B Am Am/G Em
We spent the whole night talking
D C G D G
You said you'd like to see the sun rise
C C/B Am Am/G Em
But in the gold of morning
D C G D G
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes
Em D
Hmmm
C G/B
I was so afraid to touch you
A G
Thought you were too young to know
C C/B Am Em D
So I just watched you sleeping
C G/B
Then you woke and said to me
Am G
The night is cold it frightens me
C C/B Am Em D
I could sleep so easy next to you
Wasn't very long ago

You said that you would like to share my road
Then you started singing my song
You said so many nights are waiting

Let's not spent a moment waisting time
'Cause we have very far to go
I will go if you will take me
I have never had a lover
I am young but I am so alone
We spent the whole night talking

(...)
But in the gold of morning
(...)
Em D D7 G
Hmmm, mmm mmm

Well the <G7>South side of Chicago

Of a <D7>man named Leroy <G7>Brown

All the <B7>downtown ladies call him <C7>treetop lover
All the <D7>men just call him <G7>sir

And he <G7>bad, bad Leroy Brown
The <A7>baddest man in the whole damned town
<B7>Badder than old King <C7>Kong
And <D7>meaner than a junkyard <G7>dog
Now Leroy, he a gambler

And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental
He got an Eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe
(CHORUS)
Now Friday 'bout a week ago

Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name Doris
And oo, that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
Leroy Brown learned a lesson 'bout messin'
With the wife of a jealous man
(CHORUS)
Well the two men took to fighting

And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone.

G Bm C B Am7 G C B A G
Operator oh could you help me place this call
Am D Em D C B A G
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
G Bm C B Am7 G C B A G
She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
Am D7 Em D C B A G
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
G C G
CHORUS: Isn't that the way they say it goes
| C D
| But lets forget all that
| G Am
| And give me the number if you can find it
| C D Em Bm Am
| So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show
| D C G
| I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
| Am C
| I only wish my words could just convince myself
| D7 C G
| That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels
G Bm C (B) Am7 G C (B A G)
Operator oh could you help me place this call
Am D7 Em (D C B A G)
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
G Bm C (B A G )
There's something in my eye, you know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me
CHORUS
G Bm C (B) Am7 G C (B A G)
Operator let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
G Bm
Thank you for your time,

You can keep the dime

PHOTOGRAPHS & MEMORIES JIM CROCE
Gmaj7 C Gmaj7 C
Photographs and memories, Christmas cards you sent to me
Am7 Bm Em Am7 D7
All that I have are these to remember you
Gmaj7 C Gmaj7 C
Memories that come at night take me to another time
Am7 Bm Em Am7 D7
Back to a happier day, when I called you mine
chorus
Gmaj7 C Gmaj7 C
But we sure had a good time when we started way back when
Gmaj7 C Bm F#m D7
Morning walks and bedroom talks, oh, how I loved you then
Summer skies and lullabies, nights we couldn't say goodbye,

And of all of the things that we knew, not a dream survived.
Photographs and memories, all the love you gave to me,
Somehow it just can't be true, that's all I've left of you.

Subject: Roller Derby Queen, By Jim Croce
ROLLER DERBY QUEEN

<E7>Gonna tell you a story you won't believe

But <A7>I fell in love last Friday evening
With a <B7>girl I saw on a <A7>bar room TV <E7>screen
<E7>Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she <A7>caught my eye and I put it back
And <B7>ordered myself a <A7>couple o' more shots and <E7>beers
CHORUS:
The night that <G7>I fell in love with a <A7>roller derby <E7>queen
(Round and round, oh round and round)
<G7>Meanest hunk o' woman that <A7>anybody ever <B7>seen
Down in the arena
She was <E7>five-foot-six and two-fifteen

A <A7>bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
She <B7>knew how to knuckle
And she <A7>knew how to scuffle and <E7>fight
The roller derby program said

That she was <A7>built like a 'frigerator with a head
Her <B7>fans call her Tuffy
But <A7>all her buddies call her <E7>Spike
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
<E7>Round and round, go round and round
<A7>Round and round, go round and round
<B7> <A7> <E7>
Well I could not help but to fall in love

With this heavy-duty woman I've been speakin' of
Things were kind of bad until the day she skated into my life
Well she might be nasty, and she might be fat
But I never met a person who would tell her that
She's my big blonde bomber, my heavy-handed Hackensack mama
(CHORUS)

SPEEDBALL TUCKER
I drive a <E7>broke-down rig on "may-pop" tires

<A7>Forty foot of over<E7>load
A lot of people say that I'm crazy
Because I <A7>don't know how to take it <E7>slow
I got a <E7>broomstick on the throttle
I got her <A7>opened up and head right <E7>down
<C#m7>Nonstop back to <A7>Dallas
Poppin' them <E7>West Coast <B7>turnarounds<E7>
CHORUS:
And they call me <A7>Speedball, Speedball Tucker
<E7>Terror of the highways, and all them other truckers
Will <C#m7>tell you that the boy is <A7>mad
To be <E7>drivin' in a <B7>rig like <E7>that
You know the rain may blow, the snow may snow
The turnpikes, they may freeze
But they don't bother old Speedball
He goin' any damn way he please
He got a broomstick on the throttle
To keep his throttle foot a-dancin' 'round
With a cup full of cold black coffee
And a pocketful of West Coast turnarounds
(CHORUS)
One day I looked into my rear-view mirror

And comin' up from behind
There was a Georgia state policeman
And a hundred dollar fine
Well he looked me in the eye as he was writin' me up
He said, "Driver, you've been flyin'
And ninety-five was the route you were on
It was not the speed limit sign."
(CHORUS 2X)

THESE DREAMS
by Jim Croce
Dm Gm
Once we were lovers,
A Dm
But somehow things have changed.
Gm Dm
Now we're just lonely people
Gm A
Tryin' to forget each others' names.
Gm Dm
Now we're just lonely people
Gm A
Tryin' to forget each others' names.
D G A
What came between us?
D F#m
Maybe we were just too young to know.
G G/F# Em A
But now and then I feel the same.
D
And sometimes at night
D/C# Bm Bm/A
I think I hear you callin' my name.
G G/F# Em
Mm, mm, mm, these dreams,
A D A Dm
They keep me goin' these days.
Once we were lovers,

But that was long ago.
We lived together then,
And now we do not even say hello.
We lived together then,
And now we do not even say hello.
What came between us, etc.

Subject: You Don't Mess Around With Jim, by Jim Croce
YOU DON'T MESS AROUND WITH JIM

<E>Uptown's got its hustlers

The Bowry's got its bums
Forty-second street's got Big Jim Walker
He's a <E7>pool-shootin' son of a gun
Well he's <A7>big and dumb as a man can come
But he's stronger than a country hoss
And when the <B7>bad folks all get <A7>together at night
You know they <B7>all call Big Jim <A7>"boss"
(Just be<E>cause ...)
(They say ...)
CHORUS:
You don't <A7>tug on Superman's <E7>cape
You don't <A7>spit into the <E7>wind
You don't <A7>pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger
And you <B7>don't mess around with <E7>Jim
(Ba-doo-da-doo-doo <A7>doo-doo-doo-doo <B7>doot)
Well out of South Alabama come a country boy

He said I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
I am a pool-shootin' boy, my name is Willie McCoy
But back home they call me Slim
He said I'm lookin' for the king of forty-second street
He's drivin' a drop-top Cadillac
And last week he took all my money, and it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back
(And everybody say, Jack -- don't you know that...)

(CHORUS)
Well a hush fell over the pool room

When Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
And when the cuttin' was done, the only part that wasn't bloody
Was the soles of the big man's feet
He was cut in 'bout a hundred places
And he was shot in a couple more
And you better believe they sung a different kind of story
When Big Jim hit the floor
(And now they say)
You don't tug on Superman's cape

You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim

I am a pool-shootin' boy, my name is Willie McCoy
But down home they call me "Slim" [G7]
Yeah, I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd street [C F C F]

He drivin' a drop-top Cadillac [C F C]
Last week he took all my money and it may sound funny [D C]
but I come to get my money back [D C]
and everybody say, "Hey Jack... don't you know..." [G C G]
[repeat Chorus]
Well a hush feel over the pool room [G]

Jimmy come a-boppin' in off the street
And when the cuttin' was done the only part that wasn't bloody
was the soles of the big man's feet [G7]
Yeah, he were cut in 'bout a hundred places [C F C F]

and he were shot in a couple more [C F C]
And you better believe they sung a different kind of story [D C]
when Big Jim hit the floor [D C]
Whoa... now they say... [G C G]
You don't tug on Superman's cape [C7 G]
You don't spit into the wind [C7 G]
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger [C7]
and you don't mess around with "Slim" [D7 G C7 G C7]
[Spoken, use G-C progression]

"Yeah Big Jim got his hat, find out where it's at
and it's not hustlin' people strange to you
Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue."
[repeat "Slim" Chorus]

I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Em11 D7addG C12 C10 C9 C7 C5 C3 C2
And I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had the flu for Christmas

And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking into a mirror and seeing a police car
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear

Cos I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together

I'm gonna get down in some of that sweet summer weather
I'm going to find a space inside to laugh

Separate the wheat from the chaff
Cos I feel like I owe it, yeah
Said I feel like I owe it, yeah
You know I feel---- like I owe it yeah to someone

Notes: This is figured out from the solo live version, esp. that from the
U.N. 1989 show. It may not be like the album verion. There are lots of
extra frills and variations that I didn't add, but this should give the
general idea. This is pretty rough since I'm not familiar with this
tuning. I have found out that Tracks in the Dust and Rusty and
Blue are also in this tuning (my previous posting to Olga of Tracks in
the Dust is totally wrong) but I can't make heads or tails of either of
those songs, although I'd really like to play them. If anyone can, let
me know!

GUINNEVERE By David Crosby
TABbed by Jay Verkuilen (jayv@uiuc.edu) with some formatting by Bill Kok

(kok@oasys.dt.navy.mil).
Thanks to both Kurt Zimmermann and Rick Schattnik for much valuable help
with this song.
Tuning: EBDGAD, low to high. Guinnevere is a real tricky song. It has

wierd, ambiguous chords, several time signature changes, and some odd
fingerpicking. Worse, the "feel" of this song is really hard to get.
Most chords are picked through--I will suggest picking in the TAB.
Some of the chords are pretty wierd and the names are major stretches.
Given that this song implies quartal or whole tone harmony this isn't
surprising, but you were warned. (Hopefully I made few mistakes :)
You might be able to figure out the right picking by listening
to the song and playing each chord.

(Note: I'm kind of unsure about the part above. I tried to render as best
as I could what I play here (although I tend to improvise a lot when finger-
picking). It is close and doesn't sound out of place, but you should
consider what Crosby actually plays here as it might be different. I
personally don't like literal copies so I don't know exactly what he does.
In any event, the original song has several different instruments and
I have tried to render the different parts as best I could.)

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Guenivere had green eyes,

Like yours my lady like yours.
She'd walk out in the garden in the morning after
it rained,
Peacocks wandered aimlessly,
Underneath an orange tree.
Why can't she see me?
Verse 2
Guenivere drew pentagrams,

Like yours my lady like yours,
Late at night when she thought no one was watching,
on the wall.
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do...
She shall be free.
Bridge
As she turns her gaze,

Down the slope to the harbor where I lay,
Anchored for a day.
Verse 3
Guenivere had golden hair,

Like yours my lady like yours,
Streaming out when we rode through the warm sands down by the bay,
yesterday.
Seagulls circle endlessly,
I sing in silent harmony.
We shall be free.

THOUSAND ROADS- David Crosby
E (w RIFF)
I used to walk around with my eyes on fire
My nerves real close to my skin
Had a fist full of questions and a brand on my cheek
We would skate where the ice got thin
CHORUS #1:
G/F# G D A (Em11)
And the smoke blowin' down from a cabin on the hill
G D A (Em11)
And smoke blowin' down in the street
G D A (Em11)
Some kind of sweet smelling mystical backdrop
G D A
To the story unfolding at my feet
Now there's an edge to the twister I throw back in the air

There's an edge to the twist of the knife
There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there
Just around the corner from life
CHORUS #2:
And I, I have no answers
I got no patented path to set you free
Besides, I wouldn't know where you wanted to go
And it's probably not the same place as me
Now there's a thousand roads up this mountain

You can get lost in a minute if you try
And it's probably enough that I was just laughing today
And looking this close in your eye
CHORUS #3:
I said there's a thousand roads up this mountain, yeah
You can get lost in a minute if you try
It's probably enough that I was just laughing today
Looking this close in your eye
In your eye
In your eye

And have another glass of wine
While the world goes to hell
Which you know damn well it's going to do just down the line?"
And his lady said "I dunno, how can you be so sure
I mean, some things seem to get better
The hero still saves the damsel in distress
The villan doesn't get her"
And I said "Where have you been living?
I mean they're selling death in the streets, cheap
And the lying politicians are rolling in the profits they reap"
He said "He's right honey, but I think it's always been that way"
And he smiled kind of patiently and I knew he was going to say

\______/ (4 beats)
|E<1> |<2>
Four and twenty years ago, I come into this life,
|<3> |<4>
the son of a woman and a man who lived in strife.
|G<5> <6> |A<7>
He was tired of bein' poor,
|G<5> <6> |A<7>
and he wasn't into sellin' door to door,
|G<5> <6> |A<7> |<8>
and he worked like the devil to be more.
A different kind of poverty now upsets me so;

night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know,
why am I so alone?
Where is my woman, can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away? Is she gone?
Morning comes the sunrise and I'm driven to my bed.

I see it is empty and there's devils in my head.
I embrace the many-colored beast.
I grow weary of the torment can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.

After the clouds disappear, after the rainbow has gone
G Bm C D
I'm left with a song in my ear, the melody is lingering on
Em Bm C D G Gsus G D
How come I have to explain, music is worth all the pain
G Bm C D
After the rain washes down, after the fog burns away
G Bm C D
Will I see the sun coming round, closer and closer each day
Em Bm C D
How come I have to explain, people are worth all the pain
G Bm Em
I just want to see the love in your eyes

After the storm has passed you and gone
C D Bm C D G
When you're dreaming of how it could be, it doesn't work to pretend
C D Em
Let me tell you what happened to me
C D G Bm Em /
Just to get to the end, I needed a friend

After the rainbow had gone

It's so sad losing a friend, but the memories are lingering on

I feel like letting my freak flag fly

Yes I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had the flu for Christmas

And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking into a mirror and seeing a police car
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear

Cos I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together

I'm gonna get down in some of that sweet summer weather
I'm going to find a space inside to laugh

Separate the wheat from the chaff
Cos I feel like I owe it, yeah
Said I feel like I owe it, yeah
You know I feel like I owe it yeah to someone

As I come of age, I keep fallin' down

And I feel just like a schoolboy

I was in a senseless rage
F Bb F
Running too hard, and I tore you all to pieces
CHORUS:

Yes but it's all over now

And I'm a little bit older now

The lessons that I'm learning now

Are gonna make it easy (somehow)
C G F
Now again I try, starting over

Put the pieces back together

Even as I cry, bitter tears
Bb F
I can see it's all a puzzle
Am F D C
A game, always the same, ooh ...CHORUS
By the time I die, with the passing

If I've sorted out my changes
And if you could take the time
I would tell you that it's still a puzzle
The same, always a game, ooh
(from the CSN box set, recorded by CSN around 1981 but unreleased till
the set, originally done by Stills on his solo album Stills in 1975. I
prefer the 75 version. (the extra word "somehow" comes from that version))

When I was a young man, I found an old dream
E B A C#m B
It was as battered and worn a one, as you have ever seen
E B A C#m B
I invented some new wings, and I painted a nose
E B A C#m A
I wished so hard, up in the air, I ro-o-ose, singing

Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
D A E
Carry me, carry me, carry me
E B A C#m B
And I once loved a girl, she was younger than me
E B
Her parents kept her locked, up in their lives
A C#m B
And she was crying, she was wishing she could be free
E B
Of course I mostly remember her laughing
A C#m B
Standing there and watching us play
E B A C#m A
For a while then, the music, would take her away and she'd be singing
E D A E
Carry me, carry me, carry me, above this world

E B A
Then there was my mother, she was lying in white sheets there
C#m B
And she was waiting to die
E B A
She said if you just reach underneath this bed, and untie these weights
C#m B
I could surely fly
E B
She's still smiling but she's tired
A C#m B
She'd like to hear that last bell ring

You know if she still could she would, stand up, she would sing

DAVID CROSBY TUNINGS
In July 1988 the now defunct Frets magazine published an interview of

David Crosby. I encourage you to find a copy of it at your local library
if you can. In addition to the interview it includes a transcription of
the song Guinnevere and a list of the tunings he used. Here's the list
of tunings so that people who like songs in alternate tunings can start
figuring out some of these and hopefully post them! Additions to this
list are of course very welcome- obviously songs from his more recent
solo albums are not included here as the interview was in 1988.

*= Laughing and Triad were also both done by the Byrds. Their version of
Triad is on the Box Set, and the version of Laughing is on the out of
print 1973 reunion album The Byrds.
+= Kids and Dogs apparently was done around 1970 as a duet with Jerry
Garcia. Does anyone know of a bootleg with this on it?
P.S.- the article also mentions that Bluebird by Stephen Stills is in
D A D G B D
P.P.S.- the April 1988 issue of Frets has an article about Nick Drake
with a transcription of the song Road and lots of other good info for
guitarists interested in him.

HAVEN'T WE LOST ENOUGH- Crosby, Stills and Nash
(riff 2x)
Em G Am9 Em G Am9
I was with you, you were alone, now I'm standing here
Em G Am9 Em
Wisdom came only after you'd gone
G C
So I'm starting all over with a tear in my eye
D Em (riff 2x)
I just never thought you'd disappear
In the night your image arises and close behind comes the pain
I hope I dream cos it hurts so bad
When I reached out for you, I'm alone in some room
I just never thought you'd disappear
CHORUS:
G D Am9 Em D
I still love you like a child, wasn't I good enough?
G D Am9 Em D
I still want you, drives me wild, haven't we had it rough?
Em (riff 2x)
Haven't we lost enough?
Time heals all, so they say, I don't know

Sometimes nothing is clear
Maybe someday I'll understand but I know for a start
There's a place in my heart that is yours
And it won't disappear
EXTENDED CHORUS:
Haven't we lost enough?

Helplessly Hoping.. CSN (1969)
Am7 C G D
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers near-by, awaiting a word.
Am7 C G D
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly
Am7 C G D
only to trip at the sound of good-bye...
Am7 C G
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty
D
place in-side
Am7 C G
Heartlessly helping him-self to her bad dreams he worries did he hear
D Am7 C G C/G
a goodbye or even... hel-lo?
CHORUS
G C/G G C/G G C/G

They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, they
G Dm/F C
are for... each other
Am7 C G
Stand by the starway you'll see something certain to tell you confusion
D
has its cost.
Am7 C G D
Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost and
Am7 C C/G
choking... on hel-lo.

HOUSE OF BROKEN DREAMS- Crosby, Stills and Nash
Em (w RIFF)
Living in a house of broken dreams
Where shadows throw shadows at the wall

C
And memories are mountains to climb
Em (w RIFF)
Knowing everyone can fall
And here where the cobwebs count the hours

Since we let the laughter clear the air
Painfully trying to touch
Knowing that we used to care
CHORUS #1:
G A
Separate houses, separate hearts
C Em
It's hard to face the feelings tearing us apart
G A C Em (w RIFF)
But in this house of broken dreams, love lies
Can you keep our castles in the air

While we're keeping both feet on the ground
Cos if you heart can touch another heart
Love can turn it all around
CHORUS #2:
Get rid of those empty glances and empty sighs
Or tears of longing will fill your eyes
In this house of broken dreams, love hides

Title: LEE SHORE (Crosby,Stills,Nash)
All along the lee shore
Shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes, at me
From the sea
Here is one like sunrise
It's older than you know
It's still lying there where some careless wave
Forgot it long ago
When I awoke this morning
I dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
To watch the seafish roam
From here to Venezuela
There's nothing more to see
Than a hundred thousand islands, flung like jewels upon the sea
For you and me
LEAD
Sunset smells of dinner
Women are calling at me to end my tails
But perhaps I'll see you, the next quiet place

I furl my sails

Helping to guide, the blind in a dream

And down by the seashore, a banquet she gave

She was feeding, and needing, the soul she could save

Mama lion, mama lion, you're starting to sink

Beneath the sunshine and the icicles, and the things that you think

There's a hole in my destiny and I'm out on the brink, mama lion

Man In The Mirror (Graham Nash)

G Am C G / Am F D G / / /
C G
On the end of a tightrope, I'm over the town
C G
I'd be good in a circus, but so would a clown
Bm C E
From the way that I feel, all my hangups are down
C G
In the middle of nowhere, I found me a tree
C G
And the fruit that we live on, reminds me of me
Bm C E
Though we live in the air, I'm not sure that we're free
A F#m
And I don't really have much to say
Gmaj7 E
Cause I'm living from day to day, somewhere
A F#m
And I don't care what the people say
Gmaj7 E
Cause if everyone knows the way, we're nowhere
C G
Two and two make four, they never make five
C G
And as long as we know it, we all can survive
Bm C E
Make sure that the things you do, keep us alive
A F#m
And I don't really have much to say
Gmaj7 E
Cause I'm living from day to day, somewhere
A F#m
And I don't care what the people say
Gmaj7 E
Cause if everyone knows the way, we're nowhere
C G
Is the image I'm making, the image I see

When the man in the mirror, is talking to me

I cannot remember feeling quite so self assured

It must have been back in my teens

I was such a basket case when I was young
D
It's obviously something that I dreamed
C Bm
I have always been a most reclusive kind of guy
Em7 D C
When love's around I usually run and hide
G D
But don't you go believing I was ever that confused
C G
I was really only waiting for you

Really only waiting for you, what do you suppose that we can do
Em7 D
Anything whatever that you want to last forever
C G / Em7 / D / / /
Really only waiting for you

I cannot escape the overwhelming feeling
D
Destiny has taken us in hand
G Em7
And nothing that we do is gonna change the way
D
This love affair is never gonna end
C Bm
And I know it's hard getting used to the idea
Em7 D C
That your lover wants to be your best friend
G D
With a showing of affection and a measure of romance

This is really only waiting for you

It was working till the other day I met you

And I fell in love from twenty yards away

I've got one last truly great love left in my life

SOUTHERN CROSS- Crosby, Stills, & Nash
G F C
Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands
G F C
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
G F C
She was makin' for the trades on the outside,
G F C
And the downhill run to Papeete Bay
G F C
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
G C C Am G
We got eighty feet of the waterline, nicely making way
G F C
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
G F C Am G
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
CHORUS:
F C F G
Think about how many times I have fallen
F C F G
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
F C F G
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
C F G
I have been around the world
C F G
lookin' for that woman, girl
C F G
Who knows love can endure
G F C G F C
And you know it will And you know it will
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin'
C Am G
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
C Am G
She is all that I have left and music is her name ...CHORUS
So we cheated and we lied and we tested

And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested C Am G
But somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
In the Southern Cross

NOTES:
B(no3)* means alternate between B(no3) and B6(no3) like a blues rhythm
pattern
E(no5) can substitute E(no3) since they are so similar. Asus2 can be
played with all the strings barred at the 5th fret for a fuller sound.
I also like to play all the 12th string harmonics each time after he says
"I am yours".

Is it all that you thought, that you thought it took?

Can it be taken at all?
Were you looking for signs along the way?

Is this road really the only way?
Can this road be taken, taken at all?

Lost it on the highway

Things were out of sight
You were going your way
Trying to make a light

Did you see by your lonely light of day
Is this road really the only way

Teach Your Children by Graham Nash
I looked at the archives and didn't see this one there.
Bascially, it's D, G, and A with a Bm thrown in on the last line

of each verse.
In several places, you can play around with the A chord on the
B string. The pattern is A Asus A A* A. I use A* because I forget the
name. The chord structures are:
E A D G B E
A 0 0 2 2 2 0
Asus 0 0 2 2 3 0
A* 0 0 2 2 0 0
INTRO: D G D A
D G
You who are on the road
D A
Must have a code that you can live by
D G
And so become yourself
D A
Because the past is just a good-bye.
D G
Teach your children well,
D A
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
D G
And feed them on your dreams
D A
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
D G D
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
Bm G A
So just look at them and sigh
D G A D
and know they love you.
And you, of tender years,

Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well,

Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

You see a door, ah such a great open door

You know that your eyes tellin' lies, still a chance
A shamblin' run, a ridiculous dance
Like a scarecrow that's hung up to dry on a fence pole
And there's a space like vacuum waiting inside you
For you to get through, to the blue
You scent the water, fresh clean grass, food and water
Your breath is scraping your brain into dust
Your rusty old engine is ready to bust
You cannot believe it that they would not trust you
The door is wavering, is that your eyes?
Are they still telling lies? What are lies?

@SONG: THIS OLD HOUSE

Written by Neil Young
Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking,

The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor.
Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming,
And I don't wanna wake you up when I close the door.
This old house of ours is built on dreams

And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy,

And how he always made things work,
When the chips were down,
And I know I've got something inside me
There's always a light there to guide me
To what can't be found.

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.

Remember how we first came here together?

Standing on an empty lot, holding hands.
Later, we came back in the moonlight
And made love right where the kitchen is,
Then we made our plans.

There are many many heartaches when you're up against the wall
F#m E
And all the love you give won't come back at all
A
And no matter what you do it really hurts to know the truth
A
Love is unequal sometimes
A
When you have a change of heart
A
Cos you've found that you can trust somebody
A
They'll tear the arrow from your heart
A
It's you they'll love it's not just anybody
F#m Bm
There are many many reasons not to play the game at all
F#m E
But in the meantime you are bound to fall cos your wounds are gonna heal
A
You're gonna learn just how to deal, how to deal with unequal love
A
Unequal love, unequal love

URGE FOR GOING- Joni Mitchell/ Crosby and Nash
D C D
I awoke today and found frost had perched on the town
D C D
Harbored in a frozen sky and all the summer down
G F
And when the wind turned trade and cold
G F E
And all the trees are shivering in a naked row
D C D
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
CHORUS:
C G D
And I get the urge for going
C G D
When the meadow grass is turning brown
C G D
And the summertime is falling down
C G D
And the winter's closing in
I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin

And not another man in ten my darling's heart could win
When the leaves fell tremblin' down
(Bullies wished (?)) to rub their faces in the snow
She got the urge for goin', I had to let her go ...CHORUS
Now the warriors of winter give a cold triumphant shout

All that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Laughing and a-racing off before the snow
They got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go ...CHORUS TWICE
NOTE: I don't have a copy of the Joni Mitchell version since its so rare-
I only know the Crosby-Nash version. Perhaps someone with the Michell
version might be able to pick out some of the words that I couldnt quite
catch.
(according the the CSN box set liner notes, the song was written by J.M.
in the mid sixties but not released by her until 1972 as the b-side of
You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio. The Crosby-Nash version was done in 1971 but
not released until the CSN box set came out a few years ago)

WASTED ON THE WAY- Crosby, Stills and Nash
D Em/D A/D D A7/D
D Bm
Look around me - I can see my life before me
G A D Em/D D
Running rings around the way it used to be
D Bm
I am older now - I have more than what I wanted
G A G D Em/D D
But I wish that I had started long before I did
CHORUS:
G A D Bm
And there's so much time to make up everywhere you turn
G A F#m D7
Time we have wasted on the way
G A D Bm
So much water moving underneath the bridge
G A G D
Let the water come and carry us away
D Bm
Oh, when you were young, did you question all the answers
G A G D
Did you envy all the dancers who had all the nerve
D Bm
Look around you now - you must go for what you wanted
G A G D
Look at all my friends who did and got what they deserved
CHORUS:
G A D Bm
And there's so much time to make up everywhere you turn
G A F#m D7
Time we have wasted on the way
G A D Bm
G A G D7
CHORUS #2:
G A D Bm
So much love to make up everywhere you turn
G A F#m D7
Love we have wasted on the way
G A D Bm
G A G D
D G A G D
Let the water come and carry us away------

NOTE: I found this under Graham Nash, but I figure more people will find
it under CSN, since it is a CSN song anyways.

Subject: CHORDS: Woodstock - Crosby Stills Nash & Young
Crosby Stills Nash & Young performed at Woodstock in 1969, and then
recorded this which was written by Joni Mitchell.
I sat down and came up with this recently. I'm not sure if it's 100%
but it sounds good enough to me. And does anyone know the complete
tab to 'Teach your children'. If so, please post it
WOODSTOCK - Crosby Stills Nash & Young

Album: Deja Vu (1970) and I think it's on that double CD that came
out in 1991 which has a collection of their hits.
Written by Joni Mitchell
Em
Well I came upon a child of God
A7sus Em7
He was walking along the road
A7sus Em7
And I asked him "Where are you going"
This he told me
"I'm going on down to Yasgurs farm

A7sus Em
Gonna join in a Rock `n' Roll band
A7sus Em7
Gonna camp out on the land
And set my soul free"
chorus:
A7sus
We are stardust
We are golden
And we are billion year old Crabon

Em7
And we got to get ourselves
Em G A G Em
Back to the gar - den
Can I walk beside you?

I have come to lose the smog
And I feel to be caught in something turning
Maybe it's the time of year or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am but life is for learning
chorus:
By the time we got to Woodtsock

We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies above the nation
chorus:
caught in the devils bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
Chords used:
A x02220
A7sus x02233
Em 022000
Em7 022030

Verse:
E-----------------------------------------------
All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die, says the
C/G-------------------Dsus2/A
man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos of nothing, He says his name is William,

but I'm sure he's Bill or Billy, Mac or Buddy
He's plain ugly to me and I wonder if he's ever had

a day of fun in his whole life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday, in a

bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing theirs carson their lunch break
hosing and scrubbin as best they can in skirts in suits
Pre-chorus:
A------------------------------------Bb6--------
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store, too
A----------------------------------------------(leads into chorus)
Well they're nothing like Billy and me
Chorus:

All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
E7---------------------------------C7--------------------Bm7------------
All I wanna do is have some fun, until the some comes up on the Sta Monica Blvd
Verse:
(One line without lyrics)
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels from his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar then he lights every match in an oversized pack
letting each one burn down to his
thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out

and he's watching the bottles of bud as they spin on the floor
Pre-chorus:
A happy couple enters the bar

Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads
Chorus:
All I wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up on the Sta Monica Blvd.
Verse: (guitar "solo")--very easy to figure out and I'll leave to you for
the sake of expediency in posting this crd. If you want it tabbed out,
just contact me.
Pre-chorus:
Otherwise the bar is ours, and the day and the night
And the car wash too, the matches and the Buds
And the clean and dirty cars, the sun and the moon
Chorus:
All I wanna do...
I will attempt to post this to Nevada as well.

Chord Formations:
The only chord I'm not really sure about is the Bm-chord: it might be
Bm x 2 4 4 3 x where it is possible to pull the finger on the d-string
up to play as I have noted above or
2 2 4 4 3 2 but then the picked part should be
1 2 3 4 5 6
Bm A
E-------------------------|

A-2-------2-------0-------|
E-------------------------| which sounds a bit strange.
Any help, remarks and corrections will be appreciated.
Fuer deutsche Gitarristen: ich habe die englische(?) Notierung verwandt.

Bm ist also zu lesen als h-moll.

This song is quite simple if you know the chords. There is a lot of
picking involved.
This may not be accurate but I know it's the right notes.
This is my second attempt to tab out a song please send comments,
questions and corrections to the following adress.
Jlee@telegraph.com
If you want some other tabs I maybe able to get it for you.
I mostly have alternative tabs like nirvana, smashing pumpkins green
day etc.

Hi folks, I thought I'd waste a bit of time doing some tabbing (I had some
exams, you see) - here's the results.
Thanks to Arabella Clauson (arabella@mail.utexas.edu), Anthony Watson
(dwatson@merle.acns.nwu.edu) and Jan Kaestner (j3kaes01@fsrz1.uni-passau.de)
whose transcriptions I used as a starting point.
Comments, corrections and suggestions welcome.
Enjoy!

RUN, BABY, RUN

--------------
E G#m
She was born in November 1963 - the day that Aldous Huxley died
F#m
And her mama believed that every man could be free
/G# A7
So her mama got high, high, high
/B C7
And her daddy marched on Birmingham singing mighty protest songs
Am7 /G
And he pictured all the places where he knew that she'd belong
F Bb B
But he failed and taught her young the only thing she'd need to carry on
NC
He taught her how to
E C#m G#m B
Run baby run baby run baby run baby run
E C#m G#m B
A7 C7
Past the arms of the familiar and their talk of better days
A7 C7 D B
To the comfort of the strangers, slipping out before they say "so long"
E
Baby loves to run
She counts out all her money in the taxi on the way to meet her plane
And stares hopeful out the window
at the workers fighting through the pouring rain
She's searching through the stations for an unfamiliar song
And she's thinking 'bout all the places where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile because she knows exactly how to carry on
So run baby run baby run baby run baby run

From the old familiar faces and their old familiar ways
To the comfort of the strangers, slipping out before they say "so long"
Baby loves to run
<Organ Solo> (Same chords as first half of verse)
She's searching through the stations for an unfamiliar song

And she pictures all the places where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile that shows she knows exactly how to carry on
So run baby run baby run baby run baby run (repeat to fade)
...........
I think there's actually two electric guitars on the recording, but they're
doing much the same thing as each other. During the verse, they're playing
something along these lines

LEAVING LAS VEGAS

G /A /B Csus2 G/B A7sus Dsus D

Life springs eternal on a gaudy neon street
I spent the best part of my losing streak in an Army Jeep
Oh I'm banging on my tv set and I check the odds and I, and I place my bet
I pour a drink and I pull the blinds - I wonder what I'll find
I'm leaving Las Vegas, the lights so bright

Palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good

I'm leaving Las Vegas, oh, the lights so bright

This song is a bit of a swine to transcribe - it doesn't involve any

difficult playing techniques, but it does involve a lot of guitars jumping
in and out of the mix. The following is an approximation of the main guitar
parts.
Guitar 1 plays the following riff twice for the introduction, and then four
times for the first verse.

So much for pretending, bad luck's never ending

SOLIDIFY
--------
Dm
Pouring in and around the great wellspring of simple feeling
And I need bearings in the face of your cool cool fire
Walking backwards with the pounding of your voice makes my soul tired
And concrete is as concrete doesn't - and voices can drown
G7
Why should I? Why should I? Why should I? Why should I?
Bb7 A7b9 G7
Solidify, make me real
Bb7 A7b9 Dm
So you can see me
I guess you thought I'd hide the sun from my liquid thoughts and make ice
for you
You thought I'd seed my clouds with the rain of your personal dreams
I guess you thought I'd throw confetti at your parade of lofty thoughts
I guess you thought I'd shine good morning in some good morning Jack -
surprise

So you can see me
<First two lines of third verse are spoken>

Pouring in and around the great wellspring of simple feeling
I need bearings in the face of your cool cool fire
Walking backwards with the pounding of your voice makes my soul tired
And concrete is as concrete doesn't - and voices can drown

So you can see me
Chords: Dm - x x x 10 10 10 G7 - xxx767
Bb7 - x x x 10 9 10 A7b9 - xxx688 or xx7688
...........
There are at least three guitars on the recording here (not counting the
spectacular bass-line). There are two electrics, one on each side, and some
acoustic stuff too. The left electric plays with the chords as shown above
in a suitably funky manner -
+ + + +
|------9/10-10-10-10----10----------10----9/10-|
|------9/10-10-10-10----10----------10----9/10-|
|------9/10-10-10-10----10----------10----9/10-| etc
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
(compression makes this sound well cool)
Meanwhile, the right electric plays this repeatedly -
+ + + + + + + +
|-------15-13-----------------|-------15-13-------------|
|-------------15--------13h15-|-------------15----------|
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|
When you get to the G7 chord , the two electrics keep on with what they're
doing, but an acoustic slide guitar does this -
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|/12----------|/12----------|/12----------|/12----------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
Then an acoustic guitar (I'm not sure whether or not it's the same one -
you could give the part to one or both of the electric guitars since they
drop out here) plays the chords in much the same way as the left guitar was
doing up to now -
+ + + +
|------10---10-10-------10----10-10---10-10----|
|------9----9--9--------9-----9--9----9--9-----|
|------10---10-10-------10----10-10---10-10----| etc
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
When you reach the Dm chord, the electrics go back to what they were doing,
and the acoustic plays
+ + + + + + + +
|-----10--10------------------|-----10--10------------------|
|/10----10--10----------------|/10----10--10----------------|
|-------------7--/10----------|-------------7--/10----------|
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
+ + + + + + + +
|-----10--10------------------|-----10--10------------------|
|/10----10--10----------------|/10----10--10----------------|
|-------------7--/10----9-----|-------------7--/10-9--7-----|
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
After the second verse, this becomes

THE NA-NA SONG

--------------
A
Video countdown cyber phallic optics
Profligate talk shows scrounging for a topic
Rock-a-buy gravy train cradle's gonna rock me
37 million's what Larry Parker got me
World War XIV, my first Sony
Beatles wrote the Nike song and called it macaroni
Billy Jean Burger King, chauvinist pig pen
U.S. Army only wants a few straight men
Na-na, na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na
Panaflex, Soloflex, Genuflect, Pope

What the world needs now is babies, gun and hope
Guardian angel dust in the wind cries Mary
Wanna be Madonna but the price is too high, very
Perfect rhythm Nazis in the pagan rhythm nation
Everybody's equal in the glow of radiation
Gotta four wheel drive and I park it in the driveway
When I get drunk I drive it on the parkway
Gotta get a TV set for my car
Tonight's the Battle of the Network Stars

Sanaflush Bud-Bowl makin' me sick

Cause anybody in a helmet looks just like a dick
Steely Dan, rather be hammer than a nail
The Serbs, the Poles, and the cheque's in the mail
Eat, sleep, live, die, @#$%ing record label
G Gordon Liddy under the table, table, table
Clarence Thomas organ grinder Frank Dileo's dong
Maybe if I let him I'd have had a hit song

(Repeat to fade)
...........
That's right, A the whole way through! - I always suspected that three
chord rock and roll was complicating things unnecessarily...
There's no guitar on this song at all, so just strum along.
However, I'm not too sure whether or not anybody in the States will have
this, but there was a free limited edition live CD released with the album
over here recorded at the BBC studios in London, which finishes with the
song "Volvo Cowgirl" - this is just The Na-na song with different chords
put to it. I'll transcribe it if anyone's interested...

NO ONE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY

----------------------------
A G F#m D
It's obvious the trouble we're in
When your father pulls up in a Mercedes Benz
He says he just happened to be in the neighbourhood
But before he leaves he slips the landlord the rent
You say, "It's just a question of eliminating obstacles"
As you throw your dinner out the kitchen door
You say, "I know how you try
A G F#m G* F#m
But, honey, let's eat out tonight"
D /E /F# A G F#m
No one said it would be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
No one thought we'd come this far
You can't seem to ever fold up a shirt

I bring it up and you think I'm a jerk
But I think we're here to stay
I can't imagine it any other way

But no one said it'd be this hard
F#m G A* Bm
Sometimes I wonder who he's picturing
Em
When he looks at me
G F#m
When he looks at me and smiles
<Guitar solo>
A G F#m D
A G F#m G

No one said it'd be this hard
Oh, and look, we've come this far
NB The guitars are tuned (low to high) DADGAE (ie drop the B and low E
strings down by a whole tone)
Chords: A - x02200 G - 555xxx F#m - 444xxx D - 000200 (or 000202)

Don't be scared off by the funny tuning - this song is dead easy to play -
beauty in simplicity.
There are three guitars on the recording - one electric and two acoustics.
Throughout the verses, the electric plays:

WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU

---------------------
|Am | |D | |F | |G | | x2
Am D
I'm so glad you're awake; that you're not like the others
F G
Cause they're so straight-laced and no fun
Gosh that's nice, that lingerie
Makes me feel like .. oh, I don't know
Am D/A Am
You're a very pretty thing - you remind me of someone
D/A
You must have heard some awful nasty things about me, but
F Am
What I can do for you there's no one else on God's green earth can do
F Am
D Em F
Just ask anybody, they'll tell you that it's true
G Em C G/B Am
There's no one else on earth can do the things that I can do for you
(For you, for you) x8 <Same chords as intro>
You're never gonna make it all by yourself

You're gonna need a friend, you're gonna need my help
I have so much to offer if you just be nice
If you do what I say and don't make me say it twice
Am D/A
Do you mind if I just rub my hand up, thus
Am D/A
Come on just my hand, come on just my hand.
Am D/A
You got to understand: I'm gonna be your man
Am D/A
I'm gonna be your man, you're gonna need me (I'm gonna be your man)
Am D/A
I'm gonna make you understand, yeah (I'm gonna be your man...)
Am D/A
I'm gonna be your man, gonna be, I'm gonna be your man (I'm gonna be ..)
Just ask anybody, they'll tell you that it's true
There's no one else on earth can do the things that I can do for you
(For you, for you) x lots
(There's no else on earth can do those things

that I can do, that I can do for you)
............
There is one guitar on the recording (probably a telecaster with a bit of
slapback echo for extra coolness) which comes in on the line "You're a very
pretty thing.." - I've only transcribed as far as the link into the second
verse because:
a - once you get the idea of what's going on, it's kind of fun to improvise
b - I'm lazy

It ain't no country club either

This is LA!

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
C D
says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos of nothing, he says his name is William,
but I'm sure he's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me and I wonder if he's
ever had a day of fun in his whole life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
in a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars on their lunch break
hosing and scrubbin as best they can in skirts in suits
A Bb6
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
A Bb6
Back to the phone company, the record store, too
A
Well they're nothing like Billy and me, cause
E C7 D
E C7 D
E C7 B7
All I wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning

And Billy likes to peel the labels from his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar then he lights every match in an oversized pack
letting each one burn down to his
thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out
and he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor
And a happy couple enters the bar

Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads
<Solo> (Same chords as verse)
Otherwise the bar is ours,

The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars
The sun and the moon, but
All I wanna
do is have some fun, I got a
feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna
feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna
feeling the party's just begun
All I wanna
do is have some fun, I won't
tell you that you're the only one

There are two guitars on the recording - one is an acoustic which strums the
chords as shown above (although outside the chorus all you can hear is
its picking noise) and the other is an electric which plays the funky intro
with wah-wah:
+ + + + + + + +

over the line "We are drinking beer on Tuesday.." and once over the line
"thick fingers before..".

But it's good to be alive, and these are the choices
We make to survive - you do what you can
................
Weird jazzy chord city! I've tried to transcribe an accurate representation

of most of the chords, but understand that most of the chords for the verse
would have been improvised over the vague guidelines of Am followed by E7.
Note that I have just called all the weird Am chords "Am", so they can be
played as Am-002210, 577555, or 007555; Asus2-002200; A7sus2-002000,
Amadd9-577500 or 007500; or Am7add9-575555 or 005500. I have, however, noted
a couple of especially weird ones - Am11-00543x and Am6 002212.
The E type chords are E7-020130, 020100(E'), 076750 or 076707(E*);
E7+9-07678x; and E7-9 - 07676x.
The chords for the chorus are Dm-xx0231 or x57765; A/C#-x42225 or x42255;
C-x32010; Bb9-5 (my favourite!)-010110; then E7' and Am as shown above.
There is a chord progression in the first two choruses (but not the last)
at the point marked with asterisks - goodness knows what the chords should
be called: A-x07655, ?-x07676, ?-x07565, ?-x05433.
The chords for the bridge ("Is this the end of..") go along these lines
|-------|-------|-------|-0--0--|-------|-------|-4-----|-5--5--|
|-6-----|-5--5--|-3--0--|-3--1--|-6-----|-5--5--|-3-----|-5--5--|

Open the door and show me your face tonight

I know it's true, no one heals me like you
And you hold the key
Never again would I turn away from you

I'm so heavy tonight, but your love is alright
And I do believe

And I shall believe, I shall believe
And I shall believe

And I shall believe, I shall believe
I shall believe, I shall believe
I shall believe, and I shall believe
C#m B A (hold)
Please say honestly you won't give up on me...
And I shall believe. (x15)

Another song that demonstrates the power of underplaying.

One acoustic guitar does this -
+ + + + + +
|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------| (repeat ad infinitum)
|-4---4-2-----|-4---4-2-----|
|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|
throughout. One electric with its tone control turned down does this -
(-------------Intro-------------)
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|

|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-------|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-0-----|
|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-------|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-------|
(etc) throughout with plam muting - follow the chords, obviously. The only
variation in this is on the F# chord in the chorus -
+ + + + + + + + + + + +
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-2-----|-------|
|-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-|-0-----|-------|
|-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-|-------|-------|
There is also another part which I think is a guitar, but a pretty strange
sounding one. I suspect that it must be using a volume pedal or else some
kind of sustaining device like an E-bow, a Fernandes sustainer pickup or
good old fashioned compression. Once again, it's wonderfully underplayed,
so tabbing it out completely would be pointless.

BETTER BE HOME SOON (N.Finn)
C Am Em7 G
Somewhere deep inside, something's got a hold on you
C Am Em7
And it's pushing me aside, see it stretch on forever
C C7 F
And I know I'm right, for the first time in my life.
G C
That's why I tell you, you'd better be home soon.
Bflat D G
Don't say no, don't say nothing's wrong

'Cause when you get back home maybe I'll be gone.

Can't Carry On
(N. Finn)
NOTE:
-- Another of these songs where, although I've given chords, what Neil
Finn is playing guitar-wise is a chord with different, little fills in
between the lyric lines.
Bm
Why do I kid myself
Why do I scream for pleasure

Em F# Bm
It's four in the morning should know better
But she can weave a spell
Want it to last forever

Em F# Bm
Making me feel like somebody special
CHORUS
A F# G A
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
F# G A
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
F# G A
Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)
F
Well here we go again
Though I look everywhere

I never seem to find it
Always a shadow around a corner
Drown it in alcohol
Stuck in the elevator
Hard to remember in the morning
Chorus
Tell you about myself

If you're in the mood to listen
Baby you don't know who you're kissing
This is a lonely world
You are a strange companion
When you get what you wanted
You want to leave
A F# G A
Honestly I want to free myself
F# G A
From the burden of inaction
F# G A
Honestly I want to raise myself
F# G A
To any plane I can imagine

B E B

Before it gets too late

Don't Dream It's Over
(N. Finn)
NOTES:
-- Neil's guitar is tuned down one half-step for this song. If

you're going to try and play along, you'll have to do the same.
-- For all you bar chord haters, this is one song you won't like. Every
chord is a bar chord. of course, you don't -have- to play it that way.
the first chord is on the 7th fret, second is on the 4th, etc. if you
are having any difficulties with these chords, contact me (marck@nwu.edu).
INTRO: E(9)* E9* E7sus*
E(9) C#(9)*
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
A G#
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
E(9) C#(9)
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
A
But you'll never see the end of the road
G#
While you're traveling with me
CHORUS
A B
Hey now, hey now
E(9) C#(9)
Don't dream it's over
A B
Hey now, hey now
E(9) C#(9)
When the world comes in
A B
They come, they come
E(9) C#(9)
To build a wall between us
A B
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hole in the River

(N. Finn/ E. Rayner)
NOTES:
-- For the intro, if you sit on an Em chord on the 7th fret (X79987),
you can find your way around the main melody line of the keyboard that
Eddie Rayner is playing. (The guitar part at that point is just doing
that damped string/percussive thing, so when playing it alone on an
acoustic, it helps to play around on the Em.)
-- The psychedelic instrumental break is composed entirely on C#m (a

last-minute idea from Nick Seymour that saved this song from being
scrapped.) All the fun stuff is going on in the keyboards, while the
guitar just sits on that one chord. I would suggest creating a guitar
solo for this section (which is what Neil does when it's performed
live).
INTRO: Keyboard doodling around Em
C D A Em
There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies

She was coming to see him but something changed her mind
Drove her down to the river
There is no return

try to avoid strumming it.

I Walk Away
(N. Finn)
NOTES:
-- the opening of this song and the verses use a lot of limited picking
of just a few strings. the best thing to do is check out the "unusual
chords" at the end of this file and, when playing, only pick the strings
that you're actually fingering.

As I walk away from you

Hurled from my home

Into the unknown
Bm A D Bm A
Reveal whatever you desire

To you it may be death defying
Black day
In the coldness of winter
Black words
Slipping off my tongue
I say forget it--it's over
As a dark cloud covered up the sun
It's hard to let go

Of all that we know
The sun always sets
With room for regrets

Give it to me

Give it to me

Your inspiration

Give to receive

Find all we need

As I walk away

Into Temptation
(N. Finn)
-- the reason the acoustic guitar part on the verses in this song is so
wonderful is because Neil limits the number of strings he plays to only
a few. since this is so key, i've included *all* the chords for the
verses at the end. take special note to which strings should not be
played at all (X).

Love You 'Til the Day I Die

(N. Finn)
NOTES:
-- Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex. I

was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed
on two chords. However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks
and "side chords" in between to make things interesting. (for exam-
ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this: X7978[10].) I would
suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.
-- The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky

in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti-
fully.
INTRO: B7* Em* B7 Em B7 Em
B7
There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
Em
That never see the light of day
B7
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
Em
Just to see the look that's on your face
B7
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
Em
So forgive me if I tell a lie
B7
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
Em
I will love you till the day I die
[*** NOTE: See below for guitar tab for this chorus]
Em G F#m A Em G F#m A
I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax

I'm talking to myself you're coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts

Em B*
Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain
G/B* G(11)/B*
All makes me glad of you
C B C Em G F#m A
Though I am far away I am always with you
Em G F#m A
Know the answer before you know the question
Em
Pull yourself together, baby, push with all your might

I'm all alone, always alone

Mansion in the Slums

(N. Finn)
NOTE:
-- The main guitar riff in this song focuses mainly on the top four strings
on your guitar (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th). focus on just playing those strings
most of the way through, and minimize the use of the two highest strings.
INTRO:

Had a blind date with destiny

Had a truly sacred ring

Now her parents are divorced

I could not escape

A plea from the heart

You know what it means to me

She said don't walk away
A
I'm down on my knees
D B
So please don't be mean to me
So I talked to you for an hour

In the bar of a small town hotel
You asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T.V.
To stop us from getting lonely
I could not escape

No, I could not escape
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn't wait for a chance
To walk out the door

I saw you lying in the arms of a poet

I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies (about me)

You're down on the floor

Sister Madly
(N. Finn)
NOTES:
-- to play this the way it was originally played, all chords on the
verses are bar chords: Em on the 7th fret, A on the 5th fret, and
C on the 8th fret.
-- in the tab of the Richard Thompson solo, the notation "11^" means to
play the 11th fret but bend the note up (not necessarily all the way up
to the tone of the 12th fret--just a quick, ornamental bend. you know,
Thompson is famous for this kind of thing.)

Beware the passenger

Chocolate Cake - Crowded House
Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
But it went by me sickly and sentimental
Can I have another piece of Chocolate Cake

Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
The band of the night takes you to ethereal heights over dinner
You wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek
And the sugar that dripped from the violins bow
Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag

Tammy Baker must be losing her faith
And the dogs are on the road
We're all tempting fate
Cars are shooting by
With no number plates
And here comes Mrs. Hairy Legs
Instrumental (don't play chorus)
I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven

And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257
The excess of fat on your American bones
Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone

Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker
Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake
Kathy Straker, boy could she lose some weight
Can I buy another slice of real estate
Liberace must be laughing in his grave

Intro: D G D G D G D G

Tell me all the things you would change

I don't pretend to know what you want
Bm E
When you come around and (spin my top??)
G F#
Time and again, time and again

No fire where I lit my spark

I am not afraid of the dark

Where your words devour my heart

And put me to shame, put me to shame
Chorus:
A Em
Your seven worlds collide
G A D
Whenever I am by your side
A Em
Dust from a distant sun
G A D G D G
Will shower over everyone
You're still so young to travel so far

Old enough to know who you are
Wise enough to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no-one to blame
It's easy to forget what you learnt

Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
And drawn to the flame
<Chorus>

G A
Bm A G A Bm
And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood
A G A
Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above
Bm A G
I don't pretend to know what you want

But (I offer love?)

Seven worlds will collide

Whenever I am by your side

Subject: CRD/LYR: Don't dream it's over - Crowded House
Someone asked for Crowded House songs. This is all I have at the
moment.
As with some songs I posted earlier, I know this song best from a CD
series of a Dutch radioshow, in which artist perform 'unplugged' (this
show is older than the MTV shows though).
The thing with the song in that version (CD: 2 Meter sessies, vol.2,
Radio Records 845 834-2) is the Dadd2 chord. It's very easy though,
and gives the song the 'special sound'.
Dadd2

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now
Don't ever let them win

Hole in the River
(N. Finn/ E. Rayner)
NOTES:
-- For the intro, if you sit on an Em chord on the 7th fret (X79987),
you can find your way around the main melody line of the keyboard that
Eddie Rayner is playing. (The guitar part at that point is just doing
that damped string/percussive thing, so when playing it alone on an
acoustic, it helps to play around on the Em.)
-- The psychedelic instrumental break is composed entirely on C#m (a

last-minute idea from Nick Seymour that saved this song from being
scrapped.) All the fun stuff is going on in the keyboards, while the
guitar just sits on that one chord. I would suggest creating a guitar
solo for this section (which is what Neil does when it's performed
live).
INTRO: Keyboard doodling around Em

Miles above the mountains and plains

Free at last
We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I

The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all
She was coming to see him but something changed her mind
Drove her down to the river
There is no return

I Walk Away - Crowded House
You came out of the world to me my life parted like the red sea
We float easy between the rocks and stones never seemed to stop us
The years ended in confusion don't ask me I don't know what happened
(I don't know what happened)
But I am a man with a mission must be the devil I don't know?
Find'ing marching to a different tune

Its hard to let go all that we know
I'm herled from my home to the unknown
You feel what ever you desire to you it may be death defying
That day in the coldness of winter like words slipping off my tongue
I say forget it it's over cause there's a dark cloud covering up the sun
You know that its
Its hard to let go all that we know

The sun always sets no room for regrets
Give it to me give it to me your inspiration
Get to me see find all we need as I walk away...
as I walk away...
Bass Solo
I'm just the same to inhibition can't shed your permanent condition
So much you've always wanted too much giving you a sore head
I walk away as I walk away from you

as I walk away from you...
ad lib ending
I hope this helps - from S.Grant@massey.ac.nz

Into Temptation
(N. Finn)
-- the reason the acoustic guitar part on the verses in this song is so
wonderful is because Neil limits the number of strings he plays to only
a few. since this is so key, i've included *all* the chords for the
verses at the end. take special note to which strings should not be
played at all (X).

the riff, only got the bit below, since it took me a few seconds to punch
the recorder....... Listen to it for the timimg.

Love You 'Til the Day I Die
(N. Finn)
NOTES:
-- Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex. I

was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed
on two chords. However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks
and "side chords" in between to make things interesting. (for exam-
ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this: X7978[10].) I would
suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.
-- The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky

in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti-
fully.
INTRO: B7* Em* B7 Em B7 Em
B7
There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
Em
That never see the light of day

I want to drag them out, go for a walk
Em
Just to see the look that's on your face

I'm talking to myself you're coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts

Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain
G/B* G(11)/B*
All makes me glad of you

Though I am far away I am always with you

Mansion in the Slums
(N. Finn)
NOTE:
-- The main guitar riff in this song focuses mainly on the top four strings
on your guitar (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th). focus on just playing those strings
most of the way through, and minimize the use of the two highest strings.

So I talked to you for an hour

In the bar of a small town hotel
You asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T.V.
To stop us from getting lonely
I could not escape

No, I could not escape
Mysterious sympathy

I saw you lying in the arms of a poet

I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies (about me)

I could not escape

You're down on the floor
Mean ...
In the arms of a poet

NAILS IN MY FEET
(Neil Finn)
As performed by Crowded House on the album "Together Alone"
*Capo 3rd fret
Am
My life is a house
Bdim
you crawl through the window
E Am
slip across the floor and into the reception room
Am Bdim
you enter the place of endless persuasion
E
like a knock on the door
Am
when there's ten or more things to do
C F Em G
Who is that calling?
C F Em G
you my companion
C F E
run to the water on a burning beach
Am E
and it brings me relief
Pass through the walls

to find my intentions
circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no connection
a million points of light
and a conversation I can't face
Cast me off one day

to lose my inhibition
sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
Am E Am E
wear the nails on your feet
<The chord progression over the solo is: Am E>
I woke up the house

stumbled in sideways
the lights went on and everybody screamed "Surprise!"
the savage review
it left me gasping
but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too
Total surrender
your touch is so tender
C F G
your skin is like water on a burning beach
C F Em G
and it brings me relief
C F G
Like a night in your mind
it brings me relief
in the back door

under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
in the back room
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
Bdim x2343x
(I actually prefer Bm7b5 because it's easier to finger: x2323x)
The C F Em G progression on the chorus can be substituted with

C C/F C/E G for an interesting-sounding variation.
C/F 132010 (just an open C with F as the root)

C/E 032010 (likewise, you include the low E)

In a world without end
We owe it all to Frank Sinatra

The song was playing as she walked into the room
After the long weekend
They were a lifetime together
Appearing in the eyes of children
In the clear blue mountain view
Colouring the sky
And painting ladders to heaven

(N. Finn)
NOTES:
-- to play this the way it was originally played, all chords on the
verses are bar chords: Em on the 7th fret, A on the 5th fret, and
C on the 8th fret.
-- in the tab of the Richard Thompson solo, the notation "11^" means to
play the 11th fret but bend the note up (not necessarily all the way up
to the tone of the 12th fret--just a quick, ornamental bend. you know,
Thompson is famous for this kind of thing.)

I've been trying to get Weather With You (Crowded House) right for ages. It's
at Nevada and also at a Crowded House site somewhere (I forget where), but
neither version seems correct to me.
Here's what I play (based on the album version and on an acoustic version I
heard on the radio a few months ago - which is where I heard the Em7-Asus4
clearly for the first time).
Does anybody have any helpful corrections or advice, especially with the
transition to the chorus which never sounds right whatever I try?

Weather With You

Now it's the same room but everything's different

and the Roman Empire
Dm C F G
Couldn't conquer the blue sky
Em7 Asus4 Em7 Asus4
Em7 Asus4
There's a small boat made of china
Em7 Asus4
Going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Em7 Asus4
Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Em7 Asus4 A7sus4
Or do I sing like a bird released?
A7sus4 D
Everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you
A7sus4 D

Here comes Weather With You by Crowded House.
I have tried to pick the chords from the record, but I'm not sure
if they're right.
Comments would be appriciated.
THE WEATHER WITH YOU
Intro : Em Am
And the guitar goes something like this, I believe.......

--00000-0-0-2-3---00000-0-0-2-3---00000-0-0-2-3---0-----
---------------------------------------------------3-2-0
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
repeat until KeyPressed..........
Em A
Walking round the room singing stormy weather
Em A
at 57 mt Pleasant street
Em A
well it's the same room but everything's different
Em A
you can fight the sleep but not the dream
Dm C Dm C
Things ain't cooking in my kitchen
Dm C F
strange affliction wash over me
Dm C Dm C Dm C F
Julius ceasar and the roman empire couldn't conquer the blue sky
Now there's a G major chord, an then back to INTRO.

Then over to 2nd verse.
Em A
There's a small boat made of china
Em A
it's going nowhere on a mantelpiece
Em A
well do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
or do I sing like a bird released
At the ene of the verse something strange happens. I can't figure the chords.
If anyone does, please mail me !
Anyway, let's move on to the refrain :
A (G) D (I'm not sure 'bout the G chord)

Everywhere you go always take the weather with you
A (G) D
Everywhere you go always take the weather
A (G) D
Everywhere you go always take the weather with you
A G
A Em (and we're back on INTRO)
The weather with you
Then, at the end of the song, they go something like :

A G
F#m G A
Take the weather - the weather with you
As stated, I'm not quite sure of all this. Therefore, feel free to tell me
about any mistakes I may have made. Thanks.

After All This Time
By Randy Crowell
C |
C | | |
There were trains And we out-run èm.
c, b, Am | |
There were songs And we out-sung èm.
a, g, F | G | C | G
There were brigh...ter days never ending
a, b, C | |
There was time And we were burnin'
c, b, Am | |
There were rhymes And we were learnin'
a, g, F | G | C | | |
There was all... the love two hearts could hold
F | | | Em | | |
And after all this time... You're always on my mind
F | Dm |
Hey I could never let it end `Cause my heart takes so long to mend
G F Dm G
The dream that keeps your hopes alive The lonely nights you hold inside
F | G |
And after all this time You're always on my mind
G C | |
I still want you
C | | |
There was rain That we outlasted
c, b, Am | |
There was pain But we go past it
a, g, F | G | C | G
There were last... good-byes... still left unspoken
a, b, C | |
There were ways... I should have thrilled you
c, b, Am | |
There were days... when I could have killed you
a, g, F | G | C | | |
Your're the only... love... my life has known
F | | | Em | | |
And after all this time... Your're always on my mind
F | Dm |
Hey I could never let you go A broken heart that heals so slow
G F Dm G
Could never beat for someone new While you're alive and I am too
F | G |
And after all this time You're always on my mind
G C | |
I still miss you
(Instrumental)
F | Dm |
And I could never let it in 'Cause my heart takes so long to mend
G F Dm G
The dream that keeps your hopes alive The lonely nights you hold inside
F | G |
And after all this time Your're always on my mind
G C | |
I still want you
F | G |
Hey after all this time Your're always on my mind
G C | |
I still love you.

Notes
------
The intro riff is based on a blues shuffle pattern in the key of D.

It is also used in the 'break', twice in the guitar solo, snippets
of it are used in the overdubs.
In the verses, guitar 2 plays powerchords. The D5 powerchords fall

within beat 2 for each bar, and F5 and C5 fall on beats 1 and 3,
respectively. Guitar 1 is used to add overdubs - based on the intro
riff. Verse 1 is 11 bars, and verse 2 is 14 bars long.
Both choruses are the same. Guitar 1 plays chords in the first position
and portions of the intro riff, the chords should be raked slightly.
Guitar 2 plays the usual D5 backing. The outro is also very similar to
the choruses.
In the guitar solo there are 3 guitars. Guitar 1 plays the actual solo,
guitar 2 plays the backing rhythm, and guitar 3 plays the intro riff.
The guitar solo begins in the key of A. Guitar 1 plays a single-string

version of the intro riff, transposed to the key of A, for 2 bars. The
solo then uses A-minor pentatonic, up to bar 9. At this point the it
modulates back to the key of D, using D-minor pentatonic. Bars 9 and 10
use notes common to A-minor and D-minor pentatonic.
Technically, it isn't very difficult solo - so long as you have a basic
mastery of rock guitar techniques such as slides and bends - and a bit
of fluency to go with it.
The record has been mixed in a way that makes the parts easy to hear.
Guitar 1 is mixed onto the left stereo channel (with a distant echo in
the right). The basic backing track for the verses and chorus, played by
guitar 2, is mixed onto the right channel.

*All chords are power chords A5, D5, etc. but are indicated A, D, etc*
I got lazy and didn't feel like typing in all the chords, so when you see the
indication at the end of the line "E C" that's the place where it plays
E5 & C5 chords. This is the basic rhythm: A / D / A / D (hold)
Then when there's an E C at the end of the line it plays:
A / D / A / D h E C. Each of the slashes or letters represent a beat. The
"h" means hold it the duration of a beat.

Tabbing this would have been a lot easier if I'd had my friends' video
with a zoom and slow motion!
SHE SELLS SANCTUARY

===================
The Cult
Tune your guitar up a semitone (seems a common feature of goth songs!)

I can't get their tone on my setup, but it helps to use the front two pickups
and turn the treble right down on the amp.
I have a suspicion the song is based on some species of sliding Em scale,

which means there could be better ways of fingering a lot of the notes
or putting in slides in different places. You'll just have to work out what
sounds good/is easy to play yourself! For the time being I'll put brackets
round notes when I'm not sure where they're played, or if they're not always
played every time, or if I can't tell which is played!

On the beats marked with an asterisk someone strums an F chord on an accoustic

with lovely new strings!
Towards the end of the song the riff is played again with the alternative
ending.
Verse 1 (touch the sun etc)

Sounds like someone's playing a palm-muted F power chord in the verses and
strumming different strings, kind of like

She Sells Sanctuary

the Cult, from _Love_
trascription by pat@jaameri.gsfc.nasa.gov (Patrick M. Ryan)
Notes:
Most of the rhythm in this tune is just chugging along
on 2 or 3 strings. The palm is muffling the strings at the
bridge for that percussive sound. For the purposes of
this song, a comma (,) above the staff indicates one chug.
[ Note the use of precise musical terminology. ]
The Cult's guitarist likes the "big guitar" sound. He
plays this on some kind of big hollow-body, like a Howard Roberts
or a Gretsch.

You'll have to figure out the solo yourself, although it

seems to be just moderate picking with a load of bends
thrown in here and there and probably a few harmonics for
good measure as well. I'll figure it out when I get the
time and if I actually think it's worthwhile. Proably
better off making your own - shouldn't be too hard to
come up with something similar.

Play verse 4 times (verse 1)
Play chorus 2 times
Play intro 4 times (prelude to verse 2)
Play verse 4 times (verse 2)
Play chorus 4 times
Play solo
Play intro 7 times and then one more B chord
as the drums come to a stop.
Play outro 6 times and then a B chord to finish off.
This is the basics, there's some chord holding as well of
the E and A5 in the verse and chorus. Just listen to the
CD to hear when they come.

Cuong Nguyen. Please post everything I have written below

Here's a song I figured out by the Cuong Nguyen. It's
"Generic Plush" from the album "F.O.B." This is how the main
part of the song goes. I have posted the lyrics above it to
help with the timing.

Here, I won't vouch for the timing on the second (7), and I can't
be bothered working it out fully. btw, the ()'s me harmonic.

Back to the intro, with bass, and guitar on harmonics.
For the solo, the bit during the Am - G is:
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
b -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
g -|--------7^^---7--5--------|--7-----5-----------------|-
d -|--------------------------|-----------7-----5--7-----|-
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

repeat 2 times.
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
b -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
g -|--------7^^------7--------|--5--------4--------------|-
d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
Then with the F - Em bit, just go a little crazy, with lots

of heavy overdrive, and lots of use of the whammy bar.
The bass solo is this;
g -|--------7--------9--------|--10-------9--------10----|-
d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |

d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^
repeat.
Then the harmonics return, but like this:
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
b -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
g -|--------------------------|-(7)---------------(7)----|-
d -|-------(12)-----(7)-------|----------(7)-------------|-
a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-
| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
repeat, then end, with the bass doing a volume swell on a D.

Here's how the structure of the song is with all the rhythm
figures put together:
Rhy. fig. 1: 10x

Rhy. fig. 2: 1x
Rhy. fig. 1: 8x
Rhy. fig. 2: 1x
Rhy. fig. 1: 8x
Rhy. fig. 2: 1x
Rhy. fig. 1: 4x
Rhy. fig. 3: 4x
Rhy. fig. 4: 7x
Rhy. fig. 5: 1x
This is the entire b-tab to "A Forest." The the two C's
beginning rhythm figure 2 two are kind of subtle and act as
a change to the chorus. I hope this is one of the most
thourough and accurate bass tabs you've ever seen. Please
send comments or suggestions to Caley Barker at:
zdhx41a@prodigy.com
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Be sure to check

out my bass transcription of "Faith" as well!

I'm not sure as to the correctness of my notes, and I haven't
sat down to figure out the solo, but this is the main part
The bassline is just the same 4 chords..
A C F D
just the first two strings (E and A)...
the opening is like:

Come closer and see I hear her voice Suddenly I stop

See into the trees Calling my name But I know its too late
Find the girl The sound is deep Im los in a forest
While you can In the dark All alone
Come closer and see I hear her voice The girl was never there
See into the dark And start to run Its always the same
Just follow your eyes Into the trees Im running towards nothing
Just follow your eyes Into the trees Again and again and again...

A Letter to Elise
-----------------
A E
oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
Bm
I just can't stay here every yesterday
D
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out

A
every way to smile
forget
E
and make-believe we never needed
Bm
any more than this
D
any more than this
A E
oh elise it doesn't matter what you do
Bm
I know i'll never really get inside of you
D
to make your eyes catch fire
the way they should

A
the way the blue could pull me in
E
if they only would
if they only would

Bm D
at least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
that hides away

A
from me and you
there're worlds to part

E
with aching looks and breaking hearts
Bm
and all the prayers your hands can make
D
oh I just take as much as you can throw
A
and then I throw it all away
E
oh I throw it all away
Bm
like throwing faces at the sky
D
like throwing arms around
E
yesterday
I stood and stared

F#m
wide-eyed in front of you
E
and the face I saw looked back
F#m
the way I wanted to
E
but I just can't hold my tears away
F#m
the way you do
G F#m
elise believe I never wanted this
G F#m
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
G F#m
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
Bm
but I let the dream go
D
and the promises broke
A
and the make-believe ran out...
A
so elise
E
it doesn't matter what you say
Bm
D
the way we act out

A
every way to smile
forget
E
Bm
any more than this
D
any more than this
A E
and every time I try to pick it up
like falling sand

Bm
as fast as I pick it up
D
it runs away through my clutching hands
A
and there's nothing else I can really do
E
there's nothing else I can really do
Bm
D
at all...

the tab for this more intricate than it looks song from the book. The bass and
xylophone sound parts are also from the book. I will also be sending this to

Play all four patterns twice through; on the end of the second begin the
vocals ("Oh Elise it doesn't matter...")

Repeat these, then do the four intro patterns again twice through; then do
the second verse with only the second bass part. Go straight into the third
verse ("From me and you..."), adding the intro electric pattern on top.

I haven't played A Strange Day in a long while but I sort of remember

it this way:
A B G
Give me your eyes that I can see
A B G
The blind man kissing my hands
..
F G
And the sand and the sea glows I close my eyes
F G
Move slowly through drowning waves
A B
Going away on a strange day
E F
My head falls back and the walls crashed in
G A
And the sky and the impossible explodes
B C
And for one moment I remember a song
D
An expression of sounds
E
And the everything is gone forever
That's about what I remember, Robert's lead is very easily played on

the 2 thinest strings I could post the notes if you can't figure it
out.
Let me know how it goes.

Here's this solo, hope I can make the notation clear.
The different lines are the different strings of your guitar starting
with the thinnest up and going down to the thickest. The numbers are
the fret you have to hold.
And then everything is gone forever ...
1 - 3 1 0 3 1 0 0 1 3 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 3 1
2 - 3 3 3 1 0 1 3 3 1 0 1 0
3 - 2 0
4 -
5 -
6 -
So it starts on the thinnest string with G-F-E and then on the next
string with D, back to the thin string with G-F-E and so on ...
Also during the "My head falls back ..." verse, the lead guitar plays
E-F-G-A-B-C-D-E-F on the thinnest string.
Let me know if I'm clear?
Also, has any one else played something I posted, how did it go?

I haven't played A Strange Day in a long while but I sort of remember

it this way:
A B G
Give me your eyes that I can see
A B G
The blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming

My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
..

And the sand and the sea glows I close my eyes
F G
Move slowly through drowning waves
A B
Going away on a strange day
And I laugh as I drift in the wind

Blind
Dancing on a beach of stone
Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
A sudden hush across the water
And we're here again
E F
My head falls back and the walls crashed in
G A
And the sky and the impossible explodes
B C
And for one moment I remember a song

Subject: All Cats Are Grey by The Cure
all cats are grey

by robert smith, simon gallup, and laurence tolhurst
i am too paranoid to transcribe the keyboard chords to this song because i

am not too sure if they are keyboard chords, so instead i will do the
simple bass line. i think the keyboard plays the bass line (of course
with long gloom), but i am just not too sure about that. i do not know.
so without futher adieu here is the bass tab for that it.
this is the basic verse:
G -4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---------------------------------
D ---------------------------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
A -----------------------------------------------------------------
E -----------------------------------------------------------------
the alternate part (or chorus is)
G -----------------------------------------------------------------
D -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-
A -----------------------------------------------------------------
E -----------------------------------------------------------------
(after this part the bass plays:
G -----------------
D -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
A -----------------
E -----------------
this goes on I think four times after the chorus. it also goes on forever
at the end of the song, then finishes for that grand piano ending.
the lyrics, i assume are:
i never thought that i would find myself

dead amongst the stars
the colours are all red
begging to crush me
no shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
and no flags wave me home
in the caves
all cats are grey
in the caves
the textures coat my skin
in the death cell
a single note
rings on and on and on
(i really am not sure about those lyrics, so it may be left open to
interpretations. bye-bye for now).

Apart-The Cure
Main riff:
(with flanger and slow echo)
(let ring for another measure)
E-------------------------------|
B-------------------------------|
G-----------2---0h2-------------|
D-------------------------------|
A-------0-----------------------|
E---5---------------------------|
Repeat this constantly (i.e., every other measure)
Synth line adapted for guitar:
One measure each of a swell on the following chords:

Am--221-
G --000-
Dm--323-
Am (same)
then this riff

B----5---5---5---6---------5--|-------3-------5--------3------|
B-------------3------5--------|-------------------------------|
G----5------------------------|--------5----------------------|
At the end of the first verse play the following fill (mixed low)
Dm---312 (four measures)

(strum pattern is easy enough to figure out; precision isn't important here
anyway. Vary it a bit by not sounding all three notes; also, in the fourth
measure play a slide up to the 5th fret of the high E string)
Repeat, but play this for fourth measure:
E (high)------3/5---5-----5-----5
In second verse, play this fill at the line "He waits to hear her say 'forget'"
(let ring throughout)

E----------0---------------|------------3------------|
B----3--------3------3-----|------3--------3-----3---|
G-2-----2---------2-----2--|--0------0--------0----0-|
Then repeat first measure twice. Repeat.
Play this fill underneath chorus

(you do not play the main riff here)
(Second measure of fill above), then:
(let ring throughout)

E-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-0----|------0---------0-------0--------|
B-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3----|---------0----------------0------|

(Repeat last measure of above)
(Repeat the whole thing)

THE CURE - Burn
"Don't look, don't look", the shadows breathe,

Whispering me away from you,
"Don't wake an eye to watch her sleep,
And know that you will always sleep."
This trembling drone, *

Dazzled burn like gold *
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I call your name,
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I fall again.
"Don't talk of love", the shadows burn,
Murmuring me away from you,
"Don't talk of worlds that never were:
An end is all that's ever true.
There's nothing you can ever say;
There's nothing you can ever do."
Still, everynight I burn,

Everynight I scream your name,
Everynight I burn,
Evernight the dream's the same.
Everynight I burn,
Waiting for my only friend,
Enerynight I burn,
Waiting for the world to end.
"Just paint your face", the shadows smile,

Slipping me away from you,
"It doesn't matter how you hide,
We'll find you if we're wanting to.
So slide back down and close your eyes,
Sleep awhile you must be tired."
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I call your name,
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I fall again.
Everynight I burn,
And scream the animal scream,
Everynight I burn,
And dream the crow-black dream,
Everynight I burn,
And scream the animal scream,
Everynight I burn,
And dream the crow-black dream,

[D](Intro) [D4+] [A] [D] [D4+] [A]
Yes I [D]know who you re[A]mind me of, a [D]girl I think I used to [A]know
Yes I'd [D]see her when the day got [A]colder, on those [D]days when it felt like [A]snow
You [D]know I even think that she [A]stared like you, she [D]used to just stand there and [A]stare
And [D]roll her eyes right up to hea[A]ven and [D]make like I just wasn't [A]there
[G]And she used to fall [A]down a lot

That [G]girl was always falling a[A]gain and again
And I [D]used to sometimes try to [A]catch her
But I [D]never even caught her [A]name

And [D]sometimes we would spend the [A]night just [D]rolling about on the [A]floor
And I re[D]member even though it felt [A]soft at the time, I [D]always used to wake up [A]sore
You [D]know I even think that she [A]smiled like you, she [D]used to just stand there and [A]smile
And her [D]eyes would go all sort of [A]far away and [D]stay like that for quite a [A]while
And I re[G]member she used to fall [A]down a lot

That [G]girl was always falling a[A]gain and again
And I [D]used to sometimes try to [A]catch her
Yes I [D]sometimes even tried to [A]catch her

Subject: COLD by The Cure
Cold
(words by Robert Smith, music by Simon Gallup, Laurence Tolhurst, and
Robert Smith)
This gloomy song comes off of the angry and gloomy cure album -Pornography-
and never lets up for air. I am not too sure about what is playing that
line, a distorted bass, guitar, or keyboard but I have comprised it to be
like this:
I play this usual, meaning I tune my low E-string down to C. The intro
is:
E --------------------
B --------------------
G --------------------
D -----------4--------
A -1---3--4------4--3-
C --------------------
After this, the drum enters, and the bass (or guitar) goes like this (as
if played on a guitar with its low string tuned to C):
E -------------------------------
B -------------------------------
G -------------------------------
D -------------------------------
A -------------------------------
C -10---------8--5--6-------0--1-
This line continues out throughout the song. The chords are simple, they
are just Bbm to Gb and I play them like this:
Bbm Gb
E -xx---------------6------------
B -11---------------7------------
G -10---------------6------------
D -11---------------x------------
A -xx---------------x------------
C -10---------8--5--6-------0--1-
That is basically how the song goes. The lyrics are:
Scarred
Your back was turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
I was cold as I mouthed the words
And crawled across the mirror
I wait
Await the next breath
Your name
Like ice into my heart
A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice do not move
Screaming at the moon
Another past time
Your name
Everything as cold as life

Can no one save you?
Everything
As cold as silence
And you never say a word
Your name
Your name

There's no way I could get any Cure bootlegs unless some kind soul
out there in NetLand wants to sell me a tape copy. Write to me!

plainsong
A D A
"i think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said
D
"and the wind is blowing like it's the end of the
A D
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
E D A
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for a second
"i think i'm old and i'm feeling pain" you said
"and it's all running out like it's the end of the
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for a second
sometimes you make me feel like i'm living at

the edge of the world like i'm living at the edge
of the world "it's just the way i smile" you said
*************************************************************************
pictures of you
A D
i've been looking so long at these pictures of you
that i almost believe that they're real
i've been living so long with my pictures of you
that i almost believe that the pictures are all i can feel
remembering you standing quiet in the rain

as i ran to your heart to be near
and we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close
how i always held close in your fear
remembering you, running soft through the night
you were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
and screamed at the make-believe screamed at the sky
and you finally found all your courage to let it all go
remembering you fallen into my arms, crying for the death of your heart
you were stone white so delicate lost in the cold
you were always so lost in the dark
remembering you how you used to be
slow drowned you were angles so much more than everything
oh hold for the last time then slip away quietly
open my eyes but i never see anything
E D
if only i'd thought of the right words
E D
i could have held onto your heart
E D
if only i'd thought of the right words
E Bm7 A
i wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
looking so long at these pictures of you

but i never held onto your heart
looking so long for the words to be true
but always just breaking apart my pictures of you
Bridge: A Bm7 A/C# D A/C# D A/E D/F#
A
there was nothing in the world
Bm7 A/C# D
that i ever wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart
A/C#
there was nothing in the world
D A/E
that i ever wanted more that to never feel the breaking
D/F# D
apart all my pictures of you
*************************************************************************
closedown
I'm running out of time I'm out of step and

closing down and never sleep for wanting hours
the empty hours of greed and uselessly always
the need to feel again the real belief of
something more than mockery if only I could
fill my heart with love
*************************************************************************
love song
Am G F Em
Whenever I'm alone with you
Am G F Em
You make me feel like I am home again
Am G F Em
Am G F Em
You make me feel like I am whole again
whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel

like i am young again whenever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am fun again
F G Am C
However far away I will always love you
F G Am C
However long I stay I will always love you
F G Am C
Whatever words I say I will always love you
F G
whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel

like i am free again whenever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am clean again
however far away i will always love you

however long i stay i will always love you
whatever words i say i will always love you
i will always love you

lullaby(crd)
C#m
on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
A
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
C#m (etc..)
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly! a movement in the corner of the room!
and there is nothing i can do when i realise with fright
that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps

closer now closer to the foot of the bed and
softer than shadow and quicker than flies his
arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
don't struggle like that or i will only love you more
for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
F#m
and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand
A
million shivering furry holes
F#m A
and i know that in the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold
C#m-A-C#m...
and spiderman is always hungry. . .

Additional lyrics:
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head

Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
NOTE: The notes in the above song are right the timing may be off,

well it's opening time down on fascination street
F G
so let's cut the conversation and get out for a bit
Am
because i feel it all fading and paling and i'm begging
F G
to drag you down with me to kick the last nail in
yeah i like you in that like i like you to scream

but if you open your mouth then i can't be responsible
for quite what goes in or to care what comes out
so just pull on your hair just pull on your pout
and let's move to the beat like we know that's it's over
if you slip going under slip over my shoulder
so just pull on your face just pull on your feet
and let's hit opening time down on fascination street
so pull on your hair pull on your pout

cut the conversation just open your mouth
pull on your face pull on your feet
and let's hit opening time down on fascination street
*************************************************************************
prayers for rain
you shatter me your grip on me a hold on me

so dull it kills you stifle me infectious sense of
hopelessness and prayers for rain i suffocate i
breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate
and drab the hours all spent on killing time
again all waiting for the rain
you fracture me your hands on me a touch so

plain so stale it kills you strangle me entangle
me in hopelessness and prayers for rain i
deteriorate i live in dirt and nowhere glows but
drearily and tired the hours all spent on killing
time again all waiting for the rain
*************************************************************************
the same deep water as you

Am B C D
kiss me goodbye pushing out before i sleep
can't you see i try swimming the same deep water as you is hard
"the shallow drowned lose less than me" you breathe
the strangest twist upon your lips
"and we shall be together . . . "
"kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with me"

and face pushed deep reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips
and disappear the ripples clear and laughing break against your feet
and laughing break the mirror sweet "so we shall be together . . . "
"kiss me goodbye" pushing out before i sleep

it's lower now and slower now the strangest twist upon your lips
but i don't see and i don't feel but tightly hold up silently my hands
before my fading eyes and in my eyes your smile
the very last thing before i go . . .
i will kiss you i will kiss you i will kiss you

forever on nights like this i will kiss you i will
kiss you and we shall be together . . .

The song basically moves around this simple progression: C-D-Em

However, it might change into Cadd9-Dadd9-Em7, especially somewhere
in the middle of a song, where we have this lick:

oh i miss the kiss of treachery the shameless kiss of vanity
the soft and the black and the velvety up tight against the side of me
and mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
and run in thickening streams of greed
as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece
oh i miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss before i feed

the stench of a love for a younger meat
and the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep
the holding up on bended knees the addiction of duplicities
as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece
but i never said i would stay to the end
so i leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
screaming me over and over and over
i leave you with photographs pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both of us knew how the ending would be . . .
so it's all come back round to breaking apart again

breaking apart like i'm made up of glass again
making it up behind my back again
holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
holding it up behind my head again
cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
round and round and round and it's coming apart again
over and over and over
now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces

i'll pull out my heart and i'll feed it to anyone
crying for sympathy crocodiles cry
for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone
dropping through sky through the glass of the roof
through the roof of your mouth through the mouth of your eye
through the eye of the needle it's easier for me
to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again
i never said i would stay to the end

i knew i would leave you with babies and everything
screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
screaming me over and over and over
i leave you with photographs pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet stains on the memory
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both of us knew how the end always is . . .
how the end always is . . .

last dance
i'm so glad you came i'm so glad you

remembered to see how we're ending our last
dance together expectant too punctual but
prettier than ever i really believe that this time
it's forever
but older than me now more constant more real

and the fur and the mouth and the innocence
turned to hair and contentment that hangs in
a basement a women now standing where once
there was only a girl

remembered the walking through walls in the
heart of december the blindness of happiness
of falling down laughing and i really believed
that this time was forever
but christmas falls late now flatter and colder

and never as bright as when we used to fall all
this in an instant before i can kiss you a woman
now standing where once there was only a girl

remembered to see how we're ending our last
dance together reluctantly cautiously but
prettier than ever i really believe that this time
it's forever
but christmas falls late now flatter and colder

and never as bright as when we used to fall and
even if we drink i don't think we would kiss in
the way that we did when the woman was only a
girl

hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again

down on my knees and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real never know how i
wanted to feel never quite said what i wanted
to say to you never quite managed the words to
explain to you never quite knew how to make
them believable and now the time has gone
another time undone hopelessly fighting the
devil futility feeling the monster climb deeper
inside of me feeling him gnawing my heart away
hungrily i'll never lose this pain never dream of
you again
*************************************************************************
homesick
hey hey! just one more and i'll walk away all
the everything you win turns to nothing today
and i forget how to move when my mouth is this
dry and my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-
stained sky oh it was sweet it was wild and oh
how we . . . i trembled stuck in honey honey
cling to me so just one more just on more go
inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
oh just one more and i'll walk away all the
everything you win turns to nothing today so
just one more just one more go inspire in me
the desire in me to never go home

DOING THE UNSTUCK

=================
F#m E
(I) It's a perfect day for letting go
D E
For setting fire to bridges, boats,
F#m E
And other dreary worlds you know
D A
Let's get happy!
(I) It's a perfect day for making out

To wake up with a smile without a doubt
To burst grin giggle bliss skip jump and sing and shout
Let's get happy!
G F#m
(II) But it's much to late you say for doing this now
Bm D
We should have done it then, well it just goes to show
Bm C#m
How wrong you can be and how you really should know
D (F#m-E-D-E...)
That it's never too late to get up and go
(I) It's a perfect day for kiss and swell

For rip-zipping button-popping kiss and well...
There's loads of other stuff can make you yell
Let's get happy!
(I) It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck

For dancing like you can't hear the beat
And you don't give a further thought
To things like feet. Let's get happy!
(II) But it's much too late you say...
C fa#m-LA-sim-RE
F#m A
(III) Kick out the gloom, kick out the blues
Bm D
Tear out the pages with all the bad news
F#m A
Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
Bm D
Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors
(III) Oh just burn down the house! Burn down the street!
Turn everything red and the beat is complete
With the sound of your world going up in fire
It's a perfect day to throw back your head
F#m E D-E...
And kiss it all goodbye
(I) It's a perfect day for getting old

Forgetting all your worries, life,
And everything that makes you cry
Let's get happy!
(I) It's a perfect day for dreams come true

For thinking big
And doing anything you want to do
Let's get happy!
(II) But it's much too late you say...
(III) Kick out the gloom...

F#m
And kiss it all goodbye...

Subject: DRESSING UP by The Cure
Dressing Up
(words & music by Robert Smith)
I love this song, any time I hear it, I think of my friend Annita for some
reason (I have only known her a couple months). Anyway, I am transcribing
the -Paris- version of the song. It really does not make that much of a
difference since I have heard the original and it sounds exactly like
the -Paris- version. I broke the song up into two riffs like these:
Riff 1 (the tantalizing keyboard riff):
Bm C D E5 Em
E --------2-3-2----------|------2-3-2-------|--------------|--------------|
B ----0-3-------3-0-0-0--|--0-3-------3-0---|--------------|--------------|
G -----------------------|------------------|--------------|--------------|
D -----------------------|------------------|---2---0--2---|-5--2--0--2---|
A -2---------------------|------------------|--------------|------------2-|
E -----------------------|------------------|-0------------|--------------|
Riff 2 (The spine-tingling duo notes):
C Bm C Bm
E ---3---2--3---5---|-2--------|---3---2--3---5---|-2--------|
B ---5---3--5---7---|-3--------|---5---3--5---7---|-3--------|
G ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
D ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
A ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
E ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
Those are basically the riffs with the chords on top. The lyrics are:
{Riff 1}
Going under slowly
It never seems too late
Going under slow
{Riff 2}
Dressing up to kiss
Dressing up to touch your lips
{Riff 1}
(Dressing up, dressing up)
(Dressing up, dressing up)
I~m dressing up to dance all week
I~m dressing up to be all this
{Riff 2}
Dressing up to kiss
Dressing up to be all this
Bb A
I could eat your face
Bb A (Riff 1)
I could eat all of you
Oh this night will never let me go...
Bb A
Going under slowly
Bb A
Never seems too late
Bb A
Going under slowly
G F Em
There you pick me up again...
I usually play the chords like this:
E A D G B E
-----------
Bm x 2 4 4 3 2
C x 3 5 5 5 x
D x 5 7 7 7 x
E5 x 7 9 9 x x
Em 0 2 2 0 0 0
Bb 6 8 8 7 x x
A 5 7 7 6 x x
G 3 2 0 0 3 3
F 1 3 3 2 1 1
(And that is all for now- Adios)

Cure could be is not very Gothic and Wish not a good album but
it includes some great songs. So if someone is interested, here
is the bassline for 'End'. There is little guitar on this song...
I'm typing this from memory so I could be wrong on some places
Enjoy!

Lyrics:
i think i've reached that point

where giving up and going on
are both the same dead end to me
are both the same old song

where every wish has come true
and tired disguised oblivion
is everything i do
please stop loving me

i am none of these things

where all the things you have to say
and hopes for something more from me
are just games to pass the time away


where every word that you write
of every blood dark sea
and every soul black night
and every dream you dream me in
and every perfect free from sin
and burning eyes
and hearts on fire
are just the same old song

bass, as many of the songs on "Faith" were, either by Robert
or Simon. I'll just transcribe it as a standard 4-string
bass.

Subject: Fascination Street by The Cure
FASCINATION STREET
(words by Robert Smith, music by Porl Thompson, Simon Gallup, Boris
Williams, Laurence Tolhurst, Roger O-Donnel, and Robert Smith)
I am actually transcribing the extended version of Fascination Street that

appears on -Mixed Up-. Although I like the original version, I find this
version more fun to play around with. I have not put anything in order,
all I did was to transcribe the millions of riffs there are to this song.
I have not transcribed the solo, though. The chords are mainly Cm, Ab, Gm,
which is played during the verses by that clean guitar. Here are the riffs
though:
This is the riff that opens up the song and appears near the end of the
song:
E ------------------------------------
B -----4-------4------4------1---3----
G -2-3-----2-3----2-3----2-3--------3-
D ------------------------------------
A ------------------------------------
E ------------------------------------
After this riff is played three times, the keyboard riff that appears is:
E -------3--------3----------------------3--------3--6--6-6-6--4--3--
B -4--6-----4--6-----4--1--1--1--4-4--6-----4--6---------------------
G -------------------------------------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------------------------------------
A -------------------------------------------------------------------
E -------------------------------------------------------------------
This is played two times, then the drums come in and then a weird effect
appears, I think it is harmonics played like:
E -----------------------------------------
B --7-7--7--7-7--7-7---5--5-5--5--5--5-5-5- <--play the 5 repeatedly for
G ----------------------------------------- six times then play, on
D ----------------------------------------- the high E string a fifth
A ----------------------------------------- fret harmonic repeatedly.
E -----------------------------------------
This appear throughout the song, also with a staccato C note played on
the fifth fret of the G string, during the song.
The main part of the song, is mainly the bass riff which repeats itself
over and over again for eight minutes of the song. If you don~t know
alread s indicates a slide, p indicates a pull-off and ~ indicates
tremolo. Here is the bassline:
G ------------------------------------------------------
D ------------------------------------------------------
A -3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-s-6-6-6--3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-s-5-5-5-
E ------------------------------------------------------
G -----------------------------------------------------------
D -----------------------------------------------------------
A -----------------------------------------------------------
E -4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-s-13-13-13--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-s-6-6-6-
Another riff that appears in the song comes after the bassline initially
plays two times, this riff is:
E -8---------
B ---10------
G ------8---- This riff is also played when the drum track kicks out
D --------10- for un momento.
A -----------
E -----------
After that play a C5 chord. The next riff is that almost -solo- type riff
but it~s not. This is it:
E --------------------------------------------------
B ----------4--3---------------------1-------6------
G -------5-------3-3--------------1-------3---------
D ----5--------------3-----3p1--1-------3-----------
A -3------------------------------------------------
E -----------------------------------------------3--
Now, before Smith comes in with his vocals, that guitar line is (I am not
sure if I play it an octave higher but here it is):
E -6~-----------6-6--4-4--3----4----1-
B ------------------------------------
G ------------------------------------
D ------------------------------------
A ------------------------------------
E ------------------------------------
After that a keyboard plays E --6--4--3-, then Smith starts singing.

While he is singing, there is that freaky guitar line, played with delay,
that goes like:
E -8--11--10--8--8--11--10--8-----11--10--8-----10--11--13-
B -----------------------------9-------------8-------------
G ---------------------------------------------------------
D ---------------------------------------------------------
A ---------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------
This is played two times then that whole barrage of riffs come in, the
solo also appears but I have not transcribed that. These are the basic
riffs for the song. The lyrics are (and I am doing this from memory):
oh it~s opening time down on fascination street

so let~s cut the conversation
and get out for a bit
~cause i feel it all fading
and paling
and i~m begging to drag you down with me
to kick the last nail in
yeah, i like you in that
like i like you to scream
but if you open your mouth
then i can~t be responsible for
quite what goes in
or to care what comes out
so just pull on your hair
just pull on your pout
and let~s move to the beat like we know that it~s over
slip going under
going over my shoulder
so put on your face
just put on your fear
and let~s hit opening time down on fascination street
so put on your face

put on your pout
cut the conversation
just open your mouth
put on your face
put on your fear
and let~s hit opening time
down on fascination street
down on fascination street
And that, ladies and gentleman, is Fascination Street, the remix. I hope
you have enjoyed and I hope this have helped out a bit. Please send
comments to the email address above if you have any, if you do not,
ignore this sentence. Bye-bye...

Subject: FIGHT by The Cure
Fight
(words by Robert Smith, music by Laurence Tolhurst, Simon Gallup, Porl
Thompson, Boris Williams, and Robert Smith)
This is the track that closes -Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me-, a total hopeful
track for Cure fans alike (but I am not a critic so I will not go on).
I have transcribed the basic guitar riff for the verses, the synth line for
the verses as well as chorus, and the guitar chords for the chorus.
The verse riff is:
E -------------------------------------
B -------------------------------------
G -------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------
A ----1--1p0----0--3--3--1--6----------
E -3---------3-------------------------
(make sure you slide between the last two notes, meaning slide between
fret 1 and 6).
The synthesizer riff (fit for guitar) for the verse is:
E -3----1-------------1--||-6------------------1--||
B -3---------4--3--4-----||-8----6----4--3--4-----||
G -----------------------||-----------------------||
D -----------------------||-----------------------||
A -----------------------||-----------------------||
E -----------------------||-----------------------||
(the double vertical lines in between means to repeat the riff)
For the ~Fight! Fight! Fight!~ part, the guitar plays a D5 chord (with
three staccato strums -hence the fight! fight! fight! part- it plays
D5 for about a second after that, then plays the C5 for another second,
then it plays C5 staccato three times. In between is the synth line.
If you work on it, you will know what I mean.
Synth lines inbetween -Fight! Fight! Fight!-
D5 C5 C5 D5
E -------------- E ------------------
B -3h4-3---1---- B -1h3-4--4--3-3----
G -------------- .............. G ------------------
D -------------- D ------------------
A -------------- A ------------------
E -------------- E ------------------
That is basically it. The song ends on D5 and that is about it. Bye-bye
for now.

Slowly fading blue the eastern hollows
A G C G F
Catch the dying sun the night time follows

See your head in the fading light

And through the dark your eyes shine bright

They burn like the fire burn like fire in cairo

E F G
E F G
E F
And the heat disapear and the mirror fades away
A G C G F
ad lib.
Notes: This is not quite the studio version since that version would
not sound good without 2 guitars. This is, though, closer to the
version that has been played live in some of the prayer tour concerts.

Intro: Am D C D (4x)
Am D
You want to know why I hate you?
C D
Well I~ll try and explain...
Am D
You remember that day in Paris
C D
When we wandered through the rain
Am D
And promised to each other
C D
That we~d always think the same
Am D C
And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one
Am D
And stopped just as the sun set
C D
And waited for the night
Am D
Outside a glittering building
C D
Of glittering glass and burning light...
And in the road before us stood a weary greyish man

Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags and thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you
Bm A
The father~s eyes said beautiful
Bm A
How beautiful you are
Bm A
The boy~s eyes said how beautiful
Bm
She shimmers like a star
Am Em
The child~s eyes uttered nothing
F
But mute and utter joy
Am Em
And filled my heart with shame for us
F
For the way we are
Am Em F
(The way we are)
D Am D Am D Am F F
Am D
I turned to look at you
C D
To read my thoughts upon your face
Am D
And gazed so deep into your eyes
C D
So beautiful and strange
Am D C D
Until you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream
Am D
-I hate these people staring
C D
Make them go away from me-

But pride and utter joy
And stilled my heart with sadness
For the way we are
D Am
And this is why I hate you
D Am
And how I understand
D Am F
That no-one ever knows or loves another
Am
Or loves another

It sounds better if all the D's in the entire song are replaced with D
major 7th chords. The following shows the difference on the guitar.
For those of us with keyboards, a D major 7th is D,F#,A,C#. Enjoy!!!

Song: "Jupiter Crash"

Artist: The Cure
Album: "Wild Mood Swings" (1996)
Performance Notes: I am not an accomplished transcriber; in fact,

this is one of my first attempts. It is the first to be made
public.
I tried to follow simple technique conventions

(i.e. \ means to slide down the string slightly after sounding
the note, ~ stands for a bend).
I am nearly certain that Mr. Smith

is utilizing some sort of reverb or echo device to get the repeats,
but I don't have one. Therefore I each echo as a separate strum.
You can figure out the specifics by listening to the album (that
goes for most bends and slides, as well).
I divided up the different measures, not by an skillful examination

of the time signature, but by where the solo contains natural
breaks. For those of you who are sticklers for musical conventions,
get off the internet.
Also: For those of you trying to play the whole song, take the
transcription for this song on this site with a grain of salt;
after playing with it extensively, I have decided that this is
an incorrect transcription (though I may be wrong). Caveat
emptor.

Message-ID: <2jtvj0$d67@agate.berkeley.edu>
Here's a classic, and probably my favourite song of all times. I

took the version off of Nevada and altered it slightly. As always,
suggestions and corrections are welcomed:
A E
"Show me how you do that trick
Bmin D
The one that makes me scream" she said
A E
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
Bmin D
And threw her arms around my neck
A E
"Show me how you do it
Bmin D
And I promise you I promise that
A E
I'll run away with you
Bmin D
I'll run away with you"
A E Bmin D (2x)
A E
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Bmin D
I kissed her face and kissed her head
A E Bmin
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
D
To make her glow
A E Bmin
"Why are you so far away?" she said
D A E
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
Bmin D
That I'm in love with you"
F#m
You
G
Soft and only
F#m
You
G
Lost and lonely
F#m
You
G
Strange as angels
D
Dancing in the deepest oceans
E
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
A E Bmin D (2x)
A E
Daylight licked me into shape
Bmin D
I must have been asleep for days
A E
And moving lips to breathe her name
Bmin D
I opened up my eyes
A E
And found myself alone alone
Bmin D
Alone above a raging sea
A E
That stole the only girl I loved
Bmin D
And drowned her deep inside of me
F#m
You
G
Soft and only
F#m
You
G
Lost and lonely
F$m
You
G D
Just like heaven

[three versions - bass and solos]
From: "patrick m. ryan" <pat@jaameri.gsfc.nasa.gov>

the chords follow the bass going: A - E - Bmin - E
the "chorus" part ("you soft and lonely you, etc")

goes F#min - G - F#min - G - F#min - G - D - D
the beginning riff is like:

and do the first riff again.

Subject: TAB: Just Like Heaven (solo's too)
Measurements of time
====================
' = 1/32
^ = 1/16
. = 1/8
! = 1/4
o/ = half note
o = whole note
Other notation
==============
a+b (where a and b are measurements of time) =

add 'a' plus 'b' more time on that note
(e.g.) !+. means a quarter note + an eighth of a note time
******************
.__. = means that the previous note connects over

(in other words, don't play the other note)
******************
As everyone knows by now, the chords to this song are:
A E Bm D
-0- -0- -2- -2-

-2- -0- -3- -3-
-2- -1- -4- -2-
-2- -2- -4- -0-
-0- -2- -2- -x-
-x- -0- -x- -x-
If you already know the timing to the notes, then you can just look at
the notes and 'feel' your way through. If you don't know the timing,
you can try to figure out what the timing is by looking at the time
I put at the bottom of each TAB. It may be confusing at first, but you'll
get used looking at it. I tried using music notation as close as possible.
I'm pretty sure the notes and time are correct, though I may be wrong.
Remember, if you don't like this version, there other versions of JLH in
ftp sites.

Then back to intro, with all instruments, for 2 or 4 bars

(depends if you want the album (4) or single (2) version)
Then to the 2nd verse, music as the first.
Then to the 1st Chorus, which is something like this:
Guitar 2 (chords): A Bm A Bm A Bm D D*
Bass follows chords, with similar rythym as intro.
Guitar 1 also does chords, but only strums each one once,
with the D* chord played higher.
It then goes back to the intro music, with the 2nd

keyboard part as a solo. I normally play this is slight
overdrive, and slight delay, on my guitar, but an octave lower
than I have transcribed (which is at the right octave for
the keyboard).
Then it does the verse again, with the first 4 bars of the
guitar theme (from the intro) at the end of the verse, to
the last chorus, ending on the D*.

Lyrics start:
Standing on the beach with a gun in my hand

Staring at the sea, staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel at the Arab on the ground
See his open mouth but I hear no sound
Chorus:
I'm alive [Bass part moves up to the A string]
I'm dead
I am the Stranger [Bass moves back down to low E string]
Killing an Arab
I can turn and walk away or I can fire the gun

Staring at the sky, staring at the sun
Whichever I choose it amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing
(Repeat chorus)
Feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand

Staring at the sea, staring at the sand
Staring at myself reflected in the eyes
Of the dead man on the beach
(Repeat chorus)

the kiss
Kiss me kiss me kiss me

Your tongue is like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth
Love me love me love me

You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside out
Get it out get it out get it out

Get your fucking voice
Out of my head
I never wanted this

I never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
I never wanted any of this

Dead
Dead
Dead

Intro: D-D4-D4+-A
D A D A
Yes I know who you remind me of, a girl I think I used to know
Bm C#m-A
Yes I'd see her when the day got colder,
Bm C#m-A
on those days when it felt like snow
You know I even think that she stared like you,

she used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
and make like I just wasn't there
G E
And she used to fall down a lot
G E
That girl was always falling again and again
D A
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
Bm C#m A
But I never even caught her name

And sometimes we would spend the night

just rolling about on the floor
And I remember even though it felt soft at the time,
I always used to wake up sore
You know I even think that she smiled like you,

she used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away
and stay like that for quite a while
And I remember she used to fall down a lot

That girl was always falling again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her
*****************************************************************************
torture
I'm in the room without a light

The room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night
Another night with you
It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams
And pulls some more
Hanging like this

Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
I'm helpless again
My body is cut and broken

It's shattered and sore
My body is cut wide open
I can't stand anymore
Hanging like this

Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
Oh it's torture
And I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there
It's torture
It's torture
*****************************************************************************
if only tonight we could sleep
If only tonight we could sleep

In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide

Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe...
Then an angel would come

With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms
And the rain would cry

As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end...
*****************************************************************************
why can't i be you?

Dm Bb G
You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins
You're so perfect, you're so right as rain
You make me make me hungry again
F E
Everything you do is irresistible
F E
Everything you do is simply kissable
Dm Bb-G
Why can't I be you?
I'll run around in circles 'til I run out of breath

I'll eat you all up or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful too good to be true
You make me make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply delicate

Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?
You turn my head when you turn around

You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked I'm stuck like glue
You make me make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply dreamy

Everything you do is quite delicious
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
You're simply elegant!!!
*****************************************************************************
the snake pit
Well we're a mile under the ground

And I'm thinking that it's Christmas
And I'm kissing you hard
Like I've got very important business
And no-one knows
And no-one sees us
Because they're drinking their selves senseless
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snake pit
Well I'm out in a car

And it's just full of stupid girls
And I've forgotten how to speak
And I just can't remember a word
And my eyes feel like they're bursting
And they're splitting like plums
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snake pit
*****************************************************************************
how beautiful you are

The intro bass riff is:

The chords are:
Intro: Am D C D (4x)
Am D
You want to know why I hate you?
C D
Well I~ll try and explain...
You remember that day in Paris
When we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other
That we~d always think the same
And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one
And stopped just as the sun set
And waited for the night
Outside a glittering building
Of glittering glass and burning light...
And in the road before us stood a weary greyish man

Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags and thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you
Bm A
Bm A
Bm A
Bm
Am Em
F
But mute and utter joy
Am Em
And filled my heart with shame for us
F
For the way we are
Am Em F
(The way we are)
D Am D Am D Am F F
I turned to look at you

To read my thoughts upon your face
And gazed so deep into your eyes
So beautiful and strange
Until you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream
-I hate these people staring, make them go away from me-

But pride and utter joy
And stilled my heart with sadness
For the way we are
D Am
And this is why I hate you
D Am
And how I understand
D Am F
That no-one ever knows or loves another
Am
Or loves another
*****************************************************************************
hey you!!!
Hey you!!!
Yes you
Yes you the one that looks like Christmas
Come over here and kiss me
Kiss me
Hey you!!!
Yes you
Yes you the one that looks delirious
Come over here and kiss me
Kiss me
*****************************************************************************
just like heaven
A E Bm D
"Show me how you do that trick, the one that makes me scream" she said
A E Bm D
"The one that makes me laugh" she said, and threw her arms around my neck
A E Bm D
"Show me how you do it and I promise you I promise that
A E Bm D
I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge, I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow
F#m G
You, soft and only
F#m G
You, lost and lonely
F#m G
You strange as angels
D
Daylight licked me into shape, I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name, I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me
You, soft and only

You, lost and lonely
You just like heaven
*****************************************************************************
all i want
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal

Tonight I'm howling inside
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm going wild
And all I want is to be with you again

And all I want is to hold you like a dog
With you again
Just to hold you like a dog
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal

Tonight I'm losing control
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight oh I'm getting so low

And all I want is to hold you like a dog
With you again
Just to hold you like a dog
That's all I want

The first time I saw lightning strike I saw it underground
Six deep feet below the street the sky came crashing down
For a second that place was lost in space then everything went black
I left that basement burning and I never went back
The second time I saw it strike I saw it at sea

It lit up all the fish like rain and rained them down on me
For a second that boat was still afloat then everything went black
I left it underwater and I never went back
Dm E7
Hey hey hey!!! But I like it when the lightning comes
Hey hey hey!!! Yes I like it a lot
Hey hey hey!!! Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
Feeling hot hot hot!!!
The third time I saw lightning strike it hit me in bed

It threw me around and left me for dead
For a second that room was on the moon then everything went black
I left that house on fire and I never went back
Hey hey hey!!! But I like it when the lightning comes

Hey hey hey!!! Yes I like it a lot
Hey hey hey!!! Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
Feeling hot hot hot!!!

(capo on 1st fret)
Two progressions:
for the verse it's F (Am-C) Dm (Dm/C)
and for the chorus, it's Bb Cm Gm
F Dm
I'd love to touch the sky tonight, I'd love to touch the sky
So take me in your arms and lift me like a child
And hold me up so high and never let me go
Take me, take me in your arms tonight
Bb Cm-Gm
Hold me, hold me up so high and never let me down
Hold me, hold me up so high to touch the sky just one more time
Take me in your arms tonight

Take me in your arms
Just one more time
Just one more time
Just one more time

She walked out of her house
And looked around
At all the gardens that looked back at her house
(Like all the faces that quiz when you smile)
And he was standing at the corner

Where the road turned dark
A part of shiny wet
Like blood the rain fell black down on the street
And kissed his feet she fell

Her head an inch away from heaven
And her face pressed tight
And all around the night sang out like cockatoos
And in her head

A picture of a boy who left her loney in the rain
(And all around the night sang out like cockatoos)

icing sugar
You're delicious
Dreaming
Slack jawed
Green eyed
Rub my nose in
Icing sugar
Smooth as
When this cold and deadly
Blade
Kisses the fruit
So soft
And gently breathing
Under your skin
Oh I'll empty you

I'll empty you
As empty as a boy can be
As empty
As a boy can be

You're such a strange girl
Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Cadd9
I think you come from another world
I really don't understand a word
I'd like to shake you around and around
I'd like to turn you all upside down
You're such a such a such a strange girl

The way you look like you do
I want to be with you

I think I'm falling

a thousand hours
D Bm F#m A
For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

For how much longer
Can I cry like this?
A thousand wasted hours a day

Just to feel my heart for a second
A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second
For how much longer can I howl into this wind?
*****************************************************************************
shiver and shake
You're just a waste of time

You're just a babbling face
You're just three sick holes that run like sores
You're a fucking waste
You're like a slug on the floor
Oh you're useless and ugly
And useless and ugly
And I shiver and shake
When I think of how you make me hate
I want to smash you to pieces

I want to smash you up and screaming
I want to smash you helpless
Down on the floor
Smash you until you're not here anymore
And I shiver and shake

Shiver and shake

fight
This is the track that closes -Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me-, a total hopeful
track for Cure fans alike (but I am not a critic so I will not go on).
I have transcribed the basic guitar riff for the verses, the synth line for
the verses as well as chorus, and the guitar chords for the chorus.
The verse riff is:

E -------------------------------------
B -------------------------------------
G -------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------
A ----1--1p0----0--3--3--1--6----------
E -3---------3-------------------------
(make sure you slide between the last two notes, meaning slide between
fret 1 and 6).
The synthesizer riff (fit for guitar) for the verse is:
E -3----1-------------1--||-6------------------1--||
B -3---------4--3--4-----||-8----6----4--3--4-----||
G -----------------------||-----------------------||
D -----------------------||-----------------------||
A -----------------------||-----------------------||
E -----------------------||-----------------------||
(the double vertical lines in between means to repeat the riff)
For the ~Fight! Fight! Fight!~ part, the guitar plays a D5 chord (with
three staccato strums -hence the fight! fight! fight! part- it plays
D5 for about a second after that, then plays the C5 for another second,
then it plays C5 staccato three times. In between is the synth line.
If you work on it, you will know what I mean.
Synth lines inbetween -Fight! Fight! Fight!-
D5 C5 C5 D5
E -------------- E ------------------
B -3h4-3---1---- B -1h3-4--4--3-3----
G -------------- .............. G ------------------
D -------------- D ------------------
A -------------- A ------------------
E -------------- E ------------------
That is basically it. The song ends on D5 and that is about it.
Sometimes there's nothing to feel

Sometimes there's nothing to hold
Sometimes there's no time to run away
Sometimes you just feel so old
The times it hurts when you cry
The times it hurts just to breathe
And then it seems like there's no-one left
And all you want is to sleep
Fight fight fight

Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push it until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never never
Never stop
Fight fight fight

Fight fight fight
So when the hurting starts

And when the nightmares begin
Remember you can fill up the sky
You don't have to give in
You don't have to give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in

Additional lyrics:
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head

Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

Subject: ONE HUNDRED YEARS by The Cure
One Hundred Years

(words by Robert Smith, music by Simon Gallup, Laurence Tolhurst, and
Robert Smith)
-Pornography- opens up with this cool anti-God-given-anything-good song.

I was too lazy to put the chords over the words but here is the riff
nonetheless:
Cm B Cm B
E ------------|------------|------------|-----4--3--4-3-|
B ------------|------------|------------|---------------|
G -7/\/\/\/\/-|-7/\/\/\/\/-|-7/\/\/\/\/-|-4-------------|
D ------------|------------|------------|---------------|
A ------------|------------|------------|---------------|
E ------------|------------|------------|---------------|
If you have heard the song before, I am sure you know what 7/\/\/\/ means.
To play that you just have to repeatedly bend the note 1/2 step up and
down. And I think you strike the note a couple times in the measure (say
around four times- I have not transcribed it that way). You will notice
that the song goes from Cm to B. If I wanted to be technical, for the
fourth measure I would have wrote B, Bsus6, Bsus#5, Bsus6 over the 4--3-4
notes on the high E string but I am not going to.
That is the main riff. For the lyrics such as "waiting for the death blow",
"just like the old days" and "one after the other", a Bb chord is played.
For the "a hundred years" part, Gb is played and then the song goes back to
Cm to B. That is basically it. Here are the lyrics:
It doesn't matter if we all die

Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time
A story on the radio
Something small falls out of your mouth

And we laugh
A prayer for something better
A prayer for something better
Please love me
Meet my mother
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot

Fighting for freedom on the television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything?
She struggles to get away
The pain and the creeping feeling
A little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday
The death of her father pushing her
Pushing her white face into the mirror
Aching inside me
And turn me around
Just like the old days
Caressing an old man

And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson
The ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth
And my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water
Thrashing in the water
Over and over
We die one after the other
Over and over
We die one after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
It feels like a hundred years

A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years

Subject: OTHER VOICES by The Cure
Other Voices
(words by Robert Smith, music by Laurence Tolhurst, Simon Gallup, and
Robert Smith)
After waiting such a long time for some one to transcribe this song, I just
decided to figure it out by myself. I tried doing that months ago and
failed. But this time around it was not as hard as I thought it was.
Basically (maybe skipping notes), but basically this is how I play it:
The strange intro is something like this:
E -------------0--0------------
B -0--0--7-----5--5--------0---
G -4--4--4-----------6-----4---
D -----------------------------
A -----------------------------
E -----------------------------
The bass riff starts out as:
Riff 1:
G ------||-----------------|---------------------||
D -4----||----------0------|---------------------||
A ----0-||-2--2-2-2--------|-------------------0-||
E ------||---------------0-|-2--2-2-2-3--2--0----||
The double lines means that you must repeat the riff ending and starting at
the double lines (you are not supposed to play those first two intro notes
again). This riff (within the double lines) is repeated seven times, then
you play:
G -----------------|---------------------|-----------------|
D ----------0------|-------------------0-|-2--2-2-2--------|
A -2--2-2-2--------|---------------------|---------------2-|
E ---------------0-|-2--2-2-2-3--2--0----|----------3------|
G ---------------------|-----------------|---------------------|
D -------------------0-|-2--2-2-2--------|---------------------|
A -4--4-4-4-5--4--2----|---------------2-|-4--4-4-4-5--4--2--0-|
E ---------------------|----------3------|---------------------|
You play Riff 1 again throughout the verse. Now, this is the part that may
not be accurate: the guitar tablature. I am sure I am pretty close, this is
how I play the guitar part during the verse:
E ----------------------|---------------------|
B ----------------------|-2--2-2-2/3--3--3--3-|
G -4--4-4-4/7--6-6--6-x-|-3--3-3-3/4--4--4--4-|
D -4--4-4-4/7--7-7--7-x-|-4--4-4-4/5--5--5--5-|
A ----------------------|---------------------|
E ----------------------|---------------------|
If you listen to how the guitar is played, you will get the idea. Now, this
song, believe it or not, has two choruses. The first chorus comes after the
first verse (obviously). The bass for it (and I am not perfect on this) is:
Chorus 1 Bass Riff:
G ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
D ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
A ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
E ||-2----2--2--2-|-0--0---0--0-|-2--2-2-2-3------|-2--2-2-2-3------||
This is played four times. It is good to slip that A note for the last time
when going back into Riff 1 for the second verse. The guitar part for Riff 2
is:
Guitar Riff 1A:
E ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
B ||-2--2--2--2---|-0-0-0--0--0-|-7--7-7-7-8\7-7-7--7-|-7--7-7-7-8\7-7-7--||
G ||-3--3--3--3---|-0---0--0--0-|-6--6-6-6-7\6-6-6--6-|-6--6-6-6-7\6-6-6--||
D ||-4--4---------|-2------2----|---------------------|-------------------||
A ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
E ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
Guitar Riff 1B:
E --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
B -2--2--2--2---|-0---0--0--0-|-7--7-7-7-8/10-10--10-|-7--7-7-7-8/10-10--10-|
G -3--3--3--3---|-0---0--0--0-|-6--6-6-6-7/-9--9---9-|-6--6-6-6-7/-9--9---9-|
D -4--4-----4---|-2------2----|----------------------|----------------------|
A --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
E --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
You play Guitar Riff 1A three times, then you play Guitar Riff 2B once. You
can play around a bit, especially at the F# to Em part. The second chorus
goes something like this:
G ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
D ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
A ||-4----4--4--4-|-5--5---5--5-|-----------------|------------------------||
E ||--------------|-------------|-7--7-7-7-5------|-2--2-2-2-3-----0--2--5-||
You play this three times, and on the fourth time, you play only half of it.
Listen to the tape or CD and you will know what I mean. Anyway, the guitar
for that part is:
E ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
B ||-----------|------------|-12--12-12-12\10-10-10-10-|-7--7-7-7/10-10-10-||
G ||-6--6-6--6-|-7-7--7-7-7-|-11--11-11-11\-9--9--9--9-|-6--6-6-6/-9--9--9-||
D ||-6--6-6--6-|-7-7--7-7-7-|--------------------------|-------------------||
A ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
E ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
Like the bass, repeat this three times and then play half of it. The song
ends with Riff 1 repeating and there are inaudible sounds of the intro going.
I hope this has helped. It may not be perfect and maybe you can formulate
your own transcription of it or whatever. By the way, here are the lyrics:
whisper your name in an empty room

you brush past my skin
as soft as fur
taking hold
i taste your scent
distant noises
of other voices
pounding in my broken head
commit the sin
commit yourself
and all the other voices said
change your mind
you're always wrong
(always wrong)
come around at christmas

i really have to see you
smile at me slyly
another festive compromise
but i live with desertion
and eight million people
distant noises
other voices
pulsing in my swinging arms
caress the sound, so many dead
and all the other voices sing
change your mind
you're always wrong
(wrong...)

[B]Intro [A] [B] [A] [B] [A] [G]

[B]It's not a [A]case of doing what's [B]right, it's just the [A]way I feel that [B]matters
Tell me I'm [A]wrong, I don't really [G]care
[B]It's not a [A]case of share and [B]share alike, I [A]take what I re[B]quire
I don't under[A]stand, you say it's not [G]fair
[F#]You expect me to [G]act like a lover

Con[F#]sider my moves and de[G]serve the reward
[F#]To hold you [G]in my arms and [C#m]wait ...
And [Cmaj7]wait ...
And wait for something to [B]happen [A]
[B] [A] [B] [A] [G]

[B] [A] [B] [A] [B] [A] [G]
[B]It's not a [A]case of telling the [B]truth, some lines just [A]fit the situ-[B]ation
Call me a [A]liar, you would anyway [G]
[B]It's not a [A]case of aiming to [B]please, you know you're [A]always crying [B]
It's just your [A]part in the [G]play for today

Subject: TAB: "Push", the Cure [incomplete]
I figured out the main riff to the Cure's song, "Push". However,
I'm having a little trouble with the chords during the verses. Can anyone
help?

[lyrics from ftp.uwp.edu]
Go go go
Push him away
No no no
Don't let him stay
He gets inside to stare at her

The seeping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
Its the only way to be
Exactly the same clean room

Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time...

"Now about those pictures..."
"I can explain! I was young! I needed the money!.."

Subject: SCREW by The Cure
Screw
(by Robert Smith)
This is a song off of -The Head On The Door-, an album in which Robert
Smith wrote all the tracks by himself. The guitar riff is quite simple
and it oscillates between strings (if there is such a thing).
The basic riff is:
E ----------------------------------------
B ----------------------------------------
G ----------------------------------------
D ----------------------------------------
A -------------------------------------5--
E --3---1---0---1--3---3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5----
There is also a part in the song where the riff changes, it goes unto a
different string like this:
E ----------------------------------------
B ----------------------------------------
G ----------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------5--
A --3---1---0---1--3---3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5----
E ----------------------------------------
There is also another part of the song where the riff goes on the D string,
which I will not get into at this time as you may see the point of this.
And that is basically it.

Bris es, les lumi

D chir es, les nappes des soir es de noces.

Goudronn es, les pierres des chemins tranquilles.

Elle rentrera bless e dans les parfums d'un autre,

Tu prieras jusq'aux heures o personne n' coute,

Elle n'en sort plus de ta m moire,

Je t' couterai me dire ses soupirs; ses dentelles;

Elle dqnse derrri

Et moi j'ai connu la m me histoire!

Depuis le [Dm]temps que je patiente dans cette [F]chambre noire

[Dm] [F] [C] [Bbadd9]

[Dm] [F] Est-ce que ce monde est [C]serieux? [Bbadd9]

Andalou[Dm]sie je me souviens, les prairies [F]bordees de cactus.

[Dm] [F] Est-ce que ce monde est [C]serieux? [Bbadd9]

Title: Elle ecoute pousser les fleurs =09

Elle a gommer les chiffres des horloges du quartier,

Elle a du faire toutes les guerres pour etre si forte aujourd'hui,

Elle vit de son mieux son reve d'orpheline,

Elle porte des rubans qu'elle laisse s'envoler,

Je dois juste m'assoir, je ne dois pas parler,

Elle a du faire toutes les guerres pour etre si forte aujourd'hui,

JE L'AIME A MOURIR - Francis Cabrel

Intro: C* twice (I recommend to use a capo on the 5th freet)

[C] Moi je n'etais rien, et voila qu'aujourd'hui

Vous pouvez [Dm] detruire tout ce qui vous plaira

Elle a [C] gomme les chiffres des horloges du cartier

Elle a [Dm] bati des ponts entre nous et le ciel

Elle a du [E] faire toutes les [Am] guerres

Elle vit de son mieux son reve d'opaline

Elle porte un (des) ruban(s) qu'elle laisse s'envoler

Pour monter dans sa grotte cachee sous les toits

Je dois juste m'asseoir, je ne dois pas parler

{Back to paragraph 5} {Back to paragraph 1 and 2}

Le ciel pretend qu'il te connant

Intro: D A7 F#m7 Bm7 G A/G F#m7 Bm7

Petite furie, je me bats pour toi,

Petite furie, tu dis que la vie

Elle s'est assise ` ctti de moi sur des caisses de bihres

[A]Oh! Rosie tout est blanc, [E]tes yeux m'iclairent

Je suppose que j'aurais d{ deviner qu'elle venait pour les stars

I play it with Capo in 3rd fret. Then,

Gm --> Em, Cm --> Am, Bb --> G, F --> D

oeffnet den rachen gespickt mit waffen

dann frist der riese was ihm im weg steht

im bauch des riesen lebt

er ist das mass aller dinge

im bauch des riesen lebt
