One shot	one opportunity

Am	F
To seize everything you ever wanted,	one moment

Am	F
Would you capture it,	or just let it slip, yo

	Am
His pa	lms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

	F
There’s vomit	on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti

	Am
He’s nervous,	but on the surface he looks calm and ready

	F
To drop bo	mbs, but he keeps on forgetting

	Am
What he wr	ote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

	F
He ope	ns his mouth, but the words won’t come out

He’s cho	king, how, everybody’s joking now

The clock’s r	un out, time’s up, over, blao

Snap ba	ck to reality, oh, there goes gravity

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he’s so mad but he

And when you’re out there, without care

	Cmaj7
Yeah, I was out of touch

But it wasn’t because I didn’t know eno	ugh

	Esus4	E
I just knew too much

Does that make me	crazy?

Does that make me	crazy?

Does that make me	crazy?

Possibly

Vox on the 5 of the chord

Ha ha ha, bless your so	ul

Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know (2011)

Originally in Dm, I play in Am, which is really low

in the verse, so take all opportunities to take the

melody up rather than down.

Playing in the original key and dropping the chorus

an octave is also reasonable.

Happy yo	u could di	e

Am	G	Am	G
Told mys	elf that you were	right for	me

Am	G	Am	G
But felt so	lonely in your	company

Am	G
But that was	love and it’s an

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
Ache I st	ill remem	ber

	x 8

Am	G
You can get ad	dicted to a

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
Certain	kind of s	adness

Am	G	Am
Like resign	ation to the	end

G	Am	G	Am	G
Always the	end

Am	G	Am	G
So when we	found that we could	not make	sense

Am	G	Am	G
Well you	said that we would	still be fr	iends

Am	G
But I’ll ad	mit that I was

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
Glad that	it was o	ver

Am	G	F	G
But you	didn’t have to	cut me	off

Am	G	F
Make out	like it never	happened

	G	Am
And that	we were not	hing

	G	F	G
And	I don’t even	need your	love

	Am	G
But you	treat me like a	stranger

	F	G
And that	feels so	rough

Am	G	F	G
No you d	idn’t have to st	oop so	low

Am	G	F
Have your fr	iends collect your	records

	G	Am
And then	change your n	umber

	G	F	G
I g	uess that I don’t	need that	though

Now you’re just someb	ody that I	used to	know

All the times you scr	ewed me o	ver

Am	G
But had me bel	ieving it was

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
Always something	that I’d d	one

And I don’t wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

Am	G	F	G
But you	didn’t have to	cut me	off

Am	G	F
Make out	like it never	happened

And that	we were no	thing

And	I don’t even	need your	love

But you	treat me like a	stranger

Intro

A7

	A
Well I ain’t n	ever been the Barbie doll type

No I can’t swig that sweet champagne

Walk up through 2-b3-3 starts on “beer”

I'd rather drink beer all night

	D
In a t	avern, or in a honky-tonk

Or on a four-wheel drive tailgate

A

I’ve got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid, and Strait

	E7
Some pe	ople look down on me, but I don’t give a rip

	D
I’ll s	tand bare-footed in my own front yard

Hard stop on “baby”

With a baby on my hip

	A
‘Cause I’m a	redneck woman

I ain’t no high-class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say hey y'all and yee-haw

	D
And I ke	ep my Christmas lights on

On my front porch all year long

	A
And	I know all the words to

Every Charlie Daniels song

	E7
So h	ere’s to all my sisters

Out there keeping it country

Hard stop on “let”

	D
L	et me get a big hell yeah

Hits on “red”, “girls”, “me”

	D	D
From the	redneck girls like	me

	C	A
H	ell y	eah

A

Victoria’s Secret, well their stuff’s real nice

Oh but I can buy the same damn thing
On a Walmart shelf half-price

	D
And still look	sexy, just as sexy, as those models on TV

	A
No, I	don’t need no designer tag

To make my man want me

E7

You might think I’m trashy, a little too hard-core

	D
But	in my neck of the woods, I’m just the girl next door

	A
Hey I’m a	redneck woman

I ain’t no high-class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say hey y'all and yee-haw

	D
And I ke	ep my Christmas lights on

On my front porch all year long

	A
And	I know all the words to

Every Tanya Tucker song

	E7
So h	ere’s to all my sisters

Out there keeping it country

No hard stop this time

L	et me get a big hell yeah

And	I know all the words to

Every Old Bocephus song

Miranda Lambert - Gunpowder and Lead (2008)

If I play in G, which sounds better on guitar,

I go down an octave for the chorus. Or I play

in E, which sounds better for my voice, and go

up to the chorus (which is a monster of E, but

worth it.

In E, it’s lots of open pentatonic minor, and

E D A E (i.e., ignore all the slash chords and

add9’s).

And start slooooow, the chorus is a lot of words.

You can be the outcast

Am

Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love

F	G	C
Or	you can start speaking up

C

Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do

C

And they settle ‘neath your skin

Am

Kept on the inside and no sunlight

Am

Sometimes a shadow wins

F	G
But I	wonder what would happen if you

Let your words be	anything but empty

Taylor Swift - Shake it Off (2014)

Originally in G, I play in G and sing down an octave.

Vox go from the low 1 up to the 5 1.5 octaves above, so I

don’t go down all the way on the chorus.

Intro percussion only, though playing the root helps find

the first vocal line.

Vox on the 5 of the key on “I”, and the 3 on “late”

	Am
I stay out too	late

Got nothing in my	brain

	C
Can’t stop won’t stop	moving

Percussion only in the original, but way less awkward acoustic

to keep the chords going. Talk over the first part, sing the

second part on the chorus melody.

Am

Hey, hey, hey, just think

While you’ve been gettin’ down and out

	C
About the l	iars and dirty, dirty cheats of the world

Bob Seger - Turn The Page (cover)

I like to play this about 1.5x faster than the original,

starting with the Em at the 7th fret with the open top string,

then going to more like a low E5 in the second part of the verse.

Changing positions keeps this fairly repetitive song from getting

stale. Actually I try to us as many voicings with the open high E

string as I can.

Em	D	Em	Em

	Em
On a	long and lonesome highway east of Omaha

	D
You can	listen to the engine, moanin’ out its one note song

	A	Em
You can	think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night	before

	Em
And your	thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do

	D
When you’re	riding sixteen hours and there’s nothing much to do

	A	Em
You	don’t feel much like writing, you just wish the trip was through

	D	Em
But here I	am, on the	road again

	D	Em
Here I	am, up on	stage

	D	A
Here I	go, playing the	star again

	C	D	Em
There I	go,	turn the	page

Em

You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road

	D
And you	feel the eyes upon you, as you’re shaking off the cold

	A	Em
You	pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to	explode

Em

Sometimes you can hear ‘em talk, other times you can’t

	D
And it’s all the	same cliches is that a woman or a man

	A	Em
And you	always seem outnumbered, you don’t dare make a	stand

	D	Em
But here I	am, on the	road again

	D	Em
Here I	am, up on	stage

	D	A
Here I	go, playing the	star again

	C	D	Em
There I	go,	turn the	page

Quiet, let chords ring...

Em

Out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away

D

Every ounce of energy you try to give away

	A	Em
And the	sweat pours out your body like the music that you	play

Em

Later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed

	D
The	echoes of the amplifiers ringin’ in your head

	A	Em
And you	smoke the day’s last cigarette, remembering what she said

	D	Em
But here I	am, on the	road again

	D	Em
Here I	am, up on	stage

	D	A
Here I	go, playing the	star again

	C	D	Em
There I	go,	turn the	page

Now getting loud again...

	D	Em
But here I	am, on the	road again

	D	Em
Here I	am, up on	stage

	D	A
Here I	go, playing the	star again

	C	D	Em
There I	go,	there I	go
