Aerosmith - Cryin’ (1993)

Originally in A, I play in D or D capo 1

The highest part is the “breathin’ room” after

the first chorus, it goes up to the 4.

When acoustic, I also play something for the main riff

that looks a little more like Bb5 Bb5/G Bb5 C5,

or Eb Eb Bb5 C5. Even just Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 C5 works.

D#5	F5	A#5	C5
			x3

D#5	F5	A#5	C5	D#5

D	A
There was a	time

Bm	F#m
When I was so	broken-hearted

G	D	A
Love wasn’t	much of a	friend of mine

D	A
The tables have	turned, yeah

Bm	F#m
‘Cause me and them	ways have parted

G	D	A
That kind of	love was the	killin’ kind, listen

C	G	C	G
All I	want is some	one I can’t re	sist

Vox start this line on the same note as the last line,

and go a half-step up on “way”

F	C	A
I know all I	need to know by the	way that I got kissed

	D	A
I was	cryin’ when I	met you

	Bm	G
Now I’m	tryin’ to for	get you

D	A	G
Your love is	sweet miser	y

	D	A
I was	cryin’ just to	get you

	F#m	G
Now I’m	dyin’ ‘cause I	let you

D	A	G
Do what you	do, down on	me

Vox in on the 1 of whatever chord is last in this phrase.

That’s C if you’re playing in D. Chords are just the intro

riff.

D#5	F5	A#5	C5
			Now there’s not even breathin’ room

D#5	F5	A#5	C5
			Between pleasure and pain

D#5	F5	A#5	C5
			Yea you cry when we’re makin’ love

D#5	F5	A#5	C5	D#5
			Must be one and the	same

D	A
It’s down on me

Bm	F#m
Yeah I got to tell	you one thing

G	D	A
It’s been on my m	ind, girl	I gotta say

D	A
We’re partners in cri	me

Bm	F#m
You got that certai	n something

G	D	A
What you give to	me takes m	y breath away

	C	G	C	G
Now the	word out on the	street is the	devil’s in your	kiss

F	C	A
If our love goes	up in flames it’s a	fire I can’t resist

	D	A
I was	cryin’ when I	met you

	Bm	G
Now I’m	tryin’ to for	get you

D	A	G
Your love is	sweet miser	y

	D	A
I was	cryin’ just to	get you

	F#m	G
Now I’m	dyin’ ‘cause I	let you

D	A	G
Do what you	do, down on	me

Solo over intro chords

Vox in on the 5 of the first chord

That’s a D# if you’re playing in D

	G#	D#
‘Cause	what you got in	side

	G#	D#
Ain’t	where your love should	stay

Vox down a whole step on “our”, then up a whole step to “ain’t”,

and up a half-step on “give”.

	C#	G#
Yeah	, our love, sweet love	, ain’t love

	A
Yill ya	give your heart away

Note the minor chords are switched in this chorus

	D	A
I was	cryin’ when I	met you

	F#m	G
Now I’m	tryin’ to for	get you

D	A	G
Your love is	sweet miser	y

	D	A
I was	cryin’ just to	get you

	Bm	G
Now I’m	dyin’ to	let you

D	A	G
Do what you	do, down on	baby baby...

Intro

Wake up kids, it’s half past the youth

Ain’t nothin’ really changin’ but the date
You're a grand slammer, but you're no Babe Ruth

But the wrong key hole, yo

He said you’d b	est go on a diet, yeah I hope you have some fun

	E5
And a’d	on’t go burst a bubble on the rich folks who get rude

	E5
‘Cause you w	on’t get in no trouble when you eats that kinda food

	E5	F#5	G	A
Well now their	smokin’ up their	junk bonds, and	then they go get	stiff

	E5	F#5	G	A
And they’re	dancin’ in the	yacht club, with	Muff and Uncle	Biff

	E5	F#5	G	A
But there’s	one good thing that	happens, when you	toss your pearls to	swine

	B
Their	attitudes may taste like shit, but go real good with wine

E5	D5	A5	D5	A5	G	E5
Eat t	he r	ich, there’s	only one thing that	they’re g	ood	for

Aerosmith - Fever (1993)

Originally in E, I play in E capo 3

Vox on the 5 on “rip”

	E5
I got a r	ip in my pants and a hole in my brand new shoes

	D5	A5
We c	an’t run away from tr	ouble

Lyrics move a little faster here, no pause after the first line

	E5
I was f	eeling so high I forgot what day

Now I’m f	eeling low down even slow seems way too fast

	E5
And now the b	ooze don’t work ‘cause the drugs ran out of gas

C#dim	C5	A5
Unpredictable,	unpredicta	ble

	E5	E5/C
You would see if	on	ly

	E5/B	A5

Classic ways to live here

G5	C#5	C5

Through the	jungle of	doubt

To the	river so	deep

I'm not out to go out there and cheat all night
Just like you did baby, but that's all right
Heh, I love you anyway, and I'm still going to be here for you till by dying day baby

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On (1997)

Originally in E, I play in C capo 4 and do the key change, or I play in A and don’t do the key change.

With the key change, the highest note that matters is the 7, which is really the 5 after the key change.

Without the key change, the highest note that matters is the 5.

Play fast, more or less with straight-8th downstrokes.

Dan Morris - Flowers in the Rain (1998)

Note that the capo moves around in this song... it was

done with the magic of multitracking for recording

purposes, but I find I can do it live if I fade into a

real quiet chord right before I move the capo, which

happens to fit with the song (sort of)...

Garth Brooks - The Thunder Rolls (1990)

Am

Am	F
Three thirty in the morning	not a soul in sight

E	Am
The city’s lookin’ like a ghost town on a	moonless summer night

Am	F
Raindrops on the windshield, there’s a	storm moving in

E	Am
He’s headin’ back from somewhere that he	never should have been

	G	G	G/F#	E
And the thunder ro	lls

	Am
And the thunder rolls

Am	F
Every light is burnin’ in a	house across town

E	Am
She’s pacin’ by the telephone in her	faded flannel gown

Am	F
Askin’ for miracle	hopin’ she’s not right

E	Am
Prayin’ it’s the weather that has	kept him out all night

	G	G	G/F#	E
And the thunder ro	lls

	Am	G	Am
And the thunder rolls

	F	G
The thunder	rolls

	Am	G	Am
And the lightning	strikes

	F	G
Another love grows	cold

	E
On a sleepless night

X	F	G
As the storm blows	on

	Am	G	Am
Out of cont	rol

	F	G
Deep in her	heart

	Am
The thunder	rolls

Am	F
She’s waitin’ by the window when he	pulls into the drive

E	Am
She rushes out to hold him	thankful he’s alive

Am	F
But on the wind and rain a	strange new perfume blows

	E	Am
And the	lightning flashes in her eyes and	he knows that she knows

	G	G/F#	E
And the thunder rolls

	Am
And the thunder rolls

This verse is not on the recorded version

	F
She runs back down the hallway	to the bedroom door

	E	Am
She	reaches for the pistol hidden	in the dresser drawer

	F
Tells the lady in the mirror he	won’t do this again

E	Am
‘Cause tonight’ll be the last time she’ll	wonder where he’s been

	G	G/F#	E
And the thunder rolls

Genesis - Jesus He Knows Me (1991)

Originally in Ebm, I play in Am

and barre all the Dm’s. Also for some reason

I find myself tempted to strum 16ths... don’t

do that, you won’t be able to sustain the tempo,

stay at 8ths.

There goes the challenger being chased
By the blue, blue meanies on wheels
The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver
The last American hero, the, the electric sin-tar
The demi-god, the super driver of the golden West
Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver
The police cars are getting closer, closer
Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile, yeah baby
They about to strike, they gonna get him, smash! rape!
The last beautiful free soul on this planet

But it is written if the evil spirit
Arms the tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the dove
Thus spake the super guru
Did you hear that?

Guns and Roses - Garden of Eden (1991)

Originally in Eb, I play in E (an octave down) (obviously)

Spoken

	E
It’s a c	ritical solution, and the east coast got the blues

	E
It’s a	mass of confusion, like the lies they sell to you

Vox on the b3

	E
You got a g	lass-jawed toothache of a mental disease

And they be running ‘round back, see them line up on their knees
'Cause the kiss-ass sycophants, throwing penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go
Watch them come in off the streets

	G
While they’re	banging out front

Inside they’re slamming to the crunch
Go on and throw me to the lions
And the whole damn screaming bunch
Cause the pissed-off rip-offs, are everywhere you turn
Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn

Vox on the 1 on “fire”, which is originally an F# (!!!)

	G
This	fire’s burning, and it’s out of control

It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

G

	E
I r	ead it on a wall, it went straight to my head

It said, “dance to the tension of a world on edge”
We got racial violence, and who'll cast the first stone?
And sex is used any way it can be

A

Sometimes, when I look out, it’s hard to see the day

	E
It’s a feeling, you can have it, it’s not m	ine to take away

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Yeah, we’re lost in the Garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

	G
This f	ire’s burning, and it’s out of control

It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

G

Suck on that

E

Looking through this point of view

There’s no way I’m gonna fit in
Don't you tell me what my eyes see
Don't you tell me who to believe in

A

I ain’t superstitious, but I know when something’s wrong

I’ve been dragging my heels with a bitch called hope

	G
Most o	rganized religions make a mockery of humanity

Our governments are dangerous and out of control
The Garden of Eden is just another graveyard
Said, if they had someone to buy it
Then I'm sure they'd sell my soul

	G
This f	ire’s burning, and it’s out of control

It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

G

Lost in the Garden of Eden (and we ain’t talkin’ about no poison apple)

Said, we’re lost in the Garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this (or some missin' rib, ya hear?)
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

This f	ire’s burning, and it’s out of control

It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

You know I never knew how to be strong

So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
How can I forget you, or try not to reject you

Melissa Etheridge - Come to My Window (1993)

Originally in G, I play in G capo 6, and I leave out the

slow chorus at the beginning, which is an octave down in

the original (and also not there in the single version).

Slow chorus you’re going to skip...

G	Cadd9	Am	D
Come	to my	window

G	Cadd9	Am	D
Crawl	inside,	wait by the	light of the moon

G	Cadd9	Am
Come	to my	window

D

I’ll be home soon

Start here...

Cadd9	G/B	D	D

Cadd9	G/B
I would dial the	numbers

	D
Just to	listen to your breath

	Cadd9	G/B
And	I would stand ins	ide my hell

	D
And	hold the hand of death

Cadd9	G/B
You don’t know how	far I’d go

	D
To	ease this precious ache

	Cadd9	G/B
And y	ou don’t know how	much I’d give

Or	how much I can take

D	G	Cadd9	Am7	D
I’ll be home	soon

Cadd9	G/B
Keeping my eyes	open

	D
I can	not afford to sleep

Cadd9	G/B
Giving away	promises

	D
I	know that I can’t keep

Cadd9	G/B
Nothing fills the	blackness

	D
That has	seeped into my chest

	Cadd9	G/B
I n	eed you in my	blood

	D
I am fors	aking all the rest

	Em	Cadd9
Just to	reach you

Just to	reach you

Savatage - All That I Bleed (1993)

Originally in Bb, I play in G.

This is really low in the verse, but this song is

all about the second chorus, which sits on the 1 and

goes up to the 2, so totally worth the low verse.

G	D	C	D

G	D	C	D
Someone		got themselves a	letter

	G	D	C	D
In the	mail the	other	day

G	D	C	D
It’s al	r	eady worn and t	attered

	G	D	C	D
And I g	uess it g	ives a	way

Am	G
All the things we	keep inside

Am	D
All the things that r	eally matter

Am	G
The face puts on its	best disguise

	Am	D	G
And	all is well	until the heart betray	s

G	D	C	D
			x 2

G	D	C	D
She knows		as she reads the	letter that

G	D	C	D
Things were	bound to	stray

	G	D	C	D
The	wind blows,		she pulls her coat t	ighter

	G	D	C	D
And the l	etter f	lies aw	ay

Am	G
With all the things she	keeps inside

Am	D
All the things that	really matter

Am	G
The face puts on its	best disguise

	Am	D	G
And	all is well u	ntil the heart betray	s

Interlude, band enters on last chord in second phrase

G	Em	C	D

G	C
Lord bring on the	night

Wrap it all around	me

G	C
Let it hold me	tight

the chords; it would be 3 pages for 4 chords.

	G	D	Am	C
Some	body once	told me the	world is gonna	roll me

I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re an	all-star, get your	game on,	go play

All that	glitters is	gold

C	G	F	C
Only shooting s	tars	break the	mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's gettin' warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

G	C	C#dim	C

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do much to see

Evita - Don’t Cry For Me Argentina (cover)

This follows the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes arrangement.

I pretty much play this as straight 8ths, punk-style, maybe opening up a little in the chorus

Me First in G, I play in D capo 2

In D, play Gadd9 as 30020x

A	Gadd9	D/F#	Gadd9	D

	D	G
It won’t be	easy, you’ll think it	strange

	A
When I try to explain how I	feel

	D
That I still need your love after	all that I’ve done

	Bm
You won’t bel	ieve me

	E7
All you will see is a	girl you once knew

	E7
Al	though she is dressed to the nines

	A
At sixes and sevens with	you

A	Gadd9	D/F#	Gadd9	D

	D	G
I had to let it	happen, I had to	change

	A
Couldn’t stay all my life down at	heel

	D
Looking out of the window, staying	out of the sun

	Bm
So I chose	freedom

	E7
Running around, trying	everything new

	E7
But	nothing impressed me at all

	A
I never expected it	to

A	Gadd9	D/F#	Gadd9

D

Don’t cry for me Argentina

	D
The	truth is I never left you

	A
All through my	wild days

	Gadd9
My mad ex	istence

	D
I kept my	promise

Let ring on “distance”

	Gadd9
Don’t keep your	distance

	D	G
And as for	fortune, and as for	fame

	A
I never invited them	in

	D
Though it seemed to the world they were	all I desired

	Bm
They are ill	usions

	E7
They are not the solutions they	promised to be

	E7
The	answer was here all the time

	A
I love you and hope you love	me

A	Gadd9	D/F#	Gadd9

D

Don’t cry for me Argentina

	D
The	truth is I never left you

	A
All through my	wild days

	Gadd9
My mad ex	istence

	D
I kept my	promise

	Gadd9
Don’t keep your	distance

Vox on the 3 of the chord

Em	A
Have I said too much?

	D	A/C#	Bm
There’s nothing	more I can	think of to	say to you

Vox on the 3 of the chord (again)

	Em	A
But	all you gotta do is look at	me to know

	D	A/C#	G
That	every	word is	true

D

Don’t cry for me Argentina

	D
The	truth is I never left you

	A
All through my	wild days

	Gadd9
My mad ex	istence

I kept my	promise

Don’t keep your	distance

So	I tucked my hair up	under my hat and I	went in to ask him	why

F#m	D
He said you look like a fine, upstanding young	man, I think you’ll do

So, I	took off my hat and said, im	agine that, huh,	me workin’ for	you, whoa

And the	sign said anybody	caught trespassing	would be shot on	sight

	A	E	D	E
So, I	jumped on the fence and I	yelled at the house, hey,	what gives you the	right

	F#m	D
To	put up a fence to keep me out or to	keep mother nature in

	A	E	D	E
If	God was here, he’d	tell you to your face,	man, you’re some kinda	sinner

You can’t even watch, no,	you can’t eat

D	A	A
You ain’t supposed to	be	here

Let ring

	G	D/F#	A/E	D
And the	sign said	everybody welcome, come	in, kneel down and	pray

	A	E
But when they	passed around the plate at the	end of it all

	D	E
I	didn’t have a penny to	pay

	F#m	D
So I	got me a pen and a paper and I	made up my own little sign

	A	E	D	E
I said	thank you, lord, for	thinkin’ ‘bout me, I’m	alive and doin’	fine

A	G	D
Sign, sign,	everywhere a	sign
