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...

Em	Gmaj7
And even though I know the	river is wide

Spoken, over verse chords... probably skip to “maybe I’ll forgive”

Girl, I'm here for you
All those times at night when you just hurt me
And just ran out with that other fellow
Baby I knew about it, I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love you, do you?
I'm here for you

Next verse starts here, overlapping with spoken text

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
Right now, I'm just in so much pain, baby, 'cause you just won't come back to me, will you?
Just come back to me!!!

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)...

Intro, capo 3

Cadd5	D11add5	Cadd5	D11add5	Cadd5	D7	G

But you pret	end that you can’t	hear me

	Bb	Dm
And my	song turns to a	scream

During this transition, with the yeah,

the capo 3 guitar fades out and capo 1 fades in

Capo 3: C C7 F
Capo 1: D D7 G

Garth Brooks - Papa Loved Mama (1992)

Papa drove a truck nearly all his life

	A7
You know it	drove mama crazy being a trucker’s wife

	B7
The	part she couldn’t handle was the being alone

	C	B7
I guess she	needed more to hold than just a	telephone

E5

Papa called Mama each and every night

	A7
Just to	ask her how she was and if us kids were alright

B7

Mama would wait for that call to come in

	C	B7	E7
And when	Daddy’d hang up she was	gone a	gain

A7

Mama was a looker lord how she shined

E7

Papa was a good’n but the jealous kind

A7

Papa loved Mama, Mama loved men

E7	B7	E5
Mama’s in the graveyard	Papa’s in the	pen

E5

Well it was bound to happen and one night it did

A7

Papa came home and it was just us kids

	B7
He had a	dozen roses and a bottle of wine

	C	B7
If he was	lookin’ to surprise us he was	doin’ fine

E5

I heard him cry for Mama up and down the hall

	A7
Then I	heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall

	B7
That	old diesel engine made an eerie sound

	C	B7	E7
When Papa	fired it up and headed	into	town

	A7
Well the	picture in the paper showed the scene real well

E7

Papa’s rig was buried in the local motel

	A7
The	desk clerk said he saw it all real clear

After this line go right into the little riff

	E7	B7	E5
He never	hit the brakes and he was	shifting	gears

Three thirty in the morning	not a soul in sight

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

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

And the thunder ro	lls

Every light is burnin’ in a	house across town

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

She rushes out to hold him	thankful he’s alive

She runs back down the hallway	to the bedroom door

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.

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.

Smash Mouth - All Star (1999)

	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 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

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

G	C	C#Mb5
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#Mb5	C
Hey now, you’re an	all-star, get your	game on,	go play

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
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?

You'll never shine if you don't glow

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

When I try to explain how I	feel

You won’t bel	ieve me

Couldn’t stay all my life down at	heel

Looking out of the window, staying	out of the sun

So I chose	freedom

	E7
Running around, trying	everything new

But	nothing impressed me at all

I never expected it	to

A	Gadd9	D/F#	Gadd9

D

Don’t cry for me Argentina

The	truth is I never left you

All through my	wild days

My mad ex	istence

I kept my	promise

Let ring on “distance”

Don’t keep your	distance

And as for	fortune, and as for	fame

I never invited them	in

Though it seemed to the world they were	all I desired

They are ill	usions

They are not the solutions they	promised to be
