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...

In the middle of the	night

I go walking in my sleep

	G7	C
From the	mountains of	faith

	Cmaj7	D
To the	river so	deep

	G
I must be looking for	something

Something sacred I lost

	G7	C
But the	river is	wide

	Cmaj7	D
And it’s	too hard to	cross

Em	Gmaj7
And even though I know the	river is wide

	Cmaj7	G
I walk	down every evening and	stand on the shore

Cmaj7	Gmaj7
I try to cross to the	opposite side

	A7	D
So I can	finally find out what I’ve been	looking for

	G
In the middle of the	night

I go walking in my sleep

	G7	C
Through the	valley of	fear

Taken out of my soul

Something	somebody	stole

I	don’t know why I go	walking at night

	Cmaj7	G
But now I’m	tired and I don’t want to	walk anymore

I	hope it doesn’t take the	rest of my life

Until I	find what it is I’ve been	looking for

Hang for 1 measure

	G
In the middle of the	night

I go walking in my sleep

	G7	C
Through the	jungle of	doubt

	Cmaj7	D
To the	river so	deep

I know I’m	searching for something

Something so undefined

That it can	only be	seen

By the	eyes of the	blind

In the middle of the	night

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

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

Garth Brooks - Papa Loved Mama (1992)

E5

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

E5	F5	F#5	G5	G#5	G#5

Just to pay to play the	game

stay at 8ths.

	E
I can see a love res	trained

Amaj7	F#m7
But darling when I	hold you

	E
Don’t you know I feel the	same

F#m7	B
Cause nothin’ lasts for	ever

	E
And we both know hearts can	change

F#m7	B
And it’s hard to hold a	candle

	E
In the cold November	rain

Amaj7	F#m7
We’ve been through this such a l	ong, long time

	E
Just tryin’ to kill the	pain, oh yeah

	Amaj7
But l	overs always come and lovers always go

	F#m7	E
And	no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go	today, walkin’ away

	Amaj7
If w	e could take the time to lay it on the line

	F#m7
I could r	est my head

	E
Just knowin’ that you were	mine, all mine

F#m7	B
So if you want to	love me

	E
Then darlin’ don’t	refrain

F#m7	B
Or I’ll just end up	walkin’

In the cold November	rain

	Amaj7	B
Do you n	eed sometime on your	own?

Don’t you know you	need sometime all	alone

G#m	Amaj7	E
I know it’s	hard to keep an	open heart

G#m	Amaj7	F#m7
When even	friends seem out to	harm you

G#m	Amaj7	E
But if you	could heal a	broken heart

G#m	Amaj7	B
Wouldn’t	time be out to	charm you, whoa

E	E

I usually skip this part

Amaj7	B
Sometimes I need sometime on my	own

	Amaj7	B
Sometimes I	need sometime all	alone

	Amaj7	B
Everybody	needs sometime on their	own

	Amaj7	B
Don’t you know you	need sometime all	alone

Amaj7

And when your fears subside

F#m7	E
And shadows still	remain, oh yeah

Amaj7	F#m7
I know that you can	love me

	E
When there’s no one left to	blame

F#m7	B
So never mind the	darkness

	E
We still can find a	way

F#m7	B
Cause nothin’ lasts	forever

	E
Even cold November	rain

Ending on Im is my nod to the outro that doesn’t work in a solo performance.

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)

Originally in F#, I play in G (all power chords)

This is maybe the only song where I’m not writing out all

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

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re a r	ock star, get the s	how on, g	et paid

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

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re a r	ock star, get the s	how on, g	et paid

G	C	C#dim
All that	glitters is	gold

C	G	F	C
Only shooting s	tars	break the	mold

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 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

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

At sixes and sevens with	you

A	Gadd9	D/F#	Gadd9	D

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

The	truth is I never left you

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

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

They are ill	usions

They are not the solutions they	promised to be

And the	sign said,	long-haired, freaky people	need not ap	ply

	A	E	D	E
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

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

A	G	D
Sign, sign,	everywhere a	sign

A	D
Blocking out the scenery,	breaking my mind

A	E	G
Do this, don’t do	that, can’t you read the	sign?

A

	G	D/F#	A/E	D
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

A	G	D
Sign, sign,	everywhere a	sign

Now,	hey you, mister, can’t you read?

	D	A
You’ve	got to have a shirt and	tie to get a seat

	E
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, you	got to have a membership	card to get ins	ide, huh

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

A	D
Blocking out the scenery,	breaking my mind

A	E	G
Do this, don’t do	that, can’t you read the	sign?
