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...

Billy Joel - The River of Dreams (1993)

On guitar, play as barre and ignore all extensions.

Also every time I try this it’s much more of a train

wreck than I expect it to be.

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

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

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

	G

Flowers at your wi	ndow

	Cadd5	D11add5
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

Capo 1

	G	G/F#	Em	Em7
Think	back on all the	times you woke up	crying

Instrumental bridge, still capo 1

On the last A, the capo 3 guitar fades back in on G

Her leaves of	autumn, her hint of winter	snow

G	B7
And while you’re waiting and a	month becomes a year

	C/E	Cm	F
Will she	care for your	lost seasons, will she shed a sin	gle tear?

G	B7
Will you be there,	yeah

C/E	Cm	F
Will you be	waiting dreaming wandering a	lone?

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

Mama was a looker lord how she shined

Garth Brooks - Rodeo (1991)

If I had to call all those E5’s Em or E, I’d call them E,

but they should be as E5 as possible, with an occasional E7#9.

I play the G A over an open A.

His	eyes are cold and restless

Just to	change the way he	feels

Vox up to the 1 on “knows”

	E5
She	knows his love’s in Tulsa

	A
And she	knows he’s gonna go

It starts to become a major chord here

	E5
Well it	ain’t no woman flesh and blood

	B7
It’s that	damned old rodeo

	E
Well it’s	bulls and blood, it’s dust and mud

	A	E
It’s the	roar of a Sunday	crowd

It’s the	white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle

	B7	D	B
He’ll	win the next go ‘round

	E
It’s	boots and chaps, it’s cowboy hats

It’s	spurs and lati	go, it’s the ropes and the reins

	E5
She	does her best to hold him

	A	E5
When	his love comes to	call

And her	back’s against the	wall

	E5
And it’s	so long girl I’ll see you

	A	A	G
When it’s	time for him to go

You know the	woman wants her cowboy

It’ll	drive a cowboy crazy

	A	E7
It’ll	drive a man in	sane

	A	E5
And he’ll	sell off every	thing he owns

A	E5
Just to pay to play the	game

	E5
And a	broken home and some broken bones

	A
Is	all he’ll have to show

	E5
For	all the years that he spent chasin’

	B7
This	dream they call rodeo

	E
Well it’s	bulls and blood, it’s dust and mud

It’s the	roar of a Sunday	crowd

It’s	boots and chaps, it’s cowboy hats

It’s	spurs and lati	go, it’s the ropes and the reins

And the joy and the pain and they	call the thing rode	o

This verse is not on the recorded version

She runs back down the hallway	to the bedroom door

I can see a love res	trained

Fmaj7	Dm7
But darling when I	hold you

	C
Don’t you know I feel the	same

Dm7	G
Cause nothin’ lasts for	ever

	C
And we both know hearts can	change

Dm7	G
And it’s hard to hold a	candle

	C
In the cold november	rain

Fmaj7	Dm7
We’ve been through this such a l	ong, long time

	C
Just tryin’ to kill the	pain, oh yeah

Fmaj7

But lovers always come and lovers always go

	Dm7	C
And	no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go	today, walkin’ away

Fmaj7

If we could take the time to lay it on the line

Dm7

I could rest my head

	C
Just knowin’ that you were	mine, all mine

Dm7	G
So if you want to	love me

	C
Then darlin’ don’t	refrain

Dm7	G
Or I’ll just end up	walkin’

In the cold november	rain

Fmaj7	G
Do you need sometime on your	own?

Do you	need sometime all	alone?

Everybody	needs sometime on their	own

Don’t you know you	need sometime all	alone

I know it’s	hard to keep an	open heart

Em	Fmaj7	Dm7
When even	friends seem out to	harm you

Em	Fmaj7	C
But if you	could heal a	broken heart

Em	Fmaj7	G
Wouldn’t	time be out to	charm you, whoa...

C	C

I usually skip this part

Fmaj7	G
Sometimes I need sometime on my	own

Sometimes I	need sometime all	alone

	Fmaj7	G
Everybody	needs sometime on their	own

	Fmaj7	G
Don’t you know you	need sometime all	alone

Fmaj7

And when your fears subside

Dm7	C
And shadows still	remain, oh yeah

Fmaj7	Dm7
I know that you can	love me

When there’s no one left to	blame

Dm7	G
So never mind the	darkness

We still can find a	way

Mr. Big - To Be With You (1991)

Originally in E, I play in C

Huge range, may need to muck with the chorus melody to

avoid having to go too low in C.

Vox start on the 5 of the first chord

Am	C	Fsus2	C
Hold on l	ittle girl, show	me what he’s d	one to you

Am	C	Fsus2	C
Stand up l	ittle girl, a b	roken heart can’t	be that bad

	Fsus2	C	Fsus2	C
When	it’s through, it’s	through,	fate will twist th	e both of you

	A#	G
So	come on baby, come on over,	let me be the one to show you

Vox drop to the root on “I’m”

Can go an octave up there, but get down to

the 3 of the second (IV) chord.

C	Fsus2	G	C
I’m the one who	wants to	be with	you

C	Fsus2	G	C
Deep inside I	hope you’ll	feel it	too

C	Fsus2	G	C
Waited on a	line of	greens and	blues

C	Fsus2	G	C
Just to be the	next to	be with	you

Am	C	Fsus2	C
Build up your	confidence so	you can be on	top for once

Am	C	Fsus2	C
Wake up, who	cares about	little boys that	talk too much?

	Fsus2	C	Fsus2	C
I’ve	seen it all go	down, your	game of love was	all rained out

	A#	G
So	come on baby, come on over,	let me be the one to hold you

C	Fsus2	G	C
I’m the one who	wants to	be with	you

C	Fsus2	G	C
Deep inside I	hope you’ll	feel it	too

C	Fsus2	G	C
Waited on a	line of	greens and	blues

C	Fsus2	G	C
Just to be the	next to	be with	you

Tricky vox here: “why” is the 7 of the first chord

Fsus2	Am
Why be alone when we can	be together baby?

Vox goes up a half-step from “baby”, to the 2 of this

chord on “you”, then down to 1 (can) #7 (my) 6 “worth”

D#	C
You can make my life worthwhile, I can make you start to	smile

Solo over chorus chords (almost) in original key

C	Fsus2	G	C
x 2

C	Fsus2	G	Am
C	Fsus2	G	C

	Fsus2	C	Fsus2	C
When	it’s through, it’s	through,	fate will twist th	e both of you

	A#
So	come on baby, come on over

Hanging end to this line

Let me be the one to show you

1.5 step key change... when I play in C, I just do a

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

Smash Mouth - All Star (1999)

Originally in F#, I play in G (6th-string 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 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#Mb5	C
Hey now, you’re an	all-star, get your	game on,	go play

G	C	C#Mb5	C
Hey now, you’re a r	ock star, get the s	how on, g	et paid

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

G	C	C#Mb5	C
Hey now, you’re a r	ock star, get the s	how on, g	et paid

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

So lovely

E	D
I’ve been around for a	long, long year

But what’s	puzzling you is the nature of my	game

I	watched with glee while your	kings and queens

	A	E
Fought for	ten decades for the	Gods they made

	E	D
I	shouted out “Who killed the	Kennedys?”

	A	E
When	after all it was	you and me

E	D
Let me please intro	duce myself

I’m a	man of wealth and	taste

	E	D
As	heads is tails just call me	Lucifer

	A	E
‘Cause I’m in	need of some re	straint

E	D
So if you meet me have some	courtesy

	A	E
Have some	sympathy, and some	taste

	D
Use all your well-learned pol	itesse

	A	E
Or I’ll	lay your soul to	waste, aw yeah
