N	ow I have	seen that sad sur	render

It’s either	sadness or eup	horia	→

Billy Joel - You May Be Right

A

Friday night I crashed your party

Saturday I said I’m sorry

	E
Sunday came and trashed me out a	gain

	Bm
I was	only having fun

	G
Wasn’t	hurting anyone

	E	A
And we	all enjoyed the weekend for a	change

	A
I was	stranded in the combat zone

I walked through Bedford Sty alone

	E
Even rode my motorcycle in the	rain

	Bm
And you	told me not to drive

	G
But I	made it home alive

	E	A
So you	said that only proves that I’m in	sane

	E	A
You may be	right I may be	crazy

	E	D	F#m	A
But it	just may be a	lunatic you’re	looking for

	E	A
Turn out the	lights don’t try to	save me

	D	E
You may be	wrong for all I	know

	A
But you may be	right

A

Remember how I found you there

Alone in your electric chair

	E
I told you dirty jokes until you	smiled

	Bm
You were	lonely for a man

	G
I said	take me as I am

	E	A
‘Cause you	might enjoy some madness for a	while

	A
Now	think of all the years you tried to

Find someone to satisfy you

	E
I might be as crazy as you	say

	Bm
If I’m	crazy then it’s true

	G
That it’s	all because of you

	E	A
And you	wouldn’t want me any other	way

	E	A
You may be	right I may be	crazy

	E	D	F#m	A
But it	just may be a	lunatic you’re	looking for

Turn out the	lights it’s too late to	change me

You may be	wrong for all I	know

	A
But you may be	right

Solo if appropriate on verse chords

You may be	right I may be	crazy

Bob Dylan - If You Gotta Go

Originally in F#, Flying Burrito Brothers in E

Dylan version does I→IV throughout the verse,

I follow the Burrito Brothers arrangement that

doesn’t do this until the chorus.

I also mix the lyrics from different versions here.

Intro

E

	E
Listen to m	e baby

I’ve come to make you see
I want to be with you, girl

Hard stop on “you”

	E
If	you want to be with me

	E	A	E
But if you got to	go

	E	A	E
That’s all	right

	A	E
But if you got to	go, go	now

	B	E
Or e	lse you got to stay all n	ight

	E
It ain’t that I’m que	stionin’ you

To take part in any kind’a quiz
It's just that I ain't got no watch

	E
An’ you keep	askin’ me what time it is

	E	A	E
But if you got to	go

	E	A	E
That’s all	right

	A	E
But if you got to	go, go	now

	B	E
Or e	lse you got to stay all n	ight

E

I am just a poor boy lookin’ to connect

And I certainly don’t want you thinkin’

	E
That	I haven’t got any respect

	E	A	E
But if you got to	go

	E	A	E
That’s all	right

	A	E
But if you got to	go, go	now

	B	E
Or e	lse you got to stay all n	ight

E

It ain’t that I’m wantin’

Anything you never gave before
It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon

	E
It’ll be too da	rk for you to find the door

	E	A	E
But if you got to	go

	E	A	E
That’s all	right

	A	E
But if you got to	go, go	now

Or e	lse you got to stay all n	ight

C	G/B
When the rain is blowing	in your face

I know you haven’t made your	mind up yet

C+	F	C
But I would	never do you	wrong

F	C
I’ve known it from the moment	that we met

	Dm7	G
N	o doubt in my mind where you	belong

C	G/B
I’d go hungry, I’d go	black and blue

Gm/Bb	F/A
I’d go crawling down the	avenue

Fm/Ab	C/G
Oh there’s nothing that I	wouldn’t do

The storms are raging on the	rolling sea

E	F	C
And on the	highway of	regret

F	C
The winds of change are blowing	wild and free

	Dm7	G
Y	ou ain’t seen nothing like me	yet

C	G/B
I could make you happy, make your	dreams come true

Gm/Bb	F/A
There is nothing that I wou	ldn’t do

Go to the ends of the	Earth for you

How can love survive in	such a graceless age?

Ah the	trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness

They’re the	very things we	kill, I guess

Our	pride and competition

Can not fill these empty arms

And the	work I put between us

All the	things I thought I’d figured out

	Esus4	E
I	have to learn	again

A

I’ve been trying to get down

To the heart of the matter

But	everything changes

D

And my friends seem to scatter

But I think it’s about	forgiveness

F#m

Forgiveness

D	Esus4	E	A
Even if, even if,	you don’t	love me any	more

A

	G	D/F#
There are	people in your life,	who’ve come and gone

	Em	D/F#
They	let you down, you know they	hurt your pride

G	D/F#
You better put it all behind you baby, ‘cause	life goes on

You keep	carrying that anger, it will eat you up inside, baby

A

I’ve been trying to get down

Even if, even if	you don’t love me

I’ve been trying to get down

Evita - Don’t Cry For Me Argentina

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

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

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

Looking out of the window, staying	out of the sun

So I chose	freedom

Running around, trying	everything new

Let ring on “distance”

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

Don’t cry for me Argentina

Am7

I’m gonna thrill you tonight

End on “thrill you tonight”, or keep going if appropriate...

Am7	F	G	D
			Darkness falls across the land the midnight hour is close at hand

Creatures crawl in search of blood to terrorize y’all’s neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell and rot inside a corpse's shell

The foulest stench is in the air the funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist the evil of the thriller

Paramore - Still Into You

Originally in F, I play in C capo 5 (down an octave)

C

Can’t count the years one hand

That we’ve been together

	Am
I need the other one to	hold you

Make you feel, make you feel better

C

It’s not a walk in the park

To love each other

	Am
But when our fingers inter	lock

Can’t deny, can’t deny you’re worth it

Quiet

	F
Cause after all this	time

	G	C
I’m	still into	you

Loud, but not higher than the verse... it feels like you want

to go up, but you don’t.

	F	G
I should be over all the	butterflies

	C
I’m into	you, I’m into you

	F	G
And baby even on our	worst nights

	C
I’m into	you, I’m into you

	F	G
Let ‘em wonder how we	got this far

	Am	C
Cause I don’t really need to	wonder at a	ll

	F
Yeah after all this	time

Hard stop on “still”

	G	C
I’m	still into	you

C

Recount the night that I first

Met your mother

	Am
And on the drive back to my	house

I told you that, I told you that I loved ya

C

You felt the weight of the world

Fall off your shoulder

	Am
And to your favorite	song

We sang along to the start of forever

	F
And after all this	time

	G	C
I’m	still into	you

	F	G
I should be over all the	butterflies

	C
But I’m into	you, I’m into you

	F	G
And baby even on our	worst nights

I’m into	you, I’m into you

	F	G
Let ‘em wonder how we	got this far

Cause I don’t really need to	wonder at a	ll

Yeah after all this	time

No hard stop this time

	G	C
I’m	still into	you

C	C	Am	G
C	C	Am	G

C

Some things just

C

Some things just make sense

	Am	G
And	one of those is	you and I

C

Some things just

C

Some things just make sense

	Am	G
And	even after	all this time

Quiet until the chorus

F	G
	C
I’m into	you

	F
Baby not a	day goes by that

	G	C
I’m	not into y	ou

	F	G
I should be over all the	butterflies

	C
But I’m into	you, I’m into you

And baby even on our	worst nights

A	B	G#m	C#m	A	B	E

Little Latin flourish on the 3rd and 4th strings, roughly iii ii

	E
There’s a	sunny little country south of Mexico

Where the	winds are gentle and the waters flow

	A	Am	E
But	breezes aren’t the only	things that blow in El	Salvador

	E
If you	took the little lady for a moonlight drive

F#7

Odds are still good you’d come back alive

	A	Am	E	E7
But	everyone is innocent unt	il they arrive in El	Salvador

If the	rebels take a bus on the	grand highway

Go down to the 1 instead of up to the 3 on “border”

Now we’ll play South of the	Border

A	B
And in the morning the	natives say

G#m	C#m
We’re happy you have lived a	nother day

A

Last night a thousand more

Passed away in El Salva	dor

Oooh	Oooh

To he	ar that tears me up inside
