I’m no	t one of those	who can	easily	hide

	E	B	G#	C#m
I don’	t have much	money, but	boy if I	did

E	F#m7	A	B
I’d buy a big	house where	we both could	live

E	Amaj7	B	G#m
If I was a sc	ulptor,	but then again	no

E	B	G#	C#m
But the sun’s been quite	kind,	while I wrote this	song

E	F#m7	A	B
It’s for people like	you that they	keep it	turned on

E	Amaj7	B	G#m
So excuse me forget	ting	but	these things I do

Eve 6 - Inside Out

Asus2	E	B
I would swallow my	pride, I would choke on the	rinds

	A
But the lack thereof would leave me empty in	side

	E	F#
Swallow my	doubt turn it inside	out

Find nothing but faith in nothing

Asus2	E
Want to put my tender	heart in a blender

F#

Watch it spin ‘round into a beautiful oblivion

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

D	Cadd9	G/B	Cadd9	G

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

	D
When I try to explain how I	feel

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

	Em
You won’t bel	ieve me

	A7
All you will see is a	girl you once knew

	A7
Al	though she is dressed to the nines

	D
At sixes and sevens with	you

D	Cadd9	G/B	Cadd9	G

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

	D
Couldn’t stay all my life down at	heel

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

	Em
So I chose	freedom

	A7
Running around, trying	everything new

	A7
But	nothing impressed me at all

	D
I never expected it	to

D	Cadd9	G/B	Cadd9

G

Don’t cry for me Argentina

	G
The	truth is I never left you

	D
All through my	wild days

	Cadd9
My mad ex	istence

	G
I kept my	promise

	Cadd9
Don’t keep your	distance (let ring)

	G	C
And as for	fortune, and as for	fame

	D
I never invited them	in

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

	Em
They are ill	usions

	A7
They are not the solutions they	promised to be

	A7
The	answer was here all the time

	D
I love you and hope you love	me

D	Cadd9	G/B	Cadd9

G

Don’t cry for me Argentina

	G
The	truth is I never left you

	D
All through my	wild days

	Cadd9
My mad ex	istence

	G
I kept my	promise

	Cadd9
Don’t keep your	distance (let ring)

Am	D
Have I said too much?

	G	D/F#	Em
There’s nothing	more I can	think of to	say to you

	Am	D
But	all you gotta do is look at	me to know

	G	D/F#	C
That	every	word is	true

G

Don’t cry for me Argentina

	G
The	truth is I never left you

	D
All through my	wild days

	Cadd9
My mad ex	istence

	G
I kept my	promise

	Cadd9
Don’t keep your	distance (let ring)

Fastball - Out of My Head

E	B	C#m	E	E7
A	E	F#	B

E	G#m
Sometimes I feel like I am	drunk behind the wheel

	A	E
The w	heel of possib	ility

	F#	B
How	ever it may	roll

E	G#m
Give it a spin, see if it can	somehow factor in

	A	E
You	know there’s always m	ore than one way

	F#	B	E
To	say exactly	what you mean to s	ay

E	B	C#m
Was I out of my	head, was I out of my	mind?

	E	E7	A
How could I have e	ver b	een so b	lind?

	E
I was waiting for an	indication

F#	B
It was hard to	find

E	B	C#m
Don’t matter what I	say, no matter what I	do

	E	E7	A
I never mean to d	o bad	things to	you

	E
So quiet but I f	inally woke up

F#	B	A	A7
If you’re sad then it’s	time you spoke up	too

Guitar solo on chorus chords... if there’s _anyone_ around to play it

it would push the song over that critical 60-second mark.

E	B	C#m
Was I out of my	head, was I out of my	mind?

	E	E7	A
How could I have e	ver b	een so b	lind?

Johnny Mathis - Without Us

I play the intro roughly as follows, leaving the

second line on the m(7, not 9) to make the transition

easier. Also not hitting the high string on that

last chord will make the transition sound smoother.

B|-1-1-1--3-/5-3-|

Laura Branigan - Gloria

Originally in A, I play in A capo 3, or if I’m feeling like

a vocal reach, in D (D is better for the guitar). Highest

note is the 4, but it’s a long 4 (“caaaaallling”), and there’s

an awful lot of 3.

In A, play the intro A/E as:

-x-
-2-
-2-
-2-
-4-
-0-

A/E	E	A/E	E	A/E	E	A/E	E
D/A	A	D/A	A	D/A	A	D/A	A

A/E	E	D/A	A
Glori	a, you’re always on the	run	now

Vox stay where they were on “you really don’t”,

then up to 3 2 1 of the chord on me-hem-ber

	F#m	B7
You really don’t re	member

	E	Amaj7
Was it something that he	said?

	D	E	A
Are the voices in your	head	calling Glori	a?

Vox start this line where “Gloria” was

A/E	E	D/A	A
Glori	a, don’t you think you’re	fall	ing?

Both these phrases go up...

	A/E	E	D/A	A
If everybody	wants	you, why isn’t anybody c		alling?

	E
You don’t have to	answer

G	D	E	A
Leave them hanging on the	line, oh-oh-	oh, calling Glor	ia

Vox start this line where “Gloria” was

A/E	E	D/A	A
Glori	a (Gloria), I think they got your	num	ber (Gloria)

	A/E	E
I think they got the	ali	as (Gloria)

Go up on to the 4 on “under”

	D/A	A

Or will you catch him on the	re	bound?

	A/E	E
Will you marry for the	mon	ey

	D/A	A
Take a lover in the	after	noon?

	A/E	E
Feel your innocence	slipping a	way

	D/A	A
Don’t believe it’s coming	back	soon

	F#m	B7
And you really don’t re	member

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

G	Cadd9
We both lie silently still in the	dead of the night

	G	Cadd9
Although we	both lie close together we feel	miles apart inside

	G	Cadd9
Was it	something I said or	something I did

	G	Cadd9
Did my	words not come out	right

	D	Cadd9
Though I	tried not to hurt you though I	tried

I guess that’s why they say

Keys and cymbals gently enter...

And now I	hear you found somebo	dy new

	G	Cadd9
And	that I never meant that mu	ch to you

	D
To he	ar that tears me up inside

	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

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
