Aerosmith - Cryin’

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

‘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

G	D	A
What you give to	me takes m	y breath away

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

Yill ya	give your heart away

Note the minor chords are switched in this chorus

Out on	some back country road

	E
We were	flying high, fine as wine

A

Having ourselves a big and rich time

And I	was going, just about as far as she’d	let me go

Had me b	egging for salvation

All nigh	t long

So I	took her out giggin’ frogs

Introd	uced her to my old bird dog

Hard stop on "think

Oh, then you	should have known me much better

	A
Got in my	way oh no

Still I	would not be here now if I never had the hunger

And I’m not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends

Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos

You know the kind with the velvet collar

	A
And ditty-bop	shades

I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave

Combed my	hair in a pompadour

Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K.

	D
I	heard about sex but not enough

I found you could dance and still look tough any	way

I found out a man ain’t just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food drank a lot of take-home pay

I	thought I was the Duke of Earl

Originally in Am, I play in Em.

Sometimes I capo 2, the highest note is Bb in Am.

Mostly muted, be judicioius with strumming.

Em

Vox start on 1 2 3 of the major key

	G	D	Em
Well I’m	on the Downe	aster Al	exa

	G	D	C
And I’m	cruising through	Block Island	Sound

	C	G	Am
I have	charted a	course to the	Vineyard

	Em	D	C
But to	night I am	Nantucket	bound

C	D	G	C
We took on	diesel back in	Montauk	yesterday

C	D	Em	D/F#
And left this	morning from the	bell in Gardiner’s	Bay

C	D	G	C
Like all the	locals here I’ve	had to sell my	home

C	D	Em	D/F#
Too proud to	leave I worked my	fingers to the	bone

	G	D	Em
So I could	own my Downe	aster Ale	xa

	G	D	C
And I	go where the	ocean is	deep

	C	G	Am
There are	giants out	there in the	canyons

	G	D	C
And a	good captain	can’t fall	asleep

C	D	G	C
I’ve got	bills to pay and	children who need	clothes

C	D	Em	D/F#
I know there’s	fish out there	but where God only	knows

C	D	G	C
They say these	waters aren’t	what they used to	be

C	D	Em	D/F#
But I’ve got	people back on	land who count on	me

	G	D	Em
So if you	see my Downe	aster Al	exa

	G	D	C
And if you	work with the	rod and the	reel

	C	G	Am
Tell my	wife I am	trolling	Atlantis

	G	D	C
And I	still have my	hands on the	wheel

Interlude, lots of ayyy-o and accordion noises

	G	D	Em
Now I	drive my Downe	aster Al	exa

	G	D	C
More and	more miles from	shore every	year

	C	G	Am
Since they	tell me I	can’t sell no	stripers

	G	D	C
And there’s	no luck in	swordfishing	here

C	D	G	C
I was a	bayman like my	father was	before

C	D	Em	D/F#
Can’t make a	living as a	bayman	anymore

C	D	G	C
There ain’t much	future for a	man who works the	sea

But there ain’t no	island left for	islanders like	me

Ah, it	took me years to write it, they were the

Best years of my	life

It was a b	eautiful song, but it	ran too long

If you’re	gonna have a hit, you	gotta make it fit

So they	cut it down to 3:0	5

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

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

	E	A	E
Said 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

	Em	F	G

	C	Dm7	Em
No	body’s ever taught you	how to live out on the	street

	F	G
And now you’re	gonna have to get	used to it

F	G
You said you’d neve	r compromise

F	G
With the mystery tramp, but now you	realize

You	shouldn’t let other	people get your	kicks for you

Exchanging all p	recious gifts

But you’d better	take your diamond ring,	you’d better pawn it babe

F	G
You used to be	so amused

F	G
At Napoleon in rags	and the language that he used

F	Em	Dm7	C
Go to him now, he	calls you, you	can’t refuse

F	Em	Dm7	C
When you ain’t got	nothing, you got	nothing to los	e

Bob Seger - Turn The Page

I like to play this about 1.5x faster than the original,

starting with the Em at the 7th fret with the open top string,

then going to more like a low E5 in the second part of the verse.

Changing positions keeps this fairly repetitive song from getting

stale. Actually I try to us as many voicings with the open high E

string as I can.

Em	D	Em	Em

	Em
On a	long and lonesome highway east of Omaha

	D
You can	listen to the engine, moanin’ out its one note song

	A	Em
You can	think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night	before

	Em
And your	thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do

	D
When you’re	riding sixteen hours and there’s nothing much to do

	A	Em
You	don’t feel much like writing, you just wish the trip was through

	D	Em
But here I	am, on the	road again

	D	Em
Here I	am, up on	stage

	D	A
Here I	go, playing the	star again

	C	D	Em
There I	go,	turn the	page

Em

You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road

	D
And you	feel the eyes upon you, as you’re shaking off the cold

	A	Em
You	pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to	explode

Em

Sometimes you can hear ‘em talk, other times you can’t

	D
And it’s all the	same cliches is that a woman or a man

	A	Em
And you	always seem outnumbered, you don’t dare make a	stand

	D	Em
But here I	am, on the	road again

	D	Em
Here I	am, up on	stage

	D	A
Here I	go, playing the	star again

	C	D	Em
There I	go,	turn the	page

Quiet, let chords ring...

Em

Out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away

D

Every ounce of energy you try to give away

	A	Em
And the	sweat pours out your body like the music that you	play

Em

Later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed

	D
The	echoes of the amplifiers ringin’ in your head

	A	Em
And you	smoke the day’s last cigarette, remembering what she said

	D	Em
But here I	am, on the	road again

	D	Em
Here I	am, up on	stage

	D	A
Here I	go, playing the	star again

	C	D	Em
There I	go,	turn the	page

Now getting loud again...

	D	Em
But here I	am, on the	road again

	D	Em
Here I	am, up on	stage

	D	A
Here I	go, playing the	star again

	C	D	Em
There I	go,	there I	go

Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night Tommy whispers

Originally a solo on chorus chords, I just let the i ring for a while

then come back in with slow, hanging chords.

Am	F	G	G	Am
Oooooooooh, we’ve got to h	old	on	ready or n	ot

	F	G
You li	ve for the fight when it’s a	ll that you’ve got

super-melodramatic chorus here.

Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive

Originally in D, I play in A. In A, play all the Gadd9’s as G.

4 measures high riff, chords are approximately:

Am	G	F	Em7	C	D	Am
						x 2

4 measures low riff, chords are approximately:

D	D	C	A5
			x 3

G	G	A

A	Gadd9	D
It’s all the same,	only the names wil	l change

	Gadd9	D	C	A
And	ev’ry	day, it seems we’re	wasting a	way

	A	Gadd9	D
A	nother place, where the	faces are so	cold

	Gadd9	D	D	C	A
I’d	drive all	night, just to	get	back	home

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I’m a	cowboy	, on a	steel horse I	ride

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I’m	wanted	,	dead or a	live

Gadd9	D	C	A
Wanted	,	dead or a	live

4 measures high riff

	A	Gadd9	D
Some	times I sleep, some	times it’s not for	days

	Gadd9	D	C	A
And	people I meet	, always	go their separate	ways

	A	Gadd9	D
Some	times you tell the day, by the	bottle that you	drink

	Gadd9	D	D	C	A
Some	times when you’re a	lone,	all you	do is	think

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I’m a	cowboy	, on a	steel horse I	ride

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I’m	wanted	,	dead or a	live

Gadd9	D	C	A
Wanted	,	dead or a	live

Solo

When a soloist is available, play the chorus chorus,

and come out in a chorus with vocals.

For typical acoustic performance, let everything just

ring out in A minor for a while, then fade right into the verse.

	A	Gadd9	D
And I	walk these streets, a loaded	six string on my	back

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I	play for keeps	, ‘cause I	might not make it	back

A	Gadd9	D
I been ev’ry where, still I’m	standing	tall

Hard stop on “rocked”

	Gadd9	D	D	C	A
I’ve	seen a million	faces, and I’ve	rocked	them all

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I’m a	cowboy	, on a	steel horse I	ride

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I’m	wanted	,	dead or a	live

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I’m a	cowboy	, I got the	night on my	side

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I’m	wanted	,	dead or a	live

	Gadd9	D	C	A
Dead or a	live	,	dead or	alive

	Gadd9	D	C	A
I still	try I still	ride,	dead or	alive

Gadd9	D	C	A
Dead or a	live,	dead or	alive

Gadd9	D	C	A
Dead or a	live,	dead or	alive

End with high riff, then a cadence on the I major.

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!!!

Vox and guitar only

D	G	A	D
Madman drummers bummers and	Indians in the summer with a	teenage diplomat

	D	G	A	D
In the	dumps with the mumps as the	adolescent pumps his	way into his h	at

	D	G	A	D
With a	boulder on my shoulder,	feelin’ kinda older I	tripped the merry-go-	round

	D	G	A	D
With this	very unpleasing,	sneezing and wheezing, the ca	lliope crashed to the groun	d

If you feel like it...

	G	A	D
The ca	lliope	crashed to the groun	d

Band enters

	D	G	A	D
Some	all-hot half-shot was	headin’ for a hot spot	snappin’ his fingers clappin’ his hand	s

	D	G	A	D
And some	fleshpot mascot was	tied into a lover’s knot with a	whatnot in her han	d

	D	G	A	D
And now	young Scott with a slingshot	finally found a tender spot and	throws his lover in the san	d

	D	G	A	D
And some	bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, “	Daddy’s within earshot, save the	buckshot, turn up the band”

	G	A	D
And she was	blinded	by the	light

	G	A	D
Oh, cut	loose like a	deuce another	runner in the night

	G	A	D	Bm
Bli	nded	by the	light

A	G	D
She got down but she never got tight, but she’ll	make it al	right

Hang on the minor chord

	D	G	A	D
Some	brimstone baritone	anti-cyclone rolling stone	preacher from the Eas	t

	D	G	A	D
He says, “	Dethrone the dictaphone,	hit it in its funny bone, that’s	where they expect it least	”

	D	G	A	D
And some	new-mown chaperone	standin’ in the corner all alone	watchin’ the young girls danc	e

	D	G	A	D
And some	fresh-sown moonstone was	messin’ with his frozen zone to rem	ind him of the feeling of ro	mance

	G	A	D
And he was	blinded	by the	light

	G	A	D
Oh, cut	loose like a	deuce another	runner in the night

	G	A	D	Bm
Bli	nded	by the	light

A	G	D
He got down but he never got tight, but	he’s gonna make it

	G	Bm
To	night

Bridge, quiet again

	A	G	D
Some	silicone sister with her manager’s mister	told me I got what it	takes

	A	G	D
She said, “I’ll	turn you on sonny, to something strong if you’ll play that	song with the funky	break”

	A	G	D
And	Go-cart Mozart was checkin’ out the weather chart to	see if it was safe to go out	side

	A	G	D
And	little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and	asked me if I needed a	ride

Loud again

	D	G	A	D
Oh, some	hazard from Harvard was	skunked on beer playin’	backyard bombardier

	D	G
Yes and	Scotland Yard was trying hard, they	sent some dude with a calling card who said

A	D
“Do what you like, but don’t do it here”

	D	G	A	D
Well, I	jumped up, turned around,	spit in the air, fell on the ground,	asked him which was the way back	home

	D	G	A	D
He said, “Take a	right at the light, keep goin’	straight until night, and then	, boys, you’re on your own”

	D	G	A	D
And now in	Zanzibar a shootin’ star was	ridin’ in a side car	hummin’ a lunar tune

	D	G
Yes, and the	avatar said, "Blow the bar but	first remove the cookie jar

	A	D
We’re gonna	teach those boys to laugh too soon"

	D	G	A	D
And some	kidnapped handicap was comp	lainin’ that he caught the clap from some	mousetrap he bought last nigh	t

	D	G	A	D
Well I un	snapped his skull cap, be	tween his ears I saw a gap and f	igured he’d be all righ	t

	G	A	D
He was just	blinded	by the	light

	G	A	D
Cut	loose like a	deuce another	runner in the night

	G	A	D	Bm
Bli	nded	by the	light

Rubato

A	G
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the	sun

D	G	D
Whoa, but mama that’s where the	fun is, ooh yeah

Stay rubato for this made-up ending that follows neither MM nor BS

	G	A	D
I was just	blinded	by the	light

Cut	loose like a	deuce another	runner in the night

Her and her	husband Bobby well they split up

Roy Orbison singing for the	lonely

Waste your summer	praying in vain for a

G	A
Savior to rise from these	streets

	D	Bm
Well now	I’m no hero that’s	understood

All the re	demption I can offer girl is	beneath this dirty hood

D	F#m
With a chance to make it	good somehow hey

Roll down the window and	let the wind blow	back your hair

They haunt this	dusty beach road in the	skeleton frames of

Burned-out Chevrolets

Vox back up to the 1 of the key for this whole line, including “street”

They scream your name at night in the	street

Your graduation	gown lies in rags at their	feet

Stay on the 1 of the key on “lonely”

And in the	lonely cool before dawn

*Still* on the 1 of the key on “engines”

	G
You hear their	engines roaring on

Vox down to the 3 of the chord on “get to the porch”

But when you	get to the porch, they’re	gone
