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

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

Billy Joel - Keeping the Faith

Originally in D, I play in A capo 2.

If it	seems like I’ve been lost in let’s remember

If you think I’m feeling older and missing my younger days

	D
Oh, then you	should have known me much better

Cause my past is something that never

	A
Got in my	way oh no

	A
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

	D
Cause I	never felt the desire ‘til their music set me on fire

	E6	D
And then I was	saved,	yeah

	E6
That’s why I’m keeping the	faith

D

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Keeping the	faith

We wore	matador boots

Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos

	D
I	put on my shark skin jacket

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

	D
Combed my	hair in a pompadour

Like the rest of the Romeos wore

	E6	D

We were keeping the	faith

Learned stickball as a formal education

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

	D
I	heard about sex but not enough

	A
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

	D
I	thought I was the Duke of Earl

When I made it with a red-haired girl

Billy Joel - The Downeaster ‘Alexa’

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 I II III (B in G)

	G	D	Em
Well I’m	on the	Downeaster	Alexa

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

	C	G	Am
I have	charted a	course to the	Vineyard

	G	D	C
But	tonight 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	Downeaster	Alexa

	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	Downeaster	Alexa

	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

Em

	G	D	Em
Now I	drive my	Downeaster	Alexa

	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

Ah, but	still they come to haunt me

	C/E	C
S	till they want their	say

So I’ve l	earned to dance with a h	and in my pants

	Am7	Cmaj7
Let ‘em	rub my neck and I	write ‘em a check

	D	G
And they	go their merry wa	y

G

	G	C/E	G/D	C
I	am the entertainer,	been all around	the	world

I’ve	played all kinds of palace	s and laid all	kinds of	girls

I	can’t remember faces,	I don’t remember	names

You’ve	heard my latest recor	d, it’s been on the	radi	o

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

C/E	C
Best years of my	life

	Cmaj7	D
It was a b	eautiful song, but it	ran too long

	Am7	C
If you’re	gonna have a hit, you	gotta make it fit

	D	G
So they	cut it down to 3:0	5

G

G	C/E	G/D	C
I am the entertainer, the	idol	of my	age

	C	G/B	C	D
I	make all kinds of mone	y when I go	on the	stage

	G
Ah, you’ve	seen me in the papers

	C/E	C
I’ve	been in the ma	gazines

	C	D
But if	I go cold I	won’t get sold

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

Hang for 1 measure

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

Something so undefined

Now	think of all the years you tried to

Find someone to satisfy you

I might be as crazy as you	say

They leave that role to the poor

I keep going right through this part, though the original has an instrumental here.

Time will tell on their power minds

Making war just for fun

Treating people just like pawns in chess

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

When she cries in the night Tommy whispers

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 on A minor, chords are approximately:

Am	G	F	Em7	C	D	Am
						x 2

4 measures low riff on C → A minor, chords are approximately:

Bm	G	C	A5
			x 3

Bm	G	C	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 on A minor

	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 milion	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 in A minor, then a cadence on A major.

Bryan Adams - Summer of ‘69

Originally in D, I play in A capo 2.

A

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

It was the summer of ‘69

A

Me and some guys from school

E

Had a band and we tried real hard

A

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

E

I shoulda known we’d never get far

F#m	E
Oh when I	look back now

Oh and if I	had my choice

A	D

F#m	E
Those were the	best days of my life

A	E	A	E

A

Ain’t no use in complainin’

E

When you got a job to do

A

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

E

And that’s where I met you

F#m	E
Standin’ on your	mama’s porch

A	D
You told me that you’d	wait forever

F#m	E
Oh, and when you	held my hand

A	D
I knew that it was	now or never

F#m	E
Those were the	best days of my life

A	E
	A	E
Back in the summer of	’69

I guess	nothin’ can last for	ever- forever, no

A	E	A	E

A

And now the times are changing

Look at everything that’s come and gone

A

Sometimes when I play that old six-string

I think about you ‘n’ wonder what went wrong

Oh when I	look back now

A	D
That summer seemed to	last forever

F#m	E
Oh and if I	had my choice

Dan Morris - Flowers in the Rain

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

But you pret	end that you can’t	hear me

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

You know you’ve	been through this be	fore

But you can’t	sleep

	Bm	Bm/A	G
Can’t even	breathe when	you’re with	out her

	Gm
Each time the	clock goes ‘round

	Cm
Your	heart falls down

	F	NC	G
And you	ask yourself just	why it should be	you

	B7
Why you should be the	lucky one

	Em
You ask yourself what	you can give her

	C
When the	day is over

D	G
Just to show her that it should be	you

	Bm	Bm/A	G
And when the sunlight	falls	upon her	hair

	Gm	F
You say it isn’t	fair, and you just	stare

	G
And now it’s	true, now you’re the one that she wakes up with

	Gm
But it’s just like	you

	Cm	F
To never	let it feel just	right

	G
So you look a	way

	Bm	Bm/A	G
And you	worry	on tom	orrow

While you let to	day go by

And your	heart just dies

And when another sunlight	falls	upon her	hair

Will you be	there? Will she even	care?

Outro:

G	B7
Will you be there when her	summer breezes blow

C/E	Cm	F
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 the	re

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

G	B7
Will you be there will you be	will you will you there?

C/E	Cm	F
Or will she	see you waiting and wonder wonder	where?
