Intro

A	A/G#

In A, I play that funny bV chord as a bVdim7

	A/C#	D	D#	E
But it’s	real and the	feeling com	es shining th	rough

The I/3 is maybe more like a IV/3, but in A it sounds better as a I/3

I p	layed a	round enou	gh to	find

F#m	E	D
→	No two are ever the	same

D	F#m	E	D
You	made me r	ealize the love I	missed

D	F#m	E	Bm
So	hot, l	ove I couldn’t quite res	ist

When it’s	right the	light just	comes shining	through

No need to	ever ask me	twice,	oh,	no

Bm	E
Whenever you w	ant me

And if	ever, comes a d	ay

	E	A	E/G#	F#m
When you should	turn and walk aw	ay,	oh,	no

38 Special - Hold on Loosely

Originally in E, I play in A capo 2

All the V/3’s and V/3’s are really probably I/7 and bVII/7 (i.e., only the bottom is moving),

but I prefer it this way if acoustic.

A	E/G#	G	D/F#
			x2

Vox on the 5 on “see”, and 1 2 of the key on “ba-ad”, which will feel low in my key

A	E/G#	G	D/F#
You see it all	around you,	good lovin’ gone	bad

A	E/G#	G	D/F#
And usually it’s	too late when you	realize what you	had

F	G
And my mind goes back to a girl I	left some years ago, who told me

A	E/G#	G	D	D/F#	G
Just hold on l	oosely,	but don’t let g	o	→	→

A	E/G#	G	D
If you cling too	tightly,	you’re gonna lose con	trol

Bm	E
Your baby needs	someone to believe in

Bm	D
And a whole lot of	space to breathe in

A	E/G#	G	D/F#
It’s so damn	easy	when your feelings are	such

A	E/G#	G	D/F#
To overpro	tect her,	to love her too	much

F	G
And my mind goes back to a girl I	left some years ago, who told me

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

It’s been on my m	ind, girl	I gotta say

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”.

Yeah	, our love, sweet love	, ain’t love

After	nine days I let the	horse run free

The	ocean is a desert with its	life underground

Under the	cities lies a	heart made of ground

Got in my	way oh no

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.

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

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 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

Em

	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

C	D	Em	D/F#
But there ain’t no	island left for	islanders like	me

Ay-ay	yo,		oh

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

Best years of my	life

	Cmaj7	D
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

Billy Joel - The Longest Time

Originally in Eb, I play in A capo 3 (so in C)

those 4’s on "I’m so in*spired* by you" and "that hasn’t

hap*pened*".

From the	mountains of	faith

I must be looking for	something

Something sacred I lost

But the	river is	wide

And it’s	too hard to	cross

Em	Gmaj7
And even though I know the	river is wide

I try to cross to the	opposite side

So I can	finally find out what I’ve been	looking for

In the middle of the	night

I go walking in my sleep

Through the	valley of	fear

Taken out of my soul

Something	I could never	lose

Something	somebody	stole

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

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

Now	think of all the years you tried to

Find someone to satisfy you

I might be as crazy as you	say

If I’m	crazy then it’s true

You can tell the world, you never was my girl

You can burn my clothes, when I’m	gone

You can tell my arms, go back into the farm

You can tell my feet to hit the	floor

He never really liked me any	way

	A
Go	tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please

	E
Myself already knows I’m not o	kay

	E
Or	you can tell my eye, watch out for my mind

	A
It might be walkin’ out on me to	day

	A
But d	on’t tell my heart, my achy breaky heart

I just don’t think he’d under	stand

And	if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart

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

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

C	Dm7
Once upon a time you	dressed so fine

	Em	F	G
You	threw the bums a dime	in your prime,	didn’t you?

C	Dm7
People’d call, say	beware doll

	Em	F	G
You’re	bound to fall, you thought	they were all	a kiddin’ you

You used to	laugh about

Everybody that was	hangin’ out

Aww, You’ve	gone to the	finest school all righ	t, Miss Lonely

But you	know you only used to get	juiced in it

	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

F	Em	Dm7	C
He’s not	selling any	alibis

F	Em	Dm7	C
As you stare into the	vacuum	of his eye	s

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

You used to ride on the chrome horse with your	diplomat

But you’d b	etter take your d	iamond ring,	you’d better pawn it babe

At Napoleon in rags	and the language that he used

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

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.

Spoken, over verse chords... probably skip to “maybe I’ll forgive”

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!!!

Britney Spears - Toxic

Originally in Cm, I play in Am capo 5

The highest note that matters is the 2 (“with a *taste*”)

Intro

Am

Vox on 1 2 on “baby”

Am	Am
Baby, can’t you see,	I’m calling

Am	Am
A guy like you,	should wear a warning

C	E7	Am
It’s dangerous,	I’m fallin’

Am

Am	Am
There’s no escape,	I can’t wait

Am	Am
I need a hit,	baby, give me it

C	E7	Am
You’re dangerous,	I’m lovin’ it

Am

Vox on 1 2 3 on “too high-igh”

Am	Am
Too high, can’t come down,	losing my head

	Am
Spinning	’round and ‘round

C	E7	Am
	Do you feel me now

Am

Vox on the 2 on “taste”

	Am	C
With a	taste of your lips I’m	on a ride

This line is really more like II7 bII7, but it’s easier to sing over VI V

F7	E7
You’re toxic,	I’m slipping under

	Am	C
With a	taste of a poison p	aradise

	F7	E7
I’m add	icted to you, don’t you	know that you’re toxic

Ditto here, this is really II7 bII7

Am	C	F7	E7
	And I	love what you do, don’t you	know that you’re toxic

Am	C	F7	E7

Am	Am
It’s getting late,	to give you up

Am	Am
I took a sip,	from my devil’s cup

C	E7	Am
Slowly,	it’s taking over me

Am

Am	Am
Too high,	can’t come down

Am	Am
It’s in the air, and it’s	all around

C	E7	Am
	Can you feel me now

	Am	C
With a	taste of your lips I’m	on a ride

F7	E7
You’re toxic,	I’m slipping under

	Am	C
With a	taste of a poison p	aradise

	F7	E7
I’m a	ddicted to you, don’t you	know that you’re toxic

Am	C	F7	E7
	And I	love what you do, don’t you	know that you’re toxic

Am	C	F7	E7
		Don’t you	know that you’re toxic

Bridge

This time I play the original chords, since there’s not really any vox here

Am	C	B7	Bb7
Ah	ah ah	ah

Am	C	F7	E7
Ah	ah ah	ah

The beginning of this chorus is implied by quirky noises

	Am	C
With a	taste of your lips I’m	on a ride

F7	E7
You’re toxic,	I’m slipping under

	Am	C
With a	taste of a poison parad	ise

	F7	E7
I’m add	icted to you, don’t you	know that you’re toxic

	Am	C
With a	taste of your lips I’m	on a ride

F7	E7
You’re toxic,	I’m slipping under

	Am	C
With a	taste of a poison parad	ise

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”

And she was	blinded	by the	light

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

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

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

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

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

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

Originally in E, I play in C capo 4 and do the key change, or I play in A and don’t do the key change.

With the key change, the highest note that matters is the 7, which is really the 5 after the key change.

Without the key change, the highest note that matters is the 5.

Play fast, more or less with straight-8th downstrokes.

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

A	E
I got the call today that I	didn’t wanna hear

	D
But I	knew that it would come

A	E
Old true friend of ours was	talking on the phone

	D
She said you	found someone

	E
And I	thought of all the bad luck

And the struggles we went through

	D
And how	I lost me and you lost you

E

What are these voices outside love’s open door

	D
Make us	throw off our contentment

	E
And	beg for something more?

A	Bm7	A/C#
But I’m learning to	live without you	now

	D
But I	miss you sometimes

	A/E	F#m
And the	more I know, the	less I understand

	D	Esus4	E
All the	things I thought I knew I’m	learning aga	in

A

I’ve been trying to get down

Bm7

To the heart of the matter

	A/C#
But my	will gets weak

D

And my thoughts seem to scatter

	A/E
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	A	Asus2	A	Asus2	Asus4

	A
All these	times are so uncertain

	E
There’s a	yearning undefined

	D
And	people filled with rage

	A
We all	need a little tenderness

E	D
How can love survive in	such a graceless age?

	E
Ah the	trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness

	D	D
They’re the	very things we	kill, I guess

	E
Our	pride and competition

Can not fill these empty arms

	D
And the	work I put between us

	Esus4	E
You know it	doesn’t keep me	warm

A	Bm7	A/C#
I’m learning to	live without you	now

	D
But I	miss you baby

	A/E	F#m
And the	more I know, the	less I understand

	D
All the	things I thought I’d figured out

	Esus4	E
I	have to learn	again

A

I’ve been trying to get down

Bm7

To the heart of the matter

	A/C#
But	everything changes

D

And my friends seem to scatter

	A/E
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

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

A

I’ve been trying to get down

Bm7

To the heart of the matter

	A/C#
But my	will gets weak

D

And my thoughts seem to scatter

	A/E
But I think it’s about	forgiveness

F#m

Forgiveness

D	Esus4
Even if, even if	you don’t love me

A

I’ve been trying to get down

Bm7

To the heart of the matter

Because the	flesh will get weak

D

And the ashes will scatter

So I’m thinkin’ about	forgiveness

Elvis Presley - Fever

Often played in Am, I play in Em capo 3.

Note the vocals ride mostly on IV in this key, i.e. the A in Em.

Crazy chromatic key changes are also common, but I skip that when

doing it acoustic. This is fun to do with just bass and vox, in

which I case I go up a half-step after every chorus.

Em

Never know how much I love you

D	B7	Em
Never know how	much I	care

Em

When you put your arms around me

	B7	Em
I get a	fever that’s so hard to	bear

	Em	C
You give me fever,		when you kiss me

D	Em
Fever when you hold me	tight

Em	C
Fever,	in the morning

B7	Em
Fever all through the	night

Em

Sun lights up the daytime

D	B7	Em
Moon lights	up the	night

Em

I light up when you call my name

	B7	Em
And you	know I’m gonna treat you	right

	Em	C
You give me fever,		when you kiss me

D	Em
Fever when you hold me	tight

Em	C

Em

Ev’rybody’s got the fever

D	B7	Em
That is something	you all	know

Em

Fever isn’t such a new thing

B7	Em
Fever started long a	go

Em

Romeo loved Juliet

D	B7	Em
Juliet she	felt the	same

Em

When he put his arms around her, he said

B7	Em
Julie, baby, you’re my	flame

	Em	C
Thou givest fever,		when we kisseth

D	Em
Fever when thy flaming	youth

Em	C
Fever	I’m afire

He gives me fever,	with his kisses

D	Em
Fever when he holds me	tight

Em	C
Fever,	I’m his missus

	B7	Em
Oh	daddy won’t you treat him	right

Em

Now you’ve listened to my story

D	B7	Em
Here’s a point that	I have	made

Em

Chicks were born to give you fever

	B7	Em
Be it	Fahrenheit or Centi	grade

Em	C
They give you fever,	when you kiss them

D	Em
Fever if you live and	learn

Em	C
Fever,	till you sizzle

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

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

	Bm
You won’t bel	ieve me

	E7
All you will see is a	girl you once knew

	E7
Al	though she is dressed to the nines

	A
At sixes and sevens with	you

A	Gadd9	D/F#	Gadd9	D

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

	A
Couldn’t stay all my life down at	heel

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

	Bm
So I chose	freedom

	E7
Running around, trying	everything new

	E7
But	nothing impressed me at all

	A
I never expected it	to

A	Gadd9	D/F#	Gadd9

D

Don’t cry for me Argentina

	D
The	truth is I never left you

	A
All through my	wild days

	Gadd9
My mad ex	istence

	D
I kept my	promise

Let ring on “distance”

	Gadd9
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

D

Don’t cry for me Argentina

	D
The	truth is I never left you

	A
All through my	wild days

	Gadd9
My mad ex	istence

	D
I kept my	promise

	Gadd9
Don’t keep your	distance

Vox on the 3 of the chord

Em	A
Have I said too much?

	D	A/C#	Bm
There’s nothing	more I can	think of to	say to you

Vox on the 3 of the chord (again)

	Em	A
But	all you gotta do is look at	me to know

	D	A/C#	G
That	every	word is	true

D

Don’t cry for me Argentina

	D
The	truth is I never left you

	A
All through my	wild days

	Gadd9
My mad ex	istence

	D
I kept my	promise

	Gadd9
Don’t keep your	distance

Not writing the bVII’s for the whole song, but they keep going

B	ack and forth, I sway with the wind

Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark

D

Sometimes I think I’m blind

Or I may be just paralyzed

	A
Because the p	lot thickens every day

And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin’ away
But I know, there's a picture beneath

My life is falling to piec	es

Somebody put me tog	ether

A

Layin’ face down on the ground

My fingers in my ears to block the sound
My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight

	A	A
Anticipa	ting the end, losing the wi	ll to fight

D

Droplets of “yes” and “no”

In an ocean of “maybe”

	A
From the b	ottom, it looks like a steep incline

From the top, another downhill slope of mine
But I know, the equilibrium's there

Garth Brooks - Papa Loved Mama

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

Wanna tell you a story

I'll have the rent for you tomorrow or the next day I don't know
So said let me slide it on you know people

I notice when I come home in the evenin'
She ain't got nothing nice to say to me

But for five year she was so nice
Lord, she was lovey-dovey

I come home one particular evenin'
The landlady said, you got the rent money yet?

I said, no, can't find no job
Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent

She said I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job
Said I seen you today you was standin' on a corner

Leaning up against a post
I said but I'm tired, I been walkin' all day

She said that don't befront me
Long as I get my money next Friday

Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent

Hard stop again, same deal

And out the door I went

E

So I go down the streets

Down to my good friend’s house

I said Look man, I'm outdoors, you know
Can I stay wicha maybe a couple days?

He said uh, let me go and ask my wife
He come out of the house, I could see in his face

I knowed it was "no"

He said I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, an' all
I said I know, everybody funny, now you funny, too

So I go back home, I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent
She said yeah, I said aw yeah

And then she was so nice
Lord, she was lovey-dovey

So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go
I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go

She a-hollerin' about the front rent, she be lucky to get any back rent
She ain't gonna get none of it

So I stop in the local bar, you know, people
I go to the bar, I hang my coat, I call the bartender

I said look man, come down here, he got down there
Said, whatchoo want?

Kept thinking	I could never live without you	by my side

	Fmaj7	Bm7b5
But then I	spent so many nights thinking	how you did me wrong

	Esus4	E
And I grew	strong, and I learned	how to get along

At tempo

	Am	Dm7
And so you’re	back from outer	space

	G	Cmaj7
I just walked	in to find you here with that sad	look upon your face

	Fmaj7	Bm7b5
I should have	changed that stupid lock, I should have m	ade you leave your key

	Esus4	E
If I had	known for just one second you’d be	back to bother me

	Am	Dm7
Go on now	go, walk out the d	oor

	G	Cmaj7
Just turn ar	ound now ‘cause you’re not	welcome anymore

Fmaj7	Bm7b5
Weren’t you the one who tried to	hurt me with goodbye

	Esus4	E
Did you think I’d c	rumble? Did you think	I’d lay down and die?

	Am	Dm7
Oh no, not	I, I will sur	vive

	G	Cmaj7
Oh, as	long as I know how to love I k	now I’ll stay alive

And I spent	oh so many nights just feeling	sorry for myself

	Esus4	E
I used to	cry, but now I	hold my head up high

	Am	Dm7
And you see	me, somebody	new

	G	Cmaj7
I’m not that	chained up little person still in	love with you

And so you	felt like dropping in and just ex	pect me to be free

Now I’m	saving all my loving for some	one who’s loving me

Go on now	go walk out the	door

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

Originally in Cm, I play in Am

Intro

Am

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind

Cmaj7	F
But there was something so pleasant about that pl	ace

Even your emotions had an echo

	Esus4	E
In so much spac	e

Am

And when you’re out there, without care

	Cmaj7
Yeah, I was out of touch

	F
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know eno	ugh

	Esus4	E
I just knew too much

	Am
Does that make me	crazy?

	Cmaj7
Does that make me	crazy?

	F
Does that make me	crazy?

	Esus4	E
Possibly

Vox on the 5 of the chord

A	F
And I hope that you are having the time of your l	ife

	Cmaj7	Esus4	E
But think tw	ice, that’s my only advic	e,	mmm

Am	Cmaj7
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you a	re

	F
Ha ha ha, bless your so	ul

	Esus4	E
You really think you’re in cont	rol

	Am
Well, I think you’	re crazy

	Cmaj7
I think you’re cra	zy

	F
I think you’re cra	zy

	Esus4	E
Just like me

A	F
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a	limb

	Cmaj7	Esus4	E
And all I re	member is thinking, I wanna be like t	hem,	mmmm

Am	Cmaj7
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fu	n

	F
And it’s no coincidence I’ve co	me

	Esus4	E
And I can die when I’m d	one

	Am
But maybe I’m	crazy

	Cmaj7
Maybe you’re	crazy

	F
Maybe we’re	crazy

	Esus4	E
Probably

A	F
Mmmm,	ooh

Cmaj7	Esus4	E

Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know

Originally in Dm, I play in Am, which is really low

in the verse, so take all opportunities to take the

melody up rather than down.

Playing in the original key and dropping the chorus

an octave is also reasonable.

Am	G
	x 8

Vox on the 5

Am	G
Now and t	hen I think of

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
When we	were toge	ther

Am	G
Like when you	said you felt so

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
Happy yo	u could di	e

Am	G	Am	G
Told mys	elf that you were	right for	me

Am	G	Am	G
But felt so	lonely in your	company

Am	G
But that was	love and it’s an

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
Ache I st	ill remem	ber

Am	G
	x 8

Am	G
You can get ad	dicted to a

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
Certain	kind of s	adness

Am	G	Am
Like resign	ation to the	end

G	Am	G	Am	G
Always the	end

Am	G	Am	G
So when we	found that we could	not make	sense

Am	G	Am	G
Well you	said that we would	still be fr	iends

Am	G
But I’ll ad	mit that I was

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
Glad that	it was o	ver

Am	G	F	G
But you	didn’t have to	cut me	off

Am	G	F
Make out	like it never	happened

	G	Am
And that	we were not	hing

	G	F	G
And	I don’t even	need your	love

	Am	G
But you	treat me like a	stranger

	F	G
And that	feels so	rough

Am	G	F	G
No you d	idn’t have to st	oop so	low

Am	G	F
Have your fr	iends collect your	records

	G	Am
And then	change your n	umber

	G	F	G
I g	uess that I don’t	need that	though

Am	G	F	G
Now you’re just someb	ody that I	used to	know

Am	G	F	G
Am	G	F	G
Now you’re just someb	ody that I	used to	know

Am	G	F	G
Am	G	F	G
Now you’re just someb	ody that I	used to	know

Am	G

Am	G
Now and	then I think of

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
All the times you scr	ewed me o	ver

Am	G
But had me bel	ieving it was

Am	G	Am	G	Am	G
Always something	that I’d d	one

G

And I don’t wanna live that way

G

Reading into every word you say

G

You said that you could let it go

G

And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

Am	G	F	G
But you	didn’t have to	cut me	off

Am	G	F
Make out	like it never	happened

	G	Am
And that	we were no	thing

	G	F	G
And	I don’t even	need your	love

	Am	G
But you	treat me like a	stranger

	F	G
And that	feels so	rough

No you d	idn’t have to st	oop so	low

Grease - Freddy My Love

Originally in Db, I play in E

Get the vox ready for “flipped over that gray cashmere sweater”,

and also think hard about how serious you are about the melody in

the bridge. It’s rhythmically simple, but melodically wild. Plan

on a class-II train wreck in the bridge.

B7	B6	B+	B7

Vox start on the 1

E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, I miss you	more than words can	say

Vox on the 7 of the chord on “touch”, down to the 3 of the chord on “way”

E	Emaj7	C#7sus4	C#7
Freddy my	love, please keep in	touch while you’re a	way

F#m7	F#m7b5	B7
Hearing from	you can make the	day so much better

G#m	G#m7b5/D	C#7sus4	C#7
Getting a	souvenir or	maybe a	letter

Vox up to the 3 of the chord on “flipped”, which is awkward,

then on the 5 on “gray”, which is not awkward.

Hard stop on “sweater”

F#m7	Am/D	E/B	A
I really	flipped over the	gray cashmere	sweater

	E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy you	know, your absence	makes me feel so	blue

E	Emaj7	C#7sus4	C#7
That’s okay	though, your presents	make me think of	you

F#m7	F#m7b5	B7
My ma will	have a heart at	tack when she catches

G#m	G#m7b5/D	C#7sus4	C#7
Those pedal	pushers with the	black leather	patches

F#m7	Am/D	E/B	A
Oh how I	wish I had a	jacket that	matches

	E	Emaj7	A	E7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

Vox on 3 1 of the first chord (“keep your”), then

1 5 of the second (“from me”).

That sets the tone, although this bridge is super-complicated to sing. Just hit

the high 3 of the chord on “mind” at the end and it will be OK.

	A	B7	G#m	E
Don’t	keep your letters	from me, I	thrill to every	line

	Am7	B7	Em	Em
Your	spelling’s kinda	crummy, but	honey so is	mine

	F#m7b5	B7+5	B7	Em	A7
I	treasure every	gifti	e, the	ring is really	nifty

	Dmaj7	C#m7	F#m7	B7
You	say it cost you	fifty, so you’re	thrifty, I don’t	mind

	E	Emaj7	A	B7
Woah, oh, oh,	oh, Freddy you	see, you’ll hold me	in your arms some	day

E	Emaj7	C#7sus4	C#7
And I will	be wearing your	lacy linge	rie

F#m7	F#m7b5	B7
Thinking a	bout it, my heart’s	pounding already

G#m	G#m7b5/D	C#7sus4	C#7
Knowing when	you come home, we’re	bound to go	steady

F#m7	Am/D	E/B	A
And throw your	service pay a	round like con	fetti

	E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile, yeah baby

Arms the tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the dove
Thus spake the super guru

Sometimes these things they are so e	asy

Sometimes these things they are so c	old

Sometimes these things just seem to r	ip you right in two

E7

Oh no man don’t let ‘em get to you

He laid her sister she said	O.K.

	G/B	Am
And	that’s al	right

Am

Buried her things today

Way back out deep behind the dr	iveway

Sometimes these women are so e	asy

Guns and Roses - Garden of Eden

Originally in Eb, I play in E (an octave down) (obviously)

Spoken

	E
It’s a c	ritical solution, and the east coast got the blues

	E
It’s a	mass of confusion, like the lies they sell to you

Vox on the b3

	E
You got a g	lass-jawed toothache of a mental disease

And they be running ‘round back, see them line up on their knees
'Cause the kiss-ass sycophants, throwing penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go
Watch them come in off the streets

	G
While they’re	banging out front

Inside they’re slamming to the crunch
Go on and throw me to the lions
And the whole damn screaming bunch
Cause the pissed-off rip-offs, are everywhere you turn
Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn

Vox on the 1 on “fire”, which is originally an F# (!!!)

	G
This	fire’s burning, and it’s out of control

It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

G

	E
I r	ead it on a wall, it went straight to my head

It said, “dance to the tension of a world on edge”
We got racial violence, and who'll cast the first stone?
And sex is used any way it can be

A

Sometimes, when I look out, it’s hard to see the day

	E
It’s a feeling, you can have it, it’s not m	ine to take away

E	D#	D	C#	E	F	F#

G

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Yeah, we’re lost in the Garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

	G
This f	ire’s burning, and it’s out of control

It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

G

Suck on that

E

Looking through this point of view

There’s no way I’m gonna fit in
Don't you tell me what my eyes see
Don't you tell me who to believe in

A

I ain’t superstitious, but I know when something’s wrong

I’ve been dragging my heels with a bitch called hope

	E
Let the	undercurrent drag me along

Solo

A	A	A	A
B	G	A	A

	G
Most o	rganized religions make a mockery of humanity

Our governments are dangerous and out of control
The Garden of Eden is just another graveyard
Said, if they had someone to buy it
Then I'm sure they'd sell my soul

	G
This f	ire’s burning, and it’s out of control

It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

G

Lost in the Garden of Eden (and we ain’t talkin’ about no poison apple)

Said, we’re lost in the Garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this (or some missin' rib, ya hear?)
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

This f	ire’s burning, and it’s out of control

It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

Hopin’ that you’d find your own way in

So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
How can I forget you, or try not to reject you

I got a, a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go

An’ I can tel	l you honey you can make my money tonight

Em

Wake up late, and honey, put on your clothes

When I look into your	eyes

	E
I can see a love res	trained

Amaj7	F#m7
But darling when I	hold you

	E
Don’t you know I feel the	same

F#m7	B
Cause nothin’ lasts for	ever

	E
And we both know hearts can	change

F#m7	B
And it’s hard to hold a	candle

	E
In the cold November	rain

Amaj7	F#m7
We’ve been through this such a l	ong, long time

	E
Just tryin’ to kill the	pain, oh yeah

	Amaj7
But l	overs always come and lovers always go

	F#m7	E
And	no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go	today, walkin’ away

	Amaj7
If w	e could take the time to lay it on the line

	F#m7
I could r	est my head

	E
Just knowin’ that you were	mine, all mine

F#m7	B
So if you want to	love me

	E
Then darlin’ don’t	refrain

F#m7	B
Or I’ll just end up	walkin’

	E
In the cold November	rain

	Amaj7	B
Do you n	eed sometime on your	own?

	Amaj7	B
Do you	need sometime all	alone?

	Amaj7	B
Everybody	needs sometime on their	own

	Amaj7	B
Don’t you know you	need sometime all	alone

G#m	Amaj7	E
I know it’s	hard to keep an	open heart

G#m	Amaj7	F#m7
When even	friends seem out to	harm you

G#m	Amaj7	E
But if you	could heal a	broken heart

G#m	Amaj7	B
Wouldn’t	time be out to	charm you, whoa

E	E

I usually skip this part

Amaj7	B
Sometimes I need sometime on my	own

	Amaj7	B
Sometimes I	need sometime all	alone

	Amaj7	B
Everybody	needs sometime on their	own

	Amaj7	B
Don’t you know you	need sometime all	alone

Amaj7

And when your fears subside

F#m7	E
And shadows still	remain, oh yeah

Amaj7	F#m7
I know that you can	love me

	E
When there’s no one left to	blame

F#m7	B
So never mind the	darkness

	E
We still can find a	way

F#m7	B
Cause nothin’ lasts	forever

	E
Even cold November	rain

Guns and Roses - Sweet Child o’ Mine

I usually capo 3 for this, so it’s just higher than an

octave down from the original.

I usually lead in with a slow rendition of the riff,

an octave down (open position).

D

She’s got a smile that it seems to me

	C
Re	minds me of childhood memories

	G
Where e	verything

	D
Was as fresh as the bright blue	sky

D

Now and then when I see her face

	C
She	takes me away to that special place

	G
And if I’d	stare too long

	D
I’d probably break down and	cry

Soft, crescendo through the chorus

A	C	D
Woah,	oh, sweet child o’	mine

A	C	D
Woah,	oh, sweet love of	mine

D

She’s got eyes of the bluest skies

	C
As	if they thought of rain

	G
I’d	hate to look into those eyes

	D
And	see an ounce of pain

	D
Her	hair reminds me of a warm safe place

	C
Where	as a child I’d hide

	G
And	pray for the thunder and the rain

	D
To	quietly pass me by

A	C	D
Woah,	oh, sweet child o’	mine

A	C	D
Woah,	oh, sweet love of	mine

Originally in D, I play in A, highest note is the 5 (“I’m not sick but I’m *not* well”)

Intro

A	G	D	A

A	Em
I had visions, I was in them, I was looking into the	mirror

	G	A
To see a little bit	clearer, the rottenness and evil in	me

A	Em
Fingertips have memories, mine can’t forget the curves of your	body

	G	A
And when I feel a bit	naughty, I run it up the flagpole and	see

Been around the world and found that only stupid people are b	reeding

	G	A
The cretins cloning and f	eeding, and I don’t even own a T	V

A	Em
Put me in the hospital for nerves and then they had to comm	it me

	G
You told them all I was c	razy, they cut off my legs now

A

I’m an amputee, god damn you

A	G/B	G	A
I’m not sick but I’m not	well, and I’m so	hot, ‘cause I’m in	hell

A	G/B	G	A
I’m not sick but I’m not	well, and it’s a	sin, to live so	well

You killed my m	ind, aaaaaahhhh

A	Em
Paranoia, paranoia, everybody’s comin’ to g	et me

	G	A
Just say you never m	et me, I’m running underground with the m	oles (digging holes)

A	Em
Hear the voices in my head, I swear to god it sounds like they’re sn	oring

	G	A
But if you’re bored then you’re b	oring, the agony and the ir	ony they’re killing me, whoa

Heart - Alone

The original starts in Bbm. For a male

voice this works okay with the chorus an

octave down. For a human (i.e., non-Heart) female,

Gm is somewhat reasonable, so I play it in Em,

capo 3. A dude singing in Em works pretty well

too. If feeling less-than-great in Em, don’t go

up to “got by” (which is a G), just stay on the

E. Similarly, sing the “how do i get you alone?”

on E,F,E→D instead of G,F,E→D.

Joan Baez - Diamonds and Rust

This is adapted loosely from the Judas Priest version.

The originals are in Em, I play in Em capo 5.

As a duet, I sing a 3rd below the lead and play in Em.

The songs is a dirge, so I follow the Priest version,

which is a rocking metal gallop.

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.

Kenny Rogers - Coward of the County

This is one of very few songs where I change lyrics to minimize awkwardness.

Originally starts in C, then changes to C#, then to D,

I play in A capo 4 and skip the key changes.

Intro

A

A	D	A
Everyone considered him the	coward of the	county

	A	E
He’d n	ever stood one single time to prove the county	wrong

	A	D	A
His	mama named him Tommy, the	folks just called him	yellow

	A	E	A
But	something always told me they were	reading Tommy	wrong

A	D	A
He was only ten years old when his	daddy died in	prison

A	E
I looked after Tommy ‘cause he was my brother’s	son

	A	D	A
I	still recall the final words my	brother said to	Tommy

A	E	A
Son, my life is over, but	yours has just	begun

A	D	A
Promise me, son, not to	do the things I’ve	done

D	A	E
Walk away from	trouble if you	can

A	D	A
It won’t mean you’re weak if you	turn the other	cheek

	A	D	E
I h	ope you’re old	enough to under	stand

	E	A
Son,	you don’t have to fight to be a	man

Original changes key up a half-step here

	A	D	A
There’s s	omeone for everyone and	Tommy’s love was	Becky

A	E
In her arms he didn’t have to prove he was a	man

	A	D	A
One	day while he was workin’ the	Gatlin boys came	callin’

A	E	A
They called Becky trashy,	told her she should	run

A	D	A
Tommy opened up the door and	saw his Becky	cryin’

	A	E
The c	ryin’ eyes, the shattered look was more than he could	stand

	A	D	A
He	reached above the fireplace and took	down his daddy’s	picture

	A	E	A
As his	tears fell on his daddy’s face, he	heard these words	again

A	D	A
Promise me, son, not to	do the things I’ve	done

D	A	E
Walk away from	trouble if you	can

	A	D	A
Now	it won’t mean you’re weak if you	turn the other	cheek

	A	D	E
I h	ope you’re old	enough to under	stand

	E	A
Son,	you don’t have to fight to be a	man

Original changes key up another half-step here

	A	D	A
The G	atlin boys just laughed at him when he	walked into the	bar-room

A	E
One of them got up and met him halfway ‘cross the	floor

	A	D	A
When	Tommy turned around they said, hey	look ol’ yellow’s l	eavin’

Spoken

A	E	A
But you coulda heard a pin drop when	Tommy stopped and blocked the d	oor

A	D	A
Twenty years of crawlin’ was	bottled up ins	ide him

	A	E
He	wasn’t holdin’ nothin’ back, he let ‘em have it	all

	A	D	A
When	Tommy left the bar-room not a	Gatlin boy was	standin’

	A	E	A
He	said, this one’s for Becky, as he	watched the last one	fall

Spoken

And I heard him say

	A	D	A
I p	romised you, Dad, not to	do the things you’ve	done

D	A	E
I walk away from	trouble when I	can

	A	D	A
Now	please don’t think I’m weak, I didn’t	turn the other	cheek

	D	E
And papa, I sure	hope you under	stand

	E	A
Some	times you gotta fight when you’re a	man

A	D	A
Everyone considered him the	coward of the c	ounty

Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

Originally in E, I play in D capo 2

	D	G	D
On a	warm summer’s evenin’ on a	train bound for	nowhere

	G	D	A
I	met up with the	gambler, we were both too tired to	sleep

	D	G	D
So	we took turns a-starin’ out the	window at the	darkness

	G	D	A	D
Till	boredom overtook	us,	and he began to	speak

	D	G	D
He said,	son, I’ve made a life out of	readin’ people’s	faces

	G	D	A
And	knowin’ what their	cards were by the way they held their	eyes

	D	G	D
And if	you don’t mind my sayin’, I can	see you’re out of	aces

	G	D	A	D
For a	taste of your	whiskey I’ll	give you some	advice

	D	G	D
So I	handed him my bottle and he	drank down my last	swallow

G	D	A
Then he bummed a	cigarette and asked me for a	light

	D	G	D
And the	night got deathly quiet, and his	face lost all expr	ession

	G	D	A	D
Said, if you’re	gonna play the	game, boy, ya gotta	learn to play it	right

	D	G	D
You got to	know when to hold ‘em,	know when to	fold ‘em

G	D	A
Know when to	walk away and know when to	run

	D	A	D	G	D
You never	count	your	money when you’re	sittin’ at the	table

	G	D	A	D
There’ll be	time enough for	countin’	when the dealin’s	done

Key change

E	A	E
Ev’ry gambler knows that the	secret to surv	ivin’

	A	E	B
Is	knowin’ what to	throw away and knowing what to	keep

	E	A	E
‘Cause	ev’ry hand’s a winner and	ev’ry hand’s a	loser

	A	E	B	E
And the	best that you can	hope for is to	die in your	sleep

	E	A	E
And	when he’d finished speakin’, he	turned back towards the	window

A	E	B
Crushed out his ciga	rette and faded off to	sleep

	E	A	E
And	somewhere in the darkness the	gambler, he broke	even

	A	E	B	E
But	in his final	words I found an	ace that I could	keep

	E	A	E
You got to	know when to hold ‘em,	know when to	fold ‘em

A	E	B
Know when to	walk away and know when to	run

	E	B	E	A	E

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

	A/E	E	D/A	A
Running after some	bo	dy, you gotta get him	some	how

	A/E	E
I think you’ve got to	slow	down

	D/A	A
Before you start to	blow	it

	A/E	E
I think you’re headed for a	break	down

	D/A	A
So be careful not to	show	it

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

of the first chord on “Gloria”

	A/E	E	D/A	A
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha,	Gloria	, how’s it gonna	go	down?

	A/E	E
Will you meet him on the	main	line

	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

	E	Amaj7
Is it something that he	said?
