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.

Then you can	mash, then you can monster mash

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

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”

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

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

Loud again

“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

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

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

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

I just see your	back as you walk out the	door

When will you	get I’m not your personal	Picasso?

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
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

But my	will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

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

To the heart of the matter

Because the	flesh will get weak

And the ashes will scatter

We’ll sit and	watch the	clouds roll by

And the	tall grass	waves in the	wind

You can	lay your	head back	on the ground

For this	tired old man that we e	lected king

Armchair warriors often fail

The	lawyers clean up all details

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
Fever,	in the morning

B7	Em
Fever all through the	night

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

B7	Em

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

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

Can you	feel it, see it, hear it today?

If you	can’t, then it doesn’t matter anyway

You will n	ever understand it ‘cause it happens too fast

	E5
And it	feels so good, it’s like walking on glass

	E5
I	t’s so cool, it’s so hip, it’s alright

	E5
It’s so	groovy, it’s outta sight

	E5
You can	touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet

But it	makes no difference ‘cause it knocks you off your feet

E	B	C	Dsus2	E5
You want it a	ll but you can’t	have it

It’s cr	yin’, bleedin’, lying on the floor

It’s ma	gic, it’s tragic, it’s a loss, it’s a win

It’s	dark, it’s moist, it’s a bitter pain

F#m	D
He said you look like a fine, upstanding young	man, I think you’ll do

I	didn’t have a penny to	pay

	F#m	D

Papa loved Mama, Mama loved men

Papa’s rig was buried in the local motel

Kept thinking	I could never live without you	by my side

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

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

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

Go on now	go, walk out the d	oor

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

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

Oh no, not	I, I will sur	vive

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

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

Maybe we’re	crazy

Probably

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

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

Have your fr	iends collect your	records

And then	change your n	umber

I g	uess that I don’t	need that	though

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

Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver
The police cars are getting closer, closer
Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile, yeah baby
They about to strike, they gonna get him, smash! rape!
The last beautiful free soul on this planet

But it is written if the evil spirit
Arms the tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the dove
Thus spake the super guru

Highest note that matters is the 3 of the minor key (“rip you right in two”)

Let ring, vox on the 5 on “he lost”

Am

He lost his mind today

Am	D
He left it out back on the hig	hway

C	G/B	Am
I-si	xty-f	ive

At tempo

Am

She loved him yesterday

	D	C
Yesterday’s over, I said O.	K.

Time moves on, that’s the way

We live in hope to see the n	ext day

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.

Buried her things today

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

E	D#	D	C#	E	F	F#

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Yeah, we’re lost in the Garden of Eden

But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

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

	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

How long before I had your trust again

Hopin’ that you’d find your own way in

Vox on the high 3 of the chord

You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me, but I feel as thought you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs

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

Gonna have some fun with my frustration

Gonna watch the big screen in my head

Your train of thought has cut me off again

Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy 'fore he's a man

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

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

Spoken

Who salutes, but no one ever does

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	Em
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

	A
And kill my	mind

	A
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

A	G/B	G	A

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

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.

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

	A	E	B	E
There’ll be time	enough for	countin’	when the dealin’s	done

	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

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

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
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

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-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

This lack of self control I f	ear is never ending

G	D
Controlling,	I can’t seem

C	D
To find myself a	gain

	Em	G
My walls are closing	in (without a sense of confidence I’m	convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take)

C	D
I’ve felt this way be	fore

	Em	G
So insecu	re

Em	C
Crawling in my	skin

	G	D
These	wounds, they will not	heal

Em	C
Fear is how I	fall

	G	D
Con	fusing what is	real

This time the vox on on 3 3 3 2 2 on “comfort endlessly”

Em	C
Discomfort, endlessly has	pulled itself upon me

G	D
Distracting,	reacting

Now back down to the same melody as the first verse

Em	C
Against my will I stand bes	ide my own reflection

G	D
It’s haunting,	how I can’t seem

C	D
To find myself a	gain

	Em	G
My walls are closing	in (without a sense of confidence I’m	convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take)

C	D
I’ve felt this way be	fore

This time, hold the second chord an extra measure

	Em	G
So insecu	re

Em	C
Crawling in my	skin

	G	D
These	wounds, they will not	heal

Em	C
Fear is how I	fall

	G	D
Con	fusing what is	real

Em	C
Crawling in my	skin

	G	D
These	wounds, they will not	heal

Em	C
Fear is how I	fall

	G	D	Em
Con	fusing, con	fusing what is	real

Em	C
There’s something inside me that	pulls beneath the surface

G	D
Consuming (confu	sing what is real)

Em	C
This lack of self control I f	ear is never ending

G	D
Controlling (confu	sing what is real)

Hard stop on the second “will”

When will they	go from here, when will they stop?

	G	D
I believe that f	ate has brought us h	ere

	Am7
And we should be to	gether babe, but we’re not

It’s tempting to go way up here, but that will take you very high... an Eb in the original key!

So, just do this at the same place as the other prechoruses

C	Bm7
I play it off but I’m dr	eaming of you (but I’m dreaming of you babe)

Am7	D
And I’ll keep my cool but I’m fe	igning

Growing darkness taki	ng dawn,	I was me, but now	he’s gone

Interlude

Let the E ring out, then tempo up and into the closing riff.

When doing this acoustic, I like to hit the Em’s on the and of 2, instead

of the and of 1 like the original. Spending an 8th note on D is a little

lame with a single acoustic.

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

Miranda Lambert - Gunpowder and Lead

If I play in G, which sounds better on guitar,

I go down an octave for the chorus. Or I play

in D, which sounds better for my voice, and go

up to the chorus (which is lots of 1). The highest

note that matters is the b3.

In D or E, ignore all the slash chords and add9’s.

And start slooooow, the chorus is a lot of words.

Misc - Over the Rainbow (hybrid)

This is a hybrid of the modern and traditional arrangements, and my personal preference.

It’s basically the traditional verse with the modern chorus.

Vox start on the 1.

Vocal note: lull(e)a (e)by (a)hi (c)hi. I find the first ‘e’ (v)

easy to find, but my instinct is to move right up. The ‘by’ is

the same note.

Paper Lace - Billy Don’t Be a Hero

Paper Lace in C, Bo Donaldson in Bb, I play in D capo 3

Lyrics and chords here follow the Bo Donaldson version

Vox on 5 1 1 1 of the chord on “the marching band”

Em7	A7
The marchin’ band came	down along Main Street

D

The soldier blues fell in behind

Em7	A7
I looked across and	there I saw Billy

D

Waiting to go and join the line

Vox up to the 5 on “and”

Em7	A7
And with her head u	pon his shoulder

Em7	A7
His young and lovely	fiancee

Back down to the regular melody

Em7	A7
From where I stood I	saw she was cryin’

Em7	G	A7
And through her tears I	heard her	say

D	Dmaj7	Em7
Billy, don’t be a	hero, don’t be a	fool with your life

A7	D
Billy, don’t be a hero, come back and	make me your wife

	D	D7	G	Gm
And a	s he started to	go, she said,	Billy keep your head	low

D	Em7	A	D
Billy, don’t be	hero,	come back to	me

D

Em7	A7
The soldier blues were	trapped on a hillside

D

The battle raging all around

Em7	A7
The sergeant cried we’ve	got to hang on boys

D

We’ve got to hold this piece of ground

Em7	A7
I need a volun	teer to ride up

Em7	A7
And bring us back some	extra men

Em7	A7
And Billy’s hand was	up in a moment

Em7	G	A7
Forgettin’ all the	words she	said

Original changes hey here, I don’t, it’s a silly key change

D	Dmaj7	Em7
Billy, don’t be a	hero, don’t be a	fool with your life

A7	D
Billy, don’t be a hero, come back and	make me your wife

And a	s he started to	go, she said,	Billy keep your head	low

D	Em7	A	D
Billy, don’t be	hero,	come back to	me

D

Let ring

Em7	A7
I heard his fianc	ee got a letter

Dmaj7	Bm7
That told how Billy d	ied that day

Em7	A7
The letter said that	he was a hero

Dmaj7	Bm7
She should be proud he	died that way

Can’t count the years one hand

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

Cause after all this	time

I’m	still into	you

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

to go up, but you don’t.

I’m into	you, I’m into you

	F	G
And baby even on our	worst nights

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

	F
Yeah after all this	time

Hard stop on “still”

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

And after all this	time

I’m	still into	you

Paul McCartney - Maybe I’m Amazed

Verse originally in Bb, I play in G if I want to work, otherwise

C capo 3.

If you’re capo’d, be ready to find those 9’s. And on guitar, just play

a 7 instead of the #9.

Intro, the first chord is really just fading in,

and the progression really starts at the second chord.

F#	B/D#	Bm/D	C#m7	F#7

Vox on the 5 of the first chord, just up a step on “love”

G	D/F#	A	E/A
Maybe I’m am	azed at the way you l	ove me all the t	ime

G	D/F#	A
And maybe I’m afr	aid of the way I lo	ve you

This time vox on the 6 of the chord on “pulled”

G	D/F#	A	E/A
Maybe I’m ama	zed at the way you pu	lled me out of t	ime

	G	D/F#
You h	ung me on a l	ine

Vox *stay* on the 6 of the chord on “maybe” (A if the chord is D)

	F	C/E	A
And m	aybe I’m amazed at the w	ay I really n	eed you

B	Bmaj7
Maybe I’m a	man

	B9
Maybe I’m a l	onely man who’s in the middle of something

E	B	B(#9)
That he doesn’t really underst	and

B	Bmaj7
Maybe I’m a	man

	B9
And maybe you’re the	only woman who could ever help me

I skip the “ooh’s” at the end of this line

E	B/D#	Bm/D	C#m7	F#7
Baby won’t you help me to underst	and

Solo on verse chords, acoustic I usually skip this and the following chorus.

Can also do it on doo doo, etc.

G	D/F#	A	E/A
G	D/F#	A
G	D/F#	A	E/A
G	D/F#
F	C	A

B	Bmaj7
Maybe I’m a	man

	B9
Maybe I’m a l	onely man who’s in the middle of something

E	B	B(#9)
That he doesn’t really underst	and

B	Bmaj7
Maybe I’m a	man

	B9
And maybe you’re the	only woman who could ever help me

E	B/D#	Bm/D	C#m7	F#7
Baby won’t you help me to underst	and

G	D/F#	A	E/A
Maybe I’m am	azed at the way you’re	with me all the	time

G	D/F#	A
Maybe I’m a	fraid of the way I	need you

G	D/F#	A	E/A
Maybe I’m a	mazed at the way you	help me sing my	song

	G	D/F#
You	right me when I’m	wrong

	F	C/E	A
And	maybe I’m amazed at the	way I really n	eed you

If I skipped the previous chorus, I’ll do this one with lyrics, else do this on “yeah”

B	Bmaj7
Maybe I’m a	man

	B9
Maybe I’m a l	onely man who’s in the middle of something

E	B	B(#9)
That he doesn’t really underst	and

B	Bmaj7
Maybe I’m a	man

	B9
And maybe you’re the	only woman who could ever help me

End here acoustic

E	B/D#	Bm/D	C#m7	F#7
Baby won’t you help me to underst	and

Peter, Paul, and Mary - I Dig Rock and Roll Music

Tricky to get this to sound not stupid without percussion.

I try to mix up the D7 in as many positions as I can and be

percussive about it, and mix in D9’s and D7#9’s.

D7

I dig rock and roll music and I’d

Love to get the chance to play (and sing it)
I figure it's about the happiest
Sound going down today

Bm	G
The message	may not move me

Bm	G
Or mean a	great deal to me

Bm	E	A
But hey, it	feels so groovy to	say

D7

I dig the Mamas and the Papas at

“The Trip,” Sunset Strip in L.A.
And they got a good thing going
When the words don't get in the way

Bm	G
And when they’re	really wailing

Bm	G
Michelle and	Cass are sailing

Bm

Hey, they really

E	A
Nail me to the	wall

D7

I dig Donovan in a dream-like, tripped out way

His crystal images tell you ‘bout a brighter day

Bm	G
And when the	Beatles tell you

Bm	G
They’ve got a	word “love” to sell you

Bm	E	A
They mean ex	actly what they	say

D7

I dig rock and roll music

I could really get it on in that scene
I think I could say somethin'
If you know what I mean

Bm	G
But if I	really say it

Bm	G
The radi	o won’t play it

Bm	E	A
Unless I	lay it between the	lines

Sara Bareilles - Brave

Vox on 3 5 on “you can”

C

You can be amazing

C

You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

Am

You can be the outcast

Am

Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love

F	G	C
Or	you can start speaking up

C

Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do

C

And they settle ‘neath your skin

Am

Kept on the inside and no sunlight

Am

Sometimes a shadow wins

F	G
But I	wonder what would happen if you

C

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall	out

Honestly	I wanna see you be	brave

With what you want to say

Vox same note on “way” and “out”

C

Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live

Same melody, but last note is 4 instead 3

Maybe one of these days you can let the light in

Hard stop around “your brave”

F	G
Show me	how big your brave is

C

Say what you wanna say

Did you th	ink it would?

Let your words be	anything but empty

Why don’t you tell them the truth?

No instruments this chorus

It’s getting eerie quiet

Won’t stay like this for long
Even the crows start flying

C	D
They know, they	know what’s going on

Em

You could tell by the red sky

There’s something brewing
You had your chance to run and hide

C	D
I guess, I	guess you blew it

This is where I drop an octave, which is really staying about where I was

Am7

The clouds are turning gray

C	G
Better pray for your saving grace

D

It’s just a little too late

Em

I hope when the lightning strikes

	A
It h	its your right between the eyes

	C
And when the	rain pours down, better hold your breath

	D
Cause	you don’t know what’s coming next

	Em
When the t	hunder screams across the sky

	A
Gonna h	ear my name in all your lies

C	B7
Look out boy, you’d better be w	arned

This originally goes up to the 3, then way down to the 3, which is too much range for me; I just make my way *up* (not down) to the 1

	Em
This is the calm before the sto	rm

Em

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

You h	ad my heart, you took it and ripped it apart

Smash Mouth - All Star

Originally in F#, I play in G (all power chords)

This is maybe the only song where I’m not writing out all

the chords; it would be 3 pages for 4 chords.

	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, so 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

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re an	all-star, get your	game on,	go play

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re a r	ock star, get the s	how on, g	et paid

G	C	C#dim
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#dim	C
Hey now, you’re an	all-star, get your	game on,	go play

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re a r	ock star, get the s	how on, g	et paid

G	C	C#dim
All that	glitters is	gold

C	G	F	C
Only shooting s	tars	break the	mold

Bridge

G	C	C#dim	C
G	C	C#dim	C

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re an	all-star, get your	game on,	go play

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re a r	ock star, get the s	how on, g	et paid

G	C	C#dim
All that	glitters is	gold

C	G	F	C
Only shooting s	tars	break the	mold

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change

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

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re an	all-star, get your	game on,	go play

G	C	C#dim	C
Hey now, you’re a r	ock star, get the s	how on, g	et paid

G	C	C#dim
All that	glitters is	gold

C	G	F	C
Only shooting s	tars	break the	mold

G	C	C#dim

	E	A	D	A
To	shield my	pride I’ve	tried, to	cover

	E	A	D	A
This	hurt with a	show of	gladness

	E	A	D	A
But don’t	let my	show con	vince you

	E	A	D	A
That	I’ve been	happy	since you, de	cided

	E	A	D	A
To	go		oh, I	need you

E	A	D	A
So,	I’m	hurt, and I	want you to

Oh I see a man at the back as a matter of fact

His eyes are as red as the sun

Hard stop on “she”

She thinks she's the passionate one

And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Taylor Swift - Shake it Off

Originally in G, I play in G and sing down an octave.

Vox go from the low 1 up to the 5 1.5 octaves above, so I

don’t go down all the way on the chorus.

Intro percussion only, though playing the root helps find

the first vocal line.

Vox on the 5 of the key on “I”, and the 3 on “late”

	Am
I stay out too	late

	C
Got nothing in my	brain

	G
That’s what people	say, mmm

That’s what people say, mmm

	Am
I go on too many	dates

	C
But I can’t make ‘em	stay

	G
At least that’s what people	say, mmm

That’s what people say, mmm

	Am
But I keep	cruisin’

	C
Can’t stop won’t stop	moving

	G
It’s like I got this	music in my mind

No hard stop this time

	G
Saying	it’s gonna be alright

In the low octave, start going back up on the third “play”

	Am
‘Cause the	players gonna play, play, play, play, play

	C
And the	haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate baby

G

I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off

Percussion out

	Am
I never miss a	beat

	C
I’m lightning on my	feet

Percussion back in

	G
And that’s what they don’t	see, mmm

That’s what they don’t see, mmm

	Am
I’m dancing on my	own (dancing on my own)

	G
I	shake it off, I shake it off, I I

I shake it off, I shake it off

Percussion only in the original, but way less awkward acoustic

to keep the chords going. Talk over the first part, sing the

second part on the chorus melody.

Am

Hey, hey, hey, just think

While you’ve been gettin’ down and out

	C
About the l	iars and dirty, dirty cheats of the world

You	could’ve been gettin’ down instead

Hard stops on “this”, “sick”, and “beat”

Gold crocodiles (oh ay oh)

The blonde waitresses take their trays

They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh ay oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books

They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh ay oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say

Way oh ay oh, way oh ay oh

If you want to find all the cops

They’re hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh ay oh)
They spin the club, cruise down the block

The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh ay oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

Am7	Dsus4	D7
Rocky had come equip	ped with a	gun

	G7	C	C/B
To	shoot off the legs of his	rival

	G7	C	C/B
And	Rocky collapsed in the	corner

With da da da

Am7	Dsus4	D7	G7	C	C/B

	Am7	Dsus4	D7
Now the	doctor came in	stinking of gin

The Beatles - Something

After the first ‘I don’t know’ in each chorus,

I do a descending A → Ab → G → Gb → F → E

I also generally ignore all the slash chords on guitar.

And I play a measure or two of C before the ‘intro’

on guitar; that F always feels like a rocky start.

Sometimes I just skip the ‘intro’. When I play

that riff on guitar, I try to be super-soft on the Eb.

F	Eb	G/D

C	Cmaj7
Something in the way she	moves

C7	F	F/E
Attracts me like no other l	over

D7	G
Something in the way she wo	os me

	Am	AmM7
I d	on’t wanna leave her now

	Am7	D9
You k	now I believe, and h	ow

F	Eb	G/D

C	Cmaj7
Somewhere in her smile she kn	ows

The Eagles - Hotel California

Originally in Bm, I play in Am

Am	E
On a dark desert highway,	cool wind in my hair

G	D
Warm smell of colitas,	rising up through the air

F	C
Up ahead in the distance,	I saw a shimmering light

Dm

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

E

I had to stop for the night

Am	E
There she stood in the doorway,	I heard the mission bell

G

And I was thinking to myself

	D
This could be	heaven or this could be hell

F	C
Then she lit up a candle	and she showed me the way

Dm

There were voices down the corridor

E

I thought I heard them say

F	C
Welcome to the Hotel Cali	fornia

	Dm
Such a	lovely place

	Am
Such a	lovely face

F	C
Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali	fornia

	Dm	E
Any	time of year, you can	find it here

Am	E
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,	she got the Mercedes bends

G	D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,	that she calls friends

F	C
How they dance in the courtyard,	sweet summer sweat

Dm	E
Some dance to remember,	some dance to forget

Am

So I called up the captain

E

Please bring me my wine

	G	D
He said,	we haven’t had that spirit here since	nineteen sixty-nine

F	C
And still those voices are calling from	far away

Dm

Wake you up in the middle of the night

E

Just to hear them say

F	C
Welcome to the Hotel Cali	fornia

	Dm
Such a	lovely place

	Am
Such a	lovely face

	F	C
We’re	livin’ it up at the Hotel Cali	fornia

	Dm	E
What a	nice surprise, bring your ali	bis

Let ring

Am

Mirrors on the ceiling

E

Pink champagne on ice

	G	D
And she said	we are all just prisoners here,	of our own device

F

And in the master’s chambers

	C
They are	gathered for the feast

Dm

They stab it with their steely knives

	E
But they	just can’t kill the beast

Back to tempo

Am

Last thing I remember

	E
I was	running for the door

G

I had to find the passage back

	D
To the	place I was before

F

Relax, said the night man

	C
We are	programmed to receive

Dm

You can check out any time you like

	E
But	you can never leave

Intro, just muck around for a bit, I usually skip the riff-ish mucking around

Am

Now muck around a little differently, this is the mucking around I prefer

Am

	Am
He was a h	ard-headed man, he was brutally handsome

And she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city

	D7
He had a	nasty reputation as a cruel dude

	Am
They	said he was ruthless, they said he was crude

	E7
They had	one thing in common, they were good in bed

	D7
She’d say,	faster, faster, the lights are turnin’ red

Am

Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind

Am

Life in the fast lane, mmm

Am

Eager for action and hot for the game

The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills

	D7
There were	lines on the mirror, lines on her face

	Am
She	pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race

E7

Out every evening, until it was light

	D7
He was	too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it

Am

Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind

Am

Life in the fast lane, mmm

Am

Life in the fast lane, everything, all the time

Am

Life in the fast lane, uh-huh

Now a real I major

A

Am

Blowin’ and burnin,’ blinded by thirst

They didn’t see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse
She said, listen, baby, you can hear the engine rev
We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddam thing

	D7
He said,	call the doctor, I think I’m gonna crash

	Am
The	doctor say he’s comin’, but you gotta pay him cash

	E7
They went	rushin’ down that freeway, messed around and got lost

D7

They didn’t care, they were just dyin’ to get off

Am

Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind

Busted, down on Bourbon Street

The Hollies - Bus Stop

Originally in Am, I play in Em capo 2

Optionally keep this pattern going throughout the verse

Em	D/F#
	x2

Em

Bus stop, wet day, she’s there, I say

Em

Please share my umbrella

Em

Bus stops, bus goes, she stays, love grows

Em

Under my umbrella

G	D	Em
All that	summer	we enjoyed it

Cmaj7	Bm7
Wind and rain and	shine

Em

That umbrella, we employed it

	Em	Bm	Em
By	August,	she was	mine

G	F#7	Bm	Bm/A	G
Every morning	I would see her	waiting	at the	stop

	Em6	F#7	Bm
Sometimes she’d	shopped and she would	show me what she	bought

G	F#7	Bm	Bm/A	G
Other people	stared as if we	were both	quite in	sane

	Em6	F#7	Bm
Someday my	name and hers are	going to be the	same

Em

That’s the way the whole thing started

Em

Silly but it’s true

Em

Thinkin’ of a sweet romance

	Em
Beg	inning in a queue

G	D	Em
Came the	sun the	ice was melting

Cmaj7	Bm7
No more sheltering	now

Em

Nice to think that that umbrella

Em	Bm	Em
Led me	to a	vow

Em	Em/G

This really happens, though I don’t recommend it

Em	E

The House Jacks - Gone

Originally in D, I play in G.

Vox on the 6 on “blue”, and in G, go *up* instead of down on “suns don’t rise”

	G	Dsus4	D
Bluish	gray suns don’t	rise

	G	G7	C	Cm
Bathing deep	in the stolen	dreams from borrowed	times

	G	Dsus4	D
The morning	breaks to vacant	signs	of

C	Cm	G
You

	G	Dsus4	D
And the shallow	pools as if the tears were	mine

	G	G7	C	Cm
Shade the	waves’	reflections left	behind

	G	Dsus4	D
And I search my	faith to never	find	a

C	Cm	G
Clue

	G	D
And now you’re	gone, somehow you’re	gone

	C	G
You were my	midnight, you were my	dawn

	Em	Am7	Dsus4	D
You were the	shoulder that my	life leaned	on

	G	B7
You were my	world, you were my	song

	Em	Em/D	A
You’re every	thing I	could depend	on

	C	G
And	now all you are is	gone

	G	Dsus4	D
And I passed the	blame to pass the	time

	G	G7	C	Cm
To cross my	heart and	walk across that	line

	G	Dsus4	D
Whose will is	this which poet’s	lines	pull at

C	Cm	G
You

	G	D
And now you’re	gone, somehow you’re	gone

	C	G
You were my	midnight, you were my	dawn

You were the	shoulder that my	life leaned	on

You’re every	thing I	could depend	on

Bu-u-u-ut	now all you are is	gone

The Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine

Originally in G capo 2, so really A, I play in G.

G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D

Melody on the 5 (D)

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
I’m	trying to tell you	something about my	life

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
Maybe	give me insight	between black and	white

	D11	C
The	best thing you’ve ever done for	me

	D11	C
Is to	help me take my life less serious	ly

It’s only life

G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
After all

Harmony enters on the 1 (G)

G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
Well the darkness has a	hunger that’s in	satiable

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
And the	lightness has a	call that’s hard to	hear

D11	C
I wrap my fear around me like a	blanket

	D11	C
I	sailed my ship of safety till I	sank it

	G	C	G
I’m crawling on your shore

High part on F#, low on A

D	Cadd9	G
I went to the doctor, I	went to the mou	ntains

D	Cadd9	G
I looked to the children, I	drank from	the fountain

D11	C
There’s more than one answer to these	questions

C	G
Pointing me in a crooked	line

Low part on A, high on D

D11	C
The less I seek my source for some de	finitive

High part on E, low on C. It’s actually the low part that

shoots up to high G, but usually easier to have the high

singer do that.

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
The closer I	am to fine

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
The closer I	am to fine

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
I	went to see the	doctor of phil	osophy

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
With a	poster of Ras	putin and a	beard down to his	knee

	D11	C
He	never did marry or	see a B-grade movie

	D11	C
He	graded my performance, he	said he could see through me

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
I spent	four years prostrate	to the higher	mind, got my	paper

	G	C	G
And I was	free

D	Cadd9	G
I went to the doctor, I	went to the mou	ntains

D	Cadd9	G
I looked to the children, I	drank from	the fountain

D11	C
There’s more than one answer to these	questions

C	G
Pointing me in a crooked	line

D11	C
The less I seek my source for some de	finitive

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
The closer I	am to fine

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
The closer I	am to fine

Bridge over pre-chorus chords

D11	C	D11	C	G

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
I	stopped by the	bar at 3 a.	m

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
To seek	solace in a	bottle or	possibly a	friend

	D11	C
I	woke up with a headache like my	head against a board

D11	C
Twice as cloudy as I’d been the	night before

	G	C	G
And I went in seeking	clarity

D	Cadd9	G
I went to the doctor, I	went to the mou	ntains

D	Cadd9	G
I looked to the children, I	drank from	the fountain

D	Cadd9	G
We go to the doctor, we	go to the mou	ntains

D	Cadd9	G
We look to the children, we	drink from	the fountain

D	Cadd9	G
We go to the bible, we	go through the	workout

Let ring on “stand up” and “lookout”

D	Cadd9	G
We read up on revival and we	stand up for the	lookout

	D11	C
There’s	more than one answer to these	questions

	G
Pointing me in a	crooked line

	D11	C
The	less I seek my source for some	definitive

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
The closer I	am to fine

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
The closer I	am to fine

	G	Am7sus4	Cadd9	D
The closer I	am to fine

The Jackson Five - I Want You Back

Originally in G#, I play in A down an octave, possibly capo 1 or 2

Highest note is the 5 (on OH baby give)

Highest note that’s held a long time is the 3

A	A/C#	D
F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm7	E	A

Vox on 5 on “when”, on the 6 of the key on “self” and “didn’t”.

That means you’re *not* going up from “self” to “didn’t”, even

though you want to.

A	D
When I had you to myself, I	didn’t want you around

	F#m	A/C#	D	A
Those	pretty	faces a	lways m	ade you

	Bm7	E7	A
S	tand out i	n a c	rowd

	A	D
Then	someone picked you from the bunch, one	glance was all it took

F#m	A/C#	D	A
Now it’s	much too l	ate for m	e

	Bm7	E7	A
To t	ake a s	econd l	ook

A	E/G#	F#m	E	D	A/C#
Oh	baby	give me one	more	chance

Won’t	you p	lease l	et m	e

Back in your heart

A	E/G#	F#m	E	D	A/C#
Oh d	arlin’ I	was b	lind to l	et you go

	Bm7	E
(L	et you go	baby)

	F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm	E	A
Well	now	since I’	ve	seen yo	u	in his	arms

(I want you back)

A

Yes I do now (I want you back)

A

Ooh ooh baby (I want you back)

A

Yeah no no no (I want you back)

A

No no no no

A	D
Tryin’ to live without your love, is	one long sleepless night

F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm7	E7	A
Let me	show you g	irl	that I	know w	rong from r	ight

A	D
Every street you walk on, I leave	tear stains on the ground

F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm7	E7	A
Follow	ing the g	irl,	I didn’t e	ven w	ant ar	ound

Let me tell you now

A	E/G#	F#m	A	D	A/C#	Bm7
Oh	baby	all I	need is	one more	chance

	Bm7	E
(To	show you that I	love you)

A	E/G#	F#m	E	D	A/C#
Oh d	arlin’ I	was b	lind to l	et you go

(L	et you go	baby)

Note different rhythm here, downbeat on *IN* his arms

	F#m	A/C#	D	A	A
Well	now	since I		see you	in his arms

Bass/vox break, mostly on the I chord with some buh buh buh

A	E/G#	F#m	E	D	A/C#
Oh d	arlin’ I	was b	lind to l	et you go

	Bm7	E
(L	et you go	baby)

	F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm	E	A
Well	now	since I’	ve	seen yo	u	in his	arms

(I want you back)

Original ad libs on chorus chords to fade, I prefer to end on:

A

Yes I do now (I want you back)

A

Ooh ooh baby (I want you back)

A

Yeah no no no (I want you back)

Hard stop before “I want you back”

A

No no no no (I want you back)

Weird Al - The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota

Originally in Eb, I play in D

Intro

D

Vox on the 3

	D
Well, I	had two weeks of vacation time coming

	G	D
After	working all year down at Big Roy’s Heating and	Plumbing

	Am
So o	ne night when my family and I were gathered ‘round the dinner table

	D	D9
I said, "	Kids, if you could go a	nywhere in this great big world now

G

Where’d you like to go ta?"

Vox on the 1 of the chord on “biggest”

	D	C	G	D
They said, “	Dad, we wanna see the	biggest ball of	twine in Minne	sota”

	C	G	D
They picked the	biggest ball of t	wine in Minn	esota

D

	D
So the v	ery next day we loaded up the car

	G
With	potato skins and pickled wieners

D

Crossword puzzles, Spider-Man comics

	A
And	mama’s home made rhubarb pie

Vox on the 3 on “pulled”, 5 on “drive”, down to the 1 of the chord (4 of the key) on “neighbors”

D	D7	G
Pulled out of the	driveway and the	neighbors

	Gm	D	A
They all wa	ved good-	bye and so began our three day j	ourney

D	D7	G	G
We picked up a	guy holding a	sign that said, “Twine	ball or bust”

	D	A	D
He s	melled real bad and he s	aid his name was	Bernie

Vox down to the 3 of the chord

C	D
I put in a Slim Whitman tape, my	wife put on a brand new hair net

C	D
Kids were in the back seat jumping	up and down, yelling “are we there yet?”

	G	Em	D	Bm
And a	ll of us were	joined together	in one common	thought

	A	D
As we	rolled down the long and winding interstate in our ‘53 DeS	oto

	C	G	D
We’re gonna see the	biggest ball of	twine in Minnes	ota

	C	G	D
We’re headin’ for the	biggest ball of	twine in Minn	esota

D

	D
Oh, we couldn’t w	ait to get there

	G	D
So we	drove straight through for three whole days and	nights

	A
Of course, we stopped for more pickled	wieners now and then

	D	G
The s	cenery was just so pretty,	boy I wish the kids could’ve seen it

	D
But you c	an’t see out of the side of the car

	A
Because the w	indows are completely covered

	D	A	D
With the	decals from all the places where	we’ve already	been

	G	D
Like	Elvis-O-Rama, the	Tupperware Museum

	A	D
The	Boll Weevil Monument and	Cranberry World

	G	D
The S	huffleboard Hall Of Fame,	Poodle Dog Rock

	E	A
And the	Mecca of Albino S	quirrels

	G	D
We’ve been to	ghost towns, theme parks,	wax museums

	A	D
And the	place where you can drive through the m	iddle of a tree

	G	D
We’ve seen	alligator farms and tara	ntula ranches

	E	A
But there’s s	till one thing we gotta s	ee

	D
Well, we c	rossed the state line about 6:39

	G	D
And we	saw the sign that said, “Twine Ball exit, f	ifty miles”

	D
Oh, the k	ids were so happy they started singing

	G	D
“99 Bot	tles Of Beer On The Wall” for the twenty-seventh	time that day

Vox on the 5

	D
So, we p	ulled off the road at the last chance gas station

	G	D
G	ot a few more pickled wieners and a diet chocolate s	oda

	C	G	D
On our way to see the	biggest ball of	twine in Minn	esota

	C	G	D
We’re gonna see the	biggest ball of	twine in Minne	sota

D

D	G
Finally, at 7:37 early W	ednesday evening

	D	C	G
As the sun was setting in the M	innesota sky	→

D

Out in the distance, on the horizon

	G	D
It ap	peared to me like a vision before my u	nbelieving eyes

vox on the 5

	D	C
I p	arked the car and walked with awe-filled	reverence

	G	D	D
To-w	ard that glorious, h	uge majestic sphere

vox back to the 3

	D	C	G
I was j	ust so overwhelmed by its sheer imm	ensity

	D	D
I had to	pop myself a beer

	G	C	G
Yes, o	n these hallowed grounds, open t	en to eight on	weekdays

	D
In a l	ittle shrine, under a makeshift pagoda

	C	G	D
There sits the	biggest ball of	twine in	Minnesota

	C	G	D
I tell you, it’s the	biggest ball of	twine in Mi	nnesota

D

D	C	G	D	C	G
Oh, what on	Earth would make a m	an decide to d	o that kind of thing?

D	C	G	D	C	G
Oh, windin’ up t	wenty-one thousand, o	ne hundred forty pounds of s	tring

Let ring

D	C	G	D	C	G
What was he trying to prove?	W	ho was he trying	to impress?

D	C	G
Why did he build it? How did he do it?	It’s anybody’s	guess

D	C	G
Where did he get the twine? What was	goin’ through his m	ind?

	C	G	A
Did it	just seem like a	good idea at the t	ime?

	D
Well, we w	alked up beside it and I warned the kids

	G	D
“Now, you	better not touch it, those ropes are there for a re	ason”

	D	G
I said, "M	aybe if you’re good, I’ll tie it to the back of our c	ar

	D
And we can take it home", but I was only t	easin’

	D
Then we w	ent to the gift shop and stood in line

	C	G
Bought a	souvenir miniature	ball of twine

	D	G
Some w	indow decals and anything else they’d	sell us

	D
And I b	ought a couple postcards

	A7
“Greetings from the twine ball,	wish you were here”

	D
Won’t the folks back home be j	ealous?

	G	D
I gave our	camera to Bernie and we	stood by the ball

	A	D
And we a	ll gathered ‘round and said “ch	eese”

	G	D
Then B	ernie ran away with my	brand new Instamatic

	E	A
But at	least we got our memori	es

D

So we all just stared at the ball for a while

	G
And my	eyes got moist but I said with a smile

	D	A
“Kids	this here’s what America’s all	about”

	D
Then I s	tarted feelin’ kinda gooey inside

	G
And I fe	ll on my knees and I cried and cried

	D	A	D
And that	’s when those se	curity guards threw us o	ut

	G
You know, I	bet if we unraveled that sucker

	C	G	D
It’d	roll all the way down to	Fargo, North Dak	ota

	C	G	D
‘Cause it’s the	biggest ball of	twine in Minne	sota

	C	G	D
I’m talkin’ ‘bout the	biggest ball of t	wine in M	innesota

D
