I’m a Ethouroughbred that’s what she said

In the Aback of my truck bed

As I was gEettin’ buzzed on suds

Out on Asome back country road

The banjo does the Secret Agent Man riff here, not really necessary but the chords here are a nod to the banjo part

We were Eflying high, fE(b6)ine as wine

AHaving ourselves a A7#9big and rich time

And I Ewas going, just aE(b6)bout as far as she’d Alet me go A7#9

Spoken, with harmony the high octave

But Eher evaluation

Of my cAowboy reputation

Had me bEegging for salvation

All nighAt long

So I Etook her out giggin’ frogs

IntrodAuced her to my old bird dog

Hard stop on “think

And Esang her every Wilie Nelson song I could Athink of

And we made love

And I Esaddle up my horse

And I Aride into the city

I Emake a lot of noise

‘Cause the Agirls they are so pretty

ERiding up and down Broadway

On my Aold stud Leroy

And the girls say D→ Esave a horse, Gride a Acowboy

Everybody says D→ Esave a horse, Gride a Acowboy

AmToo high, can’t come down, Amlosing my head

Spinning Am‘round and ‘round

CE7Do you feel me now Am

Vox on the 2 on “taste”

With a Amtaste of your lips I’m Con a ride

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

F7You’re toxic, E7I’m slipping under

With a Amtaste of a poison pCaradise

Bruce Springsteen - Pay Me My Money Down (2006)

Springsteen in G, I play in E. Vox mostly on the 5.

Intro

Well I Ethought I heard the captain say

Pay me my B7money down

Tomorrow is our sailing day

Pay me my Emoney down

EPay me, pay me

Pay me my B7money down

Pay me or go to jail

Pay me my Emoney down

ESoon as the boat was clear of the bar

Pay me B7money down

He knocked me down with the end of a spar

Pay me my Emoney down

EPay me, pay me

Pay me my B7money down

Pay me or go to jail

Pay me my Emoney down

EIf I’d been a rich man’s son

Pay me my B7money down

I’d sB7it on the river and watch it run

Pay me my Emoney down

EPay me, pay me

Pay me my B7money down

Pay me or go to jail

Pay me my Emoney down

Springsteen does this verse in a different key, but this may or may not

really be worth it.

Well, GI wish I was Mr. Gates

Pay me my D7money down

They’d haul my money in in crates

Pay me my Gmoney down

GPay me, pay me

Pay me my D7money down

Pay me or go to jail

Pay me my Gmoney down

Well, Eforty days and nights at sea

Pay me my B7money down

Captain worked every last dollar out of me

Pay me my B7money down

Pay me or go to jail

Pay me my Emoney down

EPay me, pay me

Pay me my B7money down

Pay me or go to jail

Pay me my Emoney down

Careless Hearts - 22 Fillmore (2006)

Guitar enters on “air brakes”

And then the hiss of the Gair brakes

On the twenty-two FCillmore

Underneath our Amwindow

Breaks up my Creverie

I roll over and lGook at you

You’re breathing qCuietly

In the silent dAmust fall

Of a morning lCight D

Your face is woGnderful

I can’t take my eCyes away

Suddenly yours oAmpen up

And a brand new dCay begins

Bm7Am7

The breeze is blowing like wGinter

On the corner by the bCus stop

In my hand-me-down pAmea coat

You put your hands in mCine

I try to light up a cGigarette

But these matches are wCorthless

Between you and these dAmamn things

I don’t stand a cChance D

So we walk up to MGission Street

All the way up to MCission Street

And I may have to Amkiss you

For the rest of my lCife

BmAll the days when you were wAmorking far away

BmI’m as empty as a gAmlove

BmYou fill me up when you retAmurn and I can say

That I fCeel a certain purpose in your lDove

And then the hiss of the Gair brakes

On the twenty-two FCillmore

Underneath our Amwindow

Breaks up my Creverie

I roll over and lGook at you

You’re breathing qCuietly

And aAmll I know is all I know

Is aCll I have to saDy

Is I will lGove you

As long as CI can breathe

Out oAmn a limb that was too thin

And IC‘m already fallin’ for you

Careless Hearts - Impossible to Dream (2006)

I’m 70% confident in most of the lyrics...

EDCA

EIt’s impossible to dDo, improbable to feCel

Confuses me no eAnd, the message it sEends

Not logical to pDretend

Shouldn’t not come tCo, the end of a good tArend

EmI’m okay now you’re nDot afraid to dream

ANew things in life so Equickly it seems

EmLie awake and have aDnother cup of tea

AFrom a place with no waEter

ETime goes by so fast, it’s tDime

Morale is almost tCaken

Taken up by yAou

EComfort and beauty could surroDund

The lives on a paCth

A habit so be foAund

ANew things in life so Equickly it seems

EmLie awake and have aDnother cup of tea

EWhere, did your dreams gDo

You weren’t afraid to dream and flCow

Now it merely sAeems, impossible in dEreams

Band back in

I need a chord that sounds like hDow

How I feel impossiblCy, change improbabAly, a possibility

Disney - How Far I'll Go (2016)

Originally in E, I play in E capo 2

EI’ve been staring at the edge of the watBsus4er

‘Long as I can reC#mmember, never really knowing wAsus2hy

EI wish I could be the perfect dBsus4aughter

But I come back to the C#mwater, no matter how hard I trAsus2y

Every tC#murn I take, every trail I track

Every pB/D#ath I make, every road leads back

To the pElace I know, where I cannot go

Vox in 1 5 3 of the minor chord on “long to be”

Where I loAmng to be

See the lEine where the sky meets the sea, it Bsus4calls me

And no one kC#m7nows, how far it gAsus2oes

If the wiEnd in my sail on the sea stays behBsus4ind me

One day I’ll C#m7know, if I Amgo there’s just no telling how far I’ll Ego

No pause here, right into the next verse

EI know, everybody on this iF#msland seems so happy

On this islC#mand, everything is by deAsus2sign

EI know, everybody on this iF#msland has a role on this islC#mand

So maybe I can roll with mAsus2ine

I can lC#mead with pride, I can make us strong

I’ll be sB/D#atisfied if I play along

But the vEoice inside sings a different song

What is wAmrong with me?

See the lEight as it shines on the sea, it’s bBsus4linding

But no one knC#m7ows, how deep it gAsus2oes

And it sEeems like it’s calling out to me, so come fBsus4ind me

I can’t decide whether it’s really a iv or a IV this time, so calling it a IVsus2

And let me kC#mnow, what’s beAsus2yond that line, will I cross that line?

See the lFine where the sky meets the sea? It caCsus4lls me

In GCalifornia then Vietnam

And he Ctold her of his heart, he might be in love

And Gall the things he was so scared of

He Gsaid when it’s getting kinda rough over here

I Gthink of that day sitting down at the pier

And I Cclose my eyes and see your pretty Gsmile

And Cone name read and nobody really Gcared

But a Fpretty little girl Cwith a bow in her Ghair

Eliza Doolittle - Pack Up (2010)

Intro

EF#mF#mE

Vox on the 3 on “tired”

I get Etired, and upset

And I’m F#mtrying to care a little less

When I Google I only get depressed

I was taught to C#m7dodge those issues, BI was told

Don’t Eworry, there’s no doubt

There’s always F#msomething to cry about

When you’re stuck in an angry crowd

Vox on the 6 of the chord on “think”

They don’t Athink what they say before they Edimopen their mouths

You gotta Epack up your troubles in your old kit bag

And F#mbury them beneath the sea

I don’t care what the people may say

What the people may say about Eme

EPack up your troubles get your old grin back

Don’t F#mworry about the cavalry

I don’t care what the whisperers say

‘Cause they whisper too loud for Eme

Hot Etopic, maybe I should F#mdrop it

It’s a touchy subject

And I like to C#m7tiptoe ‘round the Bstuff goin’ down

You got Epenny, but no pound

So if your F#mbusiness is running out

It’s not my business to talk about

They don’t Athink what to say, before they Edimopen their mouths

You gotta Epack up your troubles in your old kit bag

And F#mbury them beneath the sea

I don’t care what the people may say

What the people may say about Eme

EPack up your troubles get your old grin back

Don’t F#mworry about the cavalry

I don’t care what the whisperers say

‘Cause they whisper too loud for Eme

EPack up your troubles in your old kit bag

And F#mbury them beneath the sea

I don’t care what the people may say

EPack up your troubles get your old grin back

Don’t F#mworry about the cavalry

There’s vomit Fon his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti

He’s nervous,Ambut on the surface he looks calm and ready

To drop boFmbs, but he keeps on forgetting

What he wrAmote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

He opeFns his mouth, but the words won’t come out

He’s choAmking, how, everybody’s joking now

The clock’s rFun out, time’s up, over, blao

Snap baAmck to reality, oh, there goes gravity

FOh, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he’s so mad but he

A noFrmal life is boring, but superstardom’s

AmClose to post mortem, it only grows harder

FHomie grows hotter, he blows it’s all over

He’s Fknown as the globetrotter lonely roads, god only

KAmnows he’s grown farther from home, he’s no father

These Fhoes don’t want him no Gmore, he’s cold product

Nose-dFove and sold nada, so the soap opera is

I G#guess what I’m saying is there ain’t no better reason

To D#rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons

It’s Fmwhat we aim to do

Our C#name is our virtue

Let chords ring

But G#I won’t hesiD#tate

It Gdoesn’t even matter how hard you try

FKeep that in mind I designed this rhyme

To Gexplain in due time

All I knoAmw, time is a valuable thing

GWatch it fly by as the pendulum swings

FWatch it count down to the end of the day

The clock tGicks life away

It’s so unrAmeal, didn’t look out below

GWatch the time go right out the window

FTrying to hold on, but ya didn’t even know

Or Gwasted it all just to

Watch you Amgo, I kept everything inside

And even tGhough I tried, it all fell apart

FWhat it meant to me will eventually be

A memorGy of a time when

Vox on the 2 on “hard” (!)

But in the Gend it doesn’t even Fmatter

I had to Amfall to lose it Call

But in the Gend it doesn’t even Fmatter

AmOne thing, I don’t know why

It Gdoesn’t even matter how hard you try

FKeep that in mind I designed this rhyme

To Gremind myself how

I tried so Amhard, in spite of the way you were mocking me

GActing like I was part of your property

FRemembering all the times you fought with me

GI’m surprised it got so (Amfar)

AmThings aren’t the way they were before

GYou wouldn’t even recognize me anymore

FNot that you knew me back then but

It aGll comes back to me

In the Amend you kept everything inside

And even Gthough I tried, it all fell apart

FWhat it meant to me will eventually be

Miranda Lambert - Gunpowder and Lead (2008)

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.

Make you feel, make you feel better

CIt’s not a walk in the park

To love each other

But when our fingers interAmlock

Can’t deny, can’t deny you’re worth it

Quiet

Cause after all this Ftime

I’m Gstill into Cyou

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

to go up, but you don’t.

I should be over all the Fbutterflies G

I’m into Cyou, I’m into you

And baby even on our Fworst nights G

Hard stop on “still”

I’m Gstill into Cyou

CRecount the night that I first

Met your mother

And on the drive back to my Amhouse

I told you that, I told you that I loved ya

CYou felt the weight of the world

Fall off your shoulder

And to your favorite Amsong

We sang along to the start of forever

And after all this Ftime

I’m Gstill into Cyou

I should be over all the Fbutterflies G

But I’m into Cyou, I’m into you

And baby even on our Fworst nightsG

I’m into Cyou, I’m into you

Let ‘em wonder how we Fgot this farG

No hard stop this time

I’m Gstill into Cyou

And Amone of those is Gyou and I

Parsonsfield - Weeds or Wildflowers (2013)

Originally in B, I play in G

Intro

GBCDx2

Vox on the 3 on “long”

Well I came aGlong to Bfind a lCittle peace of mGind

NegleGctin’ all mBy duties, steppin’ oCff that straightened linGe

Now I just sGit by my froBnt door filled with indoEmlence and sA7ound

It’s like I’m waGtchin’ the weedsDgrow on my browG

And I had a pureGpotentiBal in a Csoiled white shiGrt

With lovGe enough to kiBll me, but was unsCure of its worthG

And though the nGight is Bsweetened by some risingEmof the A7moon

I’ve lived enougGh to know the baDttle’s never thrGough

Hard stop on “pass”

You passCsomething doGwn, no maDtter where or hoGw

Will there be weCeds or wGildflowers affixDed upon your bows

And there’s a cCrooked burning cGigarette rollEmin’ on your tongA7ue

Will there be weGeds or wildfloweDrs when you’re dGone

GBCDx2

Remember you traGveled through the dBesert, you trCaveled to the seGa

Lookin’ Gout on some horiBzon, asking whatCyou mean to mGe

And we aGll hang aroBund with a frEmee or toiled mA7ind

While alGl of our Dbranches entwinGe

And as I Gwatch the bBrick erCode from day to dGay

The leavGes change their Bcolors and the lCoft fills with hGay

And as a bGlade of suBnshine cuEmts across my chestA7

The blooGd beneath bDoils with unrGest

You passCsomething doGwn, no maDtter where or hoGw

Will there be weCeds or wGildflowers affixDed upon your bows

And there’s a cCrooked burning cGigarette rollEmin’ on your tongA7ue

Will there be weGeds or wildfloweDrs when you’re dGone

Bridge

With “dah”

GBCDx3

GBEmA7

Blown abCout by the wiGnd, and a woDrthless little thinGg

But the Cworld can feel the chGanges of a Dbutterfly’s wing

And so that Ccrooked burning cGigarette roEmllin’ on your tonguA7e

Will leave its wGeeds before your Dflowers yet have sGprung

With hard stops

Will there be weGeds or wildfloweDrs when you’re dGone
