[E] [F#m] [A] [E]
first note of melody is G# of the E chord (first fret on G string)
[Verse 1]
[E] Twenty-five years and my life is still
[F#m] Trying to get up that great big hill
Of [A] hope for a desti [E] nation
I [E] realized quickly when I knew I should
That the [F#m] world was made up of this brotherhood
Of [A] man, for whatever that [E] means
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I [E] cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to [F#m] get it all out, what's in my head
and I [A] - I am feeling a little pe [E] culiar
And so I [E] wake in the morning and I step outside
and I [F#m] take a deep breath and I get real high and
I [A] scream from the top of my lungs "What's going [E] on?"
[Chorus]
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"

And I [E] try, oh my God, do I [F#m] try
I try all the [A] time, in this insti [E] tution
And I [E] pray, oh my God, do I [F#m] pray
I pray every single [A] day
For a revo [E] lution
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I [E] cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to [F#m] get it all out, what's in my head
and I [A] - I am feeling a little pe [E] culiar
And so I [E] wake in the morning and I step outside
and I [F#m] take a deep breath and I get real high and
I [A] scream from the top of my lungs "What's going [E] on?"
[Chorus]
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"

America-Horse With No Name
[Intro - BPM 123 - No drums]
Em Em D6/9 (200200) D6/9 x2
[Verse 1]
On the [Em] first part of the [D6/9] journey
I was [Em] looking at all the [D6/9] life
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
The [Em] first thing I met was a [D6/9] fly with a buzz
And the [Em] sky with no [D6/9] clouds
The [Em] heat was hot and the [D6/9] ground was dry
But the [Em] air was full of [D6/9] sound
[Chorus - Slap on snare drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2 - Slap on snare drums]
After [Em] two days in the [D6/9] desert sun
My [Em] skin began to turn [D6/9] red
After [Em] three days in the [D6/9] desert fun
I was [Em] looking at a river [D6/9] bed
And the [Em] story it told of a [D6/9] river that flowed
Made me [Em] sad to think it was [D6/9] dead
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
La, [Em9] la, la lala [Dmaj9] la la la, la, la
La, l [Em9] a, la lala l [Dmaj9] a la la, la, la
[Verse 3 - Drums stop]
After [Em] nine days I let the [D6/9] horse run free
'Cause the [Em] desert had turned to [D6/9] sea
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
(bass drum in)
The [Em] ocean is a desert with its [D6/9] life underground
And a [Em] perfect disguise [D6/9] above
Under the [Em] cities lies a [D6/9] heart made of ground
But the [Em] humans will give no [D6/9] love
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la

[Additional notes]
1 bar in - Bridge - Am7 is on 3 of 2nd bar - loads of this
almost like groups of 2/4 and 4/4 which overall add up to 4/4
- this conceptually may be the best approach - for now just follow Guido

But they [Em] never did, ever lived,
ebbing and flowing, in [Em] hibited, limited

then play D string thumb with thumb - repeat pattern (sort of) for all other chords
OR JUST DOWNPICK THE BASS NOTE WITH FIRST FINGER JUST USING A PLECTRUM THEN STRUM THE REST
OF THE CHORD WHILST PLAYING THE SNARE - WITH EACH CHORD PLAY ROOT THEN 5TH AFTER - SO WITH
C YOU ARE PLAYING C/G EVERY SECOND BASS NOTE - SOUNDS GOOD
[Verse 1 - Finger pick with bass drum on all quarter notes - Root to 5th where possible]
(Finger picking pattern is pama - play just 2 treble strings in up up down pattern)

[Verse 2 - Slap snare so gentler feel]
[G] All my memories [Em] gather 'round her [D] ,

I [E] hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since [E7] I don't know when
I'm [A] stuck at Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' [E] on
But that [B7] train keeps a-rollin' on down to San A [E] ntone
[Verse 2]
When [E] I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,
always be a good boy; don't e [E7] ver play with guns.'
But I [A] shot a man in Reno, just to watch him di [E] e

Well, if they [E] freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little [E7] farther down the line
[A] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to [E] stay
And I'd [B7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a [E] way
[End]
[Notes]
Solo whilst playing backbeat 1. Play up with first finger off beat notes against the snare hits - mainly notes on B and high E string - add
vibrato and slides to make it lively - use little finger to fret notes so can mute rest of strings with other fingers of left hand
- can also play double stops and 3 notes pull offs (i.e. E - 5p3p0)
Can use 3rd finger if want to apply more vibrato and give left hand more space to work against the capo

G C G
On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
G G D
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to speak
G C G
So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness
C G D7 G
'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak.
G C G
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
G D
Knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes,
G C G
And if you don't mind me sayin', I can see you're out of aces,
C G D G
And for a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
(bass drum on 2 and 4 to begin with - no snare)
G C G
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow;
G G D
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light,
G C G
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression,
C G D G
' said "If you're gon na play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
[Chorus - Half time shuffle]
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
C G D
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
G D G C G
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
C G D G
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Verse]
A D A
Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
A E
Is knownin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep
A E A D A
'Cause every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser,
D A E A
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
[Verse]
A D A
And when he finished speakin', he turned back toward the window,
A E
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep, (drums stop)
A E A D A
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even,
D A E A
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
[Chorus - Drums back in]

You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,

Nice approach - when you want to imply G chord play melody on E string so by virtue of fretting
the open G rings - then want to imply D, move melody to B string that naturally mutes the G string
and the low D string rings more
With A just play chord down the neck
Also really helps to be in open D tuning
[Violin Line 2 - relative to capo - note you can add trills and hammer ons and pulloffs and sounds great
stick to right string though for each chord]
