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

I must be looking for [G] something, something sacred I [G] lost
But the river is [C] wide and it's too hard to [D] cross

[Em] Even though I know the [D] river is wide
I walk down [C] every evening and I [Bm] stand on the shore

In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the jungle of [C] doubt to the river so [D] deep
I know I'm searching for [G] something, something so [G] undefined
That it only can be [C] seen by the eyes of the [D] blind
In the middle of the [G] night [C] [D]

[Em] Not sure about a [D] life after this
God [C] knows I've never been a [Bm] spiritual man
[C] Baptized by [Bm] fire, I wade into the [A7] river
That is runnin' through the [D] promised land
(run down)
[Double Pause]
[Chorus 4]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the desert of [C] truth to the river so [D] deep
We all end in the [G] ocean, we all start in the [G] streams
We're all carried a [C] long by the river of [D] dreams
In the middle of the [G] night
[Backing vocal part - NO CHORDS TO BEGIN WITH - PERHAPS JUST BASS THEN CHORDS BACK IN]
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[C]valley of faith
[D]river so deep

comes in the last beat of 2 so on the &2 of 1 2 3 1&2
Play G1 G2 G3 G1+Snare (stop) then sing 'and id' with no guitar
Important that the strings drone lots - open strings also
works as well in places

At least for [Am] most of the questions in [G] my heart like
[F] Why are we [C/E] here? And where do we [Dm] go

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'

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,

But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

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]

[D] A lonely mother gazing [A] out of her window
Staring a [C] t a son that she just can't t [G] ouch
If at any [D] time he's in a jam, she'll be [A] by his side
But he doesn't [C] realize he hurts her so [G] much
[D] But all the praying just ain't [A] helping at all
'cause he can't [C] seem to keep his self out of [G] trouble
So he goes out [D] and he makes his money the best [A] way he knows how
Another [C] body laying cold in the [G] gutter, listen to me
[Chorus]
[D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls
Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to
I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all
But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G]
[Verse 2]
[D] Little precious has a [A] natural obsession
For temp [C] tation but he just can't [G] see
[D] She gives him loving that his [A] body can't handle
But all [C] he can say is "baby it's [G] good to me"
[D] One day he goes and takes a [A] glimpse in the mirror
But he [C] doesn't recognize his own [G] face
[D] His health is fading and he [A] doesn't know why
3 letters [C] took him to his final [G] resting place, y'all don't hear me?
[Chorus]
[D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls

But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G] c'mon
[Verse 3]
[D] I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many [A] storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given [C] ray, is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
I pray all [G] ten fade away Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[D] And like His promise is true only my faith can und [A]
The many chances I blew, to bring my life to a [C] new
Clear blue and unconditional skies, have dried the
[G] tears from my eyes, [N.C.] no more lonely cries
My [D] only bleedin' hope, is for the folk who can't cope
With such an end [A] urin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
[C] Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein?
[G] What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You [D] claim the insane and name this day in time for fallin' prey
to [A] crime I say the system got you victim to your own mind
[C] Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' [G] true believe in yourself the rest is up to me and you
[Chorus]
[D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls
Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to
I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all
But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G]
[Chorus]
[D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls
Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to

BPM 109
[Intro]
D A Bm G
D A Bm G
[Intro Riff]
Tap these harmonics based on D major chord - play snare with thumb - 4 bars
B--15----15----
G-----14----14---
Then
E - 14 then E - 14 15 17 section
Play harmonic with right hand as loud as you can - be very accurate
with where you position the first finger and really use edge of nail
on little finger - play the chords very gently in between harmonics
to help it chug along but be no louder than the harmonics - then the song
starts quietly
Chords are
D xx0235, A x02222, Bm x24432, Gmaj7 3x0002
D xx0235, A x02225, Bm7 x24235, Gadd9 3x0005
During louder parts tap harmonics on the backbeat - have to play
snare on part of soundboard above the frets
[Verse 1 - Chug - very quiet - even on snare - play barre chords]
(D at 5, A at 5, Bm at 7, G at 3)
[D] See the st [A] one set in your e [Bm] ye
See the th [G] orn twist in your s [D] ide
I w [A] ait for y [Bm] ou [G]
[D] Sleight of h [A] and and twist of [Bm] fate
On a bed of na [G] ils she makes me w [D] ait
And I w [A] ait, with [Bm] out you [G]
[Chorus - Quiet]
With or with [D] out you [A]
With or with [Bm] out you [G]

Then
D Asus4 Bm G x 4
D xx0775 (mute A with lh 2nd finger)
Asus4 x0775x (move shape for D across to BGD strings)
Bm7 797777
G 10x00010
[Miscellaneous]
Start very quiet - have to play to loudness of harmonics
Start playing harmonics of D chord on B and G strings - tap
and play snare at same time when playing high D
Then play harmonic F# by touching string at 14th fret with
1st finger and plucking with 4th finger
then strum &2& bit with right hand and play snare with thumb
Chords are
xx0232 x02222 x24432 (3x0002 3x0003)
Make sure chords played very lightly and completely muted
when you go to play the next harmonic
Notes - when start, tap harmonics of D chord at 12th fret area
And use those taps (some of them) for the backbeat
Tap harmonics on louder sections of with or without you
and can be backbeat as well
Intro riff
Fret the high D and articulate high note/s
with up pluck with 2nd finger - put in drop D
and strum with other fingers and can do snare
Also this is constantly played over the chords
So chords really are
D Asus4 Bm7 Gadd9 (3x0233)
In fact with ebow part becomes
D F#m7/A (ish), Bm7 , Gadd9 (3x0233)
Can use thumb to play hihat figure as well snare by using differnt
emphasis
little finger strum then th(2) TH(3) th(4) th(1) th(2) TH(3) th(4)
In parts of song guitar riff implies A7sus4
Right hand little finger to strum each chord and use right hand thumb
to play snare and 8th notes figure on sound board to give momentum
Make sure high note is held and vibratoed for as long as possible
Ascending figure 13 to 15 happens on transition from G to D
12(G) 13(G) 15(D)

[Intro]
[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?"
[Interlude]
[E] Ooh, O [F#m] oh O [A] oh [E]

[Verse 2]
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"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] HeyeYEYEYE"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
