[Verse - Play G 3x0003 so really rings - BASS IN]
And I'd (drums in - play 12/4 strumming)
[D] give up [Em] forever to [G] touch you
'Cause I [Bm] know that you [A] feel me some [G] how
You're the [D] closest to [Em] heaven that [G] I'll ever be
And I [Bm] don't want to [A] go home right [G] now
[Verse]
And [D] all I can [Em] taste is this [G] moment
And [Bm] all I can [A] breathe is your [G] life
And [D] sooner or [Em] later it's [G] over
I just [Bm] don't want to [A] miss you [G] tonight
[Chorus]
And I [Bm] don't want the [A] world to [G] see me
'Cause I [Bm] don't think that [A] they'd [G] understand
When [Bm] everything's [A] made to be [G] broken
I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [G] am
[Interlude]
Bm Bm7/A D D
Bm Bm7/A G G
[Verse]
And you [D] can't fight the [Em] tears that ain't [G] coming
Or the [Bm] moment of [A] truth in your [G] lies
When [D] everything [Em] feels like the [G] movies
Yeah, you [Bm] bleed just to [A] know you're [G] alive
[Chorus]
And I [Bm] don't want the [A] world to [G] see me
'Cause I [Bm] don't think that [A] they'd [G] understand
When [Bm] everything's [A] made to be [G] broken
I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [G] a

ignore this - for later reference
Bm (1 triplet) Bsus2 (1 triplet + 2 beats)
G (then think GMaj7) - 2 triplets then 2 beats - the 'and id'
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
[Interlude] -
1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - Bm to Bsus2
1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - G to Gmaj7 with figure
1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - Bm to Bsus2
1 2 3, 1+S stop 2 3 no chord sing 'and you' - G

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]
[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?"

Elton John-Sun Going Down
Don't go for harmonies in the chorus too much
Opening figure - use thumb and first finger to play B - 1 3 E - 1 0 B - 1 3
Whilst still holding the C chord as much as possible so it sustains
Chord for C/Bb - 6x555
Run down - D 0 - A- 3 2 0 then play G - don't pull off play first
with first finger then rest with thumb
Piano intro C - notes - dont try to hold C maj chord - use second
finger for the 1 so in good position to finger the next chord
B 1 3 E 1 0 B 3 1 (hammer on and pull off) - 11xx1x 01xx1x x10x1x
Use side of thumb and muting with left hand to 1 &3&4 - staccato on 4
Losing everything - have snare hit with no chord OR just play bass drum with chords

Gloria Gaynor-I Will Survive
[Intro]
[E7b9-020101]
[Verse 1]
At [Am] first I was afraid, I was [Dm] petrified,
Kept thinking [G] I could never live without you [Cmaj7] by my side.
But then I [Fmaj7] spent so many nights, thinking [Bm7b5-x20201] how you did me wrong,
And I grew [Esus4] strong; and I learned [E] how to get along.
And so you're [Am] back, from outer [Dm] space,
I just walked [G] in to find you here, with that sad [Cmaj7] look upon your face.
I should have [Fmaj7] changed that stupid lock,
I should have [Bm7b5] made you leave your key,
If I had [Esus4] known for just one second, you'd be [E] back to bother me.
[Chorus]
Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door;
Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7b5] hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur [Dm] vive,

We're off to never-never land
Note : This tab for the solo is greatly inspired by the original
tab of the solo, and many thanks to the author of that tab. It
Was quite accurate but wrong in a couple of places, basiclly here
I changed it to be as close as possible to Kirk.
For the solo, James plays the main riff twice, then his part of
the prechorus, and his part of the chorus. Its amazing how well
the solo fits in.

I want to [D] tear down the walls
That hold me in [G-5x0003] side
I want to reach [Bm-9x5555] out
And touch the [A] flame
Where the [C] streets have no name
I, I, I, I want to [D] feel,
sunlight on my [D] face
I see the [D] dust cloud disappear
without a [G] trace
I want to take [Bm] shelter
from the poison [A] rain
Where the [C] streets have no name Oh Ah
Where the streets have no
[Chorus - D triad at 2nd fret - play 5 3 then 2 on high E]

High on a [A] desert plain
Where the [C] streets have no name Oh Ah
Where the streets have no

[D] Name ...... Where the streets have no name
We're still building
[G] Then burning down love, burning down love
[Bm] And when I go there
[A] I go there with you...

Don Maclean-American Pie
[Intro BPM 138]
A [G] long, [D/F#] long time [Em7] ago
[Am] I can still re [C] member how that [Em] music
used to make me [D] smile
And [G] I knew [D/F#] if I had [Em7] my chance
That [Am] I could make those [C] people dance and
[Em] maybe they'd be [C] happy for a [D] while
But [Em] February [Am] made me shiver, [Em] with every
paper I'd [Am] deliver
[C] Bad news [G/B] on the [Am] doorstep, I couldn't
[C] take one more step [D]
I [G] can't remem [D/F#] ber if I [Em] cried when I
[Am7] read about his [D] widowed bride
[G] Something [D/F#] touched me [Em] deep inside
The [C] day the [D7] music died [G]
[Chorus]
So [G] bye, [C] bye Miss [G] American [D] Pie
Drove my [G] Chevy to the [C] levy but the [G] levy was
[D] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and [D] rye
Singin' [Em*] this will be the day that I [A7*]
die, [Em*] this will be the day that I die [D7]
[Verse 2]
[G] Did you write the [Am] book of love
And do [C] you have faith in [Am] God above,
[Em] if the bible [D] tells you so?
[G] Do you [D/F#] believe in [Em] rock and roll
Can [Am7] music save your [C] mortal soul and
[Em] can you teach me [A7] how to dance [D] real slow?
Well I [Em*] know that you're in [D*] love with him
'cuz I [Em*] saw you dancin' [D*] in the gym
You [C] both kicked [G/B] off your [Am] shoes, man
I [C] dig those rhythm and [D7] blues
I was a [G] lonely [D/F#] teenage [Em] bronckin' buck
with a [Am] pink carnation and a [C] pickup truck
But [G] I knew [D/F#] I was [Em] out of luck the
[C] day the [D7] music [G] died [C] , [G] I started [D] singin'
[Chorus]
So [G] bye, [C] bye Miss [G] American [D] Pie
Drove my [G] Chevy to the [C] levy but the [G] levy was
[D] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and [D] rye
Singin' [Em*] this will be the day that I [A7*]
die, [Em*] this will be the day that I die [D7]
[Verse 3]
Now for [G] ten years we've been [Am] on our own
and [C] moss grows fat on a [Am] rolling stone
[Em] but that's not how it [D] used to be
When the [G] jester [D/F#] sang for the king [Em]
and queen
in a [Am7] coat he borrowed [C] from James Dean
in a [Em] voice that came [A7] from you and [D] me
Oh, and [Em*] while the king was [D*] looking down,
the [Em*] jester stole his thorny [D*] crown
The [C] courtroom [G/B] was ad [A7] journed,
[C] no verdict was re [D7] turned
And while [G] Lennin read [D/F#] a book [Em] on Marx,
the [Am] quartet practiced [C] in the park
And [G] we sang [D/F#] dirges [Em] in the dark the
[C] day the [D7] music [G] died [C] , [G] we were [D] singin'
[Chorus]
[G] bye, [C] bye Miss [G] American [D] Pie
Drove my [G] Chevy to the [C] levy but the [G] levy was
[D] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and [D] rye
Singin' [Em*] this will be the day that I [A7*]
die, [Em*] this will be the day that I die [D7]
[Verse 4]
[G] Helter skelter in a [Am] summer swelter
[C] the birds flew off with [Am] a fallout shelter,
[Em] eight miles high and [D] fallin' fast
[G] It landed [D/F#] foul [Em] on the grass
the [Am7] players tried for a [C] forward pass
[Em] with the jester on the [A7] sidelines in a [D] cast
Now the [Em*] half-time air was [D*] sweet perfume,
while [Em*] sergeants played a [D*] marching tune
[C] We all got [G/B] up to dance [A7] but we
[C] never got the [D7] chance
'Cuz the [G] players [D/F#] tried to [Em] take the field,
the [Am] marching band re [C] fused to yield
Do [G] you re [D/F#] call what [Em] was revealed the
[C] day the [D7] music [G] died [C] , [G] we started [D] singin'
[Chorus]
[G] bye, [C] bye Miss [G] American [D] Pie
Drove my [G] Chevy to the [C] levy but the [G] levy was
[D] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and [D] rye
Singin' [Em*] this will be the day that I [A7*]
die, [Em*] this will be the day that I die [D7]
[Verse 5]
And [G] there we were all [Am] in one place
a [C] generation [Am] lost in space, [Em] with
no time left to [D] start again
So come on [G] Jack be [D/F#] nimble, [Em] Jack be
quick, [Am7] Jack Flash sat on a [C] candle
stick, [Em] 'cuz fire is the devil's [A7] only friend [D]
And as [Em*] I watched him [D*] on the stage, my
[Em*] hands were clenched in [D*] fists of rage
No [C] angel [G/B] born in [A7] Hell could
[C] break that Satan's [D7] spell
And as the [G] flames climbed [D/F#] high into [Em]
the night to [Am] light the sacri [C] ficial rite
I saw [G] Satan [D/F#] laughing [Em] with delight
the [C] day the [D7] music [G] died [C] [G]
he was [D] singin'
[Chorus]
[G] bye, [C] bye Miss [G] American [D] Pie
Drove my [G] Chevy to the [C] levy but the [G] levy was
[D] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and [D] rye
Singin' [Em*] this will be the day that I [A7*]
die, [Em*] this will be the day that I die [D7]
[Verse 6]
I [G] met a [D/F#] girl who [Em] sang the blues
And I [Am] asked her for some [C] happy news, but
[Em] she just smiled and turned [D] away
I [G] went down [D/F#] to the [Em] sacred store
Where I'd [Am] heard the music [C] years before,
but [Em] the man there said [C] the music
wouldn't [D] play
But [Em*] in the streets the [Am*] children screamed,
the [Em*] lovers cried and the [Am*] poets dreamed
But [C] not a [G/B] word was [Am] spoken, the
[C] church bells all were [D] broken
And the [G] three men [D/F#] I admire [Em] most, the
[Am7] Father, [C] Son, and the [D7] Holy Ghost
[G] They caught the [D/F#] last train [Em] for
the coast the [C] day the [D7] music [G] died,
[N.C.] And they were singin'
[Chorus]
[G] bye, [C] bye Miss [G] American [D] Pie
Drove my [G] Chevy to the [C] levy but the [G] levy was
[D] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and [D] rye
Singin' [Em*] this will be the day that I [A7*]
die, [Em*] this will be the day that I die [D7]
They were singin' [G] bye, [C] bye Miss [G] American
[D] Pie
Drove my [G] Chevy to the [C] levy but the [G] levy
was [D] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys were drinkin' [G] whiskey

Singin' [C] this will be the [D7] day that I [G] die

[Am] Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here, (riff)
[Am] We was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road. (riff)
[Am] All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... (riff)
[Am] In the middle of the road. .... And he said:
(strum palm muted)
[A5] "Plaaay the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls."

[Am] Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
[Am] And we each said... "Okay"

[F] grass don't grow...
[Verse 2] (drums just bass drum)
[Am] Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
[Am] Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,

[Verse + Riff - Full drums]
[E] Hey, once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock-and-roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down the one-night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly
Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show
(Horn Riff 0x991212 xx771010 0x991212)
[Pre-Chorus - E7#9 or 076777]
[E] Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
(Drum roll - use electronic bass drum pedal)
(straight 8 notes)
----BBBB-B+SBBB-BBBB-------S
Or play B drum on offbeat
SBSB SBSB SBSB SBS "shouted" for final snare
Somebody turned around and shouted
[Chorus G7add9]
[G7add9] "Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, [A#7add9] white boy
[A7] Lay down that [E7#9] boogie
And [B7#9] play that funky music 'til you die."
'Til you die?
[Verse + Riff]
[E] I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step by the way
... we can do
I said, I must go back there
I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same
[Pre-Chorus]
[E7#9 or 076777]
Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted
[Chorus G7add9]
[G7add9] "Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, [A#7add9] white boy
[A7] Lay down that [E7#9] boogie
And [B7#9] play that funky music 'til you die."
'Til you die?
Oh, 'til you die
Gonna play some electrified funky music
[Solo - All over riff - E7#9]
[Verse + Riff]
[E] Hey, wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changing rock-and-rolling minds
And things were gettin' shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but now it's so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' (you know, I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
[Pre-Chorus]
[E7#9 or 076777]
Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted (drum roll)
[Chorus G7add9]
[G7add9] "Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, [A#7add9] white boy
[A7] Lay down that [E7#9] boogie
And [B7#9] play that funky music 'til you die."
[Riff]
'Til you die?
Oh, 'til you die
They shouted
[Chorus - All G7]
"Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
You got to keep on playin' funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Gonna take you high and low."
[Now A7]
"Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
