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,
Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive, hey he [Am] y
[Interlude]
[Am] [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Bm7b5] [Esus4] [E]
[Verse 2]
It took [Am] all the strength I had not to [Dm] fall apart.
Kept trying [G] hard to mend the pieces of my [Cmaj7] broken heart.
And I spent [Fmaj7] oh, so many nights, just feeling [Bm7b5] sorry for myself,
I used to [Esus4] cry, but now I [E7] hold my head up high.
And you see [Am] me; somebody [Dm] new,
I'm not that [G] chained up little person, still in [Cmaj7] love with you.
And so you [Fmaj7] felt like dropping in and just ex [Bm7b5] pect me to be free,
Now I'm [Esus4] saving all my loving, for some [E] one who's loving 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] break 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,
Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive... oh
[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] break 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,
Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive, I will sur [Am] vive...

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] -

Dm7 - G7 - C
Dm7 - G7 - C
[Verse 1 - Barre chords so tight and quieter]
Dm7 G7 C
Sunday morning rain is falling
Dm7 G7 C
Steal some covers share some skin
Dm7 G7 C
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
Dm7 G7 C
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
Dm7 G7 C
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Dm7 G7 C
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
Dm7 G7 C
That someday it would lead me back to you
Dm7 G7 C
That someday it would lead me back to you
[Chorus - Open chords for big chorus]
Dm7 G7 C
That may be all I need
Dm7 G7 C
In darkness she is all I see
Dm7 G7 C
Come and rest your bones with me
Dm7
Driving slow on Sunday morning
G7 C
And I never want to leave
[Verse 2]
Dm7 G7 C
Fingers trace your every outline, oh yay yay
Dm7 G7 C
Paint a picture with my hands, oh oh
Dm7 G7 C
And back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Dm7 G7 C
Change the weather still together when it ends
[Chorus]
Dm7 G7 C
That may be all I need
Dm7 G7 C
In darkness she is all I see
Dm7 G7 C
Come and rest your bones with me
Dm7
Driving slow on Sunday morning
G7 C
And I never want to leave

Find a way to bring myself back home to you ... may not know

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.

[Dmaj7] Tired of lying in the sunshine,
[Amaj7] staying home to watch the rain
[Dmaj7] You are young and life is long, and
[Amaj7] there is time to kill today

[C#m7] ten years have got behind you
[Bm7] No one told you when to run .. (run - low E - 4 2 0)

And you [F#m] run and you run to catch up
with the Sun, but it's [A] sinking;
[E] Racing around to come up behind you ag
[F#m] ain
The [F#m] Sun is the same in a relative way,
but you're [A] older,
[E] shorter of breath, and one day closer to
[F#m] death.
[Dmaj7] Every year is getting shorter,
[Amaj7] never seem to find the time.
[Dmaj7] Plans that either come to naught, or
[Amaj7] half a page of scribbled lines.
[Dmaj7] Hanging on in quiet desper
[C#m7] ation is the English way.
The [Bm] time is gone, the song is over.
[Bm7] Thought I'd something [F] more to say.

[Em7] It's good to warm my bones beside the [A] fire
[Cmaj7] Far away, across the field
[Bm7] Tolling on the iron bell

[Verse - Beat straightens BxSS xxS - Chords follow snare]
[Dm] so i said, what you sayin girl it cant be right
[A] How can you be in love with me, we only just met tonight
[Dm] so she said.. boy i loved you from the start
[A] when i first heard love goes down, something started burning in my heart
[F] i said stop this crazy [A] talk

[Dm] so now I'm up in the courts
pleading my case in a witness box
telling the judge and jury
the same thing that i said to the cops
[A] on the day that i got arrested
im innocent I protested
she just feels rejected
had her heart broken by someone she's obsessed with
[Dm] she likes sound on my music
she makes out a fan of my music
thats why "love goes down" makes her lose it
cos she cant seperate the man from the music
[A] and im saying all this from the stand
while my girl cries tears from the galleries
this got bigger than i ever could have planned
like that song by the Zutons "Valerie"
[F] so the jury dont look like their buying it
and shes making me nervous
[A] arms crossed, screwed faced like im trying it
their eyes fixed on me like im murderous
[F] they wanna lock me up
and throw away the key
[A] they wanna send me down
even though i told them she..

[A] Wake up Maggie I [G] think I've got something to [D] say to you
It's [A] late September and I [G] really should be [D] back at school
I [G] know I keep you a [D] mused But I [G] feel I'm being [A] used
Oh [Em] Maggie I couldn't have [F#m] tried any [Em] more [Dsus2/F#]
You [Em] led me away from [A] home just to [Em] save you from being a [A] lone
You [Em] stole my heart, and [A] that's what really [D] hurts
[Verse 2]
The [A] morning sun when it's [G] in your face really [D] shows your age
But [A] that don't worry me [G] none, in my eyes you're [D] everything
I [G] laughed at all your [D] jokes, my [G] love you didn't need to [A] coax
Oh [Em] Maggie I couldn't have [F#m] tried any [Em] more [Dsus2/F#]

[A] All I needed was a [G] friend to lend a [D] guiding hand
But you [A] turned into a lover and [G] mother what a lover you [D] wore me out
[G] All you did was wreck my [D] bed And in the [G] morning kick me in the [A] head
Oh [Em] Maggie I couldn't have [F#m] tried any [Em] more [Dsus2/F#]
You [Em] led me away from [A] home 'cause you [Em] didn't want to be a [A] lone
You [Em] stole my heart I couldn't [A] leave you [G] if I [D] tried

[Verse 4]
[A] I suppose I could [G] collect my books and get on [D] back to school
Or [A] steal my daddy's [G] cue and make a living out of [D] playing pool
Or [G] find myself a rock and roll [D] band that [G] needs a helping [A] hand
Oh [Em] Maggie, I wish I'd [F#m] never seen your [Em] face [Dsus2/F#]
You made a [Em] first class fool out of [A] me, but I'm as [Em] blind as a fool can [A] be

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]
