[Intro Riff - No drums to start then come in during next repeat of riff]
[B] [A] [E] ([B/A] [B]) x 2
(hammer on B and A barre chords - E play from open and hammer on)
[Intro]
I [B] won't let you down. [A] I will not give you up [E]
Gotta have some faith in the sound [A/B]
[B] It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down. [A] So please don't give me up [E]
Because I would really, really [A/B] love
[B] to stick around
[Vamp]
[B] [A] [E] ([B/A] [B]) x 2
[Verse 1]
[F#] Heaven knows I was just a [E] young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be [A/B] [B] [A/B] [B]
I [F#] was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride [E] and joy
And I guess it was enough for me [A/B] [B] [A/B] [B]
To [F#] win the race, a prettier face
[E] Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock [A/B] and roll TV [B] [A/B] [B]
But to [F#] day the way I play the game is not the [E] same, no way
Think I'm gonna get me some happy [A/B] [B] [A/B][B]
I [Bm] think there's something you should know [Bmmaj7 - x24332]
I think it's time I told you so [Bm7]
There's something deep inside of me [Bm6 - 7x6777]
There's someone else I've got to be [Bm]
Take back your picture in a frame [Bmmaj7]
Take back your singing in the rain [Bm7] I just
hope you understand
[F#7] Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
[Chorus]
[B] All we have to [A] do now
Is [E] take these lies and make
[A/B] them [B] true somehow
[B] All we have to [A] see
Is that I [E] don't belong to you
And you don't [A/B] belong [B] to me
[B] Freedom, [A] Freedom, [E] Freedom
You got to give [A/B] what you [B] take
[B] Freedom, [A] Freedom, [E] Freedom
You got to give [A/B] what you [B] take
[Verse 2]
[F#] Heaven knows we sure had some fun [E] boy
What a kick just a buddy and me [A/B] [B] [A/B] [B]
We [F#] had every big-shot goodtime band on the run [E] boy
We were living in a fantasy [A/B] [B] [A/B] [B]
We [F#] won the race, got out of the place
[E] Went back home got a brand new face for the boys [A/B]
on MTV [B] [A/B] [B]
But to [F#] day the way I play the game has got to c
[E] change oh yeah Now I'm gonna get
myself happy [A/B] [B] [A/B] [B]
[Bm] I think there's something you should know
[Bmmaj7 - x24332] I think it's time I stopped the show
[Bm7] There's something deep inside of me
[Bm6 - 7x6777] There's someone I forgot to be
[Bm] Take back your picture in a frame
[Bmmaj7] Don't think that I'll be back
[Bm7] again . I just hope you understand
[F#7] Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
[Chorus]
[B] All we have to [A] do now
Is [E] take these lies and make
[A/B] them [B] true somehow
[B] All we have to [A] see
Is that I [E] don't belong to you
And you don't [A/B] belong [B] to me
[B] Freedom, [A] Freedom, [E] Freedom
You got to give [A/B] what you [B] take
[B] Freedom, [A] Freedom, [E] Freedom
You got to give [A/B] what you [B] take
[Bridge] - Bm Bmmaj7 Bm7 Bm6 x2
[Bm]Well it looks like the road to heaven
But it [Bmmaj7] feels like the road to hell
When I [Bm7] knew which side my bread was buttered
[Bm6]I took the knife as well
[Bm] Posing for another picture
[Bmmaj7] Everybody's got to sell
[Bm7] But when you shake your ass. They notice fast
[Bm6] And some mistakes were build to last
[Bm] That's what you get
[Bmmaj7] That's what you get
[Bm7] That's what you get for
[Bm6] changing your mind
[Bm] That's what you get. And after all this
[Bmmaj7] time I just hope you understand
[F#7] Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
[Chorus]
[B] All we have to [A] do now
Is [E] take these lies and make
[A/B] them [B] true somehow
[B] All we have to [A] see
Is that I [E] don't belong to you
And you don't [A/B] belong [B] to me
[B] Freedom, [A] Freedom, [E] Freedom
You got to give [A/B] what you [B] take
[B] Freedom, [A] Freedom, [E] Freedom
You got to give [A/B] what you [B] take

Drums first then keyboard riff

Playin' in a rock-and-roll band

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

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

Changing rock-and-rolling minds

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

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]

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

[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

Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door;
Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more.

4 Non Blondes-What's Up
[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]
[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?"
[Interlude]
[E] Ooh, O [F#m] oh O [A] oh . [E] ....
[Outro]
[E] Twenty-five years and my life is still
[F#m] Trying to get up that great big hill of [A] hope
For a destin [E] ation
