D A Bm G

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

[D] Ooh - ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
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)

[Dmaj7] You know I'm impatient
So why would you [E] leave me waiting outside the station?
When it was like minus 4 degrees and I [Dmaj7]
I get what you're saying
I just [E] really don't want to hear it right now
Can you shut up for like once in your
[Dmaj7] life?
Listen to me
I took your nice words of ad [E] vice about
How you think I'm gonna die
Lucky if I turned 33
Okay, so yeah, I [Dmaj7] smoke like a chimney
I'm not skinny and I pull a Britney
Every other [E] week
But cut me some slack
Who do you want me to [Dmaj7] be?
[Chorus] 0:54
[Dmaj7] 'Cause I'm too messy
And then I'm too fucking [E] clean
You told me, "Get a job"
And you ask where the hell I've [Dmaj7] been
And I'm too perfect
'Til I open my big [E] mouth
I want to be me
Is that not al [Dmaj7] lowed?
And I'm too clever
And then I'm too fucking [E] dumb
You hate it when I cry
Unless it's that time of the [Dmaj7] month
And I'm too perfect
'Til I show you that I'm [E] not
A thousand people I could be for you
And you hate the fucking

You hate the fucking [E] lot
You hate the fucking [Dmaj7] lot
Hey, [E] hey [E]

[D] It's taking you ages
You still don't [E] get the hint
I'm not asking for pages
But one text or two would be nice
[D] And please, don't pull those faces
When I've b [E] een.. out working my arse off all day
It's just one bottle of wine or [D] two
But hey, you can't even talk
You smoke weed just to help you [E] sleep
Then why you're out getting stoned at 4 o'clock
And then you come home to me [D]
And don't say hello
'Cause I got high a [E] gain
And forgot to fold my clothes.... [Dmaj7] clothes
[Chorus] 2:21
[Dmaj7] 'Cause I'm too messy
And then I'm too fucking [E] clean

[G]week ..... An embryonic love
The first time [Cadd9]that it [F]scarred
Embarrass yourself for [C/G]someone
Crying like a [G]child .. And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
Still [Cadd9]bugs me [F]now

That's the thing with [C/G]anger
It begs to stick a round [G] So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with [Cadd9]nowt to [F]offer

[G] See I spent my teens enraged
Spiral [Cadd9]ling in [F]silence
And I armed myself with a [C/G]grin
Cause I was always the fuckin' [G]joker
[sung]
[G]Buried in their humour
Amongst the white [Cadd9]noise and [F]boys' boys
Locker room talkin' [C/G]lads' lads
Drenched in cheap drink and [G]snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Oh God the [Cadd9]kid's a da [F] b hand
Canny chanter, but he looks sad [C/G]
God, the kid looks so[G] sad

So I thought about shifting gear
[Cadd9] And how she [F]wept and wept and wept
[C/G]Luck came and died round here
I see my [G]mother ... The DWP see a number
She cries on the [Cadd9]floor en [F]cumbered
I'm seventeen going [C/G]under
I'm seventeen going [G]under

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

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?

[Verse 1]
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

[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
Rhythm 1 2&1&2&1
------ B-S-B-S-S but for Guido blues shuffle

[Intro - 86 BPM]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1 - Melody starts on note D]
Now I've [G] heard there was a se [Em] cret chord
That [G] David played, and it pl [Em] eased the Lord
But [C] you don't really [D] care for music, do [G] you? [D]
It [G] goes like this the [C] fourth, the [D] fifth
The [Em] minor fall, the [C] major lift
The [D] baffled king com [B7] posing Halle [Em] lujah
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [Em] lujah, Halle [C] lujah,
Halle [G] lu- [D] u- [G] jah [D]
[Verse 2]
Your [G] faith was strong, but you [Em] needed proof
You [G] saw her bathing [Em] on the roof
Her [C] beauty and the [D] moonlight over [G] threw ya [D]
She [G] tied you to a [C] kitchen [D] chair
She [Em] broke your throne, and she [C] cut your hair
And [D] from your lips she [B7] drew the Halle [Em] lujah
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [Em] lujah, Halle [C] lujah,
Halle [G] lu- [D] u- [G] jah [D]
[Verse 3]
You [G] say I took the [Em] name in vain
[G] I don't even [Em] know the name
But [C] if I did, well [D] really, what's it [G] to ya? [D]
There's a [G] blaze of light in [C] every [D] word
It [Em] doesn't matter [C] which you heard
The [D] holy or the [B7] broken Halle [Em] lujah
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [Em] lujah, Halle [C] lujah,
Halle [G] lu- [D] u- [G] jah [D]
[Verse 4]
I [G] did my best, it [Em] wasn't much
I [G] couldn't feel, so I [Em] tried to touch
I've [C] told the truth, I [D] didn't come to fool y [G] a [D]
And [G] even though it [C] all went [D] wrong
I'll [Em] stand before the [C] Lord of Song
With [D] nothing on my [B7] tongue but Halle [Em] lujah
[Outro]
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [Em] lujah,
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [G] lu [D] jah

Lynyrd Skynyrd-Sweet Home Alabama
[Loop section where riff is played over drums for first time and store - then just have solo sound on in background and either play little lead lines or the piano part or that chromatic riff which repeats in certain sections - Can try the F and C section]
[Intro - BPM 98 - riff on own - then riff and drums]
(notes - Wheels, Well I Heard, In Birmingham, Muscle Shoals)
[Verse]
Big wheels keep on turning
Carrying me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the southland
I'm missing old mammie once again
And I think it's a sin, yes
[Riff]
Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her (oo, oo, oo)
Well I heard old Neil put it down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
[Chorus]
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
[Solo 1]
In Birmingham they loved the governor (oo, oo, oo F to C bit)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
[Chorus]
Here I come Alabama
[Solo - Alabam ah, ah, ah]
[Riff]
[Verse]
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers (oo, oo, oo)
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do)
Lord they give me oh so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?
[Chorus] F to C bit at end
[Chorus]
[Loop Notes]
1. Practise stop for G to F
2. Solo ideas
- start with that bend 15th fret on E
- 2 note phrase then tap high note -
- that 2 note per string thing seems to work - 35 35 45 45 35 35
- fast line that works is G - 14 B 12 13 15 13 12
- try a bit of G minor as well but with stay away from minor 3rd
- try the open strings bit - but on G string - 4p2p0 and variations of
- the play the 'ah ah ah' bit - B - 15 13 12 and play the triads around later

[D] [A] [C] [G]
[Verse 1]
[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
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
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] 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
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]
