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
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la

[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?"

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

[F] I took a chance [Bb/F] [F] and changed your way of  [G] life

[Notes]
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

This love that we've been  [Aadd9] working  [E] on

Can't seem to  [C#m7] hold you like I want to
So I can  [Asus2] feel you in my  [E] arms
Nobody's  [C#m7] gonna come and save you
We've pulled too many  [Asus2] false al [E] arms

[Chorus - Badd11-799800,F#m11-24x200 ]
We're going  [Badd11] down
And you can  [C#m7-9-11-x-9-0-0] see it  [Aadd9] too
We're going  [Badd11] down
And you  [C#m7] know that we're  [F#m11-play F#m7 instead] doomed
My  [C#m7] dear, we're slow [C#m7] dancing in a
[Asus2] burning  [E] room

[Verse 2]
I was the  [C#m7] one you always dreamed of
You were the  [Asus2] one I tried to d [E] raw
How dare you  [C#m7] say it's nothing to me
Baby, you're the only  [Asus2] light I ever  [E] saw

I'll make the  [C#m7] most of all the sadness
You'll be a  [Asus2] bitch because you  [E] can
You try to  [C#m7] hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty
'Cause you  [Asus2] can't under [E] stand

[Chorus]
We're going  [Badd11] down
And you can  [C#m7] see it  [Asus2] too
We're going  [Badd11] down
And you  [C#m7] know that we're  [F#m11-x44200 or 242422] doomed
My  [C#m7] dear, we're slow [C#m7] dancing in a

Go  [F#m11] cry about it, why  [C#m7] don't you   [Badd11]  [Asus2]

[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]

Kenny Rogers-The Gambler

[Verse - No drums]
     G                          C               G
On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
  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'
A                                                  E
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,
    D            A                E                A
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

[Chorus - Drums back in]
           A                      D               A
You got to know when to hold 'em,    Know when to fold 'em,
D              A             A            E
  Know when to walk away And know when to run.
          A     E    A                  D              A
You never count your money  When you're sittin' at the table;
            A     D         A           E                      A
There'll be time enough for countin'        When the dealin's done.

[Chorus]
           A                      D               A
You got to know when to hold 'em,    Know when to fold 'em,
D              A             A            E
  Know when to walk away And know when to run.
          A     E    A                  D              A
You never count your money  When you're sittin' at the table;

[Chorus - A Cappella]

Know when to walk away And know when to run.

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

[Verse 1 - Drums in]
There's a [E] reason, for the sunshine in the sky

all a[E] round us. [E A]

And send you reeling, where your love can't hide
And then go [B] stealing, through the moonlit nights,
with your [E] lover. [E7]

And let your [E] love grow, with the smallest of dreams
And let your [B] love show, and you'll know what I mean,
it's the [E] season. [E7]

Let your [A] love fly like a bird on the wing,

And lay you under, its loving embrace
Just feel the [B] thunder, as it warms your face,
you can't [E] hold back.[E7]

And let your [E] love grow, with the smallest of dreams

[Intro]
Start with percussive guitar and bass drum
D x 4 G x 4 D x 4 G x 4
Bm x 2 A x 2 D x 4
(open up D percussive chord to more open for start)

[Verse 1 - Bm7 works - muted low strings]
(Lift thumb but do not rotate wrist so can maintain mute and have loud snare)
I want to [D] run
I want to [D] hide
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]
[D] name .............
[D] Where the streets have no name (Head voice, lips tight)
We're still building
Then [G] burning down love, burning down love
And when I [Bm] go there
I go there with [A] you...
(it's all I can [D] do)
[Play high D octave 7 10 no B and lower notes for vamp]

[Verse 2]
The city's a [D] flood
And our love turns to [D] rust
We're beaten and [D] blown by the wind
Trampled in [G] dust
I'll show you a [Bm] place
High on a [A] desert plain
Where the [C] streets have no name Oh Ah
Where the streets have no

[Chorus]
[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...
[D] it's all I can do
[D] Our love turns to rust
[D] We're beaten and [G] blown by the wind,
blown by the wind
Oh when I [Bm] go there, I go there [A] with you
"And i'm on my way"

[Bm] take me back to w [A] hen we found

[Pre-Chorus 2]
[G] Weekend [A] jobs and when we got [D] paid
We'd buy cheap [G] spirits and drink them [G] straight
Me and my [A] friends have not thrown [D] up in so long,
[G] oh how we've grown [G] But I can't  [A] wait to go home

[Chorus 2]
[D] I'm on  [D/F#] my [G] way,

Don Maclean-American Pie

[Intro BPM 138 - NO DRUMS]
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]
(BASS IN AND DRUMS)

[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]

[DRUMS AND BASS STOPS]
[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
and [D] rye
Singin' [C] this will be the [D7] day that I [G] die

[Em] place I be [C] long
West Vir [G] ginia, mountain [D] mama, take me
[C] home, country [G] roads.

[Verse 2 - Slap snare so gentler feel]
[G] All my memories [Em] gather 'round her [D] ,
miner's lady, [C] stranger to blue [G] water.
[G] Dark and dusty, [Em] painted on the sky, [D]
misty taste of moonshine, [C] teardrop in my [G] eye.

[Chorus]
Country [G] Roads, take me [D7] home, to the
[Em] place I be [C] long
West Vir [G] ginia, mountain [D] mama, take me
[C] home, country [G] roads.

[Bridge]
[Em] I hear her [D/F#] voice, in the
[G] mornin' hour she calls me.
The [C] radio re [G] minds me of my [D] home far away.
And [Em] drivin' down the [F] road I get a
[C] feelin' that I [G] should have been home
[D] yesterday, yester [D7] day.

[Chorus]
Country [G] Roads, take me [D7] home, to the
[Em] place I be [C] long
West Vir [G] ginia, mountain [D] mama,
take me [C] home, country [G] roads.

[Chorus]

[G]living up behind the hill
And though we [Em] share the same city and feel the same sun
When your win [C] winter comes [D]  I'll be the last to [G] know

[Chorus 2]

Always the last to (drums back in)
[Em7] know how you're [C/G] feeling
