[C/G] [G] [C/G] [G]

[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

Eagles-Hotel California
[Intro - BPM 75]
Bm F# A E G D Em F# 2x
[Verse 1 - Drums in]
[Bm] On a dark desert highway, [F#] cool wind in my hair
[A] Warm smell of colitas, [E] rising up through the air
[G] Up ahead in the distance, I [D] saw a shimmering light
[Em] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
[F#] I had to stop for the night
[Bm] There she stood in the doorway;
[F#] I heard the mission bell
[A] And I was thinking to myself,
[E] heaven or this could be hell
[G] Then she lit up a candle and she [D] showed me the way
[Em] There were voices down the corridor,
[F#] I thought I heard them say...
[Chorus]
[G] Welcome to the hotel Cali [D] fornia;
[F#] lovely place,
[Bm] lovely face
[G] Plenty of room at the hotel Cali [D] fornia,
[Em] time of year, you can [F#] find it here
[Verse 2]
[Bm] Her mind is tiffany-twisted, [F#] she got the Mercedes Benz
[A] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that [E] she calls friends
[G] How they dance in the courtyard, [D] sweet summer sweat.
[Em] Some dance to remember, [F#] some dance to forget
[Bm] So I called up the captain,
[F#] please bring me my wine
[A] haven t had that spirit here since [E] nineteen sixty nine
[G] And still those voices are calling from [D] far away
[Em] Wake you up in the middle of the night,
[F#] just to hear them say
[Chorus]
[G] Welcome to the hotel Cali [D] fornia;
[F#] lovely place,
[Bm] lovely face
[G] They re living it up at the hotel Cali [D] fornia
[Em] nice surprise, bring your [F#] alibis
[Verse 3]
[Bm] Mirrors on the ceiling,
[F#] the pink champagne on ice
[A] we are all just prisoners here, [E] of our own device
[G] And in the masters chambers,
[D] they gathered for the feast
[Em] The stab it with their steely knives,
[F#] just (snare) can't (snare) kill the (snare - flamenco fill) beast
[Bm] Last thing I remember, I was
[F#] running for the door
[A] I had to find the passage back,
[E] place I was before
[G] relax, said the night man,
[D] programmed to receive.
[Em] You can checkout any time you like,
[F#] (F#stop+snare) but you can never leave! (F#F#F#)
[Another Chorus? - use snare to bring back in]
[G] Welcome to the hotel Cali [D] fornia;
[F#] lovely place,
[Bm] lovely face
[G] They re living it up at the hotel Cali [D] fornia
[Em] nice surprise, bring your [F#] alibis

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;
A D A E A
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Chorus - A Cappella]
A D A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
D A E
Know when to walk away And know when to run.

You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;

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

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,

[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

Umm, [C] I would take the stars out of the sky for you,
[Am7] Stop the rain from falling, if you asked me to,
[Dm7] I'd do anything for you, your [Am7] wish is my command,
[Dm7] I could move a mountain when your [G7sus4] hand is in my [G7] hand
[Verse 2]
Umm, [C] Words cannot express how much you mean to me,
[Am7] There must be some other way to make you see,

You [Am7] know I'd pay the price,
[Dm7] Everything that I possess, I'd [G7sus4] gladly sacri - [G7] fice

Oh, [C] you to me are everything,
The [Cmaj7] sweetest song that I could sing,
Oh, [Dm7] baby, ...oh, [G7sus4] baby! [G7]

Oh, [Dm7] baby, ...oh, [G7sus4] baby! [G7]

You [Dm7] give me just a taste of love...
To [G7sus4] build my hopes u - [G7] pon,

Umm, [C] though you're close to me, we seem so far apart,
[Am7] Maybe, given time, you'll have a change of heart,

The [Dm7] day you give your love to me...
Won't [G7sus4] be a day too [G7] late
