[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 [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?"

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

LANDSLIDE – Feetwood Mac [Intro - Original Capo 3] | C G/B | Am7 G/B | 2x
C G/B Am7 G/B
I took my love and I took it down
C G/B Am7 G/B
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
C G/B Am7 G/B
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
C G/B Am7
Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my li-i-i-i-i-i-i-ife
[Pre-Chorus] | C G/B | Am7 D/F# Mmm...
G D7/F# Em
Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I
C G/B Am D7/F#
Built my life around you
G D7/F# Em
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
C G/B Am7 G/B
And I'm getting older too
[Solo] | C G/B | Am7 G/B | x3 | C G/B | Am7 D/F# D7/F# |
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, take my love, take it down
Ah, ah, climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Will the landslide bring you down?
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills...
[Outro]
C G/B Am7
Will the landslide bring you down?
G/B C G/B Am7
Oh, oh, the landslide bring you down?

[Verse - Play G 3x0003 so really rings - BASS IN]
And I'd (drums in - play 12/4 strumming)
[D] give up [Em] forever to [G] touch you
'Cause I [Bm] know that you [A] feel me some [G] how
You're the [D] closest to [Em] heaven that [G] I'll ever be
And I [Bm] don't want to [A] go home right [G] now
[Verse]
And [D] all I can [Em] taste is this [G] moment
And [Bm] all I can [A] breathe is your [G] life
And [D] sooner or [Em] later it's [G] over
I just [Bm] don't want to [A] miss you [G] tonight
[Chorus]
And I [Bm] don't want the [A] world to [G] see me
'Cause I [Bm] don't think that [A] they'd [G] understand

I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [G] am

Bm Bm7/A D D
Bm Bm7/A G G
[Verse]
And you [D] can't fight the [Em] tears that ain't [G] coming
Or the [Bm] moment of [A] truth in your [G] lies
When [D] everything [Em] feels like the [G] movies
Yeah, you [Bm] bleed just to [A] know you're [G] alive
[Chorus]
And I [Bm] don't want the [A] world to [G] see me
'Cause I [Bm] don't think that [A] they'd [G] understand
When [Bm] everything's [A] made to be [G] broken
I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [G] a

Bm Bm7/A G G x 4
[End]
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] -
1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - Bm to Bsus2
1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - G to Gmaj7 with figure
1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - Bm to Bsus2
1 2 3, 1+S stop 2 3 no chord sing 'and you' - G

[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
when I [B7] hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and [E] cry
[Solo]
E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
B7| B7| E |
[Verse 3]
I [E] bet there's rich folks eatin' from a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and s [E7] moking big cigars
But I [A] know I had it coming, I know I can't be [E] free
But tho [B7] se people keep a moving, and that's what [E] tortures me
[Solo]
E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
B7| B7| E |
[Verse 4]
Well, if they [E] freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little [E7] farther down the line
[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
Capo: 1st fret for original - RIFF 0221 4221 then A is x0222 x4222

[C] [Em] [C] [Em]
[Verse]
[C] Hey there Delilah,
What's it [Em] like in New York City?
I'm a [C] thousand miles away,
But girl to [Em] night you look so pretty,
Yes you [Am] do,
[G] [F] Time Square can't [G] shine as bright as [Am] you,
I swear it's [G] true.
[C] Hey there Delilah,
Don't you [Em] worry about the distance,
I'm right [C] there if you get lonely,
Give this [Em] song another listen,
Close your [Am] eyes,
[G] [F] Listen to my [G] voice it's my dis [Am] guise,
I'm by your [G] side.
[Chorus]
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
What you do to [C] me.
[Verse]
[C] Hey there Delilah,
I know [Em] times are getting hard,
But just be [C] lieve me girl some day,
I'll pay the [Em] bills with this guitar,
We'll have it [Am] good,
[G] [F] We'll have the [G] life we knew we [Am] would,
My word is [G] good.
[C] Hey there Delilah,
I've got [Em] so much left to say,
If every [C] simple song I wrote to you,
Would [Em] take your breath away,
I'd write it [Am] all,
[G] [F] Even more in [G] love with me you'd [Am] fall,
We'd have it [G] all.
[Chorus]
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,

[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
[Bridge]
A [F] thousand miles seems pretty far,
But [G] they've got planes and trains and cars,
I'd [C] walk to you if I had no other [Am] way,
Our [F] friends would all make fun of us,
And [G] we'll just laugh along because,
We [C] know that none of them have felt this [Am] way,
De [F] lilah I can promise you,
That [G] by the time that we get through,
The [Am] world will never ever be the same,
And you're to [G] blame.
[Verse]
[C] Hey there Delilah you be [Em] good, And don't you miss me,
Two more [C] years and you'll be done with school,
And [Em] I'll be making history,
Like I [Am] do,
[G] [F] You'll know it's [G] all because of [Am] you,
[F] We can do what [G] ever we want [Am] to,
[F] Hey there De [G] lilah here's to [Am] you,
This one's for [G] you.
[Chorus]
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
[C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
What you do to [C] me. [Am]
