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

[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

[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

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.

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.

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]

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers (oo, oo, oo)

Now how about you?
