Sheryl Crow-If It Makes You Happy - sr - 0

The  key  to  getting  this  song  to  sound  just  like  the  original  is  to  play  a  standard
G  chord  with  fingers  1,  2  &  3  and  then  use  finger  4  (index)  to  tap  on  and  off  fret
1  string  2  then  again  fret  2  string  3  (verses  only,  not  the  chorus).  Listen  to  the  
song  to  get  the  feel  for  the  strum  and  the  tap  on/off  timing.  It’ll  come  to  you
easily  enough  …  enjoy!
  
  
[Verse  1]
  
G                                                                        G
I've  been  long,  a  long  way  from  here
G
Put  on  a  poncho,  played  for  mosquitoes,
G                                                                C*
And  drank  'til  I  was  thirsty  again
  
G                                                                                                G
We  went  searching  through  thrift  store  jungles
G
Found  Geronimo's  rifle,  Marilyn's  shampoo
G                                                              C*
And  Benny  Goodman's  corset  and  fan
  
  
[Pre-Chorus]
  
                                                D            C                                                        D
Well,  o.k.  I  made  this  up…    I  promised  you  I'd  never  give  up
  
  
[Chorus]
  
                              Am              C                                    G                    D
If  it  makes  you  happy          it  can't  be  that  ba-aa-aa-ad
                                    Am        C                                                              G
If  it  makes  you  happy      then  why  the  hell  are  you  so  sad?
  
  
[Verse  2]
  
You  get  down,  real  low  down
You  listen  to  Coltrane,  derail  your  own  train
Well  who  hasn't  been  there  before?
  
I  come  round,  around  the  hard  way
Bring  you  comics  in  bed;  scrape  the  mold  off  the  bread,
And  serve  you  French  toast  again
  
  
[Pre-Chorus]
  
Well,  o.k.  I  still  get  stoned…  I'm  not  the  kind  of  girl  you'd  take  home
  
  
[Chorus]
  
  
[Verse  3]
  
G                                                                    G
We've  been  far,  far  away  from  here
G
Put  on  a  poncho,  played  for  mosquitoes,
G                                              C*
And  everywhere  in  between
  
  
[Pre-Chorus]
  
                                              D            C                                                                  D
Well,  o.k.  we  get  along…      so  what  if  right  now  everything's  wrong?
  
[Chorus  &  close]
  
  
C*  -  this  particular  C  chord  is  played  similarly  to  the  preceding  G  chord  with
your  pinky  on  the  string  1;  G  note  (fret  3).  When  changing  from  the  preceding  G
chord  merely  drop  fingers  2  and  3  one  string  down

[Intro] 
G - Em 
[Verse 1 - Play 3x0007 3x0005 for G and 022002 to 022030 for Em to allude to arp] 
[G] Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the [Em] teardrop from your eye
[G] You're lying safe in bed

It was all a bad dream
[Em] Spinning in your head 
[C] Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to y [Am] ou leaving the game of life
[C] So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you f [Am] ace the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?

[Instrumental]
G - Em 

[Verse 2]
[G] There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I [Em] run through in the night
[G] Relax child, you were there
But only didn't [Em] realize and you were scared
[C] It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, [Am] retrace the years

And ride the whims of your mind
[C] Commanding in another world 
Suddenly you [Am] hear and see

This magic new dimension

[Chorus] 
[D] I- will be watching over y [C] o
[D] I- am gonna help you see it [C] through
[D] I- will protect you in the [C] night
I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidit [G] y

[Solo]  
Eb Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Csus2 C Csus2 C
  
(Spoken during solo)   
(Visualize your dream) 
(Record it in the present tense)
(Put it into a permanent form) 
(If you persist in your efforts)
(You can achieve dream control) 
(Dream control)  
(How are we feeling today, better??)
(Dream control, dream control) 
(Help me)  
   
[Verse 3]  
[G] If you open your mind for me 
You won't rely on [Em] open eyes to see
[G] The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a [Em] new world will begin
[C] Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain [Am] in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
[C] A round trip journey in your head
Master of i [Am] llusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...

[Chorus] 
[D] I- will be watching over [C] you
[D] I- am gonna help to see it [C] through
[D] I- will protect you in the [C] night
[D] I- am smiling next to [C] you.... 
[G] [Em] repeat to fade
