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]
Em G A4 A

[Verse] 
Em                    G
 A man decides after seventy years
              A4                    A
That what he goes there for is to unlock the door
Em                            G               A4     A
  While those around him criticize and sleep
Em                            G
  And through a fractal  on a breaking  wall
      A4                                 A
I see you my friend and touch your face again 
Em                     G          A4  A
  Miracles will happen as we dream

 But we're never gonna survive  unless  we get little  crazy

 No we're never gonna  survive unless  we are a little    crazy 
  
[Verse] 
Em                    G
  As the people walking through my head
              A4                      A
one of them's got a gun  to shoot the other one
Em                           G
  and yet together they were friends at school
A4                   A
  oh get it, get it, get it, yeah
Em                               G
  If I were there when we first took the pill
     A4                      A
them maybe, them maybe, them maybe, them maybe
Em                     G           A4     A
  Miracles will happen as we speak
  
[Chorus] 
C                      G          D                      A
 But we're never gonna  survive unless  we get little  crazy 
C                      G          D                        A
 No  we're never gonna  survive unless  we are a little  crazy 
C                      G          D                        A          Em
 No  we're never gonna  survive unless  we get a little  crazy 
  
[Bridge] 
     Am7                     Bm7
In a sky full of people only some want to fly
           Cmaj7    D
isn't that crazy 
     Am7                       Bm7
In a world full of people only some want to fly
           Cmaj7         D                D
Isn't that crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
 
     Em                      G
In a heaven of people only some want to fly
           A4       A
isn't that crazy 
     Em                                G
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly
           A4             A                A
Isn't that crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
  
[Chorus] 
C                          G      D                   A
 But we're never gonna survive unless  we get little  crazy 
C                        G      D                     A      Em
 No we're never gonna survive unless  we are a little  crazy
