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
