[Verse 2] [D] Little precious has a [A] natural obsession For temp [C] tation but he just can't [G] see [D] She gives him loving that his [A] body can't handle But all [C] he can say is "baby it's [G] good to me" [D] One day he goes and takes a [A] glimpse in the mirror But he [C] doesn't recognize his own [G] face [D] His health is fading and he [A] doesn't know why 3 letters [C] took him to his final [G] resting place, y'all don't hear me?
[Chorus] [D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G]
[Chorus] [D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G] c'mon
[Chorus] [D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G] (fade out)

Lutricia McNeal-Aint That Just The Way [Intro - BPM 85 - 1996] [Em] Uhh Uh- [Bm] uhh Uh-u [C] hh Uh- [G] uhh
[Verse 1] He was a [C] very special warm and gentle [G] person who put the [C] music in the world and spoke in [G] rhyme [D] and it h [Em] urts me that I never really [Bm] knew him 'cause [C] all it would have taken was some [G] time you know he [C] always seemed to be there when I [G] stumbled and when [C] mountains got too steep for me to [G] climb [D] and it [Em] tears me up to think I never [Bm] touched him 'cause [C] all it would have taken was some [G] time
[Chorus] Oh oh ohhh Well, [Em] ain't that just the way that life goes [Bm] down, down, down, down [C] movin' way too fast or much too [G] slow [Em] gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere but [C] not gettin' into someone I should [G] know
[Verse 2] Now he's [C] in another place and I can't [G] reach him and I [C] feel as though I'm guilty of a [G] crime [D] I took [Em] all he had to give and gave him [Bm] nothin' and [C] all it would have taken was some [G] time
[Chorus] Oh oh ohhh Well, [Em] ain't that just the way that life goes [Bm] down, down, down, down [C] movin' way too fast or much too [G] slow [Em] gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere but n [C] ot gettin' into someone I should kn [G] ow
[No drums - Chorus] Well, [Em] ain't that just the way that life goes [Bm] down, down, down, down [C] movin' way too fast or much too [G] slow (drums in) [Em] gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere but [C] not gettin' into someone I should [G] know
[Bridge] Gettin' [Em] up gettin' high, gettin' down, gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere Gettin' [Em] up gettin' high, gettin' down, gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere Gettin' [Em] up gettin' high, gettin' down, gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere Gettin' [Em] up gettin' high, gettin' down, gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere
[Chorus - Just drums] Well, [Em] ain't that just the way that life goes [Bm] down, down, down, down [C] movin' way too fast or much too [G] slow (drums in) [Em] gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down gettin' [Bm] no, no, nowhere but [C] not gettin' into someone I should [G] know
1. Feel tongue blocking happening 2. Learn to hit right note straight away 3. Really know where you are drawing or blowing etc Post Malone 5th hole from right has tongue in
D - Avicii - B B A B D B - 5d 4b 5d- just slide tongue so nice and fast - don't move whole head or mouth etc E - Galway Girl - E with capo A - Wagon Wheel - 3b 3b 3b 3d 4b 3d E - Dire Straits C - Piano Man - learn other bits - la di da di di da ahh - 5d 4b 5b 5d- could possible use holes to left on some D - Valerie Baker St? Kool - Celebrate - C Baby give it up + or - = play note around + or below- D - 3b 3d (3d 4b) 3d 4d 5d- ... 4b 3b ... 4d 5b- 4d 5b- Higher Love Come on Eileen 4 non blondes - E play that Esus4 bit over A major Uptown funk - F maj - can play some of the hits - good practise playing 3 fast note by not moving mouth but just the tongue
What I have noticed with some songs is if you put your lips in approximately the right area and either blow or draw appropriately it will work - such as Valerie where first part of horn line is BDB then next part is DBD Same to a degree with piano man
Technique for use 1. Make sure lips are nice and moist to stop the harmonica and holder moving too much when you have your lips against it 2. Feel your tongue against the hole and think of it as like blowing down the hole your tongue is touching (even though you are blocking that hole)
