To the comfort of the strangers, slipping out before they say "so long"
MI Baby loves to run
She counts out all her money in the taxi on the way to meet her plane
And stares hopeful out the window
at the workers fighting through the pouring rain
She's searching through the stations for an unfamiliar song
And she's thinking 'bout all the places where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile because she knows exactly how to carry on
So run baby run baby run baby run baby run
Run baby run baby run baby run baby run
From the old familiar faces and their old familiar ways
To the comfort of the strangers, slipping out before they say "so long"
Baby loves to run
She's searching through the stations for an unfamiliar song
And she pictures all the places where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile that shows she knows exactly how to carry on
So run baby run baby run baby run baby run (repeat to fade)
I think there's actually two electric guitars on the recording, but they're
doing much the same thing as each other. During the verse, they're playing
something along these lines

Arpeggiate the rest of the verse chords in this way as well.
The following is played over "Run baby run ..."

Everything else just follows the chords.
LEAVING LAS VEGAS
SOL /LA /SI DOsus2 SOL/SI LA7sus REsus RELife springs eternal on a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing streak in an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my tv set and I check the odds and I, and I place my bet
I pour a drink and I pull the blinds - I wonder what I'll find
I'm leaving Las Vegas, the lights so bright
Palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
Used to be I could drive up to Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker to demonstrate his might
But these days it seems nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
I'm leaving Las Vegas, oh, the lights so bright
Blackjack on a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
MImFor good
I'm standing in the middle of the desert
- SOL SOL/SI
Waiting for my ship to come in
MIm But now no joker, no jack, no king
DOsus2 RECan take this loser hand and make it win
I'm leaving Las Vegas, oh
I'm leaving Las Vegas for good
For good
I quit my job as a dancer at the Lido des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddly line between the things you want
And the things you have to do
I'm leaving Las Vegas, the lights so bright
Palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

The bass, acoustic and electric guitars each play repeating parts throughout
the most of this.
There is a two bar drum introduction and then the bass comes in with

(Palm muting throughout)
For the chorus, the electric plays more - without the palm muting and
possibly uses fuller chords.
The bass line for the bridge section goes like this
|-------|---------|-------|---------|-------|---------|-------|------------|

The acoustic and electric strum the chords over this - I can't be bothered
typing these parts up (sorry)
STRONG ENOUGH
RE SOL SIm LAGod, I feel like hell tonight
(The) tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?
MIm RE SOL LA SIm DO SOL LALie to me, I promise I'll believe
MIm RE SOL LA SIm DO SOL LALie to me, but please don't leave

I make the rules up as I go
It's try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?
[Are you strong enough] to be my man?
[Are you strong enough] to be my man?
[Are you strong enough] my man?
When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Will you be strong enough to be my man?
Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave

This song is a bit of a swine to transcribe - it doesn't involve any
difficult playing techniques, but it does involve a lot of guitars jumping
in and out of the mix. The following is an approximation of the main guitar
parts.
Guitar 1 plays the following riff twice for the introduction, and then four
times for the first verse.

Tricky, isn't it! Obviously, the chord isn't always a G (and a D), so
follow the chords
There is also a lead guitar which plays the following during the chorus
('Wouldn't it be good..'):

I guess you thought I'd shine good morning in some good morning Jack -

Chords: Dm - x x x 10 10 10 G7 - xxx767
Bb7 - x x x 10 9 10 A7b9 - xxx688 or xx7688
There are at least three guitars on the recording here (not counting the
spectacular bass-line). There are two electrics, one on each side, and some
acoustic stuff too. The left electric plays with the chords as shown above
in a suitably funky manner -
- + + + +
|------9/10-10-10-10----10----------10----9/10-|
|------9/10-10-10-10----10----------10----9/10-|
|------9/10-10-10-10----10----------10----9/10-| etc
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
(compression makes this sound well cool)
Meanwhile, the right electric plays this repeatedly -
|-------15-13-----------------|-------15-13-------------|
|-------------15--------13h15-|-------------15----------|
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|
When you get to the G7 chord , the two electrics keep on with what they're
doing, but an acoustic slide guitar does this -
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|/12----------|/12----------|/12----------|/12----------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
Then an acoustic guitar (I'm not sure whether or not it's the same one -
you could give the part to one or both of the electric guitars since they
drop out here) plays the chords in much the same way as the left guitar was
doing up to now -
|------10---10-10-------10----10-10---10-10----|
|------9----9--9--------9-----9--9----9--9-----|
|------10---10-10-------10----10-10---10-10----| etc
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
When you reach the Dm chord, the electrics go back to what they were doing,
and the acoustic plays
|-----10--10------------------|-----10--10------------------|
|/10----10--10----------------|/10----10--10----------------|
|-------------7--/10----------|-------------7--/10----------|

- + + + + + + + +

|-------------7--/10----9-----|-------------7--/10-9--7-----|
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
After the second verse, this becomes
|-----10--10------------------|-----10--10------------------|
|/10----10--10----------------|/10----10--10----------------|
|-------------7--/10----------|-------------7--/10----------|

THE NA-NA SONG
LAVideo countdown cyber phallic optics
Profligate talk shows scrounging for a topic
Rock-a-buy gravy train cradle's gonna rock me
37 million's what Larry Parker got me
World War XIV, my first Sony
Beatles wrote the Nike song and called it macaroni
Billy Jean Burger King, chauvinist pig pen
U.S. Army only wants a few straight men
Na-na, na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na
Panaflex, Soloflex, Genuflect, Pope
What the world needs now is babies, gun and hope
Guardian angel dust in the wind cries Mary
Wanna be Madonna but the price is too high, very
Perfect rhythm Nazis in the pagan rhythm nation
Everybody's equal in the glow of radiation
Gotta four wheel drive and I park it in the driveway
When I get drunk I drive it on the parkway
Gotta get a TV set for my car
Tonight's the Battle of the Network Stars
Na-na, na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na
Na-na, na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na
Sanaflush Bud-Bowl makin' me sick
Cause anybody in a helmet looks just like a dick
Steely Dan, rather be hammer than a nail
The Serbs, the Poles, and the cheque's in the mail
Eat, sleep, live, die, @#$%ing record label
G Gordon Liddy under the table, table, table
Clarence Thomas organ grinder Frank Dileo's dong
Maybe if I let him I'd have had a hit song
Na-na, na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na
(Repeat to fade)
That's right, A the whole way through! - I always suspected that three
chord rock and roll was complicating things unnecessarily...
There's no guitar on this song at all, so just strum along.
However, I'm not too sure whether or not anybody in the States will have
this, but there was a free limited edition live CD released with the album
over here recorded at the BBC studios in London, which finishes with the
song "Volvo Cowgirl" - this is just The Na-na song with different chords
put to it. I'll transcribe it if anyone's interested...
NE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY
- LA SOL FA#m RE
It's obvious the trouble we're in
When your father pulls up in a Mercedes Benz
He says he just happened to be in the neighbourhood
But before he leaves he slips the landlord the rent
You say, "It's just a question of eliminating obstacles"
As you throw your dinner out the kitchen door
You say, "I know how you try
LA SOL FA#m SOL FA#mBut, honey, let's eat out tonight"
RE /MI /FA# LA SOL FA#mNo one said it would be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
No one said it would be easy
No one thought we'd come this far
You can't seem to ever fold up a shirt
I bring it up and you think I'm a jerk
But I think we're here to stay
I can't imagine it any other way
No one said it would be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
No one said it would be easy
No one thought we'd come this far
- FA#m SOL LA SIm
Sometimes I wonder who he's picturing
MIm When he looks at me
SOL FA#mWhen he looks at me and smiles
LA SOL FA#m RE- LA SOL FA#m SOL
No one said it would be easy
No one said it'd be this hard
No one said it would be easy

WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
- LAm RE FA SOL x2
LAm RE I'm so glad you're awake; that you're not like the others
FA SOLCause they're so straight-laced and no fun
Gosh that's nice, that lingerie
Makes me feel like .. oh, I don't know
- LAm RE/LA LAm
You're a very pretty thing - you remind me of someone
RE/LA You must have heard some awful nasty things about me, but
FA LAmWhat I can do for you there's no one else on God's green earth can do
FA LAmWhat I can do for you there's no one else on God's green earth can do
- RE MIm FA
Just ask anybody, they'll tell you that it's true
SOL MIm DO SOL/SI LAm There's no one else on earth can do the things that I can do for you
(For you, for you) x8
You're never gonna make it all by yourself
You're gonna need a friend, you're gonna need my help
I have so much to offer if you just be nice
If you do what I say and don't make me say it twice
- LAm RE/LA
Do you mind if I just rub my hand up, thus
LAm RE/LA Come on just my hand, come on just my hand.
LAm RE/LAYou got to understand: I'm gonna be your man
- LAm RE/LA
I'm gonna be your man, you're gonna need me (I'm gonna be your man)
LAm RE/LA I'm gonna make you understand, yeah (I'm gonna be your man...)
LAm RE/LAI'm gonna be your man, gonna be, I'm gonna be your man (I'm gonna be ..)
What I can do for you there's no one else on God's green earth can do
What I can do for you there's no one else on God's green earth can do
Just ask anybody, they'll tell you that it's true
There's no one else on earth can do the things that I can do for you
(For you, for you) x lots
(There's no else on earth can do those things
that I can do, that I can do for you)
There is one guitar on the recording (probably a telecaster with a bit of
slapback echo for extra coolness) which comes in on the line "You're a very
pretty thing.." - I've only transcribed as far as the link into the second
verse because:
a - once you get the idea of what's going on, it's kind of fun to improvise
b - I'm lazy

ALL I WANNA DO
SIb6Hit it!
LA SIb6This ain't no disco
- LA SIb6
It ain't no country club either
LA This is LA!
MI"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
DO REsays the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos of nothing, he says his name is William,
but I'm sure he's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me and I wonder if he's
ever had a day of fun in his whole life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
in a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars on their lunch break
hosing and scrubbin as best they can in skirts in suits
- LA SIb6
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
LA SIb6 Back to the phone company, the record store, too
LAWell they're nothing like Billy and me, cause
MI DO7 REAll I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
- MI DO7 RE
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
MI DO7 SI7 All I wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels from his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar then he lights every match in an oversized pack
letting each one burn down to his
thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out
and he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor
And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd
(Same chords as verse) Otherwise the bar is ours,
The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars
The sun and the moon, but
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling the party's just begun
All I wanna do is have some fun, I won't tell you that you're the only one
MI DO7 RE MIAll I wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd
- DO SI7 MI
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd
- MI DO7 RE MI DO7 RE MI DO7 SI7 MI (E7)
Chords: Bb6-6x8786 A-577655 E-022100 C-x32010 D-xx0232 C7-x32310
There are two guitars on the recording - one is an acoustic which strums the
chords as shown above (although outside the chorus all you can hear is
its picking noise) and the other is an electric which plays the funky intro
with wah-wah:
|---------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|-9/10--10----9/10--10----9/10--10|-----9/10--10----11--11--11h13p11--| x2

The following is the solo, the first four bars of which are also played twice
over the line "We are drinking beer on Tuesday.." and once over the line
"thick fingers before..".

Finally, right at the very end of the song, strum the following E7 chord
backwards (ie from high to low)
- -12--- - -12--- - -13--- -
- -12--- - -14--- - -12--- -
WE DO WHAT WE CAN

We all would, but I do what I can, I do what I can
- MI7 MI7-9 LAm MI7 MI7+9 MI7-9 LAm
Downstairs he's playing Kenton, the Magnavox sighs
MI7 LAm MI7 LAm But oh how the music has changed in all of our lives
MI7 LAm MI7-9 MI7 LAm6He says "nobody listens to modern jazz
- MI7+9 MI7-9 LAm LA
and I'll never have what those guys have"
He says "I do what I can, I work for a living

And it's good to be alive, but everything's different
Since Leo died, I do what I can
MI7-9 MI7 LAsus4 LAm MI7 LAsus4 LAm

But it's good to be alive, and these are the choices
We make to survive - you do what you can
Weird jazzy chord city! I've tried to transcribe an accurate representation
of most of the chords, but understand that most of the chords for the verse
would have been improvised over the vague guidelines of Am followed by E7.
Note that I have just called all the weird Am chords "Am", so they can be
played as Am-002210, 577555, or 007555; Asus2-002200; A7sus2-002000,
Amadd9-577500 or 007500; or Am7add9-575555 or 005500. I have, however, noted
a couple of especially weird ones - Am11-00543x and Am6 002212.
The E type chords are E7-020130, 020100(E'), 076750 or 076707(E*);
E7+9-07678x; and E7-9 - 07676x.
The chords for the chorus are Dm-xx0231 or x57765; A/C#-x42225 or x42255;
C-x32010; Bb9-5 (my favourite!)-010110; then E7' and Am as shown above.
There is a chord progression in the first two choruses (but not the last)
at the point marked with asterisks - goodness knows what the chords should
be called: A-x07655, ?-x07676, ?-x07565, ?-x05433.
The chords for the bridge ("Is this the end of..") go along these lines

I SHALL BELIEVE
- MI LA
Come to me now, and lay your hands over me
MI DO#m SI Even if it's a lie say it will be alright
LAAnd I shall believe
MI LAI'm broken in two, and I know you're on to me
- MI DO#m SI
That I only come home when I'm so all alone
LA MI But I do believe
DO#m SI LAThat not everything is gonna be the way you think it ought to be
DO#m SI LAIt seems like every time I try to make it right it all comes down on me
- DO#m SI FA# LA
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
MI LA MI LA And I shall believe, and I shall believe
Open the door and show me your face tonight
I know it's true, no one heals me like you
And you hold the key
Never again would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight, but your love is alright
And I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way you think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right it all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe, I shall believe
And I shall believe
(Same chords as chorus) That not everything is gonna be the way you think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right it all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe, I shall believe
I shall believe, I shall believe
I shall believe, and I shall believe
C#m B A (hold)
Please say honestly you won't give up on me...
And I shall believe. (x15)
Another song that demonstrates the power of underplaying.
One acoustic guitar does this -
|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------| (repeat ad infinitum)
|-4---4-2-----|-4---4-2-----|
|-------------|-------------|
|-------------|-------------|
throughout. One electric with its tone control turned down does this -
(-------------Intro-------------)

|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-------|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-2-----|-0-----|
|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-------|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-------|
(etc) throughout with plam muting - follow the chords, obviously. The only
variation in this is on the F# chord in the chorus -
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-2-----|-------|
|-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-|-0-----|-------|
|-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-|-------|-------|
There is also another part which I think is a guitar, but a pretty strange
sounding one. I suspect that it must be using a volume pedal or else some
kind of sustaining device like an E-bow, a Fernandes sustainer pickup or
good old fashioned compression. Once again, it's wonderfully underplayed,
so tabbing it out completely would be pointless.
However, it comes in on the second half of the first verse and goes
something like this -
|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|

Everything else just follows the

LEAVING LAS VEGAS
SOL /LA /SI DOsus2 SOL/SI LA7susLife springs eternal on a
- REsus RE
..gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing
..streak in an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my tv set and I
..check the odds and I, and I
..place my bet
I pour a drink and I pull the
..blinds - I wonder what I'll find
I'm leaving Las Vegas, the lights
..so bright
Palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday
..night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
Used to be I could drive up to
..Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker to
..demonstrate his might
But these days it seems nowhere is
..far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
I'm leaving Las Vegas, oh, the
..lights so bright
Blackjack on a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
MImFor good
I'm standing in the middle of the
..desert
SOL SOL/SIWaiting for my ship to come in
- MIm
But now no joker, no jack, no
..king
- DOsus2 RE
Can take this loser hand and
..make it win
I'm leaving Las Vegas, oh
I'm leaving Las Vegas for good
For good
I quit my job as a dancer at the
..Lido des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddly line between the
..things you want
And the things you have to do
I'm leaving Las Vegas, the lights
..so bright
Palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday
..night
Leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas, the

The bass, acoustic and electric

possibly uses fuller chords.

This song is a bit of a swine to
..transcribe - it doesn't involve
..any
difficult playing techniques, but
..it does involve a lot of guitars
..jumping
in and out of the mix. The
..following is an approximation of
..the main guitar
parts.
Guitar 1 plays the following riff
..twice for the introduction, and
..then four
times for the first verse.

There are at least three guitars
..on the recording here (not
..counting the
spectacular bass-line). There are
..two electrics, one on each side,
..and some
acoustic stuff too. The left
..electric plays with the chords
..as shown above
in a suitably funky manner -
+ + +- +
|------9/10-10-10-10----10--------
|------9/10-10-10-10----10--------

-|--10----9/10-|
-|--10----9/10-|
-|--10----9/10-| etc
-|-------------|
-|-------------|
-|-------------|
(compression makes this sound well
..cool)
Meanwhile, the right electric
..plays this repeatedly -
|-------15-13-----------------|---
|-------------15--------13h15-|---
|-----------------------------|---
|-----------------------------|---
|-----------------------------|---
|-----------------------------|---
...
-|----15-13-------------|
-|----------15----------|
-|----------------------|
-|----------------------|
-|----------------------|
-|----------------------|
When you get to the G7 chord , the
..two electrics keep on with what
..they're
doing, but an acoustic slide
..guitar does this -
|-------------|-------------|-----
|-------------|-------------|-----
|/12----------|/12----------|/12--
|-------------|-------------|-----
|-------------|-------------|-----
|-------------|-------------|-----
...
-|--------|-------------|
-|--------|-------------|
-|--------|/12----------|
-|--------|-------------|
-|--------|-------------|
-|--------|-------------|
Then an acoustic guitar (I'm not
..sure whether or not it's the
..same one -
you could give the part to one or
..both of the electric guitars
..since they
drop out here) plays the chords in
..much the same way as the left
..guitar was
doing up to now -
|------10---10-10-------10----10
|------9----9--9--------9-----9-
|------10---10-10-------10----10

-|-10---10-10----|
-|-9----9--9-----|
-|-10---10-10----| etc
-|---------------|
-|---------------|
-|---------------|
When you reach the Dm chord, the
..electrics go back to what they
..were doing,
and the acoustic plays
|-----10--10------------------|---

There's no guitar on this song at

..will have
this, but there was a free limited

over here recorded at the BBC

song "Volvo Cowgirl" - this is

There is one guitar on the

..with a bit of
slapback echo for extra coolness)
..which comes in on the line
.."You're a very
pretty thing.." - I've only
..transcribed as far as the link
..into the second
verse because:
a - once you get the idea of
..what's going on, it's kind of
..fun to improvise
b - I'm lazy

"All I wanna do is have a little

says the man next to me out of
..nowhere
It's apropos of nothing, he says
..his name is William,
but I'm sure he's Bill or Billy or
..Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me and I
..wonder if he's
ever had a day of fun in his whole
..life
We are drinking beer at noon on
..Tuesday
in a bar that faces a giant car
..wash
The good people of the world are
..washing their cars on their
..lunch break
hosing and scrubbin as best they
..can in skirts in suits
- LA
They drive their shiny Datsuns
SIb6 ..and Buicks
LABack to the phone company, the

LA Well they're nothing like Billy

- DO7 SI7
..until the sun comes up over
..Santa Monica Blvd
I like a good beer buzz early in
..the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels
..from his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar then he
..lights every match in an
..oversized pack
letting each one burn down to his
thick fingers before blowing and
..cursing them out
and he's watching the bottles of
..Bud as they spin on the floor
And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his
..want ads
All I wanna do is have some fun, I
..got a feeling I'm not the only
..one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I
..got a feeling I'm not the only
..one
All I wanna do is have some fun,
..until the sun comes up over
..Santa Monica Blvd
(Same chords as verse) Otherwise the bar is ours,
The day and the night and the car
..wash too
The matches and the Buds and the
..clean and dirty cars
The sun and the moon, but
All I wanna do is have some fun, I
..got a feeling I'm not the only
..one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I
..got a feeling I'm not the only
..one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I
..got a feeling the party's just

its picking noise) and the other

But it's good to be alive, and
..these are the choices
We make to survive - you do what
..you can
Weird jazzy chord city! I've tried
..to transcribe an accurate
..representation
of most of the chords, but
..understand that most of the
..chords for the verse
would have been improvised over
..the vague guidelines of Am
..followed by E7.
Note that I have just called all
..the weird Am chords "Am",
..so they can be
played as Am-002210, 577555, or
..007555; Asus2-002200;
..A7sus2-002000,
Amadd9-577500 or 007500; or
..Am7add9-575555 or 005500. I
..have, however, noted
a couple of especially weird ones
..- Am11-00543x and Am6 002212.
The E type chords are E7-020130,
..020100(E'), 076750 or
..076707(E*);
E7+9-07678x; and E7-9 - 07676x.
The chords for the chorus are
..Dm-xx0231 or x57765; A/C#-x42225
..or x42255;
C-x32010; Bb9-5 (my
..favourite!)-010110; then E7' and
..Am as shown above.
There is a chord progression in
..the first two choruses (but not
..the last)
at the point marked with asterisks
..- goodness knows what the chords
..should
be called: A-x07655, ?-x07676,
..?-x07565, ?-x05433.
The chords for the bridge ("Is
..this the end of..") go along

And I shall believe
(Same chords as chorus) That not everything is gonna be
..the way you think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to
..make it right it all comes down
..on me
Please say honestly you won't give
..up on me
And I shall believe, I shall
..believe
I shall believe, I shall believe
I shall believe, and I shall
..believe
C#m B A
..(hold)
Please say honestly you won't give
..up on me...
And I shall believe. (x15)
Another song that demonstrates the
..power of underplaying.
One acoustic guitar does this -
|-------------|------------
|-------------|------------
|-------------|------------
|-4---4-2-----|-4---4-2----
|-------------|------------
|-------------|------------
...
-|-|
-|-|
-|-| (repeat ad infinitum)
-|-|
-|-|
-|-|
throughout. One electric with its
..tone control turned down does
..this -
(-------------Intro-------------)
|-------|-------|-------|-------|

-|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|-0-----|
...

-|-------|
-|-------|
-|-2-----|
-|-0-----|
-|-------|
(etc) throughout with plam muting
..- follow the chords, obviously.
..The only
variation in this is on the F#
..chord in the chorus -
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-2-----|-------|
|-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-|-0-----|-------|
|-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-|-------|-------|
There is also another part which I
..think is a guitar, but a pretty
..strange
sounding one. I suspect that it
..must be using a volume pedal or
..else some
kind of sustaining device like an
..E-bow, a Fernandes sustainer
..pickup or
good old fashioned compression.
..Once again, it's wonderfully
..underplayed,
so tabbing it out completely would
..be pointless.
However, it comes in on the second
..half of the first verse and goes
something like this -
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|/9-----|-----9-|-8-----|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|

-|-------|-------|-------|-------|
-|-------|-------|-------|-------|
The first half of the second verse
..goes like this -
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-9-----|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
|-------|-------|-------|-------|

..third verse go like this -
