Am for Palmer and Cadd9 to Em for Santos), but here is what was originally recorded for
Rundgren's "Hermit" album. Even he changes it to E and re-harmonizes it for its "On With
A Twist" re-recording. Playing notes are from L. Sprague, keeper of all things Todd
Rundgren at trconnection.com.

Playing Notes by L. Sprague:

(*1: Todd plays this on piano harmonizing the melody by alternating D and G triads
with his right hand, while playing the C and E bass notes with his left. It's
difficult to mimic this on guitar; my compromise is to not worry about keeping the
melody note in the top of the triad, but just alternate the chords. Here is a line of
tab showing the rhythm I use:)
E--|--------|--------|--------|--------|B--|7-8-87-7|-7-87-8-|8-7-7-87|----87--|G--|7-7-77-7|-7-77-7-|7-7-7-77|----77--|D--|7-9-97-7|-7-97-9-|9-7-7-97|----97--|A--|--------|--------|7-7-7-77|----77--|E--|8-8-88-8|-8-88-8-|--------|--------|We can't play this game anymore, but can we still be friends

Can't You See?

Words & Music by:
Toy Caldwell (Marshall Tucker Band)
This is fully transcribed in the "Southern Rock" issue of Guitar Legends, including various fills & solos.
Whichever intro vamp you choose simply repeats for the entire song. I've put the simple vamp above the
words just because it is easier to read.
Simple vamp:

Dsus4

D
C
Gonna take a freight train, down at the station, Lord.
G
D
I don't care where it goes.
Gonna climb a mountain, the highest mountain.
Jump off, nobody gonna know.
CHORUS:
Can't you see? Can't you see? What that woman, she been doing to me?
Can't you see? Can't you see? What that woman, she been doing to me?
I'm gonna find me a hole in the wall, Im gonna crawl inside and die.
Come a lady, now - a mean old woman, Lord - never told me goodbye.
CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL SOLO
Im gonna buy me a ticket, now, as far as I can.
Ain't a-never coming back.
Ride me a southbound, all the way to Georgia, now.
Til the train, it run out of track.
CHORUS:
Simple version:
chords include the high G on the E string, so they are:
C = 0 3 2 0 1 3
G5 = 3 x 0 0 3 3
D alternates between standard D (x 0 0 2 3 2), Dsus4 (x 0 0 2 3 3) & D(add 2) (x 0 0 2
3 0)
Truer version:
D = x x 0 2 3 2
Dsus4 = x x 0 2 3 3
Dsus4/C = x 3 0 2 3 3
D/C = Dsus2/C = x 3 0 2 3 0
Like the simple version, you are encouraged to play around with the D chord, adding
Dsus4 or Dsus2 where it just seems right. Or subbing D/C or Dsus4/C for the Dsus2/C
or subbing the D7 variations:
D7 = x x 0 2 1 2 D7sus4 = x x 0 2 1 3
D7sus2 = x x 0 2 1 0

Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played.
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid.
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you.
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude.
CHORUS:
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all.
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled.
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row.
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe.

Candy Man
(a.k.a. "Candy Man Blues" - version 1)

Words & Music:

Traditional

Often attributed to Rev. Gary Davis. But, by his own admission on the "Blues & Ragtime" CD,
the song came out in 1905, when he was just a boy.

C
Candy man, been here and gone.
G7
C
Candy man, been here and gone.
C
Candy man, salty dog,
F
C
If you can't be my Candy Man, you can't be my salty dog.
Candy man, candy man,
Candy man, fattin' hog,
Candy man, Santa Claus,
If you can't be my candy man, can't be my fattin' hog.
Candy man, candy man,
Candy man, been here and gone,
Candy man, salty dog,
I wish I was in New Orleans, sitting on the candy stand.
Run & fetch the pitcher, get the baby some beer. [fast - 6x]
I'd give anything in this God Almighty world
To get my Candy man home.
Candy man, salty dog,
Candy man, fattin' hog,
Candy man, salty dog,
If you can't be my Candy Man
You can't be my man at all.
note: There's been a whole lot of discussion as to what "salty dog" means (candy man seems fairly
obvious). Lomax states that in roughly translates to "outstanding individual." In Brooklyn, back in the
1940s, it meant oral sex. RG

The Cannons Of Christianity

Words & Music:
Phil Ochs
A
D
A
Christian cannons have fired at my days with the warning beneath the holy blaze
Bm
G
C
D
And bow to our authority Say the cannons of Christianity
Oh the children will be sent to schools.
Minds of clay are molded to their rules.
Learn to fear all of eternity warn the cannons of Christianity
Holy hands will count the money raised.
Like a king the Lord is richly praised
On a cross of diamond majesty say the cannons of Christianity
Missionaries will travel on crusades
The word is given, the heathen souls are saved
Conversions to our morality sigh the cannons of Christianity
Come the wars and turn the rules around
To bend your soul on the battleground
And the Lord will march beside me drone the cannons of Christianity
Cathedral walls will glitter with their gold
A the sermons speak through silver robes
Building castles amidst the poverty say the cannons of Christianity
Worship now and wash your sins away
Drop the coins, fall to your knees and pray
Cleanse the world of all hypocrisy smile the cannons of Christianity
Christian cannons have fired at my days
With the warning beneath the holy blaze
And bow to our authority say the cannons of Christianity

Notes from the official Phil Ochs Lyrics site:

"On to a tape I have, Phil, himself, says the chords are: D A D Bm G C D. Thanks to
cody for matching them up to the lyrics.
There has been some debate about whether the word is "cannons" or "canons". In the War
is Over song book, the former is used throughout and as the title.

Captain Wedderburn
Words & Music:
Traditional Scottish
[As done by Great Big Sea]
A noblemen's fair daughter came down a narrow lane.
And met with Captain Wedderburn, the keeper of the game.
"Now, my pretty fair miss, if it wasn't for the law,
You and I in the bed might lie. Roll me over next to the wall.
Roll me over next to the wall."
"Now, my dear good man", she said, "Do not be perplexed
Before that you might bed with me, you must answer questions six.
Six questions you must answer me, and I will ask them all
And you and I in the bed might lie. Roll me over next to the wall.
Roll me over next to the wall."
"What is rounder than a ring, and higher than the trees?
And what is worse than a woman's curse, and what is deeper than the sea?
What bird sings first, which one's best? Where does the dew first fall
And you and I in the bed might lie. Roll me over next to the wall.
Roll me over next to the wall."
"The earth is rounder than a ring, and heaven is higher than the trees,
The devil curse is worse than a woman's curse, and hell in deeper than the sea
The lark sings first, the thrush sings best, Earth is where the dew falls
And you and I in a bed might lie. Roll me over next to the wall.
And you and I in the bed might lie. Roll me over next to the wall.
Roll me over next to the wall."
He takes her by her lily-white hand and leads her down the hall.
And he takes her by her slender waist for fear that she might fall.
And he lays her on a bed of down without a doubt at all.
And he and she lie in one bed. Roll me over next to the wall.
And she and he lie in one bed. Roll me over next to the wall.
Roll me over next to the wall. Roll me over next to the wall.

Take me for a ride in your car, car.
Take me for a ride in your car, car.
Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,
Take me for a ride in your 3.5-liter Ferrari with torsion bar suspension and those imported
Venturi carburetors.
[spoken]
Hello, sports fans and welcome to Daytona Beach. You are about to hear the sound of an
Austin-Healey Sprite, trying desperately to keep up with the other Volkswagens in the race. It
will speed shift directly in front of the microphone and traveling approximately 1000 yards
further down the track will crash into a brick retaining wall. This entire spectacle starring
Steve Reeves as the handsome, wind-blown driver is being witnessed by a crowd of over
20,000 sadistic sports fans. We take you now to the track and the sound of the race.
[Someone makes the sounds of passing race cars, then after a pause, the sound of a twocylinder engine trying desperately to keep up, engine dying, then being restarted, then
shifting through the gears until it crashes.]

Oh, you're a mean old daddy but I like you----- fine.
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe, and I'll buy you a bottle of wine.
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down.
Let's have a round for these freaks & these soldiers,
A round for these friends of mine.
Let's have another round for the bright red Devil, who keeps me in this tourist town.
Oh, Carey, get out your cane and I'll put on some silver.
Oh, you're a mean old daddy but I like you fine.
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam, or maybe I'll go to Rome.
And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers round my room.
But let's not talk about fare-the-wells now, the night is a starry dome.
And the they're playing that scratchy rock & roll beneath the mantle of the moon.
Oh, Carey, get out your cane and I'll put on some silver.
Oh, you're a mean old daddy but I like you fine.
The wind is in from Africa, last night I couldn't sleep.
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave you, but it's really not my home.
Maybe it's been too long a time since I was scrambling down in the streets.
Now they got me used to that clean white linen and that fancy French cologne.
Oh, Carey, get out your cane and I'll put on some silver.
Oh, you're a mean old daddy but I like you fine.
Oh, Carey, get out your cane and I'll put on some silver.
Oh, you're a mean old daddy but I like you fine.

Cast Your Fate To The Wind

Words & Music:
Carel Weber & Vince Guaraldi

I shift my course along the breeze; won't sail upwind on memories.
The empty sky is my best friend,
And I just cast my fate to the wind.
BRIDGE: [chords unknown]
Time has such a way of changing someone throughout the years;
And now I'm rearranging my life through all my tears alone, alone.
There never was, there couldn't be,
A place in time for those like me,
Who'd drink the dark and laugh the day
And let their wildest dreams blow away.
BRIDGE REPRISE:
So, now I'm old, I'm wise and smart;
I'm just someone with half a heart.
I wonder how it might have been
Had I not cast my fate to the wind.

The Cat Came Back

(Background & Discussion)
Word has it that this song dates from the American Civil War (1860s). It was first
published in 1893 by Harry S. Miller (so, he gets the credit) under the title of "The Cat
Came Back: A Comic Negro Absurdity" (or more likely, given the times, as "The Cat Came
Back: A Nigger Absurdity"). It has also been entitled "And The Cat Came Back", "The Cat
That Couldn't [or Wouldn't] Stay Away" or just "The Cat".
It has been covered by countless artists through the decades and each has put their own
spin on the words. Through all the variations of the song, however, it still tells the story of
an unwanted cat and its many lives as it returns over & over to its reluctant owner. The
lyrics run the gamut from kid-tickling macabre to "safe for toddlers" Bowdlerized. It is a
great song to teach kids how to compose verses and the Wikipedia article on this tune has a
terrific discussion on other musical concepts that can be taught to children via this song.
You can also trace the evolution of American sociology & technology in the 20 th century
through its lyrics. The first published lyrics are the usual stereotypical minstrel show fare.
By the 1920s & 1930s, verses about steamships and cars have been added and even a verse
extolling Route 66 appears. In the 1960s, verses about rockets & A-Bombs have appeared
and the song has gone from grown-up minstrel song to classic children's song.
The tune & chords also vary greatly from version to version. Even those with the same
chord progression can have quite different melodies sung by the performers. In addition,
there is an instrumental bluegrass version of the song that seems to have a different melody
& chord structure altogether. However a rough timeline can be drawn on the evolution of
the chords:
1800s-1940s - people tended to play the classic, original version of the chords. Cover
versions were usually done by cowboy singers like Tex Morton & Doc Carson or traditional
roots musicians like Fiddlin' John Carson, D & Cisco Houston. The bluegrass instrumental
version was covered by no less than the inimitable Norman Blake, among others.
1950s-1960s - Sonny James makes the first Rockabilly version of this a hit. His version
has a rising bass line, however. Rolf Harris (with Sonny James' chords) & Chad Morgan (with
classic chords) picked up the song and made them novelty hits in Australia. The New Christy
Minstrels recorded their rather unique version & it became a folk hit.
1970s-on - At some point, someone took the Sonny James bass line, sent it down instead of
up & put the song in the minor "Stray Cat Strut" key that has become the modern chord
version. It became the iconic children's song most of us first learned and was covered by
children's artists like Rolf The Dawg (from "The Muppet Show"), Fred Penner, Sharon, Lois
& Bram (who have an interesting Big Band take on the tune), The Macabre Minstrels & many,
many more. It has also been covered by modern bands like Trout Fishing In America.
Present Day - with easy access to CDs, downloads & YouTube, you will see covers of every

Newer Section: p. C-95

version of the song and then some. Have fun adding your own versions to this legacy!
I first learned the modern version made popular by both Fred Penner's cover and the 1988
animated short "The Cat Came Back" by Cordell Barker (See it if you can!). Then, I recently
heard the older, traditional version at an open mike in Acton, MA. My research in finding
this original version to post opened the Pandora's Box to all this "Cat Came Back" madness
that ensues below.
As with "Preaching Blues (Up Jumped The Devil)" by Robert Johnson, it is easiest to
transcribe several versions of the lyrics to this song and several versions of the chords and
let you, the songster, pick & choose what you will. Enjoy!

3. Modern version in Em:

This version seems to date from the 1960s on and was also used by the Stray Cats as
the basis for their first hit "Stray Cat Strut". The chord structure is: i - bVII - VI - V7

4. Modern version in Am:

This version is for those for whom Em is a bad key or for those who would prefer a
stronger chord progression working down the neck with barre chords. It is
reminiscent of Chicago's early hit "25 or 6 to 4" with the same i - bVII - VI - V7 chord
structure.

The Cat Came Back: A Comic Negro Absurdity

(original 1893 Harry S. Miller version)

Words & Music:

Harry S. Miller

Per Wikipedia, this was also known as "The Cat Came Back: A Nigger Absurdity"; which makes sense
when one looks at the date and reads more about Miller. Miller was a Tin Pan Alley composer from
New York & Chicago and specialized in tunes that used a Georgian Black dialect. I assume that these
songs were picked up both by vaudeville performers (remember, Al Jolson's big hit was "Mammy" sung in blackface well into the 20th century) and minstrel shows (which also disparaged blacks with
tired stereotypes). That said, here are the original published words to "The Cat Came Back".

Dar was ole Mister Johnson, he had troubles ob his own -He had an ole yaller cat that couldn't leave its home.
He tried eb'ry thing he knew to keep de cat away -Eben sent it to de preacher, an' he tole it for to stay.
But de cat came back, he couldn't stay no long-er,
Yes de cat came back de very next day,
De cat came back -- thought she were a goner,
But de cat came back for it wouldn't stay away.
De cat did hab some company one night out in de yard,
Some one frowed a boot-jack, an' dey frowed it mighty hard,
Caught de cat behind de ear, she thought it rather slight
When along dar comes a brick-bat an' in knocked it out of sight.
But de cat came back, he couldn't stay no long-er,
Yes de cat came back de very next day,
De cat came back -- thought she were a goner,
But de cat came back for it wouldn't stay away.
Away across de ocean dey did send de cat at last,
Vessel only out a day and making water fast;
People all begin to pray, de boat begin to toss,
When a nodder vessel came along and took de people off.
But de cat came back, he couldn't stay no long-er,
Yes de cat came back de very next day,
De cat came back -- thought she were a goner,
But de cat came back for it wouldn't stay away.

Newer Section: p. C-99

On a telegraph wire sparrows sitting in a bunch;

Cat a feeling hungry, thought she'd like 'em for a lunch.
Climbing softly up de pole, an' when she reached de top
Put her foot upon de 'lectric wire, which tied her in a knot.
But de cat came back, he couldn't stay no long-er,
Yes de cat came back de very next day,
De cat came back -- thought she were a goner,
But de cat came back for it wouldn't stay away.
One time did gib de cat away to a man in a balloon
An' tole him for to gib it to de man in de moon;
But de b'loon it busted, sho, an' eb'rybody sed
It wer seben miles away or more dey picked de man up dead.
But de cat came back, he couldn't stay no long-er,
Yes de cat came back de very next day,
De cat came back -- thought she were a goner,
But de cat came back for it wouldn't stay away.
De cat was a possessor ob a fam'ly ob its own
Wid seben little kittens til dar comes a cyclone.
Blowed de houses all apart an tossed de cat around;
While de air was full ob kittens not a one was eber found.
But de cat came back, he couldn't stay no long-er,
Yes de cat came back de very next day,
De cat came back -- thought she were a goner,
But de cat came back for it wouldn't stay away.
De cat it were a terror and dey say it wer be best
To gib it to a nigger who was going out West.
De train going 'round de curve struck a broken rail,
Not a blessed soul aboard de train wer left to tell de tale.
But de cat came back, he couldn't stay no long-er,
Yes de cat came back de very next day,
De cat came back -- thought she were a goner,
But de cat came back for it wouldn't stay away.
A man down on de corner swore to kill de cat at sight,
Loaded up a musket full ob nails and dynamite,
Waited in de garden for de cat to come around;
Half-a-dozen little pieces ob de man was all dey found.

But de cat came back, he couldn't stay no long-er,

Little boy took de cat away, he got a dollar note.
Took it down to de ribber in a little open boat.
Tied a brick around its neck an' stone about a pound;
Now dey're grappling in de ribber for a little boy that's drowned.
But de cat came back, he couldn't stay no long-er,
Yes de cat came back de very next day,
De cat came back -- thought she were a goner,
But de cat came back for it wouldn't stay away.
While de cat lay a-sleeping an' a-resting one day,
'Round came an organ grinder an' he began to play;
De cat look'd around awhile an' kinder raised her head
When he played Ta-rah-dah-boom-da-rah, an' de cat dropped dead.
But its ghost came back to tell you about it -Yes, its ghost came back, between you and I.
Its ghost came back (maybe you will doubt it),
But its ghost came back just to bid 'em all goodbye.

The Cat Came Back

(Tex Morton version)

Words & Music:

Harry S. Miller

Tex' version employs the chords from the original 19 th century version of the song. He
tends to use "Sprechstimme" (the classical music term for "speaking the words") for some
of the verses to give it a feel of telling the story rather than singing the song.

(Rolf Harris version)

Rolf's cover uses the Sonny James version of the chords.

Old Uncle Judd had troubles of his own.
He had a scruffy yellow tom that wouldn't leave home.
He went to church one Sunday, one Sunday for advice.
The preacher said, "Leave him here, 't'would be so very nice."
CHORUS:
But the cat came back, the cat came back.
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back.
He just couldn't stay away.
He gave him to a man going up in a balloon'
And asked the chap to leave him with the Man in the Moon.
Well, the balloon it must have busted; well, that's what everybody said.
'Cause ten miles away they picked the man up dead.
CHORUS:
Old Uncle Judd swore he'd kill the cat on sight.
He loaded up his blunderbuss with nails & dynamite.
He aimed it at the spot where the tomcat would appear.
All they ever found was Uncle Judd's left ear...
[SPOPKEN:]
"Uh, where did they find it?"
"Well, it was just left 'ere."
CHORUS:
He broke into the house, ate everything in sight;
While outside this Irish fella was looking for a fight.

Got a message back, saying: "Landed up on Mars".
Said, "The men are doing fine and the monkey & the rat."
But they couldn't find a trace of the old yellow cat.

The Cat Came Back

(New Christy Minstrels version)

Words & Music:

Harry S. Miller

I'm not even going to try to give the chords for this one. It is as far afield of the others as the
Sharon, Lois & Bram Big Band version.
Well, just like everybody you have troubles of your own.
But let me tell you, Mister, of the sorrow I have known.
I had an old gray cat, that I couldn't bear to keep.
He spent the nights a-howl'n and he wouldn't let me sleep.
So, I put him in a box and I tied it up quite well.
I had some fellows help me and I paid them not to tell.
We put it in a boxcar, the Westbound Seven-Ten.
The train pulled away and was never seen again.
CHORUS:
But the cat came back, the very next day.
Yes the cat came back and he wouldn't stay away.
Meow, kitty! Meow, so pretty!
Meow, such a pity, but the cat came back.
So, I took him to the harbor and I put in on a ship.
I bid him "Bon Voyage!" for that oceanic trip.
The captain was obligin' and glad to help us out.
We tied him to the anchor so that there could be no doubt.
Well, we heard that sad report of that might storm at sea.
And though it may sound heartless, I was happy as could be.
The paper said the ship went down beneath a heavy gale.
And not a single soul was left to tell the awful tale.
CHORUS:
So, I gave him to a scientist, destined for the moon.
The cat was used for ballast in an outer space balloon.
I guess you know what happened, that balloon's up there still.
And early that next morning, guess what came across the hill.
[SPOKEN: "Meow! That's right!"]
Now, everyone in town was sworn to shoot that cat on sight.
With that crazy cat around you couldn't sleep at night.
We even formed a posse just to hunt that critter down.
You could hear the guns a-blazin' as they ran him out of town.
CHORUS:

Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own.
He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave its home;
He tried and he tried to give the cat away,
He gave it to a man goin' far, far away.
CHORUS:
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
[spoken:] Give me a "Meow". "Meow!"
The man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight,
He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite;
He waited and he waited for the cat to come around,
Ninety-seven pieces of the man is all that they found.
CHORUS:
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon,
He told him for to take it to the man in the moon;
The balloon came down about ninety miles away,
Where the man is now, well, I dare not say.
CHORUS:
He gave it to a man going way out West,
Told him for to take it to the one he loved the best;
First the train hit the track, then it jumped the rail,
Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale.
CHORUS:
The cat was a possessor of a family of its own,
With seven little kittens till there came a cyclone;
Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around,
The air was full of kittens, and not a one was ever found.

CHORUS:
He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note,
Told him for to take it up the river in a boat;
They tied a rope around its neck, it must have weighed a pound
Now, they drag the river for a little boy that's drowned.
CHORUS:
He gave it to a man going 'way out west.
He told him for to give it to the one he loved the best,
The train left the track, it hit a broken rail.
And not a soul was left alive to tell the tragic tale.
CHORUS:
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon,
He told him for to take it to the Man in the Moon;
The balloon came down about ninety miles away,
Where he is now, well, I dare not say.

The Cat Came Back

("Freddy Wilson" version)

Words & Music:

Harry S. Miller

I don't know whose cover this is, but the lyrics are much like Rolf Harris' Aussie version. Choose your chords!
Freddy Wilson had a cat that he didn't want to keep.
He offered it for sale, but no-one would buy it cheap.
He called upon the preacher to ask for his advice.
The preacher said, "Just leave him here, for it would be so nice."
CHORUS:
But the cat came back, he wouldn't stay away.
He was sitting on the porch on the very next day.
The cat came back, he didn't want to roam.
The very next day he was home sweet home.
Freddy put the cat on board a ship, was headed for Ceylon.
The ship was overloaded, about forty thousand ton.
Not many miles from shore that gallant ship went down.
There wasn't any doubt about it, everybody drowned.
CHORUS:
Freddy put the cat on board with a man in a balloon
Who would give the cat away to the Man up in the Moon.
The balloon it didn't rise, it burst in bits instead.
Ten miles away they found the man stone dead.
CHORUS:
Freddy Wilson took his gun and he hid behind a bush.
In the barrel of his gun lead and powder he did push.
He aimed it at the spot where the cat would appear.
The next day all they found was Freddie Wilson's ear.
CHORUS:
Now the cat sat on the porch and he ate a piece of cheese.
An Irishman came by, he was feeling well at ease.
The cat he was a-smiling, for he was fully fed.
The Irishman sang "Rule Britannia" and the cat fell dead.
CHORUS: [new words]
But his ghost came back, he wouldn't stay away
He was sitting on the porch on the very next day
His ghost came back, he didn't want to roam
He haunted Freddy's house and his home sweet home

Original Words & Music:

Harry S. Miller

Here are some of the many, many versions of verses I've discovered on the web. Pick &
choose and make up yer own. That's the joy of song lore.

Verse 1:

Now old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own

He had an old yellow cat that wouldn't leave home
Tried everything he knew to do to keep the cat away
Took him up to Canada and told him for to stay...
Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave its home
He tried and he tried to give the cat away
He gave it to a man goin' far, far away
Old Mr. Johnson, he had troubles all his own,
He had an old yeller tomcat who wouldn't leave his home.
He tried and he tried to give that cat away,
He gave it to a man who was going far away.
Now Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own,
He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home!
A special plan with deception as the key,
One little cat; how hard could it be?
Well Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own,
Still the yellow cat wouldn't leave his home!
Steps were needed to remove the little curse,
The old man knew it couldn't get any worse.
Now old Miss Johnson lived all alone
Had an old yeller cat that wouldn't leave home.
She tried everything she knew
To make the cat go away

And told him for to take it up the river in a boat.

Well they gave a kid a quarter to let that cat drown.
He rowed him out to the river, there was water all around.
He tied a rope around his neck, it must have weighed a pound.
Now they're draggin' that old river for the little boy that drowned.
He gave it to a little boy who lived upon a boat;
It was out upon the river, it was out and on the float.
He tied a weight around its neck, it must've weighed ten pounds;
Next day they dragged the river for the little boy who drowned.
She gave him to a boy goin' out in a boat,
And she gave the boy a dollar just to set the cat afloat
Well the boat tipped over and the boy drowned
Two miles away, they picked the boy up drowned,

And told him for to take it to the Man in the Moon.
The balloon came down about ninety miles away,
And where he is now, well, I dare not say.

And they told him to give him to the Man in the Moon
Well the balloon, it busted and everybody said,
"Ten miles away they picked a man up dead..."

And asked him for to leave him with the man in the moon.
Well the balloon burst and back to earth it head,
Six miles away they picked the man up dead.

Someone threw a boot-jack, and they threw it mighty hard;

Somebody threw a boot, and threw it awful hard
Hit the cat behind the ear and he thought it was a slight
And down came a brick and knocked him out of sight...

Away across the ocean they did send the cat at last,
Vessel only out a day and making water fast;

They thought with all the rain there, he'd surely drown
When the rain come down on the ninety-second day
The whole darn city just a-floated out the bay...

On a telegraph wire, sparrows sitting in a bunch,

The cat was feeling hungry, thought she'd like them for a lunch;
Climbing softly up the pole, and when she reached the top,
Put her foot upon the electric wire, which tied her in a knot.
On the telegraph wire the birds were sittin' in a bunch
Saw an even number, thought he'd have `em for his lunch
Climbed softly up the pole, until he reached the top
Put his foot upon the electric wire, tied him in a knot...

Catfish Blues
(original)

[see also "Rollin' Stone", "Still A Fool" & "Two Trains Runnin'"]
Words & Music by:
Nehemiah Curtis "Skip" James
I've listened to many, many variations on this song. Skip James wrote the "official Catfish Blues". Muddy
Waters has two variations on it ("Two Trains Runnin'" and "Rollin' Stone"). Hendrix does a combo of the two.
There are as many chord variations as there are players. It is basically a one- or two-chord song, played in
major OR minor, depending upon the players' preference. Skip James seems to have played it in E. Most
players let the voice lead the guitar (as it should be) rather than the other way 'round (as we usually do). I've
posted below verbatim - the chord shapes & transcription posted by resin8or on the IGS Acoustic Guitar
Forum. This is, however, the perfect song to start developing your Delta Blues technique the way the masters
did by listening and playing what feels right.
E7
A7
I would rather be a little catfish; so, I could swim way down in the sea.
A7/E
E7
I would have somebody, somebody settin' hooks for me, settin' outta hooks for me...
You know, I went to my baby's house, she told me to sit down on the step.
"Son, you could come right on in
Because my husband just now left, just now left, he just now..."
And I asked my baby to let me sit down 'side her bed.
"Turn on your heater, baby, 'til it turn cherry red, cherry red..."
That's the reason I'd rather be a little catfish so, I could swim way down in the sea.
I would have many-some of these women
Settin' out a line for me, settin' out a line for me...
You know, I went to the church house and they called on me to pray.
I got down on my knees, but I didn't have no word to say.
Not a word to say, word to say
That's the reason I'd rather be a little catfish so, I could swim way down in the sea.
I would have somebody, somebody settin' out a line for me.
Settin' out a line for me, a line for me...
I don't wanna be no tadpole and I don't wanna be no bullfrog.
And if I can't be a catfish, I won't swim at all.
I won't swim at all, swim at all...
That's the reason I want to be a little catfish so, I could swim way down in the sea.
I would have these good-lookin' women settin' out a hook for me.
Settin' out a hook for me, hook for me.

Resin8or's notes on the song:

"List the chord forms out from low to high like so:
003430
003230
000032
000100

(Dm7)
(Dm11)
(Dm9)
(D)

x10030 (Bflat add9)

x32230 (Cadd9)
We can then noodle around from the forms you're using.
Intro:
Hit open 6th string with thumb then "tickle" the 1st and 3rd strings with thumb and index at fret 12.
Not a pinch, but an alternating pattern. Move this one fret at a time up to fret 16 then down to 14. Now
pluck 1st string fret 12 with index finger and then 2nd string fret 13. Now back to string 1 fret 14, then
12 now 2nd string fret 13. Now slide up to fret 12 on second string (let string 1 ring), drop to fret 10
then fret 8 (string 1, fret 7) now move down to the root position for the classic Skip James hammer on
at fret 1, string 3.
Main Body of Song: You can do a little bass run leading into the root chord. String 6 fret 5, then string 5
open, string 5 fret 3. Okay now main chord shape in verse sounds like string 3 fret 1 and string 2 fret 3.
(000130) I guess that's a Dmaj7, not sure. I'm not the chord professor. That repeats while Skip sings "I
would rather, be a little catfish" then move back up to fret 12 and do the tickle thing (for lack of a
better term) on strings 1 and 3. Then the descending line runs down string 3 at frets 7,4 and 2. Let the
1st string ring here. Skippy is singing "in the sea" during this run. Back to root position briefly then up
to fret 7 string 1, fret 8 string 2 for the classic delta whine thing alternate by fretting the top string at
fret 9 then back to 7 all the while holding string 2 at fret 8. Skip is singin' " I would have somebody".
Now move to the root position and fret strings 2 & 3 at fret two. (I just barre the two strings here with
my middle finger). Skip's completing his phrase here. "Somebody". Now this next section gets tricky
and is a little difficult to sing and play, but anyway in the root position you can do a little of that
hammer on thing at fret 1 string 3, then string 1 fret 3, string 1 open, then root chord (000130). This
almost repeats, but the end of the phrase shifts to the bass strings by fretting string 6 at fret 5 and
doing a little hammer on from fret 3 to 4 on string 5 and then finally resolving back to the root chord.
There's a little descending bass run here before the next verse by fretting string 6 at fret 7, then 5, and
then 3, root chord and repeat.
That's pretty much the basic structure of the tune. Bear in mind this is not a note-for-note transcription
by any means and is just intended to convey the basic grips of the tune. Have Fun!"

C'est La Vie
Words & Music:
Greg Lake & Pete Sinfield (Emerson, Lake & Palmer)

I've given both Rob Michel's Am easier version and bloodsucker's more true Dm version power tab (which is an
excellent one). For the latter, play in drop D tuning and use the open high E string as the "add 2" drone. For
both versions, use a simple arpeggio that sweeps all 6 six strings. "C'est la Vie" is literally translated into
English as "It's the life", but a better translations is it's common colloquial usage: "Such is life". It is first on
Works, Vol. I.

In the night, do you light a lover's fire?
Do the ashes of desire for you remain?
Like the sea, there's a love to deep to show.
Took a storm before my love flowed for you. C'est la vie...
CHORUS to DOUBLE-TIME SQUEEZBOX SOLO:
Like a song out of tune and out of time.
All I needed was a rhyme for you. C'est la vie...
Do you give? Do you live from day to day?
Is there no song I can play for you? C'est la vie...

There are stars in every city,
G

In every house and on every street.
D7(add9)
G [or C to G - a much debated topic]
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
A
D
Their names are written in concrete.
Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard.
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard.
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne.
But she turned her back on stardom
Because she wanted to be alone.
CHORUS:
C
G
D
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard.
C
G
D
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of.
C
G
D
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame.
C
G
D
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive.
And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by.
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
'Cause he's liable to turn and bite.
But stand close by Bette Davis
Because hers was such a lonely life.

Newer Section: p. C-153

If you covered him with garbage,

George Sanders would still have style.
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn round and smile.
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
'Cause she's not very tough.
She should have been made of iron or steel
But she was only made of flesh and blood.
CHORUS:
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star.
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are.
And those who are successful
Be always on your guard.
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along Hollywood Boulevard.
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show.
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes.
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain.
And celluloid heroes never really die.
CHORUS: [new first line]
You can see all the stars as you walk along...
La la la la....
Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain.
Oh, celluloid heroes never really die.
I wish my life was non-stop Hollywood movie show.
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes.
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain.
And celluloid heroes never really die.

And Joe DiMaggio, don't say it ain't so.
You know the time is now.
CHORUS: [then repeat intro chords]
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat & a brand new pair of shoes.
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all -- a moment in the sun.
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye.

Centerfold
Words & Music:
J. Geils Band
[basic riff for song is:]
G F C F C [2x]

She was pure like snowflakes, no one could ever stain.
The memory of my Angel could never cause me pain.
Em

The years go by, I'm looking through a girlie magazine,
Em

And there's my homeroom Angel on the pages in between.
CHORUS: [over basic riff]
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold.
My Angel is a centerfold, Angel is a centerfold.
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold.
Angel is a centerfold.
Slip me notes under the desk while I was thinking about her dress.
I was shy, I turned away before she caught my eye.
I was shakin' in my shoes whenever she flashed those baby blues.
Somethin' had a hold on me when Angel passed close by.
Those soft and fuzzy sweaters, too magical to touch.
To see her in that neglige is really just too much.
CHORUS:
Na na... [etc. over main riff 2x]
It's OK, I understand; this ain't no Never-Never Land.
I hope that when this issue's gone, I'll see you when your clothes are on.
We'll take your car, yes we will, take your car and drive it.
Take it to a motel room and take 'em off in private.
A part of me has just been ripped, the pages from my mind are stripped
Oh, no, I can't deny it. Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it!
CHORUS:
Na na... [etc. over main riff repeat and out]

And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware of what they're going through.

Don't tell them to grow up and out of it.
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes. Turn and face the strange. Ch-ch-changes.

Time may change me, but you can't trace time.

Champagne Supernova
(chords & lyrics)

Words & Music:

Noel Gallagher (Oasis)
Tabbed by: ste_rigs

Note from ste_rigs: "As well as give the correct chords, I thought I'd give a set of chords which sounds better when
playing an acoustic version! You can obviously still use the correct chords with an acoustic guitar but the changes are
subtle and so without the other instruments it just doesn't sound as good!"

Champagne Supernova
(full tab)

Words & Music:

Noel Gallagher (Oasis)

Wow. I wish I knew the name of this tabber to give credit where it is due. This version has both the intricate
guitar parts and accurate chords, if you just want to strum along. Notes from the tabber: "There's a whole
lot of stuff going on in this song (including 3 guitars), so I've tried to transcribe everything. The 1st guitar
(Bonehead) is acoustic-sounding during all verses and the 1st chorus and plays with distortion only during the
2nd &amp; 3rd choruses, the bridges, and musical interlude. The second guitar (Noel) plays the intro solo and
the fills during all the verses and pre-choruses with a muffled effect, and plays little solo parts with a dirtysounding distortion. The 3rd guitar (Paul Weller, I believe) steps in with a cleaner but heavier distortion to play
the guitar solo during the musical interlude."

And we'll wear it 'til night comes.
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning & the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains & a rainbow on my wall,
Red, green & gold to welcome you, creams in crystal beads to beckon.
Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
There's a sun show every second.

And pigeons fly, and papers lie, waiting to blow away.
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning & the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey & a bowl of oranges, too.
And the light poured in like butterscotch and stock to all my senses.
Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses.
When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away.
I will bring you incense owls at night
By candlelight, by jewel light, if only you will stay.
G
Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning.

The Christians And The Pagans

Words & Music:
Dar Williams
A D A Bm

A
D
Bm
E
Amber called her uncle. Said, "We're up here for the holiday.
Jane and I were having Solstice, now we need a place to stay."
And her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on the tree
He watched his son hang candy canes all made with red dye #3
A
Bm
D
E
He told his niece, "It's Christmas Eve. I know our life is not your style."
She said, "Christmas is like Solstice and we miss you and it's been an while."
A
D
Bm
E
So, the Christians and the Pagans sit together at the table.
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able.
A
Bm
D
E
Just before the meal was served, hands were held and prayers were said.
Sending hope for peace on earth to all their God and Goddesses.
The food was great, the tree plugged in, the meal had gone without a hitch,
'Til Timmy turned to Amber and said, "Is it true that you're a witch?"
His mom jumped up and said, "The pies are burning!" and she hit the kitchen.
And it was Jane who spoke. She said, "It's true your cousin's not a Christian.
But we love trees. We love the snow. The friends we have the world we share.
And you find magic in your gods and we find magic everywhere."
So the Christians and the pagans sit together at the table.
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able.
Where does magic come from? I think that magic's in the learning
'Cause now when Christians sit with pagans, only pumpkin pies are burning.
When Amber tried to do the dishes, her aunt said, "Really, no, don't bother."
Amber's uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her father.
He thought about his brother. How they hadn't spoken in a year.
He thought he'd call him up and say, "It's Christmas and your daughter's here."
He thought of other sons and brothers saw his young son tug his sleeve
Saying, "Can I be a Pagan?" Dad said, "We'll discuss it when they leave."
So the Christians and the pagans sit together at the table.
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able.
Lighting trees in darkness learning new ways from the old.
Making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold.

Chuck E.'s In Love

Words & Music:
Rickie Lee Jones
Transcribed: Jeff Elkins

Notes from Jeff Elkins: "Strum the verses and chorus cleanly and anticipate the beat. Play the bridge muted.
The tempo is upbeat, but play freely - The G always falls on the '1' beat and the Am7 and C6 fall JUST
BEFORE the 3 (the + of 2). The last verse is nearly all G and C6."

She started me smokin and drinkin whiskey.

The lines on my face make a well-written page.

On women and whiskey and what they can do.
CHORUS:
Write on the cross at the head of my grave:
"For women and whiskey, here lies a poor slave.
Take warning, dear stranger. Take warning, dear friend."
Then write in big letters these words at the end:

Cigarettes are a blight on the whole human race.
A man is a monkey with one in his face.
Take warning, dear friend. Take warning, dear brother:
A fire on one end a fool on the other.

And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons,
Skated over ten clear frozen streams.
Words like "when you're older" must appease him,
And promises of someday make his dreams.
CHORUS:
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now,
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town.
And they tell him, "Take your time, it won't be long now,
'Til you drag your feet to slow the circle down."
CHORUS:
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty,
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true.
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams, and plenty.
Before the last revolving year is through.

Note from Gabe Opio: "This song is broken up into sections because it is an instrumental, most if not all
instrumentals are separated into parts so it's easier to follow along with it. I tabbed this from his VH1
performance so if you have that video, you can follow along with that when you play."

City Of New Orleans

Words & Music:
Steve Goodman & Arlo Guthrie
C
G
C
Am
F

Riding on the City of New Orleans Illinois Central, Monday morning rail.
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders, three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
Am
Em
All along the southbound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee,
G
D
And rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
Am
Em
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards of old black men
G
F
C
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
CHORUS:
F
G
C
Good morning, America, how are you?
Am
F

Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son.
G7
C
G
Am Am7 D7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
Bb
F
G
C
And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
Penny a point ain't no-one keeping score
Pass the paper bag but hold the bottle
Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Mother with her babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.
CHORUS
Nightime on the City of New Orleans - changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
Half way home we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea.
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a dark dream
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
This train got the disappearing railroad blues.
FINAL CHORUS
Good night America, How are you?
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Clap Hands! Here Comes Charlie

Words & Music:
Ballard McDonald, Billy Rose & Joseph Meyer
Clap hands! Here comes Charlie!
Clap hands! Good, old Charlie!
Clap hands! Here comes Charlie, now!
Clap hands! Join the party!
Clap hands! Meet McCarty!
Clap hands! Charlie, take a bow!
We'll have drinks with Charlie on this table.
Grab a chair, move over there and let him sit right next to Mabel.
Clap hands! Here comes Charlie!
Clap hands! Good, old Charlie!
Clap hands! Here comes Charlie, now!
Clap hands! Meet the dollies!
Clap hands! Zeigfield Follies!
Clap hands! Stand up, take a bow!
See the smile on all those hungry faces.
We'll buy lamb and veal and ham to fill up all their open spaces.
Clap hands! Here comes Charlie!
Clap hands! Good, old Charlie!
Clap hands! Here comes Charlie, now!

Cold
Words & Music:
Annie Lennox
Come to me, run to me, do and be done with me. (Cold, cold, cold.)
Don't I exist for you, don't I still live for you? (Cold, cold, cold.)
Everything I present, giving with tenderness,
Wrapped in a ribbon of glass
Time it may take us but God only knows
How I've paid for those things in the past.
Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath.
Cold is the color of crystal,
The snowlight that falls from the heavenly skies.
Catch me and and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes.
BRIDGE:
I want to be with you, baby.
Oh, slip me inside of your heart.
Don't I belong to you, baby?
Don't you know that nothing can tear us apart?
Come on, now; come on, now; come on, now,
I'm telling you that I loved you right from the start.
But the more I want you the less I get.
Ain't that just the way things are?
Winter has frozen us, let love take hold of us. (Cold, cold, cold.)
Now we are shivering, blue ice is glittering. (Cold, cold, cold.)
Cold is the color of crystal,
The snowlight that falls from the heavenly skies.
Catch me and and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes.
Don't you know it? Cold, cold, cold.
Cold, cold, cold. Cold, cold, cold.

Words & Music:

Robert Johnson
Tabber: Markus Tron

This is in Open A tuning (E A E A C# E) and is a bone-simple one-chord song (A). Tabber Markus says that this
version is based in part on the Rory Block version of the tune. Be sure to have the slide guitar play along with
the vocal line. There are two versions of this on Johnson's famous recordings; both were recorded in San
Antonio, TX on Monday, 23 November 1936. These lyrics are from version 1.

The woman I love, took from my best friend.

Some joker got lucky, stole her back again.
You better come on in my kitchen, babe, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
Oh-ah she's gone. I know she won't come back.
I've taken the last nickel out of her 'nation sack.
You better come on in my kitchen, babe, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
BRIGDGE: [spoken over A chord slide noodling:]
Baby can't you hear that wind howl 'n' all?
Oh-ah can't you hear that wind would howl?
You better come on in my kitchen babe, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down.
Looking for her good friend, none can be found.
You better come on in my kitchen, babe, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
Winter time's comin', it's gon' be slow.
You can't make the winter, babe, that's dry long so.
You better come on in my kitchen, babe, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.

Come On In My Kitchen
(version 2 - Lyrics only)
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
You better come on in my kitchen, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down.
Lookin' for yo' good friend, none can be found.
You better come on in my kitchen, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
Nnn, the woman I love, took from my best friend.
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again.
She better come on in my kitchen, baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
BRIDGE: [first line spoken over slide:]
Mama, can't you hear that wind howl? Oh, how the wind do howl!
You better come on in my kitchen, mmm, baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
Nnn, the woman that I love, I crave to see
She's up the country, won't write to me
Then, you better come on in my kitchen, goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
I went to the mountain, far as my eyes could see.
Some other man got my woman, lonesome blues got me.
But, she better come on in my kitchen, 'cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
My mama dead, papa well's to be.
Ain't got nobody to love and care for me.
She better come on in my kitchen, 'cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory.
Some happy, some sad; I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had.
We lived happily forever, so the story goes.
But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold.
But we'll try best that we can to carry on.

Open up the curtain, comedy tonight!

Stunning surprises, cunning disguises. Hundreds of actors out of sight
Am7 [for entire section]
Pantaloons and tunics, courtesans and eunuchs
Funerals and chases, baritones and basses
Panderers, philanderers, cupidity, timidity
Mistakes, fakes, rhymes, crimes
Tumblers, grumblers, bumblers, fumblers
No royal curse, no Trojan horse
And a happy ending, of course
Goodness and badness, manifest madness this time it all turns out all right
Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!

Comfortably Numb

Hello, hello, hello - is there anybody in there?
G G/F# Em
Bm
Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?
Come on, come on, come on - I hear you're feeling down.
I can ease your pain and get you on your feet again.
Relax, relax, relax- I need some information first.
Just the basic facts: can you show me where it hurts.
CHORUS:

GUITAR SOLO 1
Okay, okay, okay - just a little pinprick. [ping]
There'll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up? I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show. Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb.

Comin' Back To Me
Words & Music:
Jefferson Airplane
Vamp for entire song:
Bm6 Am7 Bm6 Am7 D Am7
Am Bm Em Am Bm Em Am Bm Em G
The summer hot inhaled & held its breath too long.
The winter looked the same as if it never had gone.
And through an open window where no curtain hung,
I saw you... I saw you... Comin' back to me.
One begins to read between the pages of a look,
The shape of sleepy music & suddenly you're hooked.
And through the rain upon the trees that kisses on the run.
I saw you... I saw you... Comin' back to me.
Dm
Gm
Dm
Gm
You can't stay & live my way, Scatter my love like leaves on the wind.
Dm
Gm
Dm
Gm
You always say you won't go away, But I know what it always has been
Dm
It always has been...
A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh.
Most of the time I just let it go by.
Now I wish that it hadn't begun.
I saw you... I saw you... Comin' back to me.
Strolling the hills overlooking the shore.
I realize that I've been here before.
The shadow in the mist could have been anyone.
I saw you... I saw you... Comin' back to me.
Small things like reasons are put in a jar.
What ever happened to wishes wished on a star?
Was it just something that I made up for fun?
I saw you... I saw you... Comin' back to me.

Confide
Words & Music:
Meryn Caddell

I cannot find any Meryn Caddell chords or tabs anywhere. Anyone have a lead?
If you won't confide what eats you up inside, you'll die
This is a secret that's not yours to own.
Spit it out, watch it corrode the ground;
The sidewalk a long, molten stream.
Sulphurous, stenching and choking our eyes.
Watch it slip into the sky...
Don't cut up (off?) your arms and then cover
With reasons you've used for too long.
Scream it out, it will burn as it flies.
Watch it slip into the sky...
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I could see no place to unwind.
Conquistador a vulture sits, upon your silver sheath.
And in your rusty scabbard now, the sand has taken seed.
And though your jewel-encrusted blade has not been plundered still.
The sea has washed across your face and taken of its fill.
CHORUS:
Conquistador there is no time, I must pay my respect.
And though I came to jeer at you, I leave now with regret.
And as the gloom begins to fall I see there is no, only all.
Though you came with sword held high, you did not conquer, only die.

Cook With Honey

Muffin warm and basket brown,
Smiling faces gathered 'round our dinner table
Close together hand-in-hand.
CHORUS:
I always cook with honey, to sweeten up the night;
We always cook with honey, tell me how's your appetite,
For some sweet love? For some sweet love.
Finding favor with your neighbor, well it can be so fine;
And it's easier than pie to be kind.
We've been searching for so long,
And now our house is turned into a home.
CHORUS:
Well our door is always open, and there's surely room for more;
'Cause cooking where there's good love is never any chore.
So come and get to know us, there'll be a place set just for you;
And sweet wine before dinner, that'll surely soothe.
CHORUS:
For some sweet love, for some sweet love. [repeat 4x]

Cool For Cats

Words & Music:
Chris Difford & Glenn Tilbrook

These are the basic chords, you can "jazz it up" by placing subtlties like placing a quick Em between the C and
Am. I like to play the C that is after the Eb,on the 3rd fret.
G
Em
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass.
C
Am
The cowboys take positions in the bushes and the grass.
Eb
Cm
The squaw is with the Corporal, she is tied against the tree.
Eb
Cm
She doesn't mind the language; it's the beating she don't need.
Eb
C
She lets loose all the horses when the Corporal is asleep.
G
Em
And he wakes to find the fire's dead and arrows in his hats.
C
F
And Davy Crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats.
Em
It's cool for cats.
The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cause they've got the word to go.
They get a gang of villans in a shed up at Heathrow.
They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again.
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names.
It's funny how their misses always look the bleeding same.
And meanwhile at the station there's a couple of likely lads.
Who swear like how's your father and they're very cool for cats.
They're cool for cats.
To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub.
On seeing my reflection I'm looking slightly rough.
I fancy this, I fancy that I wanna be so flash.
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash.
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash.
And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had.
And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat.
Cool for cats.
Shake up at the disco and I think I've got a pull.
I ask her lots of questions and she hangs on to the wall.
I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home.
I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone.
She likes to go to discos but she's never on her own.
I said, "I'll see you later," and I give her some old chat.
But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats.
It's cool for cats.

Counting Blue Cars

Words & Music:
Kolanek, John Richards, Rodney Browning,
Scot Alexander & George Pendergast (Dishwalla)
There is debate over whether the chords are "Bm A G" or "Bm E D". I have seen both versions and think it is up to
personal preference. Either way, leave high E string open as a drone for all these chords. I'm all for playing around with
your own interpretation, just leave the high E as a drone.

INTRO: Bm A G [2x]
Bm
A G
Must have been mid-afternoon.
Bm
A
G
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and
Bm A
G
He-- walked with a purpose, in his sneakers, down the street. He had
Bm A
G
Many questions, like children often do.
CHORUS 1:
[tacit] D
E
G D
E
G Bm
He said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God. Tell me, am I very far?"
Must have been late afternoon.
On our way, the sun broke free of the clouds.
We count only blue cars, skip the cracks in the street and ask
Many questions, like children often do.
CHORUSES 2 & 3:
We said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God.
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
'Cause I am on my way to see her.
So, tell me am I very far? Am I very far, now?"
INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS:
It's getting cold, picked up the pace.
How our shoes make hard noises in this place.
Our clothes are stained; we pass many, Cross-eyed people and ask
Many questions like children often do.

We sing about beauty and we sing about truth at ten thousand dollars a show.

We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills,
A7

But, the thrill we've never known, is the thrill that'll get you

When you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
CHORUS:

Rolling Stone - want to see my picture on the cover.
A
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
E
D
A
Ganna see my smiling face on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
I've got a freaky lady, name of Cocaine Katy, who embroiders on my jeans,
I've got my poor old gray-haired Daddy, driving my limousine.
Now it's all designed to blow our minds; but, our minds won't really be blown,
Like the blow that'll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.
CHORUS:
We've got a lot of little blue-eyed, teenage groupies who do anything we say,
We've got a genuine Indian guru, who's teaching us a better way.
We've got all the friends that money can buy,
So, we never have to be alone,
And we keep getting richer; but, we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Creep
Words & Music:
Radiohead

There's a full transcription and lesson on how to play this song in the Holiday 2004 issue of
Guitar One. There is also a full transcription of this in the November 2008 issue of Guitar
World.
G B C Cm
G

When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eyes.

You look like an angel; your skin makes me cry.

You float like a feather in a beautiful weather.

I wish I was special; you're so fucking special...
CHORUS:

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.

What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here.
I don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control.
I wanna perfect body, I want a perfect soul.
I want you to notice when I'm not around.
You're so fuckin' special. I wish I was special...

Creeque Alley
Words & Music:
The Mamas & The Papas
B7
E7
John and Mitchy were getting kind of itchy just to leave the folk music behind.
E7
B7
Sal and Denny, working for a penny, trying to get a fish on the line.
F#7
E7
In a coffee house Sebastian sat and after every number they'd pass the hat.
B7
E7
McGuinn and McGuire's just a-getting higher in L.A., you know where that's at.
E7
D7
B7
And no one's getting fat except Mama Cass.
Solly said, "Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do, let's go south"
Denny said, "Solly, golly, don't you think that I wish I could play guitar like you?"
Sal, Denny and Sebastian sat, at the Night Owl
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire's still a-gettin' higher in L.A., you know where that's at.
And no one's getting fat except Mama Cass.
When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore,
But she changed her mind one day.
Standing on the turnpike, thumb out to hitch hike take her to New York right away.
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps called John and Sal
And that was the Mugwumps.
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher but that's what they were aiming at.
And no one's getting fat except Mama Cass.
Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps don't you work as hard as you play.
Make up, break up, everything you shake up, guess it had to be that way.
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful.
Michelle, John, and Denny getting very tuneful.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catching fire in L.A., you know where that's at.
And everybody's getting fat except Mama Cass.
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE:
Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted and Mitchy wants to go to the sea.
Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it, we knew she'd come eventually.
Breezin' on American Express cards, tent's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard.
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations can't go on indefinitely.
And California dreamin' is becoming a reality.

Crimson And Clover

Words & Music:
Tommy James & Peter Lucia
Another ace '60s tab from Andrew Rogers. His notes: "[Notes: 1) This is a deceptively simple song; like
Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody To Love", there are only four chords in it, but no two verses are identical. 2)
Tommy James played all the guitar parts on this, and he usually played in open E; you might want to try it.]"

Critic's Choice
Words & Music:
Robert Lamm (Chicago)
What do you want? What do you want?
I'm giving everything I have.
I'm even trying to see if there's more locked deep inside.
I'll try, I'll try. Can't you see, this is me?
What do you need? What do you need?
Is someone just to hurt
So that you can appear to be smart? And keep a steady job
Play God, play God? What to you really know?
You parasite, you're dynamite.
An oversight, misunderstanding what you hear.
You're quick to jeer and volunteer absurdities, musical blasphemies.
Oh, Lord, save us all!
What do you want? What do you want?
I'm giving everything I have.
I'm even trying to see if there's more.
What do you want? What do you want?
I'm giving everything I have.
I'm even trying to see if there's more locked deep inside.
I'll try, I'll try. Can't you see, this is me?

Crossroads

A
Asked the lord above for mercy; save me, if you please.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside.
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy, Willie Brown.
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy, Willie Brown.
And I'm standing at the crossroads, I believe I'm sinking down.

Words & Music:

Robert Johnson

Crossroads Slowhand Discussion

"And, of course, there was Cream. I still love to sit alone in a room and wrap myself up in
that music. They created an amazing fusion of Blues and hard rock, and some of their most
beautyful songs were covers."
- Martin Scorsese, Feel Like Going Home [1]
Let's go back into the 60's to learn a bit more about how to build up a Blues based guitar solo.
The history of Cream is filling books, it was one of the first so called "super groups" in rock
music. Bruce's and Baker's more jazz-based backgound together with Clapton's Blues roots created
a new magic music style, they were among the first who introduced long improvisations into
modern popular music. And this is where we want to take a closer look at - building up a solo
architecture like telling a good story instead of the flashy "look how fast I can play"-style.
General Thoughts
No, not again all this scales and progressions stuff. You've read enough about it before, now
it's time to go one step ahead. You should know about the basics, have your favourite licks, but
now you need to know more about the way you can use it. You should know how to express your
thoughts while playing without thinking about scales.
Compare it with learning a new language. Imagine you've learned some words and some grammar too,
but you still think in your native language and translate it back. That's time consuming and
doesn't give you all possibilities the new language may have. A child learns to speak without
any grammar. It gets a feeling for the words and sentences. That's what we need for our guitar
playing, too. The ability to think in music directly. You need some experience to do that, no
doubt. A good way to train this is trying to play the songs or licks you're listening to on the
radio or CD or watching on MTV, VH-1, your favourite Blues DVD or video etc. and then trying to
add your own ideas. Composing while playing.
This could be also entitled
"Why is someone playing with the speed of light not automatically the better (Blues) guitar
player?"
The reason is that being able to play fast is useless if you don't find the right notes in realtime, while playing. You can learn a song note-for-note, play it faster and faster, inlcude
tapping, sweep picking, palm-muted speed picking until no one can follow, but if you play your
solo, you're helpless. Speed is not evil by itself, a good technique as well, but it's no end in
itself. It's more important to be able to express yourself through the guitar, that you know
which notes/licks/phrases will move the audience. Sometimes a fast run is great to outline raw
energy (like on the following Crossroads), but don't overload a song running scales up and down.
That's boring. Shredding is nice if you want to build up some speed, but it's a hard time to
listen to. There's nothing to discover.
Below I'll discuss some songs from Clapton's Cream era. Although I have to use tablature to
explain some things, you should not simply copy them trying to sound like EC. Look behind and
try to find out why it's played that way and how you would have done that. Think in music.
Crossroads
Eric clapton, please... vocals
- Jack Bruce at the end of the song
I've always had 'Crossroads' held up as, like, one of the great landmarks of guitar playing,
but most of that solo is on the wrong beat. Instead of playing on the two and four, I'm playing
on the one and three and thinking, 'that's the off beat.' No wonder people think it's so goodbecause it's wrong!"
- Eric Clapton, April '98 interview with Britain's Mojo.

Robert Johnson composed this Blues classic and recorded it in 1936. Many Blues greats from
Ellmore James to Homesick James played their version of it, there's also a movie where Ry Cooder
played the soundtrack. Crossroads was among the first Blues songs which EC played in a
completely new way, mixing it with Johnson's Traveling Riverside Blues, he also sang the lead
vocals. This one is the live version from the album "Wheels Of Fire", with the timeline included
from "Those Were The Days" (+ 9 sec.). It was recorded live at the Winterland Ballroom on the
10th March, 1968, EC played a '61 Gibson SG-shaped Les Paul, light-gauge Fender Rock and Roll
strings, and a 100-watt Marshall stack (Guitar Player 01/1999). Later versions of Crossroads
lack a bit of that fire, they were slowed down to a slow Blues or even reggae style.
Crossroads is a standard Blues in A (A7/D7/E7) with the beat going on 1 and 3 rather than on 2
and 4 (EC's "error", see the quote above). This one is good to start with because it's short and
uses the typical 12bar chord progression even during most of the solos.
At first the intro, listen to it and assign the chord progression. The first 4 bars use the A
chord (I) like:
I-----------------I---------------------I--------------------I---------------------I
I-----------------I---------------------I--------2-0-2-------I--------2-0-2--------I
I--2--2-0-2-0h2-0-I------2--2-0-2-0h2-0-I--------2-0-2-0h2-0-I--------2-0-2-0h2-0--I
I--2--------------I------2--------------I--------------------I---------------------I
I--0--------------I-3b4--0--------------I-3b4--0-------------I-3b4--0--------------I
I-----------------I---------------------I--------------------I---------------------I
0:09
Use the palm of your picking hand to mute the strings. To increase the power of the 3rd and 4th
bar EC used double stops. We know already what has to follow according to the 12 bar Blues
structure - you're right, the next two bars use the D7 chord (IV):
I-----------------2-----I---------2-2---2-----I
I-----------1-1-------1-I-------------1-----1-I
I---------------2---2---I-----------------2---I
I------0-0--------------I-----0-0-------------I
I--3b4------------------I-3b4-----------------I
I-----------------------I---------------------I
0:16
Notice that the strings are allowed to ring out in opposite to the first 4 bars. The next wo
bars are played like the 3rd and 4th bar (A chord, see above, still following the 12bar
structure). After this EC left the "playing with chords"-mode completely and finished with a
fast run over the minor A Blues scale, including his favourite major note on the 6th fret of the
G string, the note that separates the A minor from the A major chord. He ends with the root note
of the V chord E7, opening it for the vocals:
I---------------------------------------------------5--------------------------------I
I-------------------------------------------------5---8h(5)---5-----------7----------I
I------------------------5b(6)---7h5---5b-6---5h6-----------7---5h6---5h6------------I
I-----------2-2------5-7-------7-----7------7-----------------------7----------------I
I-3b4-0-----0-0--5/7--------------------------------------------------------7~~------I
I-------0-------------------------------------------------------------------0--------I
0:24
Now we have 3 vocal choruses with some fills in the style above. The chords still follow the 12
bar blues progression, as does at 1:37 the first solo. We start using some deep notes of the A
major pentatonic scale and work up to higher notes of the minor pentatonic. Adding a few double
stops gives additional power. The solo is 2 x 12 bars long and uses the quick change standard
Blues structure. Try to associate the notes played to the corresponding chords: A(I) - D(IV) E7(V). Remember that in Blues you can play major and minor pentatonic scale notes over major
(seventh) chords.

Before going on, try to play variations of this theme. Start with minor notes (1-4) only and
listen to the difference of sound.
Next one with some double stops, still not going above the 12th fret (leaving it for the final
solo to increase the tension):

Although in this solo we have found many things we've learned before like the use of major notes
in minor scales, the power of 1+5 double stops, the root note as the main note to resolve the
tension to and not to forget bends and vibrato even when we're playing fast, we can feel (or
hear) that this was not the final solo of that song. As mentioned before, we left one option
open: stepping to higher notes above the 12th fret. At 2:41 it's time for the second solo, and
we start around the 17th fret, which is not easy on guitars with short necks (21 frets or less).
Another problem is the high distorted sound together with the feedback of the marshall amps, so
it sounds quite different if played "clean".

You see that EC is playing with the licks, combining and using on different positions of the
scale. When reaching the end of the playable scale and it seems he can't increase the tension,
he again used double stops to go one step ahead. Analyse them and try to find out which chords
belong to them. Take a look at the simple but effective turnaround at the end of the solo: going
back to the root note and then without a break adding notes from the V chord (E7) ending with E,
waiting for the last verse to come. Finally: this is not something to learn note for note.
Listen close how to use what you've learned and try your own style!

I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know.
"Won't you let me go with you?" "No, my love, no."
Oh, Johnny. Oh, Johnny, I fear you are unkind.
I love you far better than all of mankind.
I love you far better than words could ever express.
"Won't you let me go with you?" "Yes, my love, yes."
