GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY – The Outlaws (Johnny Cash, Spiderbait) Am C An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day Am Upon a ridge he rested as he went upon his way Am (F/A) (D/A) (F/A) When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw F (Dm) Am coming through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw Am C Their brands were still on fire and their hot breath he could feel Am Their horns were black and shiny and their hooves were made of steel Am (F/A) (D/A) (F/A) A bolt of fear went through him as they rumbled through the sky F (Dm) Am Then he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their mournful cry CHORUS C Am Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh F (Dm) Am Ghost riders in the sky

(G)

Am C As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name Am If you want to save your soul from hell, a riding on this range Am (F/A) (D/A) (F/A) Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride F (Dm) Am Trying to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies CHORUS CHORUS C Am Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh F (Dm) Am Ghost riders in the sky C Am Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh F (Dm) Am Ghost riders in the sky

C Dsus2 Am to see if I still feel

C D Am I focus on the pain

C D Am the only thing that's real

C D Am The needle tears a hole

C D Am the old familiar sting

C D Am Try to kill it all away

C D G but I remember everything

Am F What have I become? Am F Everyone I know

C G My sweetest friend

C G goes away in the end

Am F And you could have it all Am F I will let you down

C G My empire of dirt

C G I will make you hurt

C D Am I wear this crown of thorns C D Am Full of broken thoughts

C D Am I cannot repair

C D Am Beneath the stains of time C D Am You are someone else

C D Am upon my liars chair

C D Am the feeling disappears

C D G I am still right here

For this last part just strum a G If I could start again I would keep myself

A million miles away I would find a way

COUNTRY DEATH SONG Violent Femmes The other tabs were incorrect, so this is what I have found. I think it is pretty accurate. First of all, this is the bass line throughout the entire song. Every "-" indicates an eighth note G|--------|--------| D|--------|--------| A|5---5---|5---5235| E|--5---5-|--5-----| The bassline starts, the after a few measures, the guitar kicks in with this... Dm e|--1---1-| B|--3---3-| B|2-2---2-| D|--0-0-0-| A|--------| E|--------| This is the pluck/strum pattern that is consistent throughout the entire song, it is easy, just pluck the third string, then strum the entire chord, then pluck the fourth then strum the entire chord. The lead instrument in the song is the banjo, and I do not banjo so I cannot give you that tab. But this is the guitar. Dm I had me a wife, I had me some daughters. Am I tried so hard, I never knew still waters. Dm Nothing to eat and nothing to drink. Dm Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think. Dm Am Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think. Dm Well, I'm Am Breathing Dm It was at Dm I started Dm I started

Dm

a-thinkin' and a-thinkin', till there's nothin' I ain't thunk. in the stink, till finally I stunk. that time, I swear I lost my mind. making plans to kill my own kind. Am making plans to kill my own kind.

Dm

(Banjo kicks in) Dm "Come, little daughter," I said to the youngest one, Am "Put your coat on, we'll have some fun. Dm We'll go out to the mountains, the one to explore." Dm Her face, it lit up, I was standing by the door. Dm Am Her face, it lit up, I was standing by the door.

Dm

Dm "Come, little daughter, I will carry the lanterns. Am We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns. Dm We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caves. Dm Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves. Dm Am Dm Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves." (For this verse, the guitar part is only a percussive raking of the strings, Gordon just strikes on the quarter notes but sometimes he mixes it up and plays a few eighth or beats) I led her to a I said "make a And close your Know your papa Know your papa

hole, a deep black well. wish, make sure and not tell eyes dear, and count to seven. loves you, good children go to heaven. loves you, good children go to heaven."

(No guitar for this verse) I gave her a push, I gave her a shove. I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love. I threw my child into a bottomless pit.

http://chordie.com/chord.pere/www.guitaretab.com/v/violent-femmes/20390.html

She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit. She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit. (Continues with percussive quarter note strums.) (The bridge for the guitar is the same as the first verse, I have listened to the song closely and any leads or solos are banjo or bass, the guitar just strums) (The next two verses are just percussive rakes of the strings) Gather 'round, boys, to the tale that I tell. You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell? It's guaranteed to get your own place in hell. Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well. Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well. Don't speak to me of lovers with a broken heart. You wanna know what will really tear you apart? I'm going out to the barn, with a never-stoppin' pain... I'm going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.

[G] I hear the train a comin' it's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since [G7] I don't know when I'm [C] stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' [G] on But that [D7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An[G]ton [G] When I was just a baby my mama told me son Always be a good boy don't [G7] ever play with guns But I [C] shot a man in Reno just to watch him [G] die Now every [D7] time I hear that whistle I hang my head and cry [G] [G] I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and [G7] smoking big cigars Well I [C] know I had it coming I know I can't be [G] free but those [D7] people keep a movin' And that's what tortures [G] me [G] Well if they'd free me from this prison If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it all a little [G7] further down the line [C] Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to [G] stay And I'd [D7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a[G]way

A Case of You

Joni Mitchell

INTRO:

Am7 G If you want me I'll be in the bar C G2 On the back of a cartoon coaster Am7 In the blue TV screen light Dm C I drew a map of Canada C G2 Am7 Oh Ca na - da G2 Dm C With your face sketched on it twice F Em Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine Dm C You taste so bitter and so sweet C C G2 Am7 Oh, I could drink a case of you darling and I would Dm C G2 C still be on my feet, oh I would still be on my feet C G Oh I am a lonely painter Am7 I live in a box of paints Dm C I'm frightened by the devil G Am7 G2 And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid C G Am7 I remember that time you told me, you said love is touching souls Surely you touched mine 'cause Dm C Part of you pours out of me

G In these lines from time to time F Em Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine Dm C Taste so bitter and so sweet C C G2 Am7 Oh, I could drink a case of you darling F C G Still I'd be on my feet C I would still be on my feet C G I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours Am7 She knew your lies She knew your devils and your deeds, and she said Dm C Go to him, stay with him if you can G But be prepared to bleed F Em Oh but you are in my blood, you're my holy wine Dm You're so bitter, baby C Bitter and so sweet C C G2 Am7 Oh I could drink a case of you darling Dm C G Still I'd be on my feet

C I would still be on my feet

Bizarre Love Triangle Fm7

G

Every time I think of you Em

F

I get a shot right through into a bolt of blue G

It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find Em

F

Living a life that I can't leave behind F

G

There's no sense in telling me Em

F

The wisdom of a fool won't set you free F

G

But that's the way that it goes and it's what nobody knows Em

F

And every day my confusion grows Fm7

G

Every time I see you falling Em

F

I get down on my knees and pray F

G

I'm waiting for that final moment Em

F

You say the words that I can't say Fm7

G

I feel fine and I feel good Em

F

I feel like I never should G

Whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say Em

F

Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday F

G

I'm not sure what this could mean Em

F

I don't think you're what you seem G

I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else Em

F

Then I'd never see just what we're meant to be Fm7

G

Every time I see you falling Em

F

I get down on my knees and pray F

G

I'm waiting for that final moment Em

You say the words that I can't say Fm7

Dm

The usual crowd was assembled

On the corner by the squar e, Bb7 A7 Dm

And big Joe McKinney was there.

He was standing at my shoulder. His eyes were bloodshot red; He turned to the crowd around him, These are the very words he said: "I went down to the St James Infirmary I saw my baby there, She's laid out on a cold white table, So so cold, so white, so fair." chorus "Let her go, let her go, God bless her; Wherever she may be She may search this wide world over She’ll never find a sweet man like me." Oh, when I die, bury me In my high top Stetson hat; Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain God'll know I died standin' pat. I want six crap shooters for pall bearers. Chorus girl to sing me a song. Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon. Raise Hell as I roll along. Roll out your rubber tired carriage, Roll out your old time hat. Twelve men going to the graveyard And eleven coming back. Now that I've told my story, I'll take another shot of booze. And if anyone should happen to ask you, I've got those gamblers' blues.

TO HAVE AND TO HAVE NOT Billy Bragg

C F C Am G C C F C up in the morning and out to school Am G C mother says there'll be no work next year C F C qualifications once the golden rule Am G C are now just pi eces of paper C F C Just because you're better than me Am G C doesn't mean i'm lazy C F C just because you're going forwards Am G C doesnt mean i'm going backwards (same riff for the whole song) if you look the part, you'll get the job in last year's trousers and your old school shoes the truth is son, it's a buyer's market they can't afford to pick and choose just because you're better than me doesn't mean i'm lazy just because i dress like this doesn't mean i'm a communist the factories are closing and the army's full i don't know what i'm going to do but iv'e come to see that in the land of the free there's only a future for the chosen few just because you're better than me doesn't mean i'm lazy just because you're going forwards doesn't mean i'm going backwards at twenty-one you're on top of the scrap heap

at sixteen you were top of the class all they tought you in school was how to be a good worker the system has failed you, don't fail yourself just because you're better than me doesn't mean i'm lazy just because you're going forwards doesn't mean im going backwards thats just the chords. i suggest listening to the cd and playing around with the dynamics. alo try picking through the chords or just hitting the overdrive and playing power chords. just have fun with it. send questions, comments, or corrections to [email protected].
