Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do
[Bb] There ain't nothin' [D7] I can do, [Gm] nor nothin' I can [D7] say,
[G7] That folks don't [Dm7] cri[G7]ti[Cm]cize [G7] me.
[Cm] But I'm gonna [G7] do just as I [Cm] want to any[C]way,
[C7] I don't care if they all des[F#7]pise [F7] me.
[Bb] If I should [D7] take a notion
[Gm] To jump in[Eb]to the ocean,
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]
[Bb] Rather than [D7] persecute me,
[Gm] I choose that [Eb] you would shoot me,
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]
[Bb] If I should [D7] get the feelin'
[Gm] To dance up[Eb]on the ceiling',
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]
[Bb] If I let my [D7] best companion
[Gm] Drive me right in[Eb]to the canyon,
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]
[Bb] After all the [D7] way to do [Gm] is do just as you [D7] please,
[G7] Regardless [Dm7] of [G7] their [Cm] talk[G7]in'
[Cm] Often times the [G7] ones that talk will get [Cm] down on their [C] knees,
[C7] And beg your pardon for their [F#7] squak[F7]in'. (sp?)
[Bb] If I dis[D7]like my lover
[Gm] And leave (him/her) [Eb] for another,
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]
[Bb] If I go to [D7] church on Sunday,
[Gm] Then caba[Eb]ret on Monday,
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]
[Bb] If my friend ain't [D7] got no money
[Gm] And I say, "Take [Eb] all mine honey,"
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]
[Bb] If I lend (him/her) [D7] my last nickel
[Gm] And it leaves me [Eb] in a pickle,
[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do.

To bring your woman back home
After she's left you for another
You've got to be a, you've got to be a man ...CHORUS

From: jrossie@leopard.cs.indiana.edu (Jon Rossie)
Let's see -- I've been playing this for years. Great tune. You need
to really keep the bass line going. Play the verse in open position.
I go up the neck for the refrain, working my way back down and ending
in open position again. There are some nice little runs. If I get a
chance, I'll TAB some of them. This should all be in the TAB for the
"Crossroads" compilation, but I haven't laid out the bucks for that
yet.
I use dots to mark beats.
Verse:
D... D/C... D/B... D/A... F... C...D..C D...
Refrain:
G... .... A... .... D... .... Em... ....
weary and I just ain't go-t the time
G... D/F#. Em. D... ....
can't find my way home.

The Circus Left Town
(Amaj7 = x06650, Amaj7 [2] = x02120, C#m7 = x46454, Cdim = x3424x
has G#7 = 464544)
[Amaj7] Little man with his [B/A] eyes on fire [Cdim]
And his smile so [C#m7] bright [B7]
[Amaj7] In his hands are the [B/A] toys you gave [Cdim]
That fill his heart with de[C#m7]light [B7]
[Amaj7] In a ring stands a [B/A] circus clown [Cdim]
Holding up a [C#m7] light [B7]
[Amaj7] What you see and [B/A] what you hear [Cdim]
Will last you the rest of your [C#m7] life [B7]
[Amaj7[2]] It's sad, so sad [B7]
[Cdim] There aint no easy way [C#m7] round [B7]
[Amaj7[2]] It's sad, so sad [G#7]
[Bmin7] All your friends gather [Amaj7] round
'Cause the [Dmaj7] circus left town [Amaj7]
Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night
When I smile I'll be thinking of you
And everything will be alright
The picking technique is 4 bar repeating cycle which for the most part
concentrates on the middle 4 strings, except when playing G#7. Each
vertical line represents one bar, each bar has 2 beats which are clearly
marked by the thumb and middle finger. The index finger only appears on
half beats.
Key: t = thumb
i = index finger
m = middle finger

Cocaine!
If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues, cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run, cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on, cocaine.
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine.

Holy Mother, where are you

Tonight I feel broken in two
G C G
I've seen the stars fall from the sky
Em D G
Holy Mother, can't keep from crying
C G
Oh I need your help this time
Em D G
To get me through this lonely night

Tell me please which way to turn

By myself again
Holy Mother hear my prayer
Somehow I know you're still there {chords as verse I}
Send me please some peace of mind
Take away this pain

I can't wait, I can't wait {this part... but it sounds}

I can't wait any longer

I can't wait, I can't wait
C D
I can't wait for you.
Holy Mother, hear my cry
I've cursed your name a thousand times {chords as verse I}
I've felt the anger running through my soul
All I need is a hand to hold
Oh I feel the end is coming
No longer my legs will run {chords as verse II}
You know how to wrap me
In your arms tonight
When my hands can no longer play
My voice is still a fade away {chords as verse I}
Holy Mother, then I'll be
lying in, safe within your arms.

I Shot The Sheriff
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
All around in my home town
they're trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty
for the killing of a deputy,
for the life of a deputy.
But I say
I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence.
Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
for what I don't know.
Every time that I plant a seed
he said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
He said, 'Kill it before it grows'.
But I say
I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self-defence.
Freedom came my way one day
and I started out of town.
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
aiming to shoot me down
so I shot, I shot him down.
But I say
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
Reflexes got the better of me
and what is to be, must be.
Every day the bucket goes to well
but one day the bottom wuill drop out,
yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
But I say
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.

You said you was [C#] hurting, almost lost your mind,
And the man you [F#] love, he hurts you all the time.
When things go [C#] wrong, go wrong with [G#] you,
[F#] It hurts me, [C#] too. [G#]
You love him [C#] more when you should love him less.
I pick up be[F#]hind him and take his mess.
When things go [C#] wrong, go wrong with [G#] you,
[F#] It hurts me, [C#] too. [G#]
He love another [C#] woman and I love you,

When things go [C#] wrong, go wrong with [G#] you,
[F#] It hurts me, [C#] too. [G#]
Solo
Now you better [C#] leave him; he better put you down.
Oh, I won't [F#] stand to see you pushed around.

Lay Down Sally
A
There is nothing that is wrong
D
in wanting you to stay here with me.
A
I know you've got somewhere to go
D
but won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
E
And don't you ever leave.
A D
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
E A
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
A D
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
E A
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
The sun ain't nearly on the rise
and we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies
love is all that matters, won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.
I long to see the morning light
colouring your face so dre amily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
you can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And don't you ever leave.
Basic pattern:
It is possible to play it with the left thumb and middle finger and a
full A chord on the higher strings. They may be strummed occasionally.
The best way to play it is using a plectron and middle finger with the
right hand. Transpose the first two bars to D also. The bar 3 and 4
contain the catch phrase that is only played over A.
A A/F# A/E A/F# etc..

NOTE: This is VERY rough and simplified. Think of it as the "fake book"
version. I am sure it's played in Open E though. There is a tab guitar
book covering all of the Crossroads box set (which I don't have) that I
know has this note for note. If you want the real thing, buy the book.

Next Time You See Her
She got everything a man could ever ask for,
She is lovely, brighter than a morning star,
She's so beautiful, portrait of a sunset,
She got everything, including my old car.
R I: Next time you see her, tell her that I love her,
Next time you see her, tell her that I care,
Next time you see her, tell her that I love her,
Next time I see you, boy you better beware.
I'm just tryin' to warn you, (I think I got this part wrong,
That you're about to get her. it makes no sense!)
I couldn't leave her last love,
So how could you be her first.
I want to tell you buddy, things are about to get rough.
I think that she's only flerting, but I think that I've had enough.
R I:
R II: And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out - Derek and the Dominos
C E A A7 A
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Dm A Dm
Spent all my money, just did not care
F F7 C C/B A
Took all my friends out for a good time
D7 G7
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, yeah
Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange

Well, I woke up this morning; I best get rolling on.
Well, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.

There's more lyrics - but this'll give you the basic chord structure.
The |'s are my attempt at giving a mild sense of rhythym - there's
4 beats between |'s. G/B means a G chord with a B in the bass.
I finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape
with the thumb wrapped around to the 6th string. Like this:
C#/E# The E/G# is the same thing played at the

Thorn Tree In The Garden - Derek and the Dominos
Emaj7 F#m/E
There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean
Emaj7 F#m/E
And I hate to hurt your feelings but its not the way it seems
Emaj7 F#m/E Emaj7 F#m/E
'Cause I miss her
Emaj7 F#m/E
She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known
Emaj7 F#m/E
And no one ever shared more love than we've known
Emaj7 E7
And I miss her
A
But it all seems so strange to see
Emaj7
That she'd never turn her back on me
A B7 E7
And leave without a last goodbye
A
And if she winds up walking the streets
Emaj7
Loving every other man she meets
A B7
Who'll be the one to answer why?
Emaj7 E7 A Am E
Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me
Emaj7 F#m/E
And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand
Emaj7 F#m/E
And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand
Emaj7 E7 A Am E Emaj7
But I miss that girl I still miss that girl
A Am E Emaj7 A Am E
Maybe someday soon, someway
Emaj7: 0 2 2 4 4 4
F#m/E: 0 4 4 2 2 2
NOTE: Obviously, there are two guitars playing. The other one is
hitting the same four harmonics over and over.

Watch Out For Lucy
[A] [C#7] [F#m] [D]
[A] [E7] [A] [E7]
Now [A] my friend Bill was just a [D] working lad
And he [C#] liked to have his [D] fun.
He'd like to [A] find a girl and get [E] comfortable
When his [D] working day was [E7] done.
He would [F#m] spend all his money on a [C#7] Friday night,
[D] Wake up in the morning [A] broke,
But he [F#m] had a run in with little [C#7] Lucy then;
Be[D]lieve me that ain't no [E7] joke.
[A] Watch [C#7] out for [F#m] Lucy, [D]
[A] Though she [C#7] may look [F#m] frail. [D]
Said, "Ex[A]cuse me, [C#7] Lucy,
[F#m] Darling don't you [D] use me;
[A] I don't want to [E7] land in [A] jail."
[A] [C#7] [F#m] [D]
[A] [E7] [A] [E7]
She [A] started out working in a [D] cafe,
Picking [C#] money up on the [D] side.
She was [A] free and easy, [E] everybody's friend,
But she [D] couldn't be satis[E7]fied.
So now [F#m] in walks Bill with his [C#7] cash in his hand,
His [D] heart upon his [A] sleeve.
We [F#m] tried to warn him a[C#7]bout her ways,
We [D] never did suc[E7]ceed.
Chorus
[A] [C#7] [F#m] [D]
[A] [E7] [A] [E7]
Well, the [A] trap was sprung for [D] poor old Bill;
You should have [C#] heard little Lucy [D] sing
"I want a [A] Cadillac car, a [E] beautiful home,
And a [D] thousand dollar [E7] ring."
They [F#m] found our hero in the [C#7] gutter
With a [D] diamond ring and a [A] gun.
He'd [F#m] done it for the love of [C#7] Lucy
And [D] ended up on the [E7] run.

Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad - Derek and the Dominos
Dm C
Got to find me a way
Dm C
Take me back to yesterday
Bb F A
How could I ever hope to forget you?
Dm C
Won't you show me a place
Dm C
Where I can hide my lonely face?
Bb F A
I know you're going to break my heart if I let you
CHORUS:
D G
Why does love got to be so sad?
D G
Why does love got to be so sad?
D G
Why does love got to be so sad?
D G
Why does love got to be so sad?
Like a moth to a flame
Like a song without a name
I've never been the same since I met you
Like a bird on the wing
I've got a brand new song to sing
I can't keep from singing about you ...CHORUS
I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me
I might have to break the law when I find you
Stop running away
I've got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you ...CHORUS

Willie And The Hand Jive
G
I know a cat named Way Out Willie
Got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie
C
He can walk and stroll and Suzy-Q
G
Do the crazy hand jive too
Momma momma look at uncle Joe
Doin' the hand jive with sister Flo
Uncle gave sister a dime
Do the hand jive one more time
CHORUS:
C G D G
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, do that crazy jive
Doctor, a lawyer and an Indian chief
They all dig that crazy beat
Way Out Willie give 'em all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet... CHORUS
Willie and Millie got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior and that ain't all
The kid's got crazy and it's plain to see
He's doin' the hand jive on T.V. ... CHORUS

Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
G D/F# C D G D/F# C D
G D/F#
It's late in the evening
C D
She's wondering what clothes to wear
G D/F#
She puts on her make up
C D
And brushes her long blonde hair
C D
And then she asks me
G Bm/F# Em
Do I look alright
C D G D/F# C D
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
G D/F#
We go a party
C D
And everyone turns to see
G D/F#
This beautiful lady
C D
That's walking around with me
C D
And then she asks me
G Bm/F# Em
Do you feel alright
C D G
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
C
I feel wonderful
D G Bm/F# Em
Because I see the love light in your eyes
C D
And the wonder of it all
C D
Is that you just don't realize
G D/F# C D G D/F# C D
How much I love you
G D/F#
It's time to go home now
C D
And I've got an aching head
G D/F#
So I give her the car keys
C D
She helps me to bed
C D
And then I tell her
G Bm/F# Em
As I turn out the light
C D G Bm/F# Em Em/D
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
C D G D/F# C D G D/F# C D G
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
