Guitar Chord/Tab Posting


Welcome to the first issue of the Guitar Chord/Tab Posting Club Newsletter (for lack of a better name:-) ). This grew out of my mailing list which became slightly more than I could handle with a regular e-mail account. From now on these newsletters will be posted (most likely renewed once or twice a week) at this same address. Prior issues will be kept online at "http://www.student.toplinks.com/hp/rovernut/pastpost.html" until the new issue takes its place. If you have not joined the former mailing list or new club, please take the time to fill out my form at "http://members.tripod.com/~rovernut/joinlist.html". For now, enjoy the music! You may click on the title in the index of one of the songs to go directly to it, or you may page through the entire document.

A note on abbreviations:
crd=chords
tab=tabulature
#'s=numbered music with corresponding chords
bas=bass tab

"No One Needs To Know" - Shania Twain
Transcribed by AJ Helton

     C           G
Am I dreamin' or stupid?

  C                       F
I think I've been hit by Cupid

    C      G        F    G     C
But no one needs to know right now.


        C             G
I met a talk dark and handsome man

    C                     F
And I've been busy makin' big plans

    C      G        F    G     C
But no one needs to know right now.


         C             G
I got my heart set, my feet wet

    C             F
And he don't even know yet

    C      G        F    G     C
But no one needs to know right now.


              F                      C
I'll tell him someday, some way, somehow

              Am        F          G     G+
But I'm gonna keep this secret for now.


       C                G
I want bells to ring, a choir to sing

          C                                         F
The white dress, the guests, the cake, the car, the whole darn thing

    C      G        F    G     C
But no one needs to know right now.


              F                      C
I'll tell him someday, some way, somehow

              Am        F          G     G+
But I'm gonna keep this secret for now.


             C              G
We'll have a little girl, a little boy

         C             F
A little Benji we call Leroy

    C      G        F    G     C
But no one needs to know right now.


            Am F          C          G
And I'm not lonely lonely anymore at night

             Am   F         C              G
And he don't know only only he can make it right.

[BREAK] D - D - A - A - D - D - G - G
        D - A - G - A - D - D - D - D

            Bm G          D          A
And I'm not lonely lonely anymore at night

             Bm   G         D              A
And he don't know only only he can make it right.


        N.C.
I'm not dreamin' or stupid

    D                      G
But boy have I been hit by Cupid

    D      A        G    A     Bm
But no one needs to know right now.

G               D      A        G    A     Bm
No one, no one, no one needs to know right now

G               D      A        G           A
No one, no one, no one needs to know, oh-ee-oh

      D           D A D
Right now.

Down the seven bridges road


REST OF VERSES
There are stars in the southern sky,
Southward as you go.
There is moonlight and moss in the trees,
Down the seven bridges road.

There are stars in the southern sky.
And if ever you decide you should go.
There is a taste of thyme sweet and honey.
Down the seven bridges road.

transcribed by: evan c. parker
                ecpark@mail.wm.edu

this song is ment to be picked... so listen to the cd and get the
pick pattern down or create your own.  in the chording below, the D
actually signifies by half of a measure of a D chord followed by a
half a measure of a Dsus chord.

Am                                C
People living their lives for you on TV
                G                   D
They say they're better than you and you agree
Am                          C
He says hold my calls from behind those covered crosses
 G                            D
come here boy... there ain't nothing for free
Am                     C
Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill
                    G                                    D
Another cute cheap thrill, you know you love him if you put him in your will

        Am        C         G            D
CHROUS: Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower
        Am        C         G                  D
        Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy
        Am        C         G               D
        Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?

        Am  C  G  D

Am                             C
We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them
G                                      D
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
Am                     C
Another day, another dollar, another war,
          G                           D
another tower went up to where the homeless had their homes
Am                     C
So we pray to as many different gods are there are
   G                   D
flowers but we call religion our friend
Am                      C
We're so worried about saving our souls
             G                              D
Afraid that God will take His toll that we forget to begin

CHROUS

Interlude -  E

Am                          C
Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their
 G                                       D
kill... you get social security, but it doesn't pay your bills
           Am                               C
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
        G                                   D
So you bargain with the Devil, say you're o.k. for today,
         Am                        C
You say that you love them, take their money and run
                G                             D
Say, it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those
  Am                                        C
things, those flings, those strings you've got to cut,
        G                              D
So get out on the streets, girls, and bust your butts.

(repeat)

G                     F                                  A
Kicking around in the center of the town looking through shop windows

C#m        F#m        G
Those mannequins look far too real at night

G                      F                             A
Friday's child doesn't know if it's awake or if it's dreaming

       C#m         F#m       G               A
(says) Don't worry dad, I'll do my bit, I'll raise the flag

I'll be just like you.....

(chorus 2x then verse chords)

      G              A              B

Talking to my old tom cat

They were talking about hockey

The cat was talking back

Playing tricks on me
