This old heart of mine
by
Rod Stewart

lka@cs.bham.ac.uk

Intro:
A C#m D C#m Bm E7 (twice)

This old heart of mine
Being broken a thousand times
Each time you break away I feel you’re gonna stay
Lonely nights to come
Memories that burn
When you look back again hurting me more and more

()

Maybe it’s my mistake
To show this love I feel inside
’Cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing every time
that I fall apart

I love you, yes I do, this old heart
I love you, yes I do, yes I do, reach for you

I’ve tried hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keep me flying
The way you treat me, leaves me incomplete
Girl you’re here for the day
Gone for the week
Girl if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I’ll take you back
I’ll go wherever you want
I’m not to tell you story of a doubted heart

I love you, yes I do, this old heart
I love you, yes I do, yes I do, reach for you

This old heart of mine
Being broken a thousand times
Each time you break away I feel you’re gonna stay
Lonely nights to come
Memories that burn
When you look back again hurting me more and more

INTRO: G Dsus4 C G

In these days of changing ways
So called liberated days
C G
A story comes to mind of a friend of mine

Georgie boy was gay I guess
Nothing more or nothing less
C G
The kindest guy I ever knew

His mother’s tears fell in vain
The afternoon george tried to explain
That he needed love like all the rest

Pa said there must be a mistake
How can my son not be straight
After all I’ve said and done for him

INSTRUMENTAL: G Dsus4 C G

Leaving home on a greyhound bus
Cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these gay days it seems

INSTRUMENTAL: G Dsus4 C G

Georgie went to new york town
Where he quickly settled down
And soon became the toast of the great white way

Accepted by manhattan’s elite
In all the places that were chic
No party was complete without george

Along the boulevards he’d cruise
And all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody loved georgie boy

INSTRUMENTAL & WHISTLING: G Dsus4 C G

The last time I saw george alive
Was in the summer of seventy-five
He said he was in love I said I’m pleased

George attended the opening night
Of another broadway hype
But split before the final curtain fell

Deciding to take a short cut home
Arm in arm they meant no wrong
A gentle breeze blew down fifth avenue

INSTRUMENTAL: G Dsus4 C G

Out of a darkened side street came
A new jersey gang with just one aim
To roll some innocent passer-by

There ensued a fearful fight
Screams rang out in the night
Georgie’s head hit a sidewalk cornerstone

A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night

The sight of blood dispersed the gang
A crowd gathered, the police came
An ambulance screamed to a halt on fifty-third and third

INSTRUMENTAL: G Dsus4 C G

Georgie’s life ended there
But I ask who really cares
George once said to me and I quote

He said never wait or hesitate
Get in kid, before it’s too late
You may never get another chance

‘cos youth a mask but it don’t last
Live it long and live it fast
Georgie was a friend of mine

INSTRUMENTAL & WHISTLE – G Dsus4 C G – 2x’s

G C (NOTE: THE C CHORDS ARE PLAYED AS REGULAR
C CHORDS FROM THIS POINT ON)

HIGH E STRING: —8b–5b–

Oh georgie stay, don’t go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away

(C F G C – PLAY THESE SAME CHORDS OVER AND OVER UNTIL END)
Oh georgie stay, don’t go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh georgie stay, don’t go away
Georgie, georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh georgie stay

Have I Told You Lately
Words and Music by Van Morrison
Recorded by Rod Stewart

Slowly
[Eb/F]
[Eb/F]

Have I told you lately that I love you?[Eb/F]
Have I told you there’s no one else above you?[Eb/F]
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
ease my troubles that’s what you do.[Eb/F]

Verse 1.
For the morning sun in all it’s glory[Eb/F]
greets the day with hope and comfort, too.[Eb/F]
You fill my life with laughter and somehow you make it better,
ease my t[Eb/F]roubles that’s what you do.

Chorus:
[Bb/D]
There’s a love that’s divine
and it’s yours and it’s mine….like the sun.
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray to the one, [Eb/F]to the one.

Verse 2.
Instrumental: Same chords and tempo as Verse 1.

Outro:
And have I told lately that I love you?[Eb/F]
Have I told you there’s no one else above you?[Eb/F]
You fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
ease my t[Eb/F]roubles that’s what you do.[Bb/D]
Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
ease my t[Eb/F]roubles that’s what you do.[Bb/D]
Take away all my sadness, fill my heart with gladness,
ease my t[Eb/F]roubles that’s what you do……

Chords:
Bb 003331
Dm7 xx0211
Ebmaj7 x65333
Eb/F xx3343
Cm7 x35343

I think the major problem I have is trying to get these chords to sound
clear. Oh well, good luck.

It’s Over – Rod Stewart
Tabbed by Roj Vincent

The congregation sang, we knelt and prayed
As we stood before God on that beautiful day
Church bells rang and the champagne flowed
As our friends gather round for the wedding photo
And here we are barely five years on
And our w[F/E]hole world’s falling apart
All the plans we had together, Up in smoke and gone for ever
[F/E]Poisoned by the lawyer’s letter, It’s over
I don’t want our kids to suffer, Can’t we talk to one another
[F/E]You were once my wife, my lover, It’s over
Rumours and whispers tear me apart
But I k[F/E]now you better than that

Break C Am Dm G

Inseparable were we with a breeze in our sails
Now I feel a chill wind of a marriage that failed
And our friends are divided, they’ve taken their sides
Now they all sit back, and watch the circus unwind
I don’t stand here trying to focus the blame
But I’m hurting deep down inside

All the pain and all the grieving, When did we stop believing
T[F/E]oo late now to stop the bleeding, It’s over
What’s the sense in pointing fingers, Who’s the saint and who’s the sinner
Th[F/E]ere ain’t gonna be a winner, It’s over
Oh my dear, what happened to us, Tell me where did it all go wrong

Break Am F Am Dm Am Dm G

What’s the use in keep on fighting, All the tears, all the crying
Why do we keep denying, It’s over
In all the time I thought I knew you, Don’t forget our children’s future
I would do whatever suits you, Oh yeah!
It’s over
It’s over
Yeah, it’s over

Verse 1

Never get to bed before sunup always get caught in the rain

Sometimes I might get in trouble never was one to complain

Now gentleman you must agree ain’t it worth it when you’re out on cloud thirty-three to be

Stone cold sober again
Down in the alley again
optional[(F][F#)]
Stone cold sober again

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rod_stewart/stone_cold_sober_crd.html )

Never found a dime in a gutter always get my best friends drunk

If the president tries to call me say Rodney come on over for lunch

I’d say gentlemen excuse me please but I’m busy with my buddies up on cloud thirty-three

Chorus

Verse 3

Sunday is a drag so forget it Monday you can make up for that

Tuesday take a taste for dinner if you’re all right spend it in bed

INTRO: C G/B Am F Dm F C

If only I?d have li[G/B]stened to all of my closest friends
And knew that it was [G/B]over and the party had to end
If only I?d have n[G/B]oticed the sadness in her eyes
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only

If only I?d have r[G/B]ealized the unimportance of being cool
To give a kiss and [G/B]maybe just say ?darling I love you?
If only I?d said I?m [G/B]sorry, I?d have been a much better man
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only

There?s an emptiness that fills my heart
Now that she?s not here
I loved her more than my own life
Something I?ve always feared, if only

If only I had come [G/B]home that night
Instead of stayin? out for one more drink
If only I?d been u[G/B]nconcerned what the other guys may think
If only I?d have held her [G/B]tight, but I guess it?s too late now
Oh how blind could one man be, if only

Woah oh but I will not be sad after all the fun we?ve had
You live some and you learn some, if only

BRIDGE: G# D# Bb F G# D# Bb C

If only I could c[G/B]onvince her the importance of one more chance
If only God would a[G/B]llow me one more celestial dance
If only I had the n[G/B]erve to call her up and tell her how I feel
She?d still be in my arms tonight, if only

But it?s only love and love ain?t real
It?s only a four letter word
We spend half our lives chasing after it
How wonderfully absurd, if only

Woah woah but I will not be sad after all the fun we had
You live some and you learn some
Woah but I will not be sad after all the fun that we had
You live some and you learn some
You learn some, if only

Holy crap that was a long intro to tab. Ok, during the verse, one guitar
sounds like it’s doing the standard blues thing, while the other messes
around
with the barre form of the chords, using standard pentatonic and blues
scale.
