Rock ‘til You Drop 1991

My favourite from this album.
Tune your guitar to ‘drop D’ and go for it!

Ma Kelly’s Greasy Spoon 1970

The chords are fingerpicked so
some notes aren’t heard.
So BE CAREFULL not to hit wrong notes.
Does anyone know who plays violin on this?
Bob Young perhaps?

|C| |C|

My eyes can see
Caug
my hands can feel
my ears can hear
my eyes can see
They can see everything
everything

A bird that files
Caug
a bird that dies
and who knows why?
but with my eyes
I can see everything
everything

And now the dawn is breaking
I see the dawn is breaking
and life seems very good to me
I see your face is smiling

Your bed looks warm inviting
I feel your hand walk over me

I climb in bed beside you
the past is not behind you
You feel a little pain inside

and now our heads are whirring

it’s done there’s no returning
You feel the little pain, it dies

My eyes can see
Caug
my hands can feel
my ears can hear
my eyes can see
They can see everything
everything

A bird that files
Caug
a bird that dies
and who knows why?
but with my eyes
I can see everything
everything
and who knows what it all means?

#So here we go…
#
#
Everywhere I dare to go, the corners that I turn
Im sure to see a face I know, someone who doesnt earn
Thats all I ever get to hear is other peoples woe

Lets climb into a rocket and well press the one and go
Although they say it cant be done
Dont say to me it cant be done

Looking how we used to be, the way and what we wore
The things we hoped the future held but always wanted more
If God had meant for man to fly he would have given wings
He didnt, so we have to make the best of everything
So lets not say it cant be done
Although they say it cant be done

Dont say to me everybody says it cant be done
That there aint no chance at all
Anybody can be right or wrong
When there aint no chance at all

Half the world is in a mess, the other half as well
Ive got a feelin strange to me I wish that I could tell
It wont be long before we push the button I am sure
So throw away the key when I am locked behind the door
Youre telling me it cant be done
Stop telling me it cant be done

Dont say to me everybody says it cant be done
That there aint no chance at all
Anybody can be right or wrong
When there aint no chance at all

Half the world is in a mess, the other half as well
Ive got a feelin strange to me I wish that I could tell
It wont be long before we push the button I am sure
So throw away the key when I am locked behind the door
Youre telling me it cant be done
Stop telling me it cant be done
Lets pray and pray it can be done
Just pray and pray it can be done
It can be done
It can be done
It can be done

The opener of Under The Influence. It hasn’t got a drive as most of the
songs of this album but it’s a good song. I like the lyrics. I wrote it
down in C sharp, but I could have written it down in D-flat just as well.

1. Chords and rythm

The basic rhythm during the song (except for the intro and first verse)
sounds like this:

(how do you)

Verse:
How do you do? Tell me how are you?
Have you been well?
Give my re-gards to the [C#5sus4]world
Hand on my heart, I didn’t do what they say
Cos I would rather be blind
or lose my mind com- [F#5sus2]pletely

Chorus:
Twenty Wild Horses and five hundred man
They couldn’t drag me that far down again
Give me a colt 45 to my head
so I can say I’d be better off dead
Straight as an arrow I’ll make a new start
What can I tell you, it’s straight from the heart

Verse 2:
I have a dream and it’s the same every night
I sleep with you, everything seems to be right
Beyond belief
When I a- wake and I find, that I am stuck in this place
My back’s to the wall com- pletely

3. Tabs

Intro:
Rythm guitar

For the intro-part you have to emphasize every first not of the triplet
As far as I can hear it’s played with alternated up and down strokes
so you have to emphasize upstrokes to. This is the pattern:

> > > > the note that has to be emphasized

This may require some practice but once mastered you can use it in
other quo-songs too.

Verse 1:
This is my interpretation of how the first verse is accompanied but…
don’t take my word for it. As far as I can hear, two guitars are picking
separate intervals of the chords I gave above for verse one. Taking this
as a starting-point I come to the conclusion that the two guitars are
playing the following notes:

E|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||
B|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||

Guitar 1 G|11|11|13|13|11|11|11|13||11|11|13|13|11|11|13|11||
D|11|11|11|11|9-|9-|9-|11||11|11|11|11|9-|9-|11|11||

A|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||
E|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||
E|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||
B|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||
Guitar 2 G|--|--|--|--|9-|9-|--|--||--|--|--|--|9-|--|--|11||

D|11|11|11|11|9-|9-|11|11||11|11|11|11|9-|11|11|11||

A|9-|9-|11|11|--|--|9-|11||9-|9-|11|11|--|9-|9-|9-||
E|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--||

Only the two guitars together are making the chords. So if you want
to play it on your own you can make a mixture (see the chords
I indicated for verse 1).
I play the intervals like this:

E|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|11-11-11----11----11-11-11----11----|
D|---------11----11----------11----11-|
A|------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|

Here will follow the bars between the intro and verse one:

E|--|-----------------------------------|
B|--|-----------------------------------|
G|6/|11---11----11----11-11-11----11----|
D|6/|11------11----11----------11----11-|
A|--|-----------------------------------|
E|--|-----------------------------------|

2x

E||-------------------------------------||
B||------------------------------------||
G||-11-11-11----11----11-11-11----11----||
D||----------11----11----------11----11-||
A||------------------------------------||
E||-------------------------------------||

Chorus:
You can find the chords and rhythm of the chorus above. During the
second and third chorus the other guitar is playing the full chords
on the first beat and keeps it ringing for two bars and strikes the
other chord.

Break:
I can’t really hear the guitarparts during the break ‘cause it’s
absorbed in the totalsound. I think one guitar is pumping the
powerchords (G#5, C#5) and the other one is strumming the full
chords with a cleaner sound. That’s an important thing to know
play the powerchord with a distorted guitar and the full chords
with a clean guitar. Some full chords sound awful on a distorted
guitar (try for example Cmaj7 X3545X).

During the second part the intro-reedle is coming in again. You
find it above. During the F#5 chords the same pattern is played
in the 11th position.

Rick’s part

This part is palmuted throughout the song. It is very simple.
The more interesting part is played by Alan on bass. But he
wrote the song, didn’t he?

Verse 3: almost the same as verse 1

14x

E||------------------|| It takes 14 bars before the song
B||----------------|| is completely faded out.
G||------------------|| Rick alternates these straight
D||-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--|| eights with sixteen notes and
A||3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|| gallop rhythm. Just improvise.
E||------------------||

in a gallop rhythm each crotched (quarter note) is divided in
one quaver (eight note) and two semi-quavers (sixteenth note),
so the rhythm sounds as if you’re hearing a horse galloping.

Roll Over Lay down
(Rossi/Young/Parfitt/Lancaster/Coghlan)

When I got home that night
Early one morning[-]
Seeing the note written in ink
Pinned to the door[-]
Taking a drink cool from the fridge
Walk from the table[-]
I drank a toast you were the most
The night before

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over
It´s a long way where I´ve been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night
After this morning
Show me the care you showed in the note
The night before
Maybe I won´t take a drink
From the table
Reckon I´ll lay me straight
Down the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over
It´s a long way where I´ve been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night
After this morning
Show me the care you showed in the note
The night before
Maybe I won´t take a drink
From the table
Reckon I´ll lay me straight
Down the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over
It´s a long way where I´ve been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

The ending chords after a long solo:

[-] [-] [-] [-]
REMARK: On the string where the mark is placed to the right, don’t bend the string all the way up to the 11th fret in every 9b11, but make it appr. 10,5 to get a sort of a “blue” tone. 13bbend the string just a little!

Roadhouse Blues
(The Doors)

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we’re goin’ to the Roadhouse
We’re gonna have a real
Good time

Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some one to love
Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some one to love
And that’s sort of people
Who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it r[H-C-H]oll, all night long

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta thrill my soul, all right
Roll, roll, roll, roll
Thrill my soul
You gotta beep a gunk a chucha
Honk konk konk
You gotta each you puna
Each ya bop a luba
Each yall bump a kechonk
Ease sum konk

I should have made you, I should have made you
Give up your vows, give up your vows
Save our city, save our city
Right now

Well, I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer
The future’s uncertain, and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Everytime I watch you gotta switch you off
You surely can’t be serious
Everytime I see you I just can’t believe you
Totally ridiculous
All those days I spent staring at your wilderness
All those ways you got to me, threw me
You, you leave me speechless

You, you make me scared of you, you make me scared
Of losing concentration
Whoo! Make me afraid of you, make me afraid of
Losing conver- conver- conver- conver- conversation
All my friends say that you’re completely fruitless
Hide away with you, I’m guilty, I’m guilty
You’ve found my only weakness

You, you leave me spechless, you, you leave me speechless
You, you leave me speechless
I said you, you leave me speechless, you, you leave me speechless
You, you leave me speechless
I said you, you leave me speechless, you, you leave me speechless
You, you leave me speechless
I said you, you leave me speechless, you, you leave me speechless
Speechless, speechless, speechless, speechless

En-ter-tain-ment, ah!

You leave me speechless, still leave me speechless
You leave me speechless, you leave me spee-ee-ee-eechless
You leave me speechless, still leave me speechless
You leave me speechless, you leave me spee-ee-ee-eechless
You leave me speechless, still leave me speechless
You leave me speechless, you leave me spee-ee-ee-eech…

…Less

Your remote control is sending out patrols
I’ve got consumer sadness
Spray me, camouflage me, blind me so I can’t see
Help me through this madness
All those years I spent clinging to your warm breast
All those words mean less
I don’t think, I just
Gotta get it off my chest – you pest!

You, you leave me speechless, you, you leave me speechless
You, you leave me speechless
I said you, you leave me speechless, you, you leave me speechless
You, you leave me speechless
I said you, you leave me speechless, you, you leave me speechless
You, you leave me speechless
I said you, you leave me speechless, you, you leave me speechless
Speechless, speechless, speechless, speechless

You leave me speechless
I said you leave me, you leave me
You leave me speechless
I said you leave me, you leave me
You leave me speechless

VERSE EXAMPLE:

Whispering, you know I saw you were whispering
Listening, you didn’t think I was listening
I got the right things all wrong again, once again
I hurt you, never feeling

PRE CHORUS EXAMPLE:

[(C#m)]Don’t fall apart
or lose your heart
you’re far away
is it clear when I say

CHORUS EXAMPLE:

[(D)]Sorry for saying the things that I said
sorry for s[E/G#]tarting it all
all I can say is sorry to you
and [E/G#]kiss your lips
and tell you I love you
