Love the One You’re With – Stills

Intro: G(7) D(5) G/D D (repeat)

When you’re [G(7)D(5)]down, and con[G/D]fused,
and you don’t re[G(7)]member[D(5)] who you’re talking [G/D]to,
concen[G(7)]tration[D(5)], slips a[G/D]way,
because your [G(7)D(5)]baby, is so far a[G/D]way.

Chorus 1:

Bm A G CGCG (see note 1)
Well there’s a rose in the fisted glove,
And the eagle flies with the dove,
and if you can’t be with the one you love, honey,
love the one you’re with,
love the one you’re with.

Verse 2:
Don’t be angry, don’t be sad,
and don’t sit crying, over good times you’ve had,
There’s a girl, right next to you
and she’s just waiting, for something to do.

Chorus 1:
Chorus 2: (see note 2)

Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot

Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot

Do do doot, Do do doot

Chorus 1: (No words, organ lead part)

Verse 3:
Turn your heart-ache, right into joy,
she’s a girl, and you’re a boy,
get it together, make it nice,
you ain’t gonna need, any more advice.

Chorus 1:
Chorus 2: (see note 2)

Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot

Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot

Do do doot, Do do doot

Note 1: Play the G chord barred (3 5 5 4 3 3), then play the C chord
(- 3 5 5 5 -) for the transition CGC you stum the chords once each
Note 2: The chords are strummed 1 time per “doot” (or “do”)

In article you write:
>Nevada only has “southern cross”, perhaps someone could post the chords
>(unless TAB is necessary) to this song…

Hi again…

The basic chord progression is:

If you’re down and confused…

There’s a rose in a fisted glove…

Love the one you’re with

Love the one you’re with

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do...

The acoustic guitar is actually played in open C tuning, and the lower
strings form sort of a drone throughout. Low to high, the tuning is

-4 -2 -2 0 +1 0 (deviation from standard)

and the basic riff is then

005555 004003 002001 000000

Don’t ask me how to play the Am-G-F part or the Bb-C in that tuning, though…

Andrew

PS: Incidentally, the Moody Blues’ “Question” is also in open C, and uses
the exact same pattern under the “it’s not the way that you say it” part.
Try it! The verses go

Why do we never get an answer

where Ebdim 000232 (that’s right, the same fingering as D in standard)
Dm 002001
C 000000

Marianne – Stephen Stills

Can I get through to you now, can I, Marianne
What are you trying to do now, come on, Marianne
Ain’t no use in conversation
Ooo little girl you’re outta this world, Marianne

Everyone seems to think you’re too much, Marianne
Everyone seems to think they know you, Marianne
Why you don’t even know yourself,
Ooo little girl you’re out of this world, Marianne

Wake up Marianne

|A-E-A-D-A-E| |A-E-A-D-A-E|

Ooo I can tell you’re a sweet little heart breaker, Marianne
Don’t mind me, but I think I’ll see you later, Marianne
Don’t you go flip out, trip out, skip out,
Ooo little girl you’re out of this world, Marianne

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up
Are you afraid of the shake up
There’s a better thing you can take up, wake up, Marianne

Wake up Marianne
Come on Marianne
Wake up Marianne

Intro: A7 Em7 (6X)

Fishes and Scorpions in the morning sun
Dance to the changing seasons get away with none

Water sign in the air touch the earth with flame
See the friendly Sagittarian do you remember his name

Lovers of lions stay away at feeding time
Is all the Taurus takes mimicking life in rhyme

And can you tell me what does it do for you girl
And can you tell me who is that you knew girl
In the shadow of starshine everyone’s going blind
Lookout you don’t lose your mind
I don’t know if it’s a fantasy
It don’t mean too much to me
In the shadow of starshine everyone’s going blind

Gemini lady did you see me chasing you
I don’t think I did I only tried to get through

I Thought I Knew You
But I Didn’t Know Myself
Went Down The Wrong Road
Leading To The Past
I Know You’re Trying
To Rearrange Your Mind
But When You’re Lying
Do You Laugh In My Face
Turn Back
Turn Back The Pages
Who Remembers Names?
Who Remembers Faces?
Turn Back
Don’t Drive Yourself Crazy
Life’s Too Short
For Ritualistic Chases
Maybe Tomorrow
You’ll Find The Time To Cry
And In Your Sorrow
You’ll See The Mirror Never Lies
Just Last Like The Last Time
You Tried To Pull Me Down
You Are The Fast Kind
And You’re Blind And Deaf Besides
So Turn Back
Turn Back The Pages
Who Remembers Names?
Who Remembers Faces?
Turn Back
Don’t Drive Yourself Crazy
Life’s Too Short
For Repetitious Changes
Turn Back

Turn Back
Turn Back
Turn Back
No Use Denying
You’re Wasting Time
Because You’re Crying
With Bitterness To Hide
Just Trying To Prove
You Don’t Need Nobody Else
But You’re Bound To Lose
Lying To Yourself
So Turn Back
Turn Back The Pages
Who Remembers Names?
Who Remembers Faces?
Turn Back
Don’t Drive Yourself Crazy
Life’s Too Short
Life’s Too Short
For Ritualistic Chases

Church (Part Of Someone)

Intro: D G7 D

You see, it’s my thing to be part of someone
As a true friend is part of me
You know that there’s so much little girl, we’ve got to tell each other
About the whole world and most especially one another,
oh yeah, all right. And you know, and you know?

Chorus:
And it’s hard, yes it is
It’s hard, yes it is
And I wonder
I wonder could it be a dream?

And you know that the self made man, babe is truly shallow
He knows he’s no one but who he wants to be
So while you still sing, baby, You got to tell me, baby
Is it your thing to be part of anyone?
Anyone, anyone

Chorus (x2)+
I wonder if it’s a dream
And it’s now, children, could it be a dream?

By: Jos Duarte
jtduarte1@netcabo.pt

You can do what you want to do
You can be who you want to be
Just remember that me and you
Ain’t all there is to bein’ free

Chorus:
People need love, people need trust
People need one another and that means us
My sugar babe, believe me, sugar babe

Everyone knows it ain’t easy
But when you get it all together in your heart
It’s the easiest thing to do to be pleasin’
Folks ain’t made to live apart

Chorus

Let yourself be open honey learn to bend
Remember everyone gets scared, but I’m still your best friend
When you forget about yourself and think of things to do
To make me happy then you love me girl like I love you

How do turtles talk to one another
They just look, there’s no reason to cower
Just like people they’re drawn to each other
They don’t live in no ivory tower
Chorus

So close, then again so far away
Where are the answers, I hear them everyday
Lovin’ you from a distance never did make it anyway

So close, then again so far away
Here come little Miss Bright eyes socking it to me everyday
I got to get next to the girl or I got to get away

by: Jos Duarte
jtduarte1@gmail.com

Drawn to a flame she is far away
Out of reach
Will she burn her wings I can only watch
Out of touch
out of my mind

I wish i could tell if she’s alright
Feeling fine
It’s lucky for me I’m not a jealous man
Out of hand
Out of my mind

When this party’s over, over
I will loose her to another

Get yourself high on someone
And then say goodbye,
Don’t you cry.

Go ahead break your heart,
but don’t fall apart.
It’s like saying goodbye to Paris
For the first time.

Thoroughfare Gap chords
Stephen Stills

Sometimes I consider my pace,
I’m reminded of a train gathering speed,
for the climb to the pass

In whose shadow it all really lies,
a small metal wagon approaching,
the ever present ascending rise;
to the southern mountains

Reeling and snaking and leaping,
it seems like it wants to come loose,
from its path cast in iron

But she can’t slow down now,
as the earth has presented,
a new crest to reach
without barely a rest;
from the last one

And you wonder just what lies beyond,
though you’ve been there before,
and forget about the effort and the strain

Always ascending,
each yard adds a mile,
to the never-ending pull,
of the steepening grade;
that’s before you

A valley, A forest, A desert, A stream,
with an oversized bridge,
for the trickle there beneath

You remember the torrent,
it turned to last spring,
from the snows melting fast
and the river it became;
in the summer

Perhaps it is ruined,
from a fire that has scorched it,
so badly that nothing
will grow without rain

To wash away the blackened soil,
now useless till called upon again,
in a future as twisted and far away;
as the next range of mountains

So take it as far as you see
and beyond,
with eyes you don’t use enough,
gather up strength

As Thoroughfare Gap,
will await you forever,
you’re seeking to get there
for even before;
it’s no matter;
no distance;
it’s the ride

From the album “JUST ROLL TAPE”

When the morning breaks,

Chase away the snakes,

As if my fate – to dream of snakes

Darkness is a boon,
Paradoxes loom,
Thinking room – lonliness dooms,

In my bed I curse,
Dispair around me swirls,
I whirl! And find a girl

Tabbed by Jeff Grottick
