The tempo is 120 and it’s played in common time (4/4) and those
‘1 2 3 4’ markings mean where the 1/4 notes are played. I really
tried to get those timings but I’d still like to hear corrections and
other comments about them. Bass is very simple… just follow the chords.

I got some additions and corrections to this. One new riff and some changes
in chords.

Guitars 1 & 2 are overdrive guitars
Guitars 3 & 4 are ‘clean’ ones

Ah Artificial harmonic
H Hammer on
Pm Palm muting
(5)-/-/- ‘Bend’ down with bar & wibrate

Notes:

Riffs 4 and 5 are played as backing on the First and Last and Always
disc, and they’re also played by a keyboard. However, on the
“Knocking on Heaven’s Door” bootleg, at least, the lead guitar plays
them. If you only have one guitar and no keyboard, they add a little
variety to an otherwise very repetivitve song. (If you listen closely
to the studio version, you can pick up the rhythm.)

This is as far as I could get with the intro to Some Kind of Stranger.

The chord sequence at the start is :

[///////] [Am//] [Am7/] [Am/] [C//] [D////]
I think….

The Chorus is:

That I hope is enough to get you going….

Something Fast:
“““““““`

you say stay and never leave
you say meant for ever
I could believe you, but I don’t
you say we’re almost all alone together
all alone
you say
you say you will
I know you won’t

I was wrong

I was wrong to ever doubt

I can get along without

I can love my fellow man

but I’m damned if I’ll love yours

in a bar that’s always closing
in a world where people shout
I don’t wanna talk this over
I don’t wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
isn’t that what friends are for?
pain looks great on other people
that’s what they’re for

I was wrong

I was wrong to ever doubt

I can get along without

I can love my fellow man

but I’m damned if I’ll love yours

Remarks:

The above is my interpretation of the song for one guitar, but since
there are (at least) two acoustics + a bass, it’s, as usual, quite
tricky to sort out what plays what. It’s especially hard at the part
between the asterisks.

Also, I really don’t know if “B5” is really called B5 🙂

Am E C
All the things, We never needed
I don’t need them now
All the things we ever did, Were always confidential
And hidden from me anyhow

Chorus:
You can stand all night, At a red light anywhere in town
Hailing Mary’s left and right, But none of them slow down
I seen the best of men go past, I don’t want to be the last

Gimme something fast

God knows everybody needs, A hand in their decision
Some of us are not so sure
I seen his own held out, For a ride on television
I think he’s still in Baltimore

Chorus:
You can stand all night, At a red light anywhere in town
Hailing Mary’s left and right, But none of them slow down
I seen the best of men go past, I don’t want to be the last

Gimme something fast
