Re:RPM Cover Library - 2008/04/17 19:21OK, I'll put up what I gather from feedback are the two most popular songs on my album.
Behind The Moon
Code:
D
You see yourself in the mirror falling
A
Falling fast, but not quite falling through
D
Don't look back
D
You see yourself release your old fear
A
Release the fear, but not you hang-ups too
D
Don't go back
<em>(Chorus)</em>
G D
As the rain pours down upon your face
G
You look up, to see the moon turn blue
A
But no matter how hard you look it's gone
You sense yourself in a dream of nothing
Nothing there but a slow sad three note tune
Don't react
You find yourself on a long dark highway
A silent scream fills your mind but not the view
Don't hold back
<em>(Chorus)
(Mid 8)</em>
C
Escapist theme to your meaningless story
B
Don't keep up with the news
C
Youll go down in a blaze of glory
A
With that attitude
<em>(Chorus x 2)</em>
An Ingenious Confession Of The Truth
Code:
<em>Verses follow G D A C (except where shown)</em>
An ingenious confession of the truth
Masks the falsehoods from the fools
Stamping down on fabrication
Drain the will out from the nation
An egregious denial of the facts
Morale goes down not coming back
Bleats and barks form opposition
As he stands firm in his position <em>(verse ends in G G7)</em>
<em>(Chorus)</em>
Bm A6
Follow blindly down the path of least resistance
Bm D Dsus4
Crouch in shame as you succumb
Bm A6
Knowing words proclaim the peak of your existence
Bm D F# G A
You don't miss a beat, you keep on banging the drum
An exemplary dictation of intent
Behold the cash already spent
The shit has flown but nothing's stuck
Stock goes down as well as up
<em>(Chorus x 2)</em>

she tries to hard, to be the master of her everything random chance has no place here if it can't be cleaned or put away and her highway, stretches far and wide selfish seeking silence in the fray sickly, uninviting, and turn away welcome to your everything

sleep
(intro chords (A, D7) (A) fading, just so, the light, the light out my window, hold tight, hold (D7) tight fading (A) (A) stretching out, this road, goes on and on out my window, who even knows which road we're (D7) on stretching, forever (A) but i just wanna (G) sleep, my (D) life away (A) (G) please don't wake me (D) up, until we arrive (A) falling, in and out, the love the love point fingers, everyone's innocent and to (D7) blame falling, in or out (A) (A) sighing, laughing, the way back home it seems so clear enough with the words hold tight, hold (D7) tight sighing, laughing, crying (A) but i'd just rather (G) sleep, my (D) life away (A) (G) please don't wake me (D) up, until we arrive (A)

You got claws that rip my clothes And you got jaws that sting Baby I'm the cat that got the cream (Baby I'm the girl who got the cream) Got that Shakespearian tale And I love it when you sing I always hear you coming ting-a-ling (Baby I'm the girl who got the cream)
I'm no kitten at your ankles You're no ball of string Baby I'm your tiger lovin' thing (Baby I'm your tiger lovin' thing)
You don't care to talk about The things that drive you wild Baby you can show me in awhile (Baby you can show me in awhile) Got a perfect plan to use My cunning and my guile Anything else is just doggy style (Baby you can show me in awhile)
I'm no kitten at your ankles You're no ball of string Baby I'm your tiger lovin' thing (Baby be my tiger lovin' thing)
Others try... To tame you and me... But so tragically... We are out of their league, yeah yeah yeah
I sometimes find I fight the case Of things that are untrue Like the case for keeping you (Like the case for keeping you) And I know why you're out all night Because I do it too Even though trashcan chic's so last June (Like the case for keeping you)
I'm no kitten at your ankles You're no ball of string Baby I'm your tiger lovin' thing (Do you wanna be my tiger lovin' thing) I'm no kitten at your ankles You're no ball of string Baby I'm your tiger lovin' thing (Do you wanna be my tiger lovin' thing)

This is the completely unadulterated, chord-type-chart-thing for "watch it go." I can definitely do an easier one if you'd like. There arent too many fast changes, but there are plenty of chords. If you have that barre chord down yet, you should be okay. I'd be glad to simplify it for you, as well as tell you how to play any chord you'd like, if you need a hand.
In the strange circumstance that anyone would like any other of my songs, I'd be glad to post those as well.
Intro G to G maj 7 (tab 3X400X)
Verse 1 (same chords) I was writing to you about writing to you on a train cause there's something unnerving about speeding and swerving through lanes G----------------G/F#------Em-------------------------Bm------D thinking of the passion that old fashioned movies portrayed F---------------------------Am----------------------Em---(D/F#)---G the anticipation, the landscapes, the station, the soft serenade
Chorus 1 ---------C-------------Cm----------Bb------------------F in my mind i want it though my eyes will watch it go --------Fm--------Ab----------------(intro chords) but sometimes to grow you just get smaller
Verse 2 thinking of the words that i've now only heard in black and white how what others could say now seems trite or cliched or not right and love is a ball tossed around by us all and then dropped and the chivalrous arts of the humphrey bogarts has altogether stopped
Chorus 2 ---------C-------------Cm-----Bb-------------Bbm--------------F in my mind i watch it but the world will close it shut before our eyes --------Fm--------Ab---Eb----C----(Cm) and the wind will erase our minds
(intro chords)
Verse 3 G-------------------D----------------Em i was writing to you about riding to you on a train F--------------------------------------Am--------------------------Em its narrow and crowded but there's something about it that's sane

Re:RPM Cover Library - 2008/04/18 01:31D- Love, it's a G- Labia of Love D Your hymen, G- it fits, it fits like a glove
F When there is Bb interaction G My nether regions scream in satisfaction F Your perfectly Bb formed clitoris G Sends me into carnal bliss

Re:RPM Cover Library - 2008/04/18 02:39I'm going to record one of these tomorrow. Haven't decided which yet. I like the idea of other interpretations of peoples music. And I like the idea of other people re-interpreting mine. Should be an interesting thread this, if it takes off.

Re:RPM Cover Library - 2008/04/18 19:56I keep on thinking about my songs and thinking of the chords used. Even though most of the songs I'm thinking about have normal chords, there's a few of the chords I have no idea what they would be named. And I haven't been able to find them on/in any guides. I guess I could just map those couple of questionable chords out on a tablature setup if I put one of my songs up on here...arggghhh.

(E7) You said "Intrigue me please" (E7) I could surely see (A) That you just could not be (E7) ignored
(E7) So we talked for like (E7) Twenty minutes. y'know it seemed like (A) But it was really all night (E7) long (E7) You had a hold on me (E7) It was plain to see (A) And in my mind, I was writing this (E7) song.
Chorus
(G) Baby, Baby, Baby, Yeah (A) My folk punk baby yeah (E7) Baby, Baby, Baby, Yeah (G) My folk (A) punk baby (E7) yeah
(E7) You liked my sandpaper voice (E7) I simply had no choice (A) We both hate the same kinds of (E7) shit
(E7) We are shallow as hell (E7) But as deep as a well (A) And neither of mind, not a (E7) bit
(E7) You got me from the start (E7) Got my black little heart (A) And from you I never will (E7) stray
(E7) See, you got my attention (E7) Now I'm in your detention (A) And I'd have it no other fuckin' (E7) way..

TRY AGAIN by Strummindude
Intro:
| F | / | / | / |
| Gm7 | C7 | F | C+5 |
Verse 1:
F
Done with my duties and done for the day
F
Dust in my throat and a pocket of pay
F Gm7
Bar looks enticing, better than staring at walls
C7
Crammed in a corner, content for a while
C7 F
The stranger beside me looks up with knowing smile
Chorus:
Bb
You wanna see the world
Dm
Behold the oyster’s pearl
G7
Grab your hat and get going
C
Cause life won’t wait around for stragglers like you
Bb
It goes around and round
Dm
And once you’re lost you’re found
G7 C7 F C+5
Make the most of your days - you don’t get to try again
Verse 2:
F
Lured in the rhythm of stories and lore
F
Tales of adventure like nothing before
F Gm7
Made my commitment, made it right there and then
C7
No more commuter town blue-collar lies
C7 F
Where living’s reduced to the quest for a soft demise
Chorus:
Bb
You wanna see the world …

Dm Am It's a long way up through the dark black clouds Dm E7 Where trouble grows but don't look now Dm Am 'Cause here it comes on this old brick town E7 Am The gray rainbow is coming down
I was a working man down at the mill But they closed the door so I work the still Making moonshine and drinking it down Until the next job comes around (Chorus)
For fifty years that mill and I Sent poison smoke into the sky And since those days don't nothing grow But a thundercloud and a gray rainbow (Chorus)
These friends of mine with nothing to do Tried my moonshine - now they drink it too So I make a dime when they come around The only paying work I've found (Chorus)
(instr.)
Been a long long time - it seems like years And we're going blind and no one cares 'Cause all this town's got left to show Is a thundercloud and a gray rainbow (Chorus)

Re:RPM Cover Library - 2008/04/24 01:38How you all doing? Sister Savage is already doing this one (and I eagerly await the result), but hey. Yes, I do rhyme 'numbers' with 'encompass', but I think I just about get away with it.
No Reply
Em-------A-------Em-------A
Em----------A---------------------Em Am I doing nothing to feed my mind
--------A So unkind the picture
Em------------A----------------Em Feeling I'm a million feet behind
---------A Going blind
Em------A Alien numbers
Em----A------------------Em To encompass all I've done
----------------------A-------------------Em But I couldn't get away from empty grind
--------A To unwind
--------------G-----------------------A-------------------Em Through the dark and through the light I'll practice this
---------------G------------------------A--------------Em Through the day and through the night I can't resist
G------ A-------------Em But I fear the goodbye
G-------A---------Em And I hear no reply
--------------------A------------------Em Trapped inside a dozen points of view
------------A None are true
Em---------------A------------------Em Walking to the mountain two by two
-----------A Me with you
Em-----A Final curtain
Em-----A---------------Em Never certain of the end
-------------------------A---------------------Em But I didn't know the nothing that I must do
------------A Pay my dues
-------G----------------A--------------------Em In a garden's secret light I'll take your hand
--------------G------------------A----------------Em Treat me wrong or treat me right, I'll understand
-------------F#m Well if you look through the eyes of the people above
--------Bm They'll show you what I mean
---------F#m----C# I went down
--------F#m I went down
[chord pattern repeats]
I went down To catch that train I went down All in the rain Well if it's time to believe then I wanna be gone And I'll walk that little way I went down I went down
I went down The shape I'm in To my home town But not to begin Well if you fall through the world then you're never again Gonna break down that old wall I went down I went down
--------F#m-A-----B I went down down down
--------------------------A Do what you're thinkin bout
F#m--A-----B Down down down
------------------A You wanna slow down
F#m--A-----B Down down down
------------------------C# You're gonna fall behind
[instrumental - same chords as verse - repeat twice]
[repeat 1st verse]
[find some way of ending it]

I LOVE this song. And being fair about the delay, I have only been "playing" the guitar for about a week, so it's a steep curve. Will hopefully get my ahem 'version' recorded in the next couple of days, family permitting.
