any questions? shanepan54@gmail.com
Intro:
Bmaj7 B7 | Esusmaj9(omit 5) Emaj9 (x4)
Some summers in the evening
B Gb/Db B/D# E | E (Held over from last bar) (add some maj 7 and 9 for color)
after six or so
I walk on down the hill
and maybe buy a beer
I think about my friends
B Gb/Db B/D# E | E (Held over from last bar) (add some maj 7 and 9 for color)
sometimes I wish they lived out here
Dbm7 Gb | B (change between a B and E/B off and on)
but they wouldn't dig this town
no they wouldn't dig this town
Try not to think about it
Alice Childress
Try not to think about it
anymore
Try not to think about it
Alice Childress
(No lyrics)
anymore, no not anymore no
Intro again:
Bmaj7 B7 | Esus9(omit 5) Emaj9 (x2)
Alice the world is full of ugly things that
B Gb/Db B/D# E | E (Held over from last bar) (add some maj 7 and 9 for color)
you can't change
pretend it's not that way
that's my idea of faith
you can blow it off and say there's
B Gb/Db B/D# E | E (Held over from last bar) (add some maj 7 and 9 for color)
good in nearly everyone
Dbm7 Gb | B (change between a B and E/B off and on)
just give them all a chance
give them all a chance
Try not to think about it
Alice Childress
Try not to think about it
anymore
Try not to think about it
Alice Childress
(No lyrics)
anymore, no not anymore
Bridge: I'll try to write down the notes of the solo.
Keep in mind I'm not writing repeated notes twice or more.
It's the same D/E chord throughout just keep comping it through out.
Chords: D/E
No it didn't work out
no it didn't work out
the way we thought it would
no it didn't work out
an arranged marriage
is not so good
Interlude: Same chords as the verse
B Gb/Db B/D# E | E (Held over from last bar) (add some maj 7 and 9 for color)
B Gb/Db B/D# E | E (Held over from last bar) (add some maj 7 and 9 for color)
Thank God it's you
B Gb/Db B/D# E | E (Held over from last bar) (add some maj 7 and 9 for color)
you know your timing is impeccable
I'm not fooling you
I don't know what to do
some dude just knocked me cold
B Gb/Db B/D# E | E (Held over from last bar) (add some maj 7 and 9 for color)
and left me on the sidewalk
Dbm7 Gb | B (change between a B and E/B off and on)
took everything I had
everything I had
Try not to think about it
Alice Childress
Try not to think about it
anymore
Try not to think about it
Alice Childress
(No lyrics)
anymore, no not anymore no
anymore, no not anymore
anymore, no not anymore
Outro: Same as intro
