Members Only Lyrics
by Sheryl Crow
Rob's notes: Where the "C*" appears with the asterisk it's just a passing note listen to the record.
It's in 4/4 time, no capo, although the recording speed has been altered and its slightly off concert pitch.
David's notes: Lower all strings by half a tone. Chords between() mean they continue from previous verse.
Chords used:
Opening: G acoustic riff (8 times w/ lead guitar coming in)
G acoustic riff (4 times w/ big drum kick added)
(Changes rythm, same beat, with cool lead guitar signature riff)
Verse 1:
Uncle larry's hooked on ice again
He seems to be stuck in the 80's
He wears his member's only jacket
Cause he thinks it turns on all the ladies
Chorus:
And all the white folks shake their asses
Looking for the two and four
I'll have mine in martini glasses
Cause i can't take it anymore
(cool lead riff)
Verse 2:
These are the days of empty kitchens
The rise and fall of MAry Ellen's hairdo
I think she's found a new religion
Studying the Kabalah in her J. Crew
Chourus
And all the rich kids shake their asses
Looking for the two and four
Well I'll have mine with blackstrap molasses
Cause I can't taste it anymore
No I can't taste it anymore
Break:
(cool lead riff)
(solo over same chords as first verse segment)
Verse 3:
My friend Greg says it's all good
As the eastern seaboard's blown away
Now everything is going half-price
So look at all the money we saved
And all the politicians shake their asses
Looking for the backdoor
I'll just be hanging out with the lasses
Cause they don't like the boys no more
No and I can't take it anymoe
(cool lead riff)
(end cold on G)
