One of the better songs on "The Last DJ." I don't have any of the soloing, but the bulk
the song is here. And the chord placements will match the timing with the lyrics, which
is always nice, I think.
A quick word on the four chord progression that is played right before and during the
bridge -- you can play it as open chords, but I like to play it like this:
e---3/5--5/7--7--5---|
B---5/7--7/8--8--7---|
G---5/7--7/9--9--7---|
D---5/7--7/9--9--7---|
A---3/5--5/7--7--5---|
E--------------------|
It just sounds more like the recording to me, especially with the slides. Also, you can
mess around by picking the verse chords a bit. The most frequent example of this in the song
sounds something like this:
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
e-------3-------2-------0-------0----|
B-------3-------3-------0-------1----|
G-------0-------2-------0-------0----|
D-------0-----0---------2-----2------|
A-----2---------------2-----3--------|
E---3-------2-------0----------------|
You can kind of make up your own stuff though, or just play the chords. It all sounds good.
Here's the full song.
[G] You never had a [D]chance, did you babe?[Em][C]
[G] So good [D]looking, so inse[Em]cure[C]
[G] And now you [D]say you can't re[Em]member[C]
[G] When the lines you [D]drew began to [Em]blur[C-D-G-D]
[D] And when all of this is [G]over[C-D-G-D]
[D] Should I lose you in the [G]smoke
I [C]want you to [Em]know
[C]You were the [D]one[C-D-G-D]
And may [C]my love [G]travel... with you [C]every[G]where
Baby, may [C]my love [G]travel... with you [Am]alw[G]ays
(mini solo backed by D)
[G] Maggie's still [D]tryin' to rope a tor[Em]nado[C]
[G] Joe's in the back[D]yard tryin' to keep th[Em]ings simple[C]
[G] And the lonely [D]DJ's diggin' a [Em]ditch[C]
[G] Tryin' to [D]keep the flames from the [Em]temple[C-D-G-D]
[D] Oh, and if perhaps I [G]lose you[C-D-G-D]
[D] In the smoke down the [G]road.
I [C]want you to [Em]know
[C]You were the [D]one.[C-D-G-D]
And may [C]my love [G]travel... with you [C]every[G]where
Yeah, may [C]my love [G]travel... with you [Am]alw[G]ays
(mini solo backed by D)
guitar solo)
[G] How about a [D]cheer for all those [Em]bad girls?[C]
[G] And all the [D]boys that play that rock and [Em]roll.[C]
[G] They love it[D] like you love [Em]Jesus.[C]
[G] It does the same [D]thing to their [Em]souls[C-D-G-D]
[D] And when all of this is [G]over[C-D-G-D]
[D] Should I lose you in the [G]smoke
I [C]want you to [Em]know
[C]You were the [D]one[C-D-G-D]
And may [C]my love [G]travel... with you [C]every[G]where
Yeah, may [C]my love [G]travel... with you [Am]alw[G]ays
Baby, may [C]my love [G]travel... with you [C]every[G]where
Yeah, may [C]my love [G]travel... with you [Am]alw[G]ays
[Am] [G] [Am] [G]
And fin. Enjoy. If you post this anywhere, give me credit.
