Chords
One of the better songs on "The Last DJ." I don't have any of the soloing, but the bulk of
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 D Em C You never had a chance, did you babe? G D Em C So good looking, so insecure G D Em C And now you say you can't remember G D Em C D Em D When the lines you drew began to blur D G C D Em D And when all of this is over D G Should I lose you in the smoke Am Em I want you to know C D C D Em D You were the one C G C G And may my love travel... with you everywhere C G Am G Baby, may my love travel... with you always
(mini solo backed by D)
G D Em C Maggie's still tryin' to rope a tornado G D Em C Joe's in the backyard tryin' to keep things simple G D Em C And the lonely DJ's diggin' a ditch G D Em C D Em D Tryin' to keep the flames from the temple D G C D Em D Oh, and if perhaps I lose you D G In the smoke down the road. Am Em I want you to know C D C D Em D You were the one. C G C G And may my love travel... with you everywhere C G Am G Yeah, may my love travel... with you always
(mini solo backed by D)
(guitar solo)
G D Em C How about a cheer for all those bad girls? G D Em C And all the boys that play that rock and roll. G D Em C They love it like you love Jesus. G D Em C D Em D It does the same thing to their souls D G C D Em D And when all of this is over D G Should I lose you in the smoke Am Em I want you to know C D C D Em D You were the one C G C G And may my love travel... with you everywhere C G Am G Yeah, may my love travel... with you always C G C G Baby, may my love travel... with you everywhere C G Am G Yeah, may my love travel... with you always
