JASON FALKNER: "GOOD NIGHT, SWEET NIGHT"

No la pidió Chiquito, pero bien podría haberlo hecho. Pasa que es un tipo medido. Esto está en su tono original, es complicada ma non troppo y, lo que es más importante, es una joya absoluta, como casi todo lo que Falkner hace. E7/G# es 4x0454, e'cir que se arrastra la posición del D/F# y se tapa la 5ª para que no suene; C9 es el clásico x32030, y el Eb7 se recomienda hacerlo con ceja en 1. Buenas noches, dulces noches.



|C9| Nobody |G| told me, guess I
|Bm| could've just |F#| asked how you |Em| were, how you |A4| were |A|
|C| It seems like |G| forever since you
|Bm| told me you |F#| dropped out of |Bbm| school
And came |F| back to |Bbm| the |F| west
where |Bbm| they |Cm| say life's |Eb7| the |F| best

......And I |D/F#| haven't heard a |E7/G#| thing about the |Bb| boy
......No,  I |D/F#| haven't heard a |E7/G#| thing about the |Bb| boy |G4|
......|G| Though I |D| try to under-|C9| stand this
......I |Bb| don't know what it |A4| is
......Cause I |D/F#| haven't heard a |E7/G#| thing about the |Bb| boy

|C9| I tried to re-|G| member you and
|Bm| me and how it |F#| was way back |Em| then, before |A| him |F#4 - F#|
|C| With morning |G| come the birds,
|Bm| with birds |F#| come the light
|Bbm| Au re-|F| voir, a-|Bbm| di |F|-os,
|Bbm| good |Cm| night, |Eb7| sweet |F| night

......And I |D/F#| haven't heard a |E7/G#| thing about the |Bb| boy
......No,  I |D/F#| haven't heard a |E7/G#| thing about the |Bb| boy |G4|
......|G| Though I |D| try to unders-|C9| tand you
......I |Bb| don't know who you |A4| are
......Cause I |D/F#| haven't heard a |E7/G#| thing about the |Bbmaj7| boy
......Aaaah |Gm| aaah |C|

............|D| Good night, |C9| sweet |Bb| night |A4|
............|D| Good night, |C9| sweet |Bb| night |A4| 
............|D| Good night, |C9| sweet |Bb| night |A4|
............|D| Good night, |C9| sweet |Bb| night |A4| - |D|

CRASH TEST DUMMIES: "HOW DOES A DUCK KNOW?"

Tono original respetado. Se lo dedicamos al amigo Julio (que hace rato no aparece), a quien alguna vez prometí ir subiendo todas las canciones del gran God Shuffled his Feet.



|F| How does a |C| duck know what direction |F| south is? |Bb|
|F| And how to tell his wife |C| from all the other |F| ducks? |Bb|

......|D| You can cut a chicken's |A| head off
......|D| but it will keep on |E| running and |D| twitching |D - A|

............|D| When everything seems |E| planned out
............|D| when everything seems |E| nicely planned out
............|D| well the human race |A| will come and smack your face |E|

|F| How come all my body parts |C| so nicely fit to-|F| gether? |Bb|
|F| All my organs doing |C| their jobs, no help from |F| me! |Bb|

......|D| A person pulls a spider's |A| leg out
......|D| To watch it keep on |E| moving and |D| twitching |D - A|

............|Bbmaj7| Satan |C| lives here: |F - Bb - F|
............on |F| grain and earth, |A| rain and air |Bb - E|

|F| How come I just smoke and smoke and |C| smoke
and curse every butt I |F| spit out? |Bb|
|F| All night long I grind my |C| teeth and I wake up when |F| I cough |Bb|

......|D| You can put me in and |A| iron lung
......|D| and I will keep on |E| breathing and |D| twitching |D - A| 

............|D| When everything seems |E| planned out
............|D| when everything seems |E| nicely planned out
............|D| well the human race |A| will come and smack your face |E|

RON SEXSMITH: "BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT"

A falta de otra cosa, seguimos con las que me obsesionan a mí. Después de todo soy el que hace el blog, viste, alguna coronita tengo que tener. Del nuevo disco del recontra-amigazo Sexsmith, mi favorita. Está bajada un semitono. Dm/B es x2323x.



Intro: |C - Dm7 - Am - F| x 2 - |C - Dm7 - Em - Am - G|

|C| Whistling over |F| trestles and |Dm/B| past the graveyard |C| sign
We |Cm| cast our wayward |Bb| line inside a |G| wishing well
We've just a |C| wish and an empty |F| vessel, a |Dm/B| hole to fill with |C| days
On a |Cm| road where children |Bb| stray, then pray there |G| is no hell
And as for heaven...
 
......|C| Well, if |Dm7| seeing, if |Am| seeing is be-|F| lieving 
......|C| I'll be-|Dm7| lieve it, be-|Am| lieve it when I |F| see it 
......|C| I'll be-|Dm7| lieve it when I |Em| see it with 
......my |Am| own two |G| eyes

|C| This ain't no random |F| shuffle, there's |Dm/B| reason in these |C| rhymes
A |Cm| season and a |Bb| time, in a climate of |G| fear and blood
In the |C| tavern two men did |F| scuffle, their |Dm/B| drunken battle |C| moaned
They |Cm| groaned like cattle |Bb| groan, no diamonds |G| here in the rough
And as for peace and... 

......|C| Love, if |Dm7| seeing, if |Am| seeing is be-|F| lieving 
......|C| I'll be-|Dm7| lieve it, be-|Am| lieve it when I |F| see it 
......|C| I'll be-|Dm7| lieve it when I |Em| see it with 
......my |Am| own two |G| eyes |G|

............|F| And when faced with a difficult decision 
............Would you |C| listen to your heart or mind 
............|F| We're bound to waste all our free will and ambition 
............|C| If we got no vision, and we |G| got no spine 

Instr: |C - Dm7 - Am - F| x 2 - |C - Dm7 - Em - Am - G|

And as for peace of... 

......|C| Mind, if |Dm7| seeing, if |Am| seeing is be-|F| lieving 
......|C| I'll be-|Dm7| lieve it, be-|Am| lieve it when I |F| see it 
......|C| I'll be-|Dm7| lieve it when I |Em| see it with 
......my |Am| own two |G| eyes 

......|C| Ooh, if |Dm7| seeing, if |Am| seeing is be-|F| lieving 
......|C| I'll be-|Dm7| lieve it, be-|Am| lieve it when I |F| see it 
......|C| I'll be-|Dm7| lieve it when I |Em| see it with my |Am| own two |G| eyes 
......See it with my own two |C| eyes |Dm7| - |Am - G - F|

JOHN GRANT: "SIGOURNEY WEAVER"

Después de mucho sacar para los demás, ahora me toca a mí. Una del amigazo Grant, recomendado a más no poder en mi otro blog musical. Esa estrofa dan ganas de tocarla y cantarla todo el día. Está bajada un semitono. Cdim es xx1212.



 Intro: |Em - Em - G - A - Am - Cdim - G - B7|

|Em| When I woke up today, the |G| air was very |A| strange
I
|Am| couldn't feel my |Cdim| skin and there was |G| evil in my |B7| bones
|Em| I tried to speak but found that I |G| didn't have a |A| voice
|Am| It was a |Cdim| prison like the one you would |G| find 
in The Twilight |B7| Zone

......|G| And I feel just like Sigourney |F| Wea-|C| ver
......|F| When she |C| had to kill those |D7| aliens
......|G| And one guy tried to get them |F| back to the |C| earth
......|F| And she |C| couldn't believe her |D7| ears

|Em| So I was taken or I |G| went towards what was |A| west
|Am| Where the ground was |Cdim| dead and struck out |G| at the giant |B7| sky
|Em| The sky was black and filled with |G| tiny silver |A| holes
And it was
|Am| there with the frightened |Cdim| voice that I be-|G| gan 
to cry out |B7| loud

......|G| I feel just like Winona |F| Ry-|C| der
......|F| In that |C| movie about |D7| vampires
......|G| And she couldn't get that |F| accent |C| right
......|F| Neither |C| could that other |D7| guy

Instr: |Em - Em - G - A - Am - Cdim - G - B7| x 2

......|G| And I feel just like I am on |F| Jupi-|C| ter
......|F| The one that |C| looks like rainbows |D7| sugar
......|G| But it doesn't lend it-|F| self to |C| life
......|F| And I |C| haven't finished |D7| yet |G|

SPINETTA: "LA LUZ DE LA MANZANA"

Bajada un tono con respecto al original. No se espanten por la nomenclatura, es menos difícil de lo que parece. Para ser de Spinetta, yo diría que es facilísima. Y no, no me la pidió nadie, fue de motu propio nomás; no soy muy spinéttico, pero siempre me gustó Tester de Violencia. En breve, La Bengala Perdida (aunque sea intocable).

Intro:  |Tab| - |Cmaj7 - C2/13-| x 4

|Cmaj7| Ver que vi-|C2/13-| vimos |Cmaj7| para ser fe-|C2/13-| lices,
|Amaj7| Afuera es un |A2/13-| viento, un |Amaj7| viento se-|A2/13-| quencer,
|Amaj7| Come las |A2/13-| almas, |Amaj7| come sin mo-|A2/13-| tivo.

Intro: |D - D4 - D2| x 2

|D| I'm a fool to be |A4/C#| kind to you
|Gmaj7/D| It's not what the |Am7| men in your life tend to |Em7| do
Must be so |A4| strange, finding some-|Em7| one,
who only ac-|C2| cepts you

|D| Rejection's a |A4/C#| lesson you've had
|Gmaj7/D| You're lost in the |Am7| anger you feel for your |Em7| dad
But, oh, how he |A4| loves you, there's no |Em7| doubt,
with all his high |C2| hopes for you.

......I could |D| push you away, I could |A4| say, I don't want you no |D| more
......I could |G| drive you right into the |D| floor
......And tell you you're |A4| useless
......Get used to it |G| lady |G - A4|

......But I'm |D| big in believing that |A4| baby, you're bigger than |D| that
......It's res-|G| pect for yourself that you |D| lack
......And suc-|A4| cess, it's a mood that you |G| choose
......With |Em| e-|A| very |D| step |D4|

|D| I want to grow |A4/C#| old with you
|Gmaj7/B| To hold your old |Am7| hand and look back on our |Em7| youth
I will be |A4| strong, times I might |Em7| not... I'm only |C2| human

......I could |D| push you away, I could |A4| say, I don't want you no |D| more
......I could |G| drive you right into the |D| floor
......And tell you you're |A4| useless
......Get used to it |G| lady |G - A4|

......But I'm |D| big in believing that |A4| baby, you're bigger than |D| that
......It's res-|G| pect for yourself that you |D| lack
......And suc-|A4| cess, it's a mood that you |G| choose
......With |Em| e-|A| very |D| step |D4|

So, be |D| free like a bumble bee, spread |A4/C#| wings like a bird
|Gmaj7/B| Squawk like a peacock and |Am7| let your voice be heard , it's o- |Em7| k
I have no |A4| lock, key or a |Em7| cage
You've got to |C2| want to stay

......I won't |D| push you away, I won't |A4| say, I don't want you no |D| more
......I won't |G| drive you right into the |D| floor
......But I'll tell you you're |A4| beautiful
......Get on with it |G| lady |G - A4|

......Cause I'm |D| big in believing that |A4| baby, you're bigger than |D| that
......It's res-|G| pect for yourself that you |D| lack
......And suc-|A4| cess, it's a mood that you |G| choose
......With |Em| e-|A| very |D| step 
......So |Em| take |A| a |D| step 
......It's just |Em| step |A| by |D| step
