    Cmaj7 C Cmj C C G G G G G
     
  • ** upstroke on Cmaj7, down on Cs; G timing is slightly off beat for bass line.
     
    In transition to chorus, instead of
  • A--------2
    E--3-2-3--
    Try:
  • A---------
    E--3-3-2-1
    This walks nicely into the Em.
  •  
    Chorus:
    I wont cry if you walk bye........

    Em F F F* Ami Ami C D Ami
    Play this part twice during chorus. On second time throug chords, this
  • sounds real nice if you play each succesive chord louder so that the
    tension builds
    to a climax at Ami and then you pause and go back to Cmaj7-C verse.
  •  
    This F* chord is not exact, sounds like C/D combo but I am not sure
    what it is so I cheat by holding the F which works in the key.
  • Suggestions would be appreciated.
     
    Nice transition that J plays; really impresses your friends!:
  • The transition includes some real simple eighth note picking
    that goes from C to G and walk down to C/Cmaj7:
     
  • B---------------3/5-5-5-5-5-5-3-1-0-1-0
    G---0-0------------------------------
    D-------2-0--------------------------
  • G G
     
    Complete transition to be played after chorus & before return to verse:
  • E---0--0--0--0--0--0----------------------------------
    B---0--0--1--0--1--0------------3/5-5-5-5-5-3-1-0-1-0
    G---0--0--0--0--0--0-0-0------------------------------

    Lyrics:
     
  • Verse 1:
    I wanna help you
    But, I sense you're riding pretty low
  • Well I got that feeling
    when your hair hits the ceiling
    Something Babe
  • you oughta know
     
    Chorus:
  • I won't cry if you walk by
    But if we both kinda stumble
    Maybe I'll say hi
  • Thats my best
    I never try that much
    'Cause I'm scared of feeling
  • That healing touch
     
    you gotta get through
  • my maze and pass every test
    'Cause i choosin' one love
    to tatoo across my chest
  •  
    Transition fill.
    Verse 2:
  • Now the time has come
    I ain't gonna fester no more /* Perhaps the best lines by J
    Let the world be free
  • of my disease
    I never knew a rubber doll /* Perhaps the second best line by J?
    would be so hard to please
  •  
    Chorus:
    now I'm reachin' out
  • One last burst before i retract
    No one will know
    until I finally let go
  • Of the one thing
    I ain't gonna ever get back

  • PLAY TOO ..
