Subject: TAB: Concrete Blonde-When You Smile
Hi folks,
Welcome to todays edition of
"Conrete Blonde for the practicing musician"
This is my interpretation of "When You Smile" off the album
"Mexican Moon" so there are no guarantees but it sounds good
to me.
WHEN YOU SMILE
--------------
Ax4
N.C.
I dreamed last night I was born a hundred..... ... 'cos I could lose everything in a minute or two, yeahIts nAot ''''' you can stGop the years beAhind.. A
The A and G above are played something like this:
A G
E|----------------| E|----------------|
B|----------------| B|----------------|
G|----------------| G|----------------|
D|-----7-5--------| D|-------5--------|
A|---7------------| A|---5------------|
E|-5--------------| E|-3---3----------|
the A and G repeat over much of the song.
chorus: (With Distortion)
When D5you sA5mile,C5 I don't know whG5at to do
Cos I cD5ould lose eA5verything C5in a minutG5e or two
AnA5d it seems likC5e the end ofE5 the worG5ld
A(as in the intro)
When you smile..
for those that dont know, D5,A5,C5,etc are just
power chords: D5 x577xx
A5 577xxx
C5 x355xx
G5 355xxx

In the chorus Jim sometimes hits the open strings
in his trasnsitions from one chord to another,eg:

E|--------------------|

G|-7--7---------------|
D|-7--7------7--7-----|
A|-5--5------7--7-----|

It doesnt look like much
but it adds a bit of oomph!
Happy playing everyone.
Bye for now
