Great American Sharpshooter
Less Than Jake
Ok, here's a great song from LTJ's fifth album Hello Rockview (an incredibly awesome
by the way.) Some of the syncopated rhythms the guitarist uses, like in the second verse,
instance, are a little tricky especially to sing and play at the same time- but it
fine played straight, too.
(solo gtr.)
Ab5So you Db5think of Ab5what it could've Eb5been
Ab5 Db5 Ab5 (band enters) Eb5
When time is all you've lost it keeps burning through your head
(And now) you Ab5fall asleep Db5standing but Ab5lie awake in Eb5bed
(Watch the) Ab5clock drag Db5on and Ab5think about what you Eb5should've said
[Pre-Chorus]
Db5Oh- Gb5It'sAb5 for the Db5better
Gb5Your better Ab5half is gone.
Eb5 (////) Gb5 (////)
It's OK - You didn't need her anyway.
[Chorus]
And Ab5I don't want to Db5hear you say, "Eb5Nobody can Db5take her place,"
Ab5Woah oh Db5oh oh Bb5oh... Db5oh-oh-oh
And Ab5what more Db5can I say' Eb5You don't need her Db5anyway.
Ab5Woah oh Db5oh oh Bb5oh... Db5oh-oh-oh
Ab5So you Db5think of Ab5how it should've Eb5been
And &Ab5quot;It's Db5just over&quAb5ot; Keeps going thrEb5ough your head.
(You're) Ab5hearing all those Db5words Ab5time & tiEb5me again
(Watch the) Ab5phone all Db5night and Ab5think about what you Eb5should've said
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Breakdown] (solo gtr.)
Ab5Woah oh Db5oh oh Eb5oh... Db5oh-oh-oh
Ab5Woah oh Db5oh oh Bb5oh... Db5oh-oh-oh
Ab5Woah oh Db5oh oh Eb5oh... Db5oh-oh-oh
Ab5Woah oh Db5oh oh Bb5oh... Db5oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
[Ending] Eb5 Db5 Ab5
Well there it is. This is a pretty good song to cover if you want an awesome LTJ song
don't have any horns in your band, because there aren't any horns in the recording (as far
I can tell anyway.)
Have Fun,
Jon
