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

--------------

N.C.

I dreamed last night I was born a hundred.....

... 'cos I could lose everything in a minute or two, yeah

Ax4

Its not ????? you can stop the years behind..

The A and G above are played something like this:

 

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 you smile, I don't know what to do

Cos I could lose everything in a minute or two

And it seems like the end of the world

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

E5 022xxx

In the chorus Jim sometimes hits the open strings

in his trasnsitions from one chord to another,eg:

 

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

B|--------------------|

G|-7--7---------------|

D|-7--7------7--7-----|

A|-5--5------7--7-----|

E|---------0-5--5-----|

It doesnt look like much

but it adds a bit of oomph!

Happy playing everyone.

Bye for now
