Sweet Guy

Hello Music Lovers. This is my first entry into this guitar archive

so I thought I would put in one of my favourite tunes for the

accoustic guitar. This is a song by Paul Kelly, who is an Australian

solo artist that has been recognised as one of our greatest song

writers of all time. He is famous for his accoustic ballads like

this one which I will give you the chords for here.

Just a quick note. If you have a friend with a nice strat sitting

by, get him/her to play with you by slowly picking the chords while

you strum. That's how it sounds on the recording, and it's a pretty

cool sound. Ok I'll get on with it now.

Sweet Guy By Paul Kelly.

4/4 Time

Intro 8 bars

Am / / / Dm / / /

Am / / / Dm / / /

(Verse1. Same strumming pattern)

In the morning you wreck the bed. You bring me coffee black and

boiling.

Then we start up again. And the coffee goes cold

I wake up drinking from your lips. Kisses warm and tender

And I would give up the world. Just to see your smile

(Chorus)

One thing I would never understand

It's become my problem

And It's something right out of my hands

My hands are clean

(No Chord. Just sing it )

What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean.

4 bars Accoustic strum

Am / / / Dm / / /

( Verse 2. Same Chord Progression)

I went to town with a moody man. A handsome Doctor Jekyll

He was right by my side. Turning into Mr Hyde.

I ran for cover but I ran too slow. I was stitched by strangers.

And they shook their heads that someone could do the things you did.

( Chorus 2 Same as before)

......What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean.

(Instrumental Break)

This is just the accoustic playing the Am /// Dm/// F/// Am///

pattern once

( Bridge )

I must be mad I must be crazy

Every one keeps telling me so

Every day I seem it coming

Now Im facing the wall waiting for the blow

( Verse 3. No Accoustic chords for first two lines. Only the electric picking )

NC

In the morning you kiss my head. You say it was another.

NC

Now you're down on your knees begging me to forgive you please

I wake up aching from your touch, Every muscle tender

Then I look in your eyes the way you smile. And I'm hypnotised.

( Final Chorus)

same as before

( Outro )

Repeat and fade

Am / / / Dm / / /
