When You Smile

Concrete Blonde


Tom: C



Hi folks,
   Welcome to todays edition of
   "Conrete Blonde for the practicing musician"

"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
     A                  G              A         A
Its not ????? you can stop the years behind..

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)
           D5   A5   C5                G5
When you smile,   I don't know what to do
             D5         A5        C5        G5
Cos I could lose everything in a minute or two
        A5            C5          E5      G5
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:

    D5        A5
 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
