Cmaj7 C Cmj C C G G G G G
** upstroke on Cmaj7, down on Cs; G timing is slightly off beat for bass line.
In transition to chorus, instead of
A--------2
E--3-2-3--
Try:
A---------
E--3-3-2-1
This walks nicely into the Em.
Chorus:
I wont cry if you walk bye........

Em F F F* Ami Ami C D Ami
Play this part twice during chorus. On second time throug chords, this
Sounds real nice if you play each succesive chord louder so that the
Tension builds
To a climax at Ami and then you pause and go back to Cmaj7-C verse.
This F* chord is not exact, sounds like C/D combo but I am not sure
What it is so I cheat by holding the F which works in the key.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
Nice transition that J plays; really impresses your friends!:
The transition includes some real simple eighth note picking
That goes from C to G and walk down to C/Cmaj7:
B---------------3/5-5-5-5-5-5-3-1-0-1-0
G---0-0------------------------------
D-------2-0--------------------------
G G
Complete transition to be played after chorus & before return to verse:
E---0--0--0--0--0--0----------------------------------
B---0--0--1--0--1--0------------3/5-5-5-5-5-3-1-0-1-0

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I wanna help you
But, I sense you're riding pretty low
Well I got that feeling
When your hair hits the ceiling
Something Babe
You oughta know
Chorus:
I won't cry if you walk by
But if we both kinda stumble
Maybe I'll say hi
Thats my best
I never try that much
'Cause I'm scared of feeling
That healing touch
You gotta get through
My maze and pass every test
'Cause i choosin' one love
To tatoo across my chest
Transition fill.
Verse 2:
Now the time has come
I ain't gonna fester no more /* Perhaps the best lines by J
Let the world be free
Of my disease
I never knew a rubber doll /* Perhaps the second best line by J?
Would be so hard to please
Chorus:
Now I'm reachin' out
One last burst before i retract
No one will know
Until I finally let go
Of the one thing
I ain't gonna ever get back
The last time I listend to D jrs first album, I noticed that some
Of the lyrics are different on the electric version.
