Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
(you'll figure out what I mean if you play along with it..the tricky part
is that there are notes being played over the top of the chord changes,
where the little D is stuck in-between the G and the C). The chorus is
just G, C, and D also (you can figure it out).

The main driving riff is just G-D-C-G, each (I guess) one measure:
The 3 notes in the verses are the 5,4,3 strings held in a G chord:
G|-------0-|
D|----0----|
A|-2-------|
E|---------|
(play twice each line of the verses)
The bridge is just the same riff, changing keys, so it becomes:
"How Do You Tell Someone" by Cowboy Mouth
from the MCA album "Are You With Me?"
previously from the Monkey Hill album "It Means Escape"
Written/sung by Fred LeBlanc
This song is really very simple, and only uses G, C, D, and Em. However,
they use a cheating C (C9?) and put the 3rd finger on the 2nd string, not
the first, for the G.
= 320030
=032030
=000232
=022000
Actually, it sounds fine if you leave the same third finger planted for
the Em, so it's 022030...this way, the 3rd finger stays planted the whole
song.
Tina says "don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
we've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become"
There's a little girl who's crying over here.
Note that lines 2 and 4 are different from 1 & 3, which are the same.
Each verse is the same.
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
(repeat this pattern for all three pre-chorus lines)
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Fighting makes me tired
(repeat pattern for all four lines)
"God Makes The Rain" by Cowboy Mouth

Written/sung by Fred LeBlanc
Use the same G as above(G9?)
=320030

=224432
=244222
I should've known there'd be danger when I saw your face in the crowd
Now I'm trying to work past my anger, I should know better by now
(Repeat this pattern for next two lines of verse)
(All verses have this same chord pattern)
I've known your sorrow, but everybody's tasted pain
I've known your sorrow, since God made the rain
I see tomorrow when everybody tries again
I see tomorrow when God makes the rain God makes the rain
I used to hold my fury, keep it bottled tight
wrestle with the consequences each and every night
But if I put my faith in someone who was only trying to bring me down
I wouldn't stand where I am standing now
The fade out at the end is just DGDGDGDGDG.....
"Take It Out On Me" by Cowboy Mouth
>From the MCA album "Are You With Me?"
Written/sung by Fred LeBlanc
(also from LeBlanc solo album "Dammit")
Simple! Three chords:
=133211
=x35553
=x13331
(FF C BbBbBb C FFF C BbBbBb C) riff played over
and in-between verses, in intro and outro
I'll be waitin when the storm is over
I'll be waitin when the fever is high
Share your anger, and swear that you'll never
let each chord ring):
Take it out on me
Let me see you smile
Let me hear you scream
For a little while, don't
Take it out on me, cuz there's
Nobody else around

Well I stare at the hole in my hands
And I watch you slip away
And I feel if I'd only done better then maybe I could
make you stay
(all verses same chord progression:
-E)
Well I could, but I don't
And I should but I won't
(n.

It's laughable It's Laughable It's laughable
(later choruses add another
at end)
Having to tell someone goodbye
Having to find a place to hide
When all you feel these days
is empty inside

Written/sung by Fred LeBlanc
=02210x

The love of my life is a shady lady
Tearin' me up just to bring me down
she used to be calm but now she's crazy
I don't mind
Tearin' me down like a jungle monkey
Cuttin' me up like a jungle cat
she used to be fine but now she's funky
I don't mind
(n.
.) DDD
She's not the love of my life anymore
The love of my life takes my lunch to breakfast
nary a thought that a man might starve
she used to smoke dope but now she's X-ing
I don't mind
(repeat the DGA/DGA/DGA/EGA for the four lines of each verse)
I hurt, you walk
There ain't no looking for an answer when the
question's come and gone
I'll stay, you'll go
There ain't no hopin' for tomorrow so I'll
pack up all my sorrow and find some hope that I can borrow
I'm just tryin to find my sanity and soul

The main RIFF used throughout the song is:
The timing is difficult to show on this, but if you listen to the intro
you can figure it out. Basically play a few D's, then C#'s, then almost
repeat the pattern but quickly come back for a Dinstead of the last C#.
The little filler notes (FILL) are just a little "tickling" of the first
two strings (e and B) held at the 8th fret (just mash down your third
finger which should be on the 8th fret from playing the Danyway).
FILL
Well my eyelids said four-thirty
FILL
and the radio clock said six

And it scared me almost half to death
I wanted to hide I wanted to run away from her
