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).
 "Man on the Run" by Cowboy Mouth

 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
 >From the MCA album "Are You With Me?"
 Written/sung by Fred LeBlanc
 Use the same G as above(G9?)

 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

 Having  to tell someone goodbye
 Having  to find a place to hide
 When all you feel these days

 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.

 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
 
   RIFF
 and I was thinking up a reasonable excuse
   FILL
 I might have slept til yesterday
   FILL
 but in the shape I'm in
 
   RIFF
 what's twenty-four hours more or less to lose
 I've  burned up letters and I've burned  up souvenirs
 And  left no traces Lord that I was  ever here
 
   RIFF
 And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue
 I  saw a stranger smiling at me yesterday
 And  it scared me almost half to death
 I  wanted to hide I wanted to run away  from her
   RIFF
 Instead I closed my eyes and she wasn't there

a dime's a nickel and a nickel's none
I throw myself into the Sunday sun

(riff X2, with F
Summer Sunday when you went insane
You said you're going but I said I came
I'm throwin oranges in an apple cart
the ties that bind are tearin me apart

J[F#]enny sa[A]ys, tur[B]n off the radi[D]o

J[F#]enny sa[A]ys, tur[B]n off the ligh[C#]t

J[F#]enny sa[A]ys, tur[B]n off the vide[D]o

Y[A]ou beat yourself up, to b[C#]ring yourself down

L[F#]et it go, le[A]t it go, let [F#]it go    [A]

L[F#]et it go, le[A]t it go, let[F#] it go   [A]

 [C#]        [D]        [C#]
 [E]           (
 [F#] into riff)
When the world is coming down on me I let it go
