Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
  My  mama showed  me how to rock in the cradle
  But I learned how to roll along
  My papa said, son, gotta get some fun
  'Cause when your old it ain't too good on your own
  Been  so long since you heard my song
  Gonna pick up my guitar and play
  Felt so bad when I had to leave you
  But I knew that I'd be back some day
  So I'm comin' home
  To  give you more than you bargained for
  Comin' home
  No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
  Comin' home
  Gonna  rock and roll and give you my soul
  Comin' home
  I got over  the pain I'm comin' home again
  (Verse 2)
  Groovin' to American Bandstand
  B B onstage with Lucille
  The thrill is gone, but it won't be for long
  'Cause you know I like to play how you feel
  Now that we're back together
  Gonna shiver and shake all night
  I just gotta say the music I play
  Will sure 'nough make you feel alright
  (Verse 3)
  Though I learned how to rock in the cradle
  And rollin' came so easy to me
  From all the years I travelled the world
  Made it all so clear to see
  Been so long since you heard my song
  Gonna pick up my guitar and play
  Felt so bad when I had to leave you
  But I knew that I'd be back some day
  Comin' home
  To give you more than you bargined for
  Comin' home
  No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
  Comin' home
  Gonna rock and roll and give you my soul
  Comin' home
  I got over the pain I'm comin' home again
  Comin' home
  Shiver and shakin' anticpatin'
  Comin' home
  The thrill is gone but it won't be for long
 Lady Luck
 (Cook/Coverdale)
 From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.
 
  She was a juke-box  dancer
  A blue  eyed gypsy queen
  She always  had an answer
  For what she'd done  and where she'd been
  A feathercane  Lady Midnight
  For all  around to see
  She spoke  with words of wisdom
  And this  is what she said to  me
  Lady luck
  Come on give  me what I want
  Pull me up
  Lady luck
  If I see  you again
  I will call  you my friend
  (Verse 2)
  I have always been a sinner
  But then the lady came along
  She stole my heart and turned me 'round
  Till I didn't know right from wrong
  She whispered words of kindness
  I'd never ever heard before
  Golden words and silver tongue
  Till I really couldn't take no more
  Lady luck
  Come on give me what I want
  Pull me up
  Lady luck
  If I see you again
  I will call you my friend
  Come on shake me
 Gettin' Tighter
 (Bolin/Hughes)
 From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.
  When night  time comes
 And I'm ten thousand  miles away
 Just lose  yourself
 And watch the band  kick back and play
  Get  up, keep in line
 It's gettin' tighter all the time
  You say  you're feelin' fine
 It's gettin' tighter all the time
  (Verse 2)
  Get a load off your mind
  This place is right, it's hard to find
  The mood is set alright
  It's gonna be a long long night
  (Verse 3)
  You keep on spinnin' 'round
  You find it hard to touch the ground
  And time is all it takes
  You'll find it easy once you make
  Get  up, keep in line
 It's gettin' tighter all the time
 Gettin' tighter
 Gettin' tighter,  gettin' tighter
 Dealer
 (Bolin/Coverdale)
 From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.
 
  If you fool  around  with the dealer
 Remember soon you'll  have to pay
 He'll creep  behind  you  like  a hunter
 Just to steal  your soul  away
  (Verse 2)
  I don't want no one messing with my woman
  But just the same, I don't see nobody fooling with you
  If you're snowblind Madonna can hold you
  But if you don't understand
  There is nothing she can do for you
  Running from the  dealer
  Trying  to save your  soul
  I can feel the fire coming from inside you
  I know what it's like, 'cause I've been burned before
  Ain't no mercy In the hunger
  You're a fool to yourself
  'Cause your dealer keeps you begging for more
  Running from the  dealer
  Trying  to save your  soul
 In the beginning all you wanted
 Was the calm before the storm
 If the bluebird plays the eagle,  yeah
 He finds his song will turn to stone
 Dealer
 Repeat:
 I Need Love
 (Bolin/Coverdale)
 From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.

 I keep singing the same old song
 Like I did before
 When you left me, you left me in darkness
 I'd never known before
 I was restless, a fool for your time
 Waiting 'round for you to call
 But now I've found me an angel of mercy
 I don't feel bad at all
  Your body  was honey, I tasted a lot
  But let  me tell you babe, I need more than you got
  I want  someone to hold me and keep me satisfied
  Riff
  I need love
  (Verse 2)
  I've got nothing to do, ain't got nothing to say
  Just live your life the way you know
  When you moved on you took all the sweetness
  Was I a fool to let you go
  With the woman I forget for the moment
  All the times we knew before
  Though I'm still singing that same old love song
  Don't want you knocking on my door
  Your body was honey, I tasted a lot
  But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got
  I want someone to hold me and keep me satisfied
  I need love
 Drifter
 (Bolin/Coverdale)
 From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.
 
  I was born  a rambling man
  And I never  got the chance
  To settle down and get a hold  on love
  Takin' air and movin' around
  Is all  that I seem to be doin'
  And it is bringin'  me down
  (Verse 2)
  Drivin' on a highway going nowhere
  Desolation destination
  Guess I'll find it somewhere
  I know if there's trouble
  I ain't takin' the blame
  That's why I keep movin'
  So nobody knows my name
  Listen
 Born a loser  I'm beyond  the law
  Women  behind me, never  can find me
  They can never  get together
  What I've been here for
  'Cause I'm a drifter
 Born a loser  I'm beyond  the law
  Women  behind me, never  can find me
  What  a loser, maybe  I'll choose her
  Rollin'  on
  Rollin'  on, ain't wastin'  my time no more
 Love Child
 (Bolin/Coverdale)
 From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.

  You  can walk through fire
  Make the north wind blow
  Squeeze and tease me honey
  When you shake your body
  You move  my soul,  oh yeah
  (Verse 2)
  Let me be your lover
  Won't you let me be your child
  Take me through your universe
  You know that when you smile
  You drive me wild
  You got me shakin' all over

  Daydream in fairy tales
  All I know is I need more

 This Time Around
 (Hughes/Lord)
 From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.
 The world around us hangs  in doubt
 You face a crime that we'll hear  about
 To pay the cost would never be  the same
 Eternal lovers we're not  to blame
 There's no mistake there's no  refrain
 The same surroundings that stood
  Are here again  this time
  As I look  around  you can't  be found
  To lose  you I'd rather see
  The endless time  of space go  passing by
  This time  around
 This time  around
 So look around  we all  will be found
  In love
 To lose you I'd rather  see
  The endless  time of space  go passing by
  Fly by

 You Keep On Moving
 (Bolin)
 From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.
  You  keep on moving
  Far away,  far away
  You,  you keep on moving
  Far away,  far away
  Everyday  wheels are turning
  And the cry  still returning
  Dawn  will soon be breaking
  The day  has just begun
  You put  your arms around me
  Like a circle  'round the sun
  You dance  across the seasons
  To a place  that no one knows
  Where angels fear to tread
  Dawn will soon be breaking
  The day has just begun
  You put your arms around me
  Like a circle 'round the sun
  Dance across the seasons
  To a place that no one knows
  Where angels fear to tread
  You keep on moving
  Far away, far away
  Everyday wheels are turning
  And the cry still returning
 THANKS....RATE IT AND ENJOY! I HOPE THAT THESE TABS ARE VERY INTERESTING!!!!
