Okay, here it is. This is the Shawn Colvin version.
Tuning - Open G (DGDGBD low to high).
Shawns version is capoed on the 5th fret, Willis is un-capoed.
You have to play around with a lot of hammerons to get the feel of this
one (especially between the G and G*).
Chords -
G X00000
G* X02010
D7 020210
F6/9 303010
Cadd2 X5X050
Gm/Bf X3X030
A7add4 X2X020
Afmaj7f5 X1X010
G G* D7
I wish I was a millionaire I'd play rock music and grow long hair
F6/9 G
I tell ys boys, I'd buy a new Rolls Royce
D7
Pretty people come to me, I'd give em all the third degree
F6/9 G
I'd give em Satin Sheets, I'd keep em off the streets
D7 F6/9
G
Doo Doo___Doo doo Doo_____doo doo.
(Chorus)
D7 G
Hallelujah Whats it to ya
D7 G
Praise the Lord and pass the mescaline
D7 G
Praise Jehovah He'll come over
D7
Csus2
Soon as you see me boogie-woogie cross the silver screen
(interlude)
Gm/Bf A7add4 Afmaj7f5
and so on.
The last chord is just a full harmonic on the 12th fret.
BTW, If anybody's got chords or TAB to Angel Eyes by Willis Alan Ramsey,
it would be appreciated.
Enjoy,
Keith
