Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
G D/G B11 Cadd9 :Play accented bass notes of chords on guitar with
right hand muting across bridge.
Verse 1
Right hand muting integral throughout verses on most every chord.
D/G = this chord barely suggested in verses.
She grew up with the children of the stars
In the holl y wood hills and the boulevard
Her parents threw big parties everyone was there
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper, & Bob Seeger, & Sonny and Cher
Intro to verse 2:
(Hit it hard! Strong root and 5th of chords: let upper notes ring.)
Verse 2
(same as verse 1)
She feels safe now in this bar on fairfax
And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go she can't relax
And just before she hangs her head to cry,
I sing to her. . . . a lulla-by
Chorus
(Hit it hard! Strong root and 5th of chords:)
(Stay on )
(I sing) Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Rockabye, Rock a bye
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Tacit
Rockabye, Rock a bye
. Rock a bye
Intro to verse 3
(Softly)
Verse 3
(same as before)
She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her she's so pretty
But she'd be so much prettier if she smiled once in a while
Cause even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share on devils in this angel town
Chorus
(Stay on )
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Rockabye, Rock a bye
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Tacit
Rockabye, Rock a bye . Rock a bye
Guitar SOLO with power chord variation:
Verse4
(same as before w/ variation on 4th line)
I told her I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face
It seems like everybody's got a plan
It's kind of like Nashville with a tan
Repeated Chorus to Coda:
(much softer )
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
Rockabye, Rock a bye
Ev-ery----thing's gonna be all right
To Rockabye, Rock a bye . Ah, na, na
Repeat to coda....
a final word:
(you'll have to figure out the coda on your own....lol)
This is not %100 accurate but it's real close.
Have fun...
Hope you enjoy playing the song.
Shawn wrote us all a great one!
