G                                  D               G  
Here's a little something that I brought here for you
C                     G         D
It ain't much but it might just do
G                    D      G
Fairly serious could hardly say
     C                  D     G
That I couldn't give my heart away
C                   D     G
I couldn't give my heart away

G D G
C D G

G                     D       G
It's never enough to feel and say
C              G    D
Throw my promises away
G                   D       G
Several things that I could do
    C                  D        G
But I couldn't give my heart to you
C                   D       G
I couldn't give my heart to you

D                       C
Smokes on the table the matches are lost
        D                       C
There's room in the back of the bar
G                    D      G
Fairly serious could hardly say
C                       D     G
That I couldn't give my heart away
C                   D     G
I couldn't give my heart away

G                                   D          G  
Aw, it's not really serious but I should prove
C                        G           D
That I don't mean what I might not do
G                    D     G
Not that you wanted it anyway
C                       D       G
But I couldn't give my heart away
C                   D       G
I couldn't give my heart away...
C                   D       G
I couldn't give my heart away...

Winter Song (Cover of: The Head and the Heart)

Thought I'd record this song on a bright, beautiful, near-summer day =\ Trying out my new Tascam DR-05. This is ambient of me at my Korg SP250, factory speakers on the Korg. Mounted the Tascam on a mini tripod and set it on the Korg, hence the fingernail clicks throughout. Here's a link to the The Head and the Heart - Winter Song chords I used: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/the_head_and_the_heart/winter_song_ver3_crd.htm

Oh My Sweet Carolina

original chord sheet from http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/r/ryan_adams/oh_my_sweet_carolina_crd.htm


these are the true chords. the original chord sheet has a capo on 2, which makes this easier to play on guitar but trickier on other instruments that cannot be transposed as easily.


here is the original studio performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJY50iaYqJY

Verse 1
    D                         G       D
I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone
    D                            A
I passed up the station for the bus
      G                 D               Bm               G
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
          D          A               D
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust


Verse 2 (same chords):
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
Bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spendin' money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane


Chorus:
      Bm  G      D      Bm       G           A
Oh my swe-eet Carolina, what compels me to go
      Bm  G         D              Bm      A         G
Oh my swe-eet disposition, may you one day carry me home


(repeat intro)
Verse 3:
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I raced to sewer mains
Trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that some things never change


(repeat chorus)


(piano break)
Bm G D A x3
D D/C# Bm A G


Verse 4:
Up here in the city, it feels like things are closin' in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south


(repeat chorus)
         Bm     A        D G
May you one day carry me ho____me.
Bm     A        D G
Bm     A        D

Bm G D A
D D/C# Bm A G


end on D
