Someone To Call My Lover

Janet Jackson

Text File

This tab was created because other tabs only contained the melody, but there was no rhythm guitar.
This is a great song by Janet Jackson. I would first give props to whoever figured out the melody
but I never found a name attached to it. However, out of respect, I won't claim it as my own.

The rest I figured out, though; real simple riff.
The song is made for two guitars: lead (melody riff) & rhythm (other riffs)

Verse 1:                                 Pre-Chorus:
Back on the road again                   Maybe we'll meet at a bar
Feeling kinda lonely                     He'll drive a funky car
And looking for the right guy            Maybe we'll meet at a club
To be mine                               And fall so deeply in love
Friends say I'm crazy cause              He'll tell me I'm the one
Easily I fall in love                    And we'll have so much fun
You gotta do it different J              I'll be the girl of his dreams (maybe)
This time


Verse 2:                                 Chorus 1:
I spoil them when I'm in love            Alright baby come on
Given them what they dream of            dance my way i gotta
Sometimes it's not a good thing          get some one
But I'm blind                            to call my lover
I love hard with everything              Yeah baby come on
Giving my all                            Alright baby come in
More than they                           Pass my way
I'll take my friends' advice this time   I gotta get someone to call my lover
I'll do it differently                   Yeah baby come on
                                         I-YI-I-YI-I-YI...


Bridge:                                 Chorus 2:
My my                                    Alright maybe gonna find him today
Looking for a guy guy                    I gotta get someone to call my lover
I don't want him too shy                 Yeah baby come on
But he's gotta have the qualities        Alright baby come in
That I like in a man                     Pass my way
Strong, smart, affectionate              I gotta get someone to call my lover
He's gotta be all for me                 Yeah baby come on
And I'll be too                          I-YI-I-YI-I-YI...
You see happily
