Subject: CRD:All I Wanna Do

"All I Wanna Do"--Sheryl Crow, Tuesday Night Music Club

Note:  All the chords are the typical first position chords.  The best way
to play the C7 and D7 in the chorus are as below.  Simply slide the C7
fingering up two frets for the D7.

           C7                    D7
       ----x----             ----x----|
       ----1----             ----3----|
       ----3----             ----5----|
       ----2----             ----4----|
       ----3----             ----5----|
       ----x----             ----x----|

Intro: funk groove sliding 4th to 5th frets barred over 5th and 6th strings.

Verse:

E-----------------------------------------------
All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die, says the
C/G-------------------Dsus2/A
man next to me out of nowhere

It's apropos of nothing, He says his name is William,
but I'm sure he's Bill or Billy, Mac or Buddy

He's plain ugly to me and I wonder if he's ever had
a day of fun in his whole life

We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday, in a
bar that faces a giant car wash

The good people of the world are washing theirs carson their lunch break
hosing and scrubbin as best they can in skirts in suits

Pre-chorus:

A------------------------------------Bb6--------
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store, too
A----------------------------------------------(leads into chorus)
Well they're nothing like Billy and me

Chorus:

(A)-------E7-----------------------C7---------------D7----
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
E7---------------------------------C7--------------------Bm7------------
All I wanna do is have some fun, until the some comes up on the Sta Monica Blvd

Verse:
(One line without lyrics)
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels from his bottles of Bud

He shreds them on the bar then he lights every match in an oversized pack
letting each one burn down to his

thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out
and he's watching the bottles of bud as they spin on the floor

Pre-chorus:

A happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads

Chorus:

All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up on the Sta Monica Blvd.

Verse: (guitar "solo")--very easy to figure out and I'll leave to you for
the sake of expediency in posting this crd. If you want it tabbed out,
just contact me.

Pre-chorus:

Otherwise the bar is ours, and the day and the night
And the car wash too, the matches and the Buds
And the clean and dirty cars, the sun and the moon

Chorus:

All I wanna do...

I will attempt to post this to Nevada as well.
