Subject: Correction to "Bad Reputation" Freedy Johnston

Someone pointed out a lyric mistake in my original post.  I posted a
correction, but didn't see the correction make it to any of the mirrors.  So
I'm dropping this note.  I've also added chords to the rest of the lyrics to
make it easier for some to follow.  Enjoy.

Em
Don't try to be an inspiration.

You know about the best I'll ever be
Em               D    C
I see it in your eyes.

Em
I know I got a bad reputation
G
and it isn't just talk, talk, talk.

Suddenly I'm in another place.
D7                     G       C        D7
Lookin' in the crowd I think I see your face.

We met in a lonely summer,

A      E         B7  E
two survivors of paradise.

A       E        B7      E
She ran off when I first touched her.

Now she wakes me every night.

(3rd verse)
A      E         B7     E
In the middle of Evie's garden,

A    E      B7   E
in a simple iron chair.

A      E           B7     E
Wind's blowin' and she is singin'.

OK, now I'm listnin'.

E                   B            (fades out...)
You're not mine and he's not here.

        This Perfect World - Freedy Johnston
        From "This Perfect World"
                - tabbed by Norman Joseph (joseph@ctc.com)
                (no warrantees expressed or implied - have fun)

You might want to try a capo on the 4th fret and use the following
shapes instead of barring:

     open Am for C#m
     open Dm for F#m
     open E7 for G#7
     open C  for E
	  F  for A
          G  for B

This seems to sound closest to the record.  Or, you could practice
your barring technique :-). Or you could just find the chords without
a capo, but the sound won't be -quite- right, especially for the intro
arpeggios.  But, hey, fool around: you're here to learn!

Try these chords (who knows what their -real- names are?):

        Cold Again - Freedy Johnston

Sorry, I didn't have the patience to figure out the chords he's using
in this song, so I'll post the unadorned lyrics instead, and hope that
someone a little more talented can match up the right chords.


(intro)

(1st verse)
When I woke up, I was already evicted.
And when you say lie, do you think I believe anything?

(chorus)
Cold again, cold again, walkin' over Brooklyn Bridge.
Cold again, cold again, hey Miss Liberty where have you been?

(2nd verse)
When you walked up, I was lookin' at the wrong ___.
And now I'm locked out, I will be back in familiar spots.

(chorus)
Cold again, cold again, back alone before the end.
Cold again, cold again, do you really think I'd turn you in?
Cold again, cold again, walkin' over Brooklyn Bridge.
Cold again, cold again, hey Miss Liberty where have you been?

The "C+" chord below (I don't know what the proper name is) is an open C
chord with G on the top and an added A.  This is how I finger it:

	    C+
	X===X======
	| | | | 1 |
	+-+-+-+-+-+
	| | | 2 | |
	+-+-+-+-+-+
	| 3 | | | 4
	+-+-+-+-+-+

I dunno, sounds pretty close to me.  Corrections always welcome.

As best I can tell, this tune is really played a half step lower than

 mmm -- .


(2nd verse)
G      D          A      D
Of the flowers in Evie's garden

G         D        A      D
one would never go out of bloom.

G       D      A        D
Planted over a well, forgotten.

G      D      A      D
Opened by the moon.


(chorus)
Bm    A        G       F#m   Em       D       A
Bring back the rain we'll go walkin'  Mmm mmm mmm.

Bm    A        G    F#m      Em    D       A
Bring back the wind like you do.   Mmm mmm mmm.

Bm    A        G       F#m    Em       D       A
Bring back the rain to Evie's garden.  Mmm mmm mmm.

Bm  A      G    F#m     Em      D      A7
I'm at the gate looking through.


(3rd verse)
G      D         A      D
In the middle of Evie's garden

G     D              A     D
was a rock she could never move.

G      D           A           D
Nearly buried in a night bloom angle.

G        D         A        D
Pale and smooth as skin.
