This is one of my favorite songs of Giving Up The Ghost, I don't know if yall have heard it, but if you have, enjoy!

[Capo 5th fret]
Intro: C F C F C C/B C/A C/G F G
C F
Big Joe Turner, Elmore James
C F
Street survivor sellin' walkin canes
C C/B C/A C/G F
Give your babies, wholly names for me

C F
I don't know, but I've been told
C F
You never grow up and you never get old
C C/B C/A C/G
You can watch the world, be embodied so
F G
All on your T.V

[Chorus]
F C
Sometimes it gets a little rough,
G
Like the wheels made of steal
Am
Gone an uphill mountain, better
F C
Stand tall if you're gonna stand at all
G F C
And if you're gonna fall, well you might as well fall

Build a house honey, make it home
Gonna make a place man where I can be alone
Don't the yard look pretty when it's over-grown
Standin' six feet tall

This ain't a ride, but it's a livin'
You've got to take-a just what you are givin, cause
Luck only matters with the cars and the women
And sometimes not at all

[Chorus]

Peepin' Tom said to, Maddam Rose
I've seen you twice already with-a out your clothes
What I suggest, honey, what I purpose, is that
You see me without mine

Tell John Henery, Cassius Clay
Swingin' Iron for a livin' is one hell of a way
But whatever you do, don't let your hammer stray
I believe we'll be just fine

Sometimes it gets a little rough,
Like the wheels made of steal
Gone an uphill mountain, better
Stand tall if you're gonna stand at all
And if you're gonna crawl, well you might as well crawl
F C
Oh you might as well crawl (repeat x2)

End on F

Ok, I had a lot more space between the chords and for some reasons they are way to close, anyone know how I can fix this?

try wrapping it in the

now they're to far away from eachother

can you pm me the file so I can play around with it?

Make sure when you type it out on word that you do not use tabs just the space bar to seperate your chords.

I did just use the space bar.



and yea phpbb i'll do that when I get home.

OK, only other thing to try is to use a different font. I've had the same problem before and had to edit using the preview window to get them to line up.

I just tried to upload it as an attachment and it said " The extension doc is not allowed.






Damn this thread is not going in the direction I had hoped for
