Matchbox

written by Ike Turner
performed by Jonny Lang
from the album Lie to me


Chords: These chords go under the whole song and are played in
        the following rhytem:
                                  v   v   v   v
                                1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

        The 'v' means an upstroke. The order is the same as at
        the riffs. You can either use 'open' or the barré-version.



      D   D(5.)  G   G(3.) A7  A7(5.)
E-------2---5-----3---3-----3---5------|
B-------3---7-----3---3-----2---7------|
G-------2---7-----0---4-----2---6------|
D-------0---7-----0---5-----2---7------|
A-----------5-----2---5-----0---7------|
E-----------------3---3---------5------|



Riffs: Actually this are not riffs. It's the bass walk. Under every
       line you find the lyrics for the first verse.

Licks: Licks are small parts of a solo played by the lead guitar.
       I didn't tab the other licks, just play what your
       fingers want to do.

Lyrics:


(intro)                                    >   12 bars

Yeah I'm tired of sighing                  \
tired of worrying you too                   \
but I made up my mind baby                   \ 12 bars
what I'm gonna do                            /
I got my clothes in a matchbox              /
I'm gonna forget about you                 /

But I tried to tell you many times (lick 1)\
but I never could do it (lick 2)            \
you believe me baby (lick 3)                 \ 12 bars
this time I'm through                        /
I got my clothes in a matchbox              /
I'm gonna forget about you                 /

(1st solo)                                 >   36 bars

Now when things get harder (lick 4)        \
yeah and rough on you                       \
don't try to get me back now baby (lick 5)   \ 12 bars
'cause baby I'm through (lick 6)             /
I got my clothes in a matchbox              /
gonna forget about you.                    /

(2nd solo)                                 >   24 bars
