After Allen chords
Swap ↔ or rotate ↻ the device
This is my first attempt to post a song so (and I hope this goes well) I thought it
appropriate to be one of the first songs I figured out waaaay back when I first started
playing. I found the song the other day on the internet and listening to it again...wow...
what a great song. Still holds up to todays stuff.
Anyway, this song is pretty straight forward, it repeats an 8 chord progression with a small
variation for the chorus. The chords are simple but I will show one that I play in case I'm labeling
wrong it is the Bm/A
Bm/A E--2--
B--3--
G--4--
D--4--
A--0--
E--X--
The **Bm/A** variation on the second verse is the cool fill (just a hammer on base note) that the
guitar plays, tabbed as follows:
E|--------------------2---
B|-----------------3------
G|--------------4---------
D|-----------4------------
A|--0h2--0----------------
E|------------------------
... her name I can't recall...
I hope you like it and I welcome any feedback. Enjoy,
Artist: Ed Bruce
Intro:
A--- A---
Verse:
A Amaj7
There's a parking lot where the corner cafe stood,
G F#
one of the places we first fell in love.
Bm Bm/A
They've built a waterslide, on the bluff by the riverside,
G E
where we first fumbled our way into love.
A Amaj7
And you hardly ever hear it, it's a golden oldie now,
G F#
but you and I danced to it at least a thousand miles.
Bm **Bm/A**
We ran with Bobby and his wife, her name I can't recall,
G E A
but we had lots of fun and love, hardly anything else at aa...
A Amaj7
aaaaaaaaaaallllll the things we knew,
G F#
are turning brown and grey with age or gone.
Bm Bm/A
It's funny how the years slip by, I can't help but wonder why;
G E
sometimes it doesn't seem that long.
Chorus:
A Amaj7
After all these years, after all the
G F#
joy and tears, after all is said and done.
Bm G
After most of everything we knew is gone...
E
..I still love you.
Solo: (by the way, I'm tabbing this too and hope to have it up soon.)
