Great American Sharpshooter


Great American Sharpshooter Less Than Jake Ok, here's a great song from LTJ's fifth album Hello Rockview (an incredibly awesome by the way.) Some of the syncopated rhythms the guitarist uses, like in the second verse, instance, are a little tricky especially to sing and play at the same time- but it fine played straight, too. (solo gtr.) Ab5 C#5 Ab5 Eb5 So you think of what it could've been Ab5 C#5 Ab5 (band enters) Eb5 When time is all you've lost it keeps burning through your head Ab5 C#5 Ab5 Eb5 (And now) you fall asleep standing but lie awake in bed Ab5 C#5 Ab5 Eb5 (Watch the) clock drag on and think about what you should've said [Pre-Chorus] C#5 F#5 Ab5 C#5 Oh- It's for the better F#5 Ab5 Your better half is gone. Eb5 (////) F#5 (////) It's OK - You didn't need her anyway. [Chorus] Ab5 C#5 Eb5 C#5 And I don't want to hear you say, “Nobody can take her place,” Ab5 C#5 Bb5 C#5 Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh Ab5 C#5 Eb5 C#5 And what more can I say? You don't need her anyway. Ab5 C#5 Bb5 C#5 Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh Ab5 C#5 Ab5 Eb5 So you think of how it should've been Ab5 C#5 Ab5 Eb5 And "It's just over" Keeps going through your head. Ab5 C#5 Ab5 Eb5 (You're) hearing all those words time & time again Ab5 C#5 Ab5 Eb5 (Watch the) phone all night and think about what you should've said [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Breakdown] (solo gtr.) Ab5 C#5 Eb5 C#5 Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh Ab5 C#5 Bb5 C#5 Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh Ab5 C#5 Eb5 C#5 Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh Ab5 C#5 Bb5 C#5 Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh [Chorus] [Ending] Eb5 C#5 Ab5 Well there it is. This is a pretty good song to cover if you want an awesome LTJ song don't have any horns in your band, because there aren't any horns in the recording (as far I can tell anyway.) Have Fun, Jon
