(x2)

         C
You know just the other morning
      F                    C        F C
I was hanging around in my house
           C                           F
I had that new book with pictures of Madonna naked
      C                  F C
I was checkin' it out
G                          F
Just then a friend of mine came through the door
G                                F
Said she'd never pegged me for a scumbag before
G                                F
She said she didn't ever want to see me any more
      C                G
And I still don't know why

  (CHORUS:)
               C          F
I think I'm an alright guy

I think I'm an alright guy
  G                   G
I just want to live until I've got to die

I think I'm an alright guy

Now maybe I'm dirty

And maybe I smoke a little dope

Hey it ain't like I'm going on TV
                    C              F C
And tearing up pictures of the pope
  G                     F
I know I get wild and I know I get drunk
       G                           F
But it ain't like I got a bunch of bodies in my trunk
   G                         F
My old man used to call me a no-good punk
      C                G
And I still don't know why

These cops pulled me over outside a bar
     C
They turned on their lights
         F                    C  F C
And they ordered me out of my car
          G                                F
Man I was only kidding when I called 'em a couple of dicks
    G                                F
But still they made me do the stupid human tricks
        G                         F
Now I'm stuck in this jail with a bunch of dumb hicks
      C                G
And I still don't know why

Easy Money - Todd Snider
(1994 Margaritaville/MCA)

One of my favorite TS tunes. I think it a true statement about one of the
many ills inherent in our society. The song is basically three chords (G/C/D)
which works well for me and my limited arsenal of chords. I play the chords
by strumming the strings on the upswing and muffing each chord to give it
that 'grove' sound. A fun song to play and sing to which explains why Todd
seems to enjoy playing it live. (Like there's any song he doesn't seem to
enjoy playing!).

G
He tried to look like he had a little bit of money 
C
A grifter with a southern drawl
G
Well I could tell right away by the way he was runnin' 
D
That the boy was just a beggin' to crawl. 
G
At least a junkie knows what he needs
C
You get a man all strung out on green
G
He'll give up everything he's got
D	G
For just a one shot at havin' it all.


He took every last cent of his savings
On a trip to the local track
He had a tip from a friend, bet it all down to win On a horse a named heart attack.

Well now he ain't no fool boys, he didn't bet it all So everything was cool when that horse took a fall But then he turned around and blew the rest Trying to win it back


CHORUS:
C
He wanted easy money
G
It's sad but it's true
D
Everybody wants the most they can possibly get 
G
For the least they can possibly do

C
They want that easy money
G
I don't understand.
D
God they scheme and they plan
G
But they can't get their hands on no easy money. 



Now she'd been watching him from her table Not too soft but not too tough
Well she figured by the money he'd been throwing around That he was damn sure good-looking enough 

And so she worked her way over
She shot him a wink
He took his last five bucks
He bought her a drink
By the time they hit the Motel 6
They figured they was in love (love love love...) 


CHORUS:

She loved that easy money
It's sad but it's true
Everybody wants the most they can possible get For the least they can possibly do

They want that easy money
I don't understand.
Lord God they scheme and they plan
But they can't get their hands on that easy money. 


Tell it like it is, all right...(Solo)


It must have been about two weeks later
He got a call from a business friend
Who'd found a sure-fire steal of an investment deal And honey guess what? He's gonna let both of us in 

And so they took all their savings out of the bank And on the way home they stopped to gas up the tank She stepped in for some cigs
And she never saw the fucker again


CHORUS:

He got that easy money
It's sad but it's true
Everybody wants the most they can possible get A for the least they can possibly do

He thinks it's easy money
He don't understand.
And you scheme and you plan
You ain't got your hands on no easy money. You scheme and you plan
You ain't got your hands on no easy money.

     C            G     
Got a girl in the Georgia hills 
     F            C
Saves my money so I pay my bills 
     C            G
Broke a bottle, took my pills 
   F     G
Got me to sleep 

    C             G
She makes a thing out of me 
    F             C
Knows the world that I want to see 
    C             G
Heaven knows she needs to be  
  F   C     G   C
One promise I keep 

    C             G
Golden haired, halo-eyed 
    F             C
Walkin' like she ain't satisfied 
    C             G
Sayin' things that most girls hide 
    F             C
Sometimes she's rude 

    C             G
Two Bloody Mary's she's full of grace 
    F             C
Laughin' all over her pillow case 
    C             G
Man the girl can rock the place 
    F       C  G   C
When she's in the mood 

    G                 C  F  C  F
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey 
    G                 C 
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey 


She don't talk down to me 
She takes my temper patiently 
She listens to me constantly 
I'm always falling apart 

She don't like it when I'm not home 
I hate it when I got to leave her alone 
The girl was born with a jealous bone 
And a runaway heart 

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey 
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey 

[solo] 

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey 
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey 

Got a girl in the Georgia hills 
Saves my money so I pay my bills 
Broke a bottle, took my pills 
Got me to sleep 

She makes a thing out of me 
Knows the world that I want to see 
Heaven knows she needs to be 
One promise I keep

       I need a ride out to Horseshoe Lake 
               G                       D
       I wanna feel like it makes a difference 
               A                D
       What difference one man makes 

       They say that one man makes the money 
       One man makes the time 
       I need time to think this over 
       I've got to make up my own mind 
       ___ 

       Don't need a psychic 
       Don't need a shrink 
       I need time away from all of this 
       I need a drink

			I Spoke as a Child
			By:  Todd Snider

Guitar arrangement for recording of vocal w/ piano accompaniment.
When changing from G to Em, walk the base line down from the
G note (3rd fret low E or 1st string), to F# (2nd fret 1st string)
to open 1st string (E note)

G	      Bm    C	     G
Everyone has days like I'm having
C		G	      D
Holdin on to anything that I can
G	    Bm		C	    G
To keep myself from anything but laughing
C	         G	       D
Looking back as far as I can stand
C		D		G
Out my window winter is almost over
      Em	      C			G	D
I can almost see the sun behind these clouds
C		  D		 G	   Em
Lookin' back on where I was one year ago today
C		  D	      G
Laughing at the shape I'm in now.

Chorus:
D		       C	  G      	
When I was a child I spoke as a child
     C		     G		      D
But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
     C			  D	      G
Now growing up it ain't anything but all
	 Em		     C
This indecision with these debts and doubts
	    D  
And worries hanging over my head
     C	      D       G		 Em
When I was a child I spoke as a child
   C		 D		G
I wish I could remember what I said

I'd like to find that old time feelin'
Somewhere in between what I've become
Somewhere down the line it must have seemed appealing
So I suppose that it must work for some
But I wanna go back to going crazy
Believing every word that I was told
You know sometimes growing up I think I'm getting wiser
And then other times I think I'm getting old

Chorus:
When I was a child I spoke as a child
But all I heard was how I should get ahead
Now growing up it ain't anything but all this
Indecision with these debts and doubts and
Worries hangin' over my head
When I was a child I spoke as a child
I wish I could remember what I said

When I was a child I spoke as a child
God I wish I could remember what I said

That Was Me - Todd Snider
(1994 Margaritaville/MCA)

The verse is basically G's and C's with the occasional D.  Keep in mind 
that this is a really simplified version of the song.  I'll post a 
better version when I have time, but this should get you started.

G  320033
C  x32033

VERSE:

Remember back about five years ago
Drivin' down the highway
Saw a kid there by the road
Long blonde dirty hair
His thumb out in the air
That was me
That was me

Remember the kid that walked into your store
The one you told you were sorry
You weren't hiring anymore
So he walked out your door
His head hung toward the floor
That was me
That was me

CHORUS:

      D                    C              G
Well I'm the face you've seen a million times
      D          C              G                D
The one who never seems to fit in between those lines
     C             D
I'm every broken dream
        G             C
This world has left behind
          G           D             G
I'm the face you've seen a million times


Remember the kid you saw that night downtown
Singing on the sidewalk
Guitar case on the ground
He looked down on his luck
So you threw him a buck
That was me
That was me

Remember back about five years ago
Drivin' down the highway
Saw a kid there by the road
Long blonde dirty hair
His thumb out in the air
That was me
That was me
That was me

			This Land Is Our Land
			By:  Todd Snider

Opening acoustic guitar riff: ho=hammer-on; po=Pull-off; string is given as
letter (i.e. E, A, D, etc.); number is the fret. Let's see if I can do this.

|---Dmaj position----|-----Cmaj position-----|Dmaj==>and repeat
| hoG2 D hoG2 hoD3 G | G2 hoA3 hoD2 hopoD2 A3| G 

What you're realy doing is :
Hammering on a Dmaj position, changing to a Cmaj position, and doing the 
pulloffs from those positions. The third note from the end, I'm showing 
as a hammer-on-pull-off is just and open D string note with a quick finger 
down and up on the 2nd fret, and immediate return to Dmaj (open G string
is the first note in the chord).

When performing this tune on an acoustic guitar, you use the Dmaj position
part of the above riff, and then pick the top three strings (A,D,G), hammer-
on the 2nd fret D string of the Cmaj, then go to Gmaj and do the same hammer-
on on the 2nd fret A string of the Gmaj, as you sing the verse lines.

Dmaj
Freeway through a reservation,
Cmaj	       Gmaj
Make way for a brand new nation,
Dmaj
Big ideas, we got brand new plans,
Cmaj		Gmaj
Heaven knows we need this land,
Dmaj
We're gonna build big, high and wide 
Cmaj		     Gmaj
City streets through countrysides,
Dmaj
Chemicals, and pesticides.
Cmaj		 Gmaj C C C G 
This land is our land.

Hey, redman don't waste our time,
We're young and strong, we got hills to climb,
There's a lot of room but we need it all
For slave trade and shopping malls,
Gonna build big factories with paper plates and plastic trees
Styrofoam and antifreeze.
This land is our land.

Chorus:
G	     D		F  C  G
This land is our land,
This land is our land,
This land is our land,
This land is our land.

Well we came out of a ragin' sea,
To claim someplace whre we'd be free,
We got hopeful hearts, workin hands and
Heaven knows we need this land
Cause the world needs land fills, diet pills and papermills
We need country clubs and oil spills.
This land is our land.

Chorus:
This land is our land,
This land is our land,
This land is our land,
This land is our land.

Freeway through a reservation,
Make way for a brand new nation,
Big ideas, we got brand new plans,
Heaven knows we need this land for super bowls,
Subway rides, remote controls, and pesticides.
Gang related homicides.
This land is our land.

This land is our land,
This land is our land,
This land is our land,
Our land
Our land

This land is our land,
This land is our land.

                        You Think You Know Somebody
                              by Todd Snider

Intro:  Bm     Asus2 (x02200) GaddA (32023x) (the song is 6\8 or 3\4)
Chorus:
     Bm             GaddA
You think you know somebody.
     Bm        GaddA
You think they know you.
     Bm        GaddA
You think you know somebody.
     A
But man you never do.

     D
Jackie used to live three blocks away from me.
     D
We used to throw a baseball and climb his old oak tree.
     GaddA
We would smoke his daddy's cigarettes behind the picket fence.
     D                   A
We swore that  we would always be the best of friends.
     Bm                  F#m
We would sit on the curb and talk on summer nights,
     GaddA                    A
'Til Jackie's daddy called him, and he took off like a light.


Fridays were all the same our high school senior year.
We hung out by the river and drank Black Label beer.
We listened to the stories with all our old friends.
And sometimes took a toke or two down by the river bend.
I remember I promised Jackie I'd drive him home on Friday night.
He said, "Go on without me. Buddy, I'll be alright."

We went off to college to start our Freshman year.
I went to a school about an hour away from here.
But you know Jackie, He took off, went to college out of state.
He used to call me all the time and tell me it was great.
He said, "I'm coming home for Christmas.  I hope you'll do the same."
He said that he would come, but Jackie never came.

Chorus:

When Jackie got married, I was his best man.
He moved back to town.  We were neighbors again.
I met a woman.  I got married, too.
Our families got together every Sunday afternoon.
His boy and my boy they would talk on summer nights.
'Til Jackie called his boy home, and he took off like a light.

Last night I saw the flashing lights, and I quickly rushed outside.
A neighbor lady told me Jackie's youngest boy had died.
I was shocked to see the police had Jackie handcuffed in the car.
Until this morning's paper told me Jackie'd gone too far.
Now they say Jackie's not the only one to blame.
Battered children almost always grow up to do the same.

Chorus:

These lyrics are not perfect.  I don't have much patience when it comes to
transcribing lyrics.

Baby we were out behind the pool hall 
G                   C           G     
Somewhere in that gravel parking lot 
C                 D                G           Em
Back then when we hung out til everything was over

And no one cared if we came home or not 

G                       C                     G
Then again it could have been that night in Nashville 
G                       C                 G
When I came up and crashed out on your floor 
  C         D              G                     C
I can't remember where it was that we stopped talking 
           G             D         G
Well I can't take this silence anymore 

               C       D           G
It's hard enough to keep from shakin' 
             C              G                     D
It's hard enough without you keepin' things from me

I don't know why you tried to make things so confusing 
           G      D       G     C   D
Can't you see it's hard enough


We can't seem to find what we've been missin' 
I've looked everywhere we used to be 
I've walked up and down this highland strip a hundred times 
Wondering why you left this whole mess up to me 

It's hard enough to keep from shakin' 
It's hard enough without you keepin' things from me 
I don't know why you tried to make things so confusing 
Can't you see it's hard enough

[harmonica solo] 

It's hard enough to keep from shakin' 
It's hard enough without you keepin' things from me 
I don't know why you tried to make things so confusing 
Can't you see it's hard enough

It's hard enough to keep from shakin' 
It's hard enough without you keepin' things from me 
I don't know why you tried to make things so confusing 
Can't you see it's hard enough

It's hard enough
