Învață să cânți ...

Lecția nr.9

Acum că cunoști aceste trei acorduri: G major, C major și D major să vedem dacă poți cânta o melodie. Tranziția între acorduri va fi mai greu la început, dar odată ce te obișnuiești cu poziția lor va fi floare la ureche. Pentru început, bănuiesc că ști că nu o să poți cânta o melodie perfect, din prima. În această lecție o să cânți câteva melodii și pe masură ce o să repeț va deveni tot mai ușor.

Mai jos sunt trei melodii simple în care se folosesc cele trei acorduri pe care le-ai învățat:

Leaving on a Jet Plane - cântată de John Denver
NOTE: când cânți acordul G și C, lovește corzile de patru ori iar cănd cânți acordul D, lovește corzile de opt ori.
LEAVING ON A JET PLANE
Words and Music by John Denver
       G     /     /     /   C    /   /   /
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
    G    /    /    /  C    /    /   /
I'm standing here outside your door
  G     /   /   /  C  /   /   /  D  ///////
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
        G     /   /       /    C  /   /   /
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
     G  /   /      /    C        /   /   /
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
  G  /   /   /  C  /    /   /   D  ///////
Already I'm so lonesome I could die


Chorus:
   G  /  /   /  C    /   /  /  
So kiss me and smile for me 
G    /   /    /     C    /   /   /
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G    /   /    /     C  /   /   /  D ///////
Hold me like you'll never let me go
           G / / /  C  /  /   /  
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
G  /    /     /  C    /    /    /  
 Don't know when I'll be back again
G  /  /  /  C    /   /   /  D ///////
        Oh, babe, I hate to go....

Verse 2:
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring

CHORUS

Verse 3:
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say

CHORUS

The Gambler - cântată de Kenny Rogers
NOTE: acestea nu sunt exact acordurile, dar sunt ok. Lovește corzile odată la fiecare acord și lasă-le să sune.
THE GAMBLER
words and music by Kenny Rogers
     G                          C               G
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
  C               G                C                 D
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
   G                               C             G
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
     C           G        D               G
'til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

         G                             C                G
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
    C                  G                 C                   D
and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
       G                               C                 G
And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
      C             G            D             G
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."

     G                           C                  G
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow. 
C                G             C              D
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
        G                                C                 G
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
                 C                    G             D                G
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

CHORUS:
           G                     C             G
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
C            G         C                D
know when to walk away and know when to run.
          G                            C              G
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
                 C          G        D                 G
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.


D                            C             G
Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
   C              G           C                   D
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
       G                         C              G
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
        C                 G              D           G
and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."

    G                               C                       G
And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
C               G             C            D
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
    G                             C                 G
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
    C            G                D                G
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

Brown Eyed Girl - cântată de Van Morrison
NOTE: există un singur acord pe care nu-l cunoști, dar este folosit scurt. Sari peste el acum. Încearcă să lovești corzile de patru ori la fiecare acord.
BROWN EYED GIRL
Words and music by Van Morrison
 
   G               C       G             D  
1.  Hey, where did we go   days when the rain came
2.  Whatever      happened to Tuesday and so slow

G              C         G               D     
Down in  the   hollow    playing    a   new game 
Going down the old mine with a transistor radio

G               C                 G              D         
Laughing and a running, hey hey   Skipping and a jumping
Standing in the sunlight laughing hiding 'hind a rainbow's wall

G              C            G           D
in the misty   morning fog, ah   with   our hearts a thumpin'
Slipping and a sliding     all along the waterfall

    C     D             G      Em
and you,  my brown eyed girl 
and you,  my brown eyed girl 

C      D           G     D
You, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
  
BRIDGE:
 
D
Do you remember when we used to sing
 
G         C           G              D
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da  Just like that
 
G         C           G              D         G
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da  la te da
 
VERSE 3:
So hard to find my way 
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
Makin' love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
