In the verses the chords are heavily palm-muted and you just pick out some notes. I've made a tab to give you the general idea. It's not meant to be completely accurate, you should pick the notes kind of randomly. The C in the chorus might be a Cadd9. Try it and see what you think. The D in the chorus might also be that strange chord D* (xx0032) but I think the regular D sounds better. Try it and see what you think. P.S. I've just seen in a guitar magazine that the tuning for this song is alternate open G tuning or something like that. I think it goes GGDGBD but I don't really remember. However, I don't like retuning my guitar and I've already transcribed the song in standard tuning and it sounds good to me so I'll just leave it like it is. So here it is in standard tuning: HOW TO PLAY VERSE CHORDS: [this is not a 100% accurate] G D* G/B Cadd9 E|------3----3-----2-2-------------------0-------| B|------3----------3--3-------------3--3-3-3-----| h = hammer-on G|------0----------0----------------0--0---0-----| D|-------------0-0-0-----------------------------| A|------------------------2-2---2h3--------------| E|--3-3------------------------------------------| INTRO: ------ G D* G/B Cadd9 [play two times] VERSE 1: -------- G D* G/B Cadd9 She grew up with the children of the stars G D* G/B Cadd9 In the Hollywood hills and the Boulevard G D* G/B Cadd9 Her parents threw big parties, everyone was there G D* They hung out with folks like G/B Cadd9 G D* G/B Cadd9 Dennis Hopper and Bob Seeger and Sonny and Cher VERSE 2: [play like verse 1] -------- She feels safe now in this bar on Fairfax And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go and she can't relax and just before she hangs her head to cry I sing to her, a lullaby, I sing CHORUS: ------- G D C Everything's gonna be all right G D C rockabye, rockabye G D C Everything's gonna be all right A C rockabye, rockabye [stop] [start playing verse chords again] rockabye VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2] -------- She still lives with her mom outside the city Down that street about a half a mile And all her friends tell her, she's so pretty But she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while 'Cause even her smile looks like a frown She's seen her share of devils in this angel town CHORUS: [play like first chorus] ------- Everything's gonna be all right rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be all right rockabye, rockabye rockabye GUITAR-SOLO: ------------ I'm not gonna transcribe the solo.
