Matchbox

written by Ike Turner
performed by Jonny Lang
from the album Lie to me


Chords: These chords go under the whole song and are played in
	the following rhytem:
				  v   v   v   v
				1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

	The 'v' means an upstroke. The order is the same as at
 	the riffs. You can either use 'open' or	the barré-version.



      D   D(5.)  G   G(3.) A7  A7(5.) 
E-------2---5-----3---3-----3---5------|
B-------3---7-----3---3-----2---7------|
G-------2---7-----0---4-----2---6------|
D-------0---7-----0---5-----2---7------|
A-----------5-----2---5-----0---7------|
E-----------------3---3---------5------|



Riffs: Actually this are not riffs. It's the bass walk. Under every 
       line you find the lyrics for the first verse.

Licks: Licks are small parts of a solo played by the lead guitar.
       I didn't tab the other licks, just play what your
       fingers want to do.

Lyrics:


(intro)                                    >   12 bars

Yeah I'm tired of sighing                  
tired of worrying you too                   
but I made up my mind baby                    12 bars
what I'm gonna do                            /
I got my clothes in a matchbox              /
I'm gonna forget about you                 /
 
But I tried to tell you many times (lick 1)
but I never could do it (lick 2)            
you believe me baby (lick 3)                  12 bars
this time I'm through                        /
I got my clothes in a matchbox              /
I'm gonna forget about you                 /
 
(1st solo)                                 >   36 bars
 
Now when things get harder (lick 4)                 
yeah and rough on you                       
don't try to get me back now baby (lick 5)    12 bars
'cause baby I'm through (lick 6)             /
I got my clothes in a matchbox              /
gonna forget about you.                    /

(2nd solo)                                 >   24 bars
