The Black Crowes Song Title: Smile TBC Original? Yes Written By: Chris and Rich Robinson Recording Session: Band, By Your Side Record: Band (released as "Lost Crowes") Live Debut: 04/13/2006 Shows: 25 times played live Notes: This song is from the The Band Sessions. An older more mellow version of the song appeared on the unreleased album The Band. Lyrics below are from the earlier version, lyrics in brackets are alternate lyrics from the By Your Side b-side. ------------------- The above information was taken from www.crowesbase.com Tuning: EADGBE (Standard) This tab is based off of the original Band recording of this song, not the By Your Side b-side. The only real difference between the two in terms of the chords is that the "A game nobody won" and "A song already sung" lyrics have B and E chords played over them on the Band version and A and D on the By Your Side b-side. The choruses to the Band version loosely follow the intro in terms of the picking pattern, and while there's just a little more going on during the choruses it's not significant enough to warrant re-tabbing the choruses note for note. The By Your Side b-side, on the other hand, is all over the place in terms of the picking in both the intro, choruses, and even verses, so the chords will have to suffice.
