Subject: TAB: Concrete Blonde-When You Smile


Hi folks,
   Welcome to todays edition of
   "Conrete Blonde for the practicing musician"

This is my interpretation of "When You Smile" off the album
"Mexican Moon" so there are no guarantees but it sounds good
to me.


WHEN YOU SMILE
--------------

N.C.
I dreamed last night I was born a hundred.....
... 'cos I could lose everything in a minute or two, yeah

Ax4
     A (x02220@1)                G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)       AIts (x02220@1)not ????? you can stop the years behind..

The A and G above are played something like this:

  A (x02220@1)                     GE|----------------| (320003@1)    E|----------------|
B|----------------|     B|----------------|
G|----------------|     G|----------------|
D|-----7-5--------|     D|-------5--------|
A|---7------------|     A|---5------------|
E|-5--------------|     E|-3---3----------|

the A and G repeat over much of the song.

chorus:  (With Distortion)
	   D5 (xx023x@1) A5 (x022xx@1) C5 (x355xx@1)              G5When (355xxx@1)you smile,   I don't know what to do
	     D5 (xx023x@1)       A5 (x022xx@1)      C5 (x355xx@1)      G5Cos (355xxx@1)I could lose everything in a minute or two
	A5 (x022xx@1)          C5 (x355xx@1)        E5 (022xxx@1)    G5And (355xxx@1)it seems like the end of the world
	  A(as in the intro)
When you smile..

 for those that dont know, D5,A5,C5,etc are just
 power chords:   D5  x577xx
		 A5 (x022xx@1)577xxx
		 C5 (x355xx@1)x355xx
		 G5 (355xxx@1)355xxx
		 E5 (022xxx@1)022xxx

In the chorus Jim sometimes hits the open strings
in his trasnsitions from one chord to another,eg:

    D5 (xx023x@1)      A5 (x022xx@1)E|--------------------|
 B|--------------------|
 G|-7--7---------------|
 D|-7--7------7--7-----|
 A|-5--5------7--7-----|
 E|---------0-5--5-----|
            ^
            |
	It doesnt look like much
	but it adds abit (x02210@1)of oomph!

Happy playing everyone.
Bye for now
