Even the Odd
Trash Can Sinatras

Well, this is an easy song, so I took the time to go through and do it 
thoroughly with all the little background solos that make up most of the 
song.  So, here it is:::

Riff part... 1 
This is the main little doodle that really isn't too hard

(on high e string)
E  --5p4--4--4---5-------5p4--4--4--5  and repeat.  do it with the song, 

Riff part... 2
This is in the background, hard to hear, but makes the song sound really 
full.  Again, all on high e string

E  --5-5---4-4---2-2---0-0--------------   repeat x4

Riff part... 3
This is the kind of solo riff

E  --9--10--12--9--7--9--10--9--|--9---9p7--9p7--9----9---9p7--9p7---9
  |-----------------------------|
	during this part, all 
	notes are played twice
then back to begining, if necessary


Riff part... 4
This is played during the "heavy" part

E ----------------------------------------------------0-0-0-
B ---5--3--0--3--1--0--1--3--5--3--0--3--1--0--1--3--5-4-2-0
	again, all notes played twice, except this last part

And, here's the chords and where the riffs should be played

Intro:  A	Amaj7		D	E  (once, then twice more with
							riffs1 and 2)
 
A	D	A	D	A	D	A	D
Even the odd one out is in with a shout.

A		       Amaj7	
Weather the term and weather the storm

      D		            E
the clumsy climb and the elegant fall, oh

A	D	A	D        A	  D	A	D
Even the odd one out is in with a shout.

Riffs 1 and 2
     A		Amaj7	    D	 	E
That may be the story, that may be the lie

	 A			 Amaj7		   D	    E
But with great ease and with the pole greased it's down you slide

Riff3 x2
A	Amaj7	D	E

Must you protest til you're blue in the face

A	D	A	D	A	D
Even the odd one, even the odd one.....

A	D	
Or blue in the blood

Riffs 1 and 2
    A		     Amaj7	    D	    E
An ugly greed is the sole need on a fragile high

	A		      Amaj7	   	D   E
Well I can't breathe and just can't seem to acclimatise

(*funky part*...I think this is close to right.....)

Riff4
D	C	AA	D	C	E......

A	Amaj7	D	E (repeat til ending part)

ohh, that song, coming back to me now,

I fell to the ground and slowly came round and you stood over me.

Riff 1					somewhere here add riff 2
And you told me it never would be......etc

I'm out of my depth, I've come up for air

Riff 3
Show me how to become the life and soul of something, anything

Show me the memories of when I was young,
				       E	     D	    A
I didn't climb any trees then, I'm not climbing them now.

ending: A	D	A


That's it...it'll at least get you in the right direction.  Listen to the 
song to understand the riffs and where they come into and exit the song.
