Also, Sheryl sent me the Palais DVD many years ago. It has the full concert, not just the 5 songs on the cd. It too is amazing. Does anyone have the ability to put this on a sharing site somehow? Can I rip a DVD onto my hard drive? Its a bootleg DVD, made from a recording off a TV broadcast, so it should have no encryption or anything..... im naive in this area... who can help?

And if anyone knows the chords, im a pretty good ukulele player, and I think I could do a mean cover of this.... (you should hear my gullible's travels)
The song is titled "I Should Have Stayed In Bed" on my bonus disc. The show has already been put up once at some torrent site (maybe still is) and that's how I got it.

Now about the chords... it's not a very complicated song so maybe you can just figure it out yourself by ear? The guitar doesn't really start playing chords until the end of the song so the easiest way is to go at it by listening to the bass notes. If I have some more time I might give it a try some day.

Better late than never... Here's what I have for the basic chords, corrections welcome.

Tone


I Should Have Stayed in Bed

G F#
I'm gonna stay in bed all day
G F#
I'm gonna stay in bed all day

G F#
Or it could turn to black
Bm A
I might get lucky anyway
G F#
I might never come back

D C
And it's too late for a wake up call
G
Too late for a wake up call

I'm gonna put it off today
I'm gonna put you off
Nothing I got to do today except for blow you off
My dreams are all just throwaways
My superstitions lack
I'm just unlucky anyway
All of my cats are black

D C
Don't let the sun pass you by
G C
Don't let it fall from the sky
D C
Don't let the sunshine pass you by
G F#
Don't let the tear fall from your eye

I could have stayed in bed all day
I could have stayed in bed all day
Nothing I got to do today
I might just rise and shine

Don't let the sun pass you by
Don't let it fall from the sky
Don't let the sunshine pass you by
Don't let the tear fall from your eye

D C D
Its there each time I turn around I look away and you'll be gone
C
I could have done so many things
D C
I could have stayed
G F#
I could have stayed
G F#
I should have stayed in bed all day
G F#
I should have stayed in bed all day

Glad you liked it triumph. You're in luck, you picked another I happen to know. Have submitted them both to Ultimate-Guitar, might upload more later. Have Can't Go Back, Easy Street, Black Star and a few others worked out...


Die In Your Arms

A simple enough song, apart from the string sections :) In the verse C, hammer on G to keep things interesting.


Intro

high F (8th fret for a couple of bars)


Verse

C__________________________________F__________ C
My dad must have been drinking the night I was conceived
C
A flailing lost delirious sperm
__F________________ C
A seaman lost at sea
________F________________________________C
But someway, somehow I found you and the journey has been long
F________________________________________________C
A troubled somber singer who had finally found a song

Chorus

F________________________C
And I don't wanna do you no harm
F______C__ F__C__F________________C
Yes I just wanna die in your arms

Verse

The bitter fighting cold froze the waves within their tracks
Trapped beneath the ice never to come back
The skaters whirled, and twirled, and glided effortless in motion
Laughing in their blissful dance upon the frozen ocean

Instrumental

F________G________Am________F
C________G________Am

G
Am I the only one that this happens to
F
Does this mother know no other
G________________________________________________F
Well my mother taught me enough about love to know you are my lover

Verse

The ice cracked and crackled
And from it steam would rise
Her wings spread far and wide had whisked away the sky
And though I cannot see her now I still look everyplace
Washed upon the shore and saved by your humbling grace

Chorus

And I don't wanna do you no harm
Yes, I just wanna die in your arms

Instrumental

F________G________Am________F
C________G________Am

Intro

high F

F__C__ F__C__F________________ C
I just wanna die in your arms

I've posted Can't Go Back and Black Star on Ultimate, should be up soon. After watching it live on Youtube, I'm less convinced about Easy Street. Could use some help with this one... ;)

Intro/Chorus

D_______________A (E?)_______________G_______________D
Easy Street, down Easy Street, down Easy Street, down Easy Street

Verse: (Dave plays the D A G as barre chords)

D_______A_______G_____________________E________________A_______(Riff)
Did you hear the one about the friend of a friend who tried to end it all?

The end 4 note riff goes something like this:

Dsus9 A Asus9 A
