The rest of the solo is best improvised because it’s difficult to hear it on the

Broken Hearted Blues

Broken Hearted Blues

This is one of my all time favorite songs, period. It’s only a four
chord progression and a tiny lil’ riff, but it’s so simple yet beautiful.

D maj C maj 7 A min E min lil’ riff (in key of D)
E–2——–0———0——–0—————————————|
B–1——–0———1——–0—————-7–8-7–10-8-7-7——-|
G–2——–0———2——–0—————-7–7-7–7–7-7-7——-|
D–0——–2———2——–2—————-0–0-0–0–0-0-0——-|
A———–3———0——–2—————————————|
E——————————0—————————————|

D major C maj 7
This is a song that I wrote when I was young

A minor E minor D maj (play the lil’ riff here)
and I call it the broken hearted blues

D major C maj 7
The air on that night was tempered like a knife

A minor E minor D maj (play the lil’ riff here)
and the people wore the face masks of a clown

…..the same four chord progression with the riff at the end, that’s the
whole song, simple and sweet, just the way I like em’….the Axe Miester!

Intro: E x8

E
Slim lined sheik faced Angel of the night
Riding like a cowboy In the graveyard of the night
New York witch in the dungeon Of the day
I’m trying to write my novel But all you do is play

A E
Boomerang, ooh baby, boomerang
B A E
well you never slight a person but you always bang the whole gang
E
Oh yeah…

E
Mince pie dog-eye Eagle on the wind
I’m searching through this garbage Looking for a friend
Your uncle with an alligator Chained to his leg
Dangles you your freedom Then he offers you his bed

A E
Baby Boomerang, ooh baby, boomerang
B A E
well you never slight a person but you always bang the whole gang
E
Oh yeah…

It seems to me to dream Is something too wild
In Max’s Kansas City You a belladonna child
Riding on the highways On the gateways to the south
You’re talking with your boots And you’re walking with your mouth

A E
Baby Boomerang, ooh baby, boomerang
B A E
well you never slight a person but you always bang the whole gang
E
Oh yeah…

* Enjoy ! *

Avengers Superbad

On By MaryIn T.Rex Guitar TabsLeave a comment

This is a simple song with a repetative chord sequence

E
superbad tiger running with your brain,

tucked beneath your arms like a devil’s train
A
when the angels from the heavens meat the angels from the earth
E
we’ll hide inside our cave aha that’s right of course

G A E
and we know, we ain’t slow we’re the avengers

E
i’ve known lots of ladies

and the ladies know me

i’ve been foxy roxy punctured and I’m funky born free
A
you can needle treacle kiss me with the honey from your mouth
E
but belive me I’m a bad moon bopster

and i’ll never come in your house

G A E
and we know, we ain’t slow we’re the avengers

20th Century Baby

T. Rex – 20th Century Baby

This is quite the pretty little song, and sounds great when played on an acoustic. I
it on the T. Rex “Work in Progress” 2 disc set, it appears on both discs in stripped-down
and full-band forms.

Enjoy!

Intro: G

Verse:

G Em
The highlight of my life was meeting you

G D D7
That windy autumn day at Malibu

Chorus:

C
Your face was heaven sent

G
My mind laid hard to rent

D C G D7
Girl be my 20th century baby

(chords continue as such for whole song.)

2nd verse/chorus:
Love comes but once to men the wise men say
I knew that must be true that LA day
Your diamond eyes that shine
The rubies of your mind
Girl be my 20th century baby

1 verse of do-do-do’s, then 2nd chorus over
repeat 1st verse/chorus

end on G
