ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
This is a collection of my favourite guitar tab music from the Internet... actually; most of it came
from a friend’s collection – Albert Yang (cheers Alby). I think it’s pretty good music too (maybe a
couple are a bit dodgy), took me many hours to put together too! :)
Using MS Word you can modify guitar tabs from the Internet so they each fit one per page, index them,
and use macros to automatically format them nicely. It leads to a much nicer, more organized collection
of music.
This document comes from: http://www.andrewnoske.com/
(I also have a good chord chart I recommend printing out and including in your folder)
Instructions:
If you wish to use and extend this collection I suggest you do the follow:

copy and paste directly from the internet; select “keep text only” as you paste,

modify the song so it fits on one page by changing the font size if necessary (personal
preference)

if you wish you can run my existing macros to automatically format tabs (so that notes are in
bold... etc): press (Alt+F8) and run one of:
o
GUITAR_TAB__FORMAT_WHOLE_DOCUMENT – Executes the following three macros over WHOLE
document (might take a few minutes)
o
GUITAR_TAB__Notes_To_Bold – Finds all notes and makes them bold (from cursor to end of
document)
o
GUITAR_TAB__Special_Characters – Finds special words (including: "verse", "chorus",
etc), makes them italic and converts them to uppercase (if not already)
o
GUITAR_TAB__Special_Words_To_Italics - Finds special characters (including "[", "-",
"#", etc) and changes their font/formatting.
o
BEWARE: You can’t undo a macro operation, so save first.
o
WARNING: Most of my macros execute until the end of the document and therefore may take
a few minutes since this document is large – you may prefer to paste new tabs to an
empty document first, execute my macros there, and then copy them across.

apply “heading 1” to the title and song (as I have done) using the “styles and formatting” pane
(show “available styles”); the rest should be default font in “courier new”; apply other styles
as needed.

to update the “table of contents” right click on it and select “update field” >> “update entire
table”
Disclaimer:
|----------| This document contains representation of artist’s original songs. You may only use this file for study,
| scholarship, or research
|----------* This disclaimer was written to cover my own arse. :)
Most of the songs on this site come from http://www.guitartablab.com/, and some from other sites
including: http://www.guitartabs.cc/ and http://www.powertabs.com/. In many cases I have removed author
names etc so that each song will fit on a page; for which I apologise, but I’m sure you can find the
originals online in most cases.

Alex Lloyd - Beautiful
COMMENT: This one is a bit tricky/dodgy – Versus are right, but you’ll have to sing the chorus different
from the origional song – “you are so” is much softer and lower than you’d expect.
CAPO 2nd Fret
VERSE 1:
F#m
C#m
All goodbyes disappeared,
A
when I first set my eyes on you,
E
I found a world so pure and blue.
F#m
C#m
Today, I vow to you,
A
that every little piece of me,
E
is coming from the heart of me.
CHORUS:
B
C#m
You are so beautiful,
E
and you're filling up my day,
A
with the things I can't explain.
(strum each twice breifly)
B
C#m
You are so beautiful,
E
and I'm holding on today,
A
yeah, we're holding on, we're holding on.
VERSE 2:
F#m
C#m
Among the broke glass,
A
a road we've all been down before,
E
but this time there's an open door.
F#m
C#m
A code so set a sealed,
A
where nothing is unbreakable,
E
and every missing piece is filled.

Don Henley - Boys of Summer
D
Nobody on the road
C
Nobody on the beach
D
I feel it in the air
C
The summer's out of reach
D
Empty lake, empty streets
C
The sun goes down alone
D
I'm drivin' by your house
C
Am
Though I know you're not at home
G
But I can see youD
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
C
Am
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
G
D
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
C
Am
After the boys of summer have gone
D
I never will forget those nights
C
wonder if it was a dream
D
Remember how you made me crazy?
C
Remember how I made you scream
D
C
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
D
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
C
Am
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see youYour brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
D
C
Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
D
C
A little voice Inside my head said, Don't look back. You can never look back.
D
I thought I knew what love was
C
what did I know?
D
Those days are gone forever
C
Am
I should just let them go butI can see youYour brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see youYour brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

At the CHORUS, a regular strumming pattern
VERSE 1:
A [G]long [D] long [Em7] time ago / [Am] I can still re[C]member /
how that [Em]music used to make me [D]smile /
And [G]I knew [D]if I had [Em7]my chance / that [Am]I could make those [C]people dance and /
[Em]maybe they'd be [C]happy for a [D]while /
[Em]But February [Am]made me shiver [Em] / With every paper [Am]I'd deliver [C] /
Bad news [G]on the [Am]doorstep / I c[C]ouldn't take one [D]more step /
I [G]can't re[D]member if I [Em]cried / When I [Am7]read about his [D]widowed bride. /
But [G]something [D]touched me [Em]deep inside / The [C]day the [D7]music [G]died /
CHORUS: ***
(start strumming until SINGING through DIE which are single strums)
[G]bye [C]bye Miss A[G]merican [D]Pie /
Drove my [G]chevy to the [C]levy But the [G]levy was [D]dry /
And them [G]good old [C]boys were drinking [G]whiskey and [D]rye /
Singin' [Em]this'll be the day that I [Am]die /
[Em]this'll be the day that I [D7]die /
[D7-Am-D7-G-D7-Am-D7]
(The little chord pattern on the end of it only goes on a couple times.)
VERSE 2:
(start regular strumming pattern here)
[G]Did you write the [Am]book of
[Em]If the Bible [D]tells you so
Do [G]you be[D]lieve in [Em]Rock
And [Em]can you teach me [A7]how

/ [D-G-D-Am-D]
'n Roll? / Can [Am7]music save your [C]mortal soul? /
to dance [D]real slow? /
(The CHORDS between the words WELL and GYM are strum once. Rest isreg.)
Well, I [Em]know that you're in [D]love with him /'cause I [Em]saw you dancin' [D]in the gym /
You [C]both kicked [G]off your [D] shoes / Man, I [C]dig those [G] rythmny [D7]blues /
I was a [G]lonely [D]teenage [Em]broncin' buck / With a [Am]pink carnation and a [C]pickup truck /
But [G]I knew [D]I was [Em]out of luck / The [C]day the [D7]music [G]died [C-G] /
I started singin'
{c: CHORUS}
VERSE 3:
[G]Now for ten years we've been [Am]on our own / And [C]moss grows fat on a [Am]rollin' stone [Em] /
But that's not how it [D]used to be / [G-D-Am-D] / When the [G]jester [D]sang for the [Em]King and Queen.
In a [Am7]coat he borrowed [C]from James Dean / And a [Em]voice that [A7]came from [D]you and me /
(From OH to CROWN strum chord once. Then to pattern again.)
Oh, and [Em]while the King was [D]looking down /The [Em]jester stole his [D]thorny crown /
The [C]courtroom [G] was ad[D]journed / No [C]verdict was re[D7]turned /
And while [G]Lennon [D]read a [Em]book of Marx / The [Am]court kept practice [C]in the park /
And [G]we sang [D]dirges [Em]in the dark / The [C]day the [D7]Music [G]Died.[C-G]
We were singing
{c:CHORUS}
VERSE 4:
[G]Helter-Skelter in
[Em]Eight Miles High
It [G]landed [D]foul
But the [Em]jester's
a [Am]summer swelter / The [C]Byrds flew off with a [Am]fallout shelter /
and [D]falling fast / [D-G-D-Am-D] /
out [Em]on the grass / The [Am7]players tried [C]for a forward pass /
[A7]on the sidelines [D]in a cast /
Now the [Em]half-time air was [D]sweet perfume / While the [Em]sargeants played a [D]marching tune /
[C]We all [G]got up to [D]dance /
But we [C]never got [D7]the chance /
'cause the [G]players [D]tried to [Em]take the field /
The [Am]marching band re[C]fused to yield[G] /
Do you [D]recall [Em]what was reveiled ... the [C]day the [D7]music [G]died?[C-G] /
We stared singing
{c:CHORUS}
[G]Oh, and there we were all [Am]in one place / A [C]generation [Am]lost in space [Em] /
With no time left to [D]start again [D-G-D-Am-D] /
So come on, [G]Jack be nimble. [Em]Jack be quick / Jack [Am7]Flash sat on a [C]candlestick
'cause [Em]fire is the [A7]Devil's only [D]friend /
/
(From OH to RAGE strum each chord once)
Oh, and [Em]as I watched him [D]on the stage /My [Em]hands were clenched in [D]fists of rage /
[C]No angel [G]born in [D]hell / Could [C]break that Satan's [D7]spell /
And as the [G]flames climbed [D]high in[Em]to the night / To [Am]light the sacri[C]fical rite /
I saw [G]Satan [D]laughing [Em]with delight / The [C]day the [D7]Music [G]Died [C-G] /
He was singing
{c:CHORUS}
VERSE 5:
(Next 2 verses [until CHORUS] strum each chord only once)
I [G]met a [D]girl who sang the [Am]blue / And I [C]asked her for some [Am]happy news /
But [Em]she just smiled and turned [D]away / I [G]went down [D]to the sacred [Em7]store /
Where I'd [Am]heard the music [C]years before / But the [Em]man there said the [A7]music woudn't [D]play /
And in the [Em]streets the children [D]screamed / The [Em]lovers cried, and the poets [D]dreamed [C] /
But not a [G]word was [A7]spoken / The [C]Church bells all were [D7]broken /
And [G]three men [D]I ad[Em]mire most / The [Am]Father, Son and the [C]Holy Ghost /
They G]caught the [D]last train [Em]for the coast / The [C]Day the [D7]Music [G]Died /
And they were singing
{c:CHORUS}
They were singing
[G]bye [C]bye Miss A[G]merican [D]Pie /
Drove my [G]chevy to the [C]levy, but the [G]levy was [D]dry /
And them [G]good old [C]boys were drinking [G]whiskey and [D]rye /
Singin' [G]this'll be the [D]day that I [G]die [C-G] / (finish on G)

City's breaking down on a camel's back.
They just have to go 'cos they don’t hold back
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You won’t get out the county, 'cos you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon. It's ephemeral style.
A melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don’t get sleep, no..

Green Day – Time of you life *NEW
I think this a slightly more accurate tab of Good Riddance based on the tab from quicksannd@aol.com.
Normal tuning - EADGBE
Note 1: The high E string is not used at all, but you might want to keep your little finger on fret 3 as playing that accidentally shouldn't affect
the sound too bad as it could be part of every chord used.
Note 2: Following the first CHORUS, strumming is used more than picking - listen to the record to hear what I mean. However, the picking of the B
string followed by the G string before each chord change remains pretty constant.

VERSE 1:
G
D
C
D
A man walks down the street,
he says why am I soft in the middle now,
Why am I soft in the middle,
the rest of my life is so hard,
I need a photo-opportunity,
I want a shot at redemption,
Don’t want to end up a cartoon,
in a cartoon graveyard,
Bonedigger, bonedigger,
dogs in the moonlight,
Far away
my well-lit door,
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly,
get these mutts away from me,

You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore.

VERSE 2:
G
D
A man walks down the street,
got a short little span of attention,
where’s my wife and family,
who’ll be my role-model,
gone, gone,
with some roly-poly little bat-faced girl,
there were incidents and accidents,
he says why am I short of attention,
and wo my nights are so long,
what if I die here,
now that my role-model is
he ducked back down the alley
all along, along
there were hints and allegations.
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3:
G
D
A man walks down the street,
maybe its the Third World,
he doesn’t speak the language,
he is a foreign man,
the sound, the sound,
scatterlings and orphanages,
he sees angels in the architecture,
he says Amen and Hallelujah!
C
D
its a street in a strange world,
maybe its his first time around,
he holds no currency,
he is surrounded by
cattle in the marketplace,
he looks around, around,
spinning in infinity,
REPEAT CHORUS

D
If you’ll be my bodygaurd

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
There in the road, straight ahead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass

D
We haven't driven very far
A car wouldn't start the engine was dead
I'll never forget the sound that night
the painful scream that I heard last
CHORUS:

E
Oh where oh where can my baby be
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good
C
D
The lord took her away from me
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
VERSE 2:
G
E
When I woke up the rain was pouring down
Something warm falling through my eyes
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
C
D
There were people standing all around
But somehow I found, my baby that night
Hold me darlin' just a little while
I found the love that I knew I had missed
I lost my love,my life that night
REPEAT CHORUS
The rest is just humming and stuff but same

So here you have it is this is 100% right on a acoustic guitar :)

Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of town

It waits in the darkness with a weapon to cut somebody down

We always need to hear both sides of the story...both sides of the story
Neighbourhood peace is shattered, it's the middle of the night
Young faces hide in the shadows while they watch their mother and father fight
He says she's been unfaithful. She says her love for him is gone.
And the brother shrugs to his sister and says
"looks like it's just us from now on"
Oh we always need to hear both sides of the story
We need to hear both sides of the story...both sides of the story

Here we are all gathered in what seems to be the center of the storm.
Neighbors once friendly now stand inside of the line that has been drawn.
They've been fighting here for years, but now there's killing on the street.
While small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat.

Oh we always need to hear both sides of the story
The lights are all on, the world is watching now. People looking for truth,

Walk away from here...'til you see both sides...oh no no no
White man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world.
Ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wall.
He says "would you respect me, if I didn't have this gun?
'Cause without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one."

Sweet Child O' Mine

Where [G] everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky

[C9] It takes me away to that special place
and if I [G] stay too long I'd probably break down and [D] cry
[C9] Oh [G] oh, sweet child of [D] mine
[C9] Oh, oh, [G] oh, sweet love of [D] mine
[D] He's got eyes of the bluest sky
[C9] and if they thought of rain
I'd [G] hate to look into those eyes and [D] see an ounce of pain
[D] His hair reminds me of a warm safe place
[C9] where as a child I'd hide
and [G] pray for the thunder and for the rain to [D] quietly pass me by
