  • My guitar just confirmed what my ear told me: It's a simple 12-bar
    blues. There are a few variations on the pattern, but the one I use
    is:
  •  
    E7 A7 E7 E7 A7 A7 E7 E7 B7 A7 E7 B7
     
  • Here's how it fits with the lyrics:
     
     
  • GIVE ME ONE REASON
    On: Tracy Chapman, _New Beginning_
    Words & Music: Tracy Chapman
  •  
    INTRO: Blues progression (above)
     
  • E7 A7 E7
    CHORUS: Give me one reason to stay here and I'll turn right back around
    A7 E7
  • Give me one reason to stay here and I'll turn right back around
    B7
    'Cause I don't want to leave you lonely
  • A7 E7 B7
    But you've got to make me change my mind
     
  • Baby I got your number and I know that you've got mine
    Baby I got your number and I know that you've got mine
    You can call me baby, you can call me anytime (but you got to call me)
  •  
    CHORUS
     
  • I don't want no one to squeeze me, they might take away my life
    I don't want no one to squeeze me, they might take away my life
    I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night
  •  
    This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
    This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
  • But I'm too old to go chasing you around, wasting my precious energy
     
    CHORUS
  •  
    Baby just give me one reason, give me just one reason why
    Baby just give me one reason, give me just one reason why I should stay
  • Because I told you that I love you and there ain't no more to say
     
    End on E7

    This song has a pretty intricate and difficult lead.
    However, it sounds really good when you can play it. Tracy
  • plays the rhythm electric guitar (basic pattern is tabbed
    below), and her guitarist plays the blues lead guitar.
     
  • Here are the lyrics and the basic chord progressions for the
    song. The guitar parts are tabbed below.

    That's basically the entire song. There are two more riffs
  • in the last two verses that I thought were neat. Here they
    are (sorry, I don't remember where they go, or what chords
    support them).
