Tracy+Chapman - Give+me+one+reason

Date: Wed, 20 Nov 96 22:10:05 CST From: Ben Weiss Subject: CRD was REQ: Tracy Chapman, "Give Me One Reason" 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 ... A7 E7 Give me .. B7 'Cause I .. A7 E7 B7 But you've .. Verse CHORUS verse 2 Verse 3 CHORUS Baby just .. Baby just .. Because .. End on E7 Give Me One Reason written by Tracy Chapman originally performed by Tracy Chapman track #9 on "new beginning" transcribed by Drew Boles (BolesGJD@aol.com) 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.
