Anything But Down Tab

by Sheryl Crow


Artist: Sheryl Crow 

   Song: Anything But Down 

   Album: The Globe Sessions. 


   Hi there! This is the first time that I'm tabbing, so bear with me.
   I am also a musician and maybe someday you'll be tabbing my
   songs…. (hey, wishful thinking never hurt anyone!). Well, here goes: 

   Tuning: standard (     ) 

   There are parts for two guitars here, but it sounds ok if you play only Guitar
   1's (G1) part too, which is what I do. Or if you can find
   a friend then they can play Guitar 2 (G2), a lead. 

   Weird chords:

   /

   E |----0---|
   B |----0---|
   G |----2---|
   D |----0---|
   A |----0---|
   E |----2---| 

   'p': pull off 
   'h': hammer on 
   '': bend 
   's': slide 

   Intro: (G1) Em x 8 bars (32 beats) 

   Intro: () 

   RIFF 1:

   Bar 1 G1 enter Bar 2

       E |-------------|---0h2p0-------------------------- |----0h2p0--------------------|
       B |-------------|-----------------3s2-----0-------- |-----------------3s2-----3---|
       G |-------------|---------------------------------- |-----------------------------|
       D |----2h4----- |-------------------------------2h4 |-----------------------------|
       A |-------------|---------------------------------- |-----------------------------| 
       E |-------------|---------------------------------- |-----------------------------|

    

       Repeat RIFF 1 twice. 

    

      

   I light your cigarette, I bring you apples from the vine 

      

   How quickly you forget, I run the bath and pour the wine

    / 

   I bring you everything that floats into your mind 

      

   Now you don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 3)

   

   When you come round

    

      

   You are a raging sea, I pull myself out everyday 

      

   I plea insanity, ‘cause I can't leave and I can't stay

    /  

   You say won’t you come find me and yes is what I’ll say

      

   You don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 2)

      

   And everything is crashing to the ground

    

   Maybe I'm not the perfect kind

    

   Maybe I’m not what you had in mind 

      

   And maybe we’re just killing time 

   inst. (G1)        

   inst. () 

   e |---3s7---8---10---12s5---3h5p3h5---7---8---10---12s5---5p3---3h5---3s0---| 

   (high e, the thinnest string)

      

   You with your silky words, and your eyes of green and blue

      

   You with your steel beliefs that don’t match anything you do

    /  

   You were so much easier before you became you.

      

   You don’t bring me anything but down. (repeat x 2)

       

   And everything just crashes to the ground.

      

   When you come around.

      

   When you come around ..

    

   Well no more playing seek and hide, 

     

   No more long and wasted nights,

      

   Can't you make it easy on yourself.

    

   Well I know you wish you were strong,

    

   You wish you were never wrong, 

   G D Am (end by strumming once down on the Am cord.)

   Well I got some wishes of my own.

    

   

   Thanks for your patience and enjoy the song. Any queries, comments,
   or if you know something I don’t, then please feel free
