How Can I Tell Her About You

7 7 -8 7 7 -6
She knows when I’m lonesome,
4 4 -6 6 -6 5
And she cries when I’m sad.
4 -5 6 -5 -5 5
She’s up in the good times,
4 -4 4 -3 -4
She’s down in the bad.
7 7 7 -8 7 7 6
Whenever I’m discouraged,
4 -6 6 -6 -5 5
she knows just what to do.
-6 5 4 -5 5 -4 -5 5 4
But girl, she doesn’t know about you.
7 7 7 -8 7 7 -6
I can tell her my troubles,
4 -6 6 -6 6 5
She makes them all seem right.
4 -5 6 -5 -5 5 4
I can make up excuses,
4 -4 4 -3 -4 -4
Not to hold her at night.
7 7 -8 7 7 -6
We can talk of tomorrow,
4 -6 6 6 -6 -5 -5 5 5
I’ll tell her of things I wanna do.
-6 5 4 -5 5 -4 -5 -5 5 4
But girl, how can I tell her about you?
-6 -6 7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6
How can I tell her about you?
-6 7 -7 -7 -6 -7 6
Girl, please tell me what to do.
6 6 -6 -6 -7
Everything seems right,
6 6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7
Whenever I’m with you.
-7 -6 -6 7 -7 -7
So girl, won’t you tell me,
-6 7 -7 -7 7 -8 7
How to tell her about you.
7 7 7 -8 7 7 -6 -6 6
How can I tell her I don’t miss her,
4 -6 -6 6 -6 5
Whenever I’m away?
4 -5 6 -5 -5 5 -5 5 4
How can I say it’s you I think of,
4 -4 4 -3 4 -4 -4
Every single night and day?
7 7 7 -8 7 6
But when is it easy,
4 4 -6 6 -6 5
telling someone we’re through?
-6 5 4 -5 5 -5 -5 5 4
Ah girl, help me tell her about you.
-6 -6 7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6
How can I tell her about you?
-6 7 -7 -7 -6 -7 6
Girl, please tell me what to do.
6 6 -6 -6 -7
Everything seems right,
6 6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7
Whenever I’m with you.
-7 -6 -6 7 -7 -7
So girl, won’t you tell me,
-6 7 -7 -7 7 -8 7
How to tell her about you.

How Can I Keep From Singing?

3 4 -4 5 5 -4 5 4
My life flows on in endless song;

4 -4 5 6 5 5 -4
Above earth’s lamentation

3 4 -4 5 5 -4 5 4
I hear the sweet though far off hymn

3 4 -4 5 -4 -4 4
That hails a new creation:

5 6 6 6 5 -4 5 4
Through all the tumult and the strife

3 4 -4 5 -4 5 6
I hear the music ringing;

5 6 6 6 5 -4 5 4
It finds an echo in my soul—

3 4 -4 5 -4 -4 4
How can I keep from singing?

What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord my Savior liveth;
What though the darkness gather round!
Songs in the night He giveth:
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of Heav’n and earth,
How can I keep from singing?

I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smoothes
Since first I learned to love it:
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing:
All things are mine since I am His—
How can I keep from singing?

I’ve got a home and a big warm bed,
And a feather pillow for my head.

Everybody puts me down,
I’m a face without a name,
Just walking in the rain.

House of the Rising Sun Lead Guitar melody

These are the tabs for the characteristic guitar melody from the Animals’ cover of House of the Rising Sun. Pretty hard to play but sounds very nice if you can put some speed into it. This melody is repeated throughout the entire song.

You’re going to be mimicing the lead guitar player. Enjoy!

House Of The Rising Sun accompaniment (chrom)

This is the bass line for House Of The Rising Sun.
Time is 6/8 120bpm. Each note is a full measure.
Play it six times through.

I find it sounds better to tongue the notes in
half in sync with the song.
