(In the following, strike chords only at the chord letters.
2nd verse coincides with 1st wherever only one line is typed)

D D D-D D| (1. Return to F on line 3)

Af-ter mid - night |



The solo is fairly basic and follows the progression of the
verse (2 times). I'm not typing it in, 'cause you should be
able to get it off the record. If not: improvise!


OUTRO:

N.C. |(Return to '*', repeat & fade part after '**')

We're gon-na |





I hope this helps you master this tune, and remind you that if
you should ever come across any of J.J.'s stuff: POST IT!!



Phew!!! I only have these tunes written in music (notes), and
the converting to TAB is bugging me although I know some of it
by heart. In the following I only give you the chord
structure. I just don't have the time to do everything...
If you really have trouble figuring out some parts: listen to
the records. If that doesn't help: Send me a line and I'll try
to help.

m G Dm
Cajun moon_ where does your power lie_? as you move_ across

(Same structure thruout song, fade on 6th verse ending.)

'Cause Cajun moon took him from you.

You can hear the silence of this song,
Don't trouble your mind, whatever you do,

Here's one of my favorite laid back tunes:

MAGNOLIA From "Naturally" 1st album..

Fmaj7 | Cmaj7 | Fmaj7 | Cmaj7

(2nd verse follows same progression)

2. Magnolia, you sweet thing
you're driving me mad
Got to get back to you baby
You're the best I ever had.
You're the best I ever had.



Am | G | Am | G
You whisper, "Good | morning", | so gently in my |ear

I'm coming home to | you babe.| I'll soon be |there.

Fmaj7 | Cmaj7 | (Solo: Am7 G Am G Am G

DON'T GO TO STRANGERS From "Naturally" 1st album.
Recorded in A
Arranged in Bb

I used to have the tab for this masterpiece, but I seem to have misplaced it.
Anyway, I know the intro by heart, and the rest of the song is basically spun ar
ound the same theme.

INTRO:
optional
Gm Bb C Gm (turnaround)

(Then there's a solo part over the same theme.)
(If any of you have trouble figuring this one out: Send me a mail and I'll
try to help!)

(Song starts:)

Gm Bb C Gm

(Main solo part starts. Progression: G Bb C G G Bb D7 Gm Bb C Gm D7 Gm)

I hope you enjoy it, but remember: If you want to play along with the
recorded version you'll have to rearrange it in A.
