Subject: Dwight Yoakam: Fast As You.crd
indigo@cats.ucsc.edu (Adam Schneider)

[Thanks to David Smillie & Mike James for the lyrics.]
[All the E measures pretty much follow the riff that I've tabbed out at
the end. The F# is more of an F#5, and the A that follows it is kind of
A5-ish. The B in the bridge could be a B7, but that's not important.]


E E E E E E E E
[intro]

E E E E
Maybe someday I'll be strong, ...
A A E E
I'll be the one who's tough, ...
F# A E E
It won't be long and maybe ...

Maybe I'll do things right, ...
You'll learn to cry like me, baby ...
Maybe I'll start tonight ...

A A A E E
You'll control me and oh so ...
A A A B
'Till the pain that shakes me finally ....

Yeah, yeah, ....

Maybe I'll be fast as you, ...
But I think that you'll slow down ....
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as ...

E E E E A A E E F# A E E
[guitar solo]

You'll control me and oh so boldly ...
'Til the pain that shakes me ...
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Maybe I'll be fast as you, maybe ....
But I think you'll slow down ...
Maybe I'll break hearts and ...
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as ....

TAB:

Here's the main riff for The A measures in the middle
the E measures: of the verse (NOT the end) are
pretty much the same:

E ----------------| E ----------------|
B ----------------| B ----------------|
G ----------------| G --------0-------|
D --------0-------| D ----------2-4-2-|
A ----------2-4-2-| A 0-0-3-4---------|
E 0-0-3-4---------| E ----------------|
^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .

I think the B in the bridge is like this:

E ----------------|----------------|
B ----------------|----------------|
G --------2-------|----------------|
D ----1-4---4-6-4-|----------------|
A 2-2-------------|2-2-0-0---------|
E ----------------|--------4-4-2-2-|
^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .

I'm not at all sure about the A measures
in the bridge, but I think they might be
something like this:

E ----------------|
B ----------------|
G ----------------|
D 2-2-4-2-5-2-4-2-|
A 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
E ----------------|
