I have been trying to work out some songs and I posted a few a while ago,

If you or anyone else out there could help me work some stuff out that

would be cool (the chords to the chorus of Rain would be cool. I know

the intro) Failing that, just tell me any favourites and if I know them

I'll send them to you

Heres one for today off 'FREE'. This is what I posted a while ago,

I think I would like to add to it a little but that will have to wait

LITTLE CONVERSATIONS by Concrete Blonde

-------------------- off the album FREE

transcribed by ericb@ecr.mu.oz.au

Heres a song I think sounds pretty good on an accoustic

I show in tab how to play the C-G-Am pattern in the verses

Use your ring finger to do the C and G bass notes in the Am part

I used to think he only was playing C bass notes but I gave it

another listen to last night and I think he throws the odd

G-bass note in

I'm not too sure about the fills but theyre close enough to

keep me happy.

verse rhythm

C G Am

C G Am C G Am

The little conversation, was over very soon

C G Am F G

And I watch in admiration from my corner of the room

C G Am

And they shine on me with starry eyes

C G Am

And they rain a friendly storm

C G Am

Like kids around a christmas tree

F G

And then you smile all nice and warm

F G C Am

These little conversations, if I try my very best

F G C Am (fill 1)

You know I never could say anything in 20 words or less

F G C Am

Somewhere sometime down the line, someday I may confess

F G

and tell you all, thats all

The little conversations on me are very rough

They leave me all in pieces

You know theres never time enough

Its like a book with missing pages

A story incomplete

Its like a painting left unfinished

It feels like not enough to eat - starving..

You know these little conversations

Well for me they'll never do

Now what am I supposed to do

With broken sentences of you

I'll stay in my corner

Cos thats all that I can do

Let the others think for me

F G C Am

Little conversations are we

C G Am C G Am

i

Are we C G Am
