SOng Title : Cryin' Shame Artist : Johnny Diesel Album : Chryslian (something similar anyway) Johnny Diesel is a great Australian artist. He music varies from slow jazz to funky blue to pure rock. It surprises that noone has tabbed any of his music. It is probably because he doesn't get as much recognition overseas as he does in Australia. Even then he is not on the TIP OF MY TONGUE when you ask me who my favourite Australian artist. He is in fact my favourite Australian artist. Johnny just doesn't get much publicity (bad management). Anyway enough crap....here is Cryin Shame! As with any song, unless you know the song or listen to it....you won't be able to play it properly or make sense of what I have written!

Outro Chord Progression (O.C.P.) [E] [A] Lyrics Verse 1 ( play V.C.P.) Picking up the pieces up off the floor How did I know there was gonna be a war Words of sorrow and words of spite Ringing in my head right through the night Chorus (C.C.P.) Don't you know its a cryin shame Well you got yourself to blame Don't you know its a cryin shame oohhhhhh oohhh!! Verse 2 (V.C.P.) Woke up this morning and its raining again Stop and wondered if its somethin I said Words of sorrow and words of spite Ringing in my head right through the night Repeat Chorus (C.C.P.) Bridge (B.C.P.) cry cry cry cryin shame cry cry cry cryin shame Solo - play solo over following progressions using saxophone! V.C.P. C.C.P. B.C.P. Verse 3 (V.C.P) I was up all night with a conscience fight Just couldn't sleep so I put on the light Sheets so wet when I was out in sweat Mommas gotta cure but it ain't in you Repeat Chorus - a couple of times using first section of chord progression before ending chorus and smoothly sliding into the outro This is not perfect as I haven't listened to song in a while but I'll guarantee its pretty bloody close to it! I'd love to see more Johnny Diesel tabbed and put on the olga just quitely! Any suggestion, comments, criticisms or fuck ups, contact me at e-mail [email protected] Later! Peter Cridland.
