Subject: TAB: Concrete Blonde-When You Smile

Hi folks,

Welcome to todays edition of

"Conrete Blonde for the practicing musician"

This is my interpretation of "When You Smile" off the album

"Mexican Moon" so there are no guarantees but it sounds good

to me.

WHEN YOU SMILE

--------------

N.C.

I dreamed last night I was born a hundred.....

... 'cos I could lose everything in a minute or two, yeah

Ax4

A G A A

Its not ????? you can stop the years behind..

The A and G above are played something like this:

A G

E|----------------| E|----------------|

B|----------------| B|----------------|

G|----------------| G|----------------|

D|-----7-5--------| D|-------5--------|

A|---7------------| A|---5------------|

E|-5--------------| E|-3---3----------|

the A and G repeat over much of the song.

chorus: (With Distortion)

D5 A5 C5 G5

When you smile, I don't know what to do

D5 A5 C5 G5

Cos I could lose everything in a minute or two

A5 C5 E5 G5

And it seems like the end of the world

A(as in the intro)

When you smile..

for those that dont know, D5,A5,C5,etc are just

power chords: D5 x577xx

A5 577xxx

C5 x355xx

G5 355xxx

E5 022xxx

In the chorus Jim sometimes hits the open strings

in his trasnsitions from one chord to another,eg:

D5 A5

E|--------------------|

B|--------------------|

G|-7--7---------------|

D|-7--7------7--7-----|

A|-5--5------7--7-----|

E|---------0-5--5-----|

It doesnt look like much

but it adds a bit of oomph!

Happy playing everyone.

Bye for now
