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.

Ax4
A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA A augmentedA

The A augmentedA and G+G above are played something like this:
A augmentedA G+G
E MajorE|----------------| E MajorE|----------------|
BB|----------------| BB|----------------|
G+G|----------------| G+G|----------------|
D MajorD|-----7-5--------| D MajorD|-------5--------|
A augmentedA|---7------------| A augmentedA|---5------------|
E MajorE|-5--------------| E MajorE|-3---3----------|
the A augmentedA and G+G repeat over much of the song.
chorus: (With Distortion)
D5D5 A5A5 C5C5 G5G5
When you smile, I ...
D5D5 A5A5 C5C5 G5G5
Cos I could lose ...
A5A5 C5C5 E5E5 G5G5

for those that dont know, D5,A5,C5,etc are just
power chords: D5D5 x577xx
A5A5 577xxx
C5C5 x355xx
G5G5 355xxx
E5E5 022xxx
In the chorus Jim sometimes hits the open strings
in his trasnsitions from one chord to another,eg:
D5D5 A5A5
E MajorE|--------------------|
BB|--------------------|
G+G|-7--7---------------|
D MajorD|-7--7------7--7-----|
A augmentedA|-5--5------7--7-----|
E MajorE|---------0-5--5-----|

It doesnt look like much
but it adds a bit of oomph!
Happy playing everyone.
Bye for now
