Anything But Down chords by Sheryl Crow

Chords with lyrics

Song: Anything But Down

  Album: The Globe Sessions.

  Tabbed by Gemini.

  Hi there! This is the first time that I'm tabbing, so bear with me.
  I am also a musician and maybe someday you'll be tabbing my
  songs…. (hey, wishful thinking never hurt anyone!). Well, here goes:

  Tuning: standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

  There are parts for two guitars here, but it sounds ok if you play only Guitar
  1's (G1) part too, which is what I do. Or if you can find
  a friend then they can play Guitar 2 (G2), a lead.

  Weird chords:

  F#/A

  E MajorE |----0---|
  BB |----0---|
  G+G |----2---|
  D MajorD |----0---|
  A augmentedA |----0---|
  E MajorE |----2---|

  'p': pull off
  'h': hammer on
  'B': bend
  's': slide

  Intro: (G1) E minorEm x 8 bars (32 beats)

  Intro: (G2)

  RIFF 1:

  Bar 1 G1 enter Bar 2

    E MajorE |-------------|---0h2p0-------------------------- |----0h2p0--------------------|
    BB |-------------|-----------------3s2-----0-------- |-----------------3s2-----3---|
    G+G |-------------|---------------------------------- |-----------------------------|
    D MajorD |----2h4----- |-------------------------------2h4 |-----------------------------|
    A augmentedA |-------------|---------------------------------- |-----------------------------|
    E MajorE |-------------|---------------------------------- |-----------------------------|


    Repeat RIFF 1 twice.

  E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  I light your cigarette, I bring you apples from the vine

  E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  How quickly you forget, I run the bath and pour the wine

  E minorEm F#/A C majorC

  I bring you everything that floats into your mind

  G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  Now you don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 3)

  E minorEm

  When you come round


  E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  You are a raging sea, I pull myself out everyday

  E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  I plea insanity, ‘cause I can't leave and I can't stay

  E minorEm F#/A C majorC

  You say won’t you come find me and yes is what I’ll say

  G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  You don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 2)

  E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  And everything is crashing to the ground

  G+G D MajorD

  Maybe I'm not the perfect kind

  A minorAm C majorC

  Maybe I’m not what you had in mind

  G+G A minorAm C majorC

  And maybe we’re just killing time

  inst. (G1) G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC G+G D MajorD A minorAm

  inst. (G2)

  e |---3s7---8---10---12s5---3h5p3h5---7---8---10---12s5---5p3---3h5---3s0---|

  (high e, the thinnest string)

  E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  You with your silky words, and your eyes of green and blue

  E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  You with your steel beliefs that don’t match anything you do

  E minorEm F#/A C majorC

  You were so much easier before you became you.

  G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  You don’t bring me anything but down. (repeat x 2)

  G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  And everything just crashes to the ground.

  G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  When you come around.

  G+G A minorAm C majorC

  When you come around ..

  G+G D MajorD

  Well no more playing seek and hide,

  A minorAm C majorC

  No more long and wasted nights,

  G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC

  Can't you make it easy on yourself.

  G+G D MajorD

  Well I know you wish you were strong,

  A minorAm C majorC

  You wish you were never wrong,

  G+G D MajorD A minorAm (end by strumming once down on the A minorAm cord.)

  Well I got some wishes of my own.




  Thanks for your patience and enjoy the song. Any queries, comments,
  or if you know something I don’t, then please feel free
