Willis Alan Ramsey recorded one classic album on Leon's Shelter
records back in 73 or 74. The album has been reissued on CD.
W A Ramsey is still giggin' ya gotta see 'im.
The | is a bar line and / is a beat within a measure that
designates playing the same as previous chord. No bar lines
means the chord will get an entire measure's time. Two
chords per measure split the measure exactly in half. W.A.
actually plays in different tunings, these changes are really
implied voicings.
I usually play those first chords:
A X07650
E6 X06450
Da9 X04230
E 022100
F#-7 044220
G-6 055330
E7 076750
A ballad
A E6/G#
Look in any corner
Da9/F# |E F#-7 G-6 E7/G# |
Look in any place
A E6/G#
Look in any city
Da9/F# |E F#-7 G-6 E7/G# |
Find a pretty face
Dj7 Aj7
And then come 'round to my house
Dj7 E11
And I will show you more
A A
My love adore
She is one from the mountains
She is one from the plains
She is one with the woodlands
And she's at home on the range
And all these things of beauty
They left a kiss on her
I'll tell you sir
Chorus:
D#dim7 D-
I say lord she is as sweet as one of her pecan pies
Aj7/C# Cdim7
Listenin' to her laffter I get hypnotized
| B-/D C#-/D D E/D | B-/E C#-/E D/E E |Aj7
Good-ness knows I love my Angel Eyes
E6/G# |Dadd9/F# |E F#-7 G-6 E7/G# |
I love my Angel Eyes oh, yes, yes I do
She is understandin'
Patient with my dreams
She is not demandin'
She does not stomp and scream
And you know each nite as I love her
I thank the great divine
That she is mine
Chorus
