Biography:
John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and The Neville Brothers, yet it took him thirteen years to reach the charts himself.

Down In Front
John Hiatt / Two Bit Monsters 1980
John in G
Notated in 2 (measure gets 2 beats)
1 5
I spend so much time tryin^Ò
1 4
To learn all your languages
1 5 2- 2-
I got nothin^Ò to say
1 5
It^Òs all cheap talk in kind
4 1
And a matter of time
5 5 5 5
Some fool gets his way
1 5 1 4
Down on his knees he says I got this feelin^Ò
1 5 2- 2-
That you^Òre not that kind of girl
6- 6- 4 4
And no one knows better as he takes off your sweater
b7 4 5 5
Just what he means when he^Òs promised you the world
|1* 2*|3* 6- |6- 5 |5
Down in front
|1* 2* 3* repeat
That^Òs all they want
|1* 2* 3*
Just two square inches
4 4 / /
He^Òs a snake in britches
Shakin^Ò your head as you lie with the enemy
So much louder than words
All that you felt one more notch in his belt
Well have you heard
You got no heart for these bullets he^Òs loaded with
They just lite up the sky
And who needs a hero when it^Òs zero to zero
I don^Òt know baby it^Òs just an alibi
CHORUS
@
|6- / 5 |6- 6- 5 |
You could be an-y- one
|6- / 5 |6- 5 5 |1 |4 |1 |4 5 |
Who can^Òt be both-ered with names
|6- / 5 |6- 6- 5 |
Turn off the lites turn the
|6- / 5 |6- 5 5 |2- |2- |5 |5 |
latch it^Òs just more of the same
CHORUS
@ triplets, 3 beats per measure of 2 beats duration
