This is a really cool feel good song by an awesome artist, I hope
ya'll enjoy! Go easy on me, it's only my first submission.
Capo on 3rd fret, standard tuning.
There's a little riff played in the last bar of every sequence in the verse over the C chord, this is one way
to play it:
e|----------------------||
B|----------------------||
G|----------------------||
D|--0h2p0---------------||
A|--------3p0-----------||
E|----------------------||
That isn't actually precise - the riff incorporates a slide but you can't pull it off while still playing a C
chord. That's just how I do it :)
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 G C
I wasn’t looking for a one night stand.
Fmaj7 G C
Why she didn’t leave her number I don’t understand.
Fmaj7 G
Cigarette to the ashtray, suitcase, stairs
C C/B Am
when she jumped in the back of taxi cab
Am/F# Am/F G
rolling away, rolling away.
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 G C
She took a ticket on an Amtrak train;
Fmaj7 G C
She took a ticket on a big jet plane.
Fmaj7 G
Both her tickets were a one way fare
C C/B Am/F# Am/F G
It’s fair to say that she, she’s already there.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C
Cause when she goes, she goes, she goes.
Fmaj7 G C
When she goes, you should see her go
Fmaj7 G E7 Am
There’s no looking back, no shoulder glance
Fmaj7 G C
When she goes, she goes, she goes, she goes, she goes.
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 G C
I could take from a famous movie scene-
Fmaj7 G C
I was running down the street in the pouring rain.
Fmaj7 G C C/B Am
Cause I found a love and lost it all in between
Am/F# Am/F G
Hello and goodbye, but I got the feeling one more time.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C
Cause when she goes, she goes, she goes.
Fmaj7 G C
When she goes, you should see her go
Fmaj7 G E7 Am
There’s no looking back, no shoulder glance
Fmaj7 G C
When she goes, she goes, she goes, she goes, she goes.
[Bridge]
E7 F
She’s so scared of being nowhere
C G
That someone’s going to try to tie her down.
Am F
And I’m so scared I‘ll never get there
F G
she’ll leave me stranded stuck her on the ground.
[Verse 4]
Fmaj7 G C
I found her by the gate by the big jet plane
Fmaj7 G C
waiting with a smile and a ticket with my name.
Fmaj7 G
She took my hands said “Don’t let go.
C C/B Am Am/F#
You know I don’t know how to take things slow.”
Am/F G
I said “I kno - w.”
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G C
Cause when she goes, she goes, she goes.
Fmaj7 G C
When she goes, you should see her go
Fmaj7 G
There’s no looking back, no shoulder glance
E7 Am
She takes my hand so happy with me
Fmaj7 G C
She goes, she goes, she goes,
Fmaj7 G
When she goes, she goes, she goes,
Fmaj7
When she goes,
G
she goes.
C G C
She goes.?
