BE MY NUMBER TWO        Joe Jackson

This is just a simple try to adapt this lovley piano-based
ballad to the guitar. If you need it, I maybe could write
down and mail you the tabs as I play it, but firstgive it a go
and work out your own..

INTRO

F Bb C F Bb C am7 gm7 C dm7 C

F Bb C F Bb C am7 gm7 C dm7 C


Verses:


F                    Bb  C
  Won't you be my number two

F                  Bb C
  Being number one or trough (?)

am7                  gm7     C
  There won't be too much to do

       dm7               C
  just smile when I feel blue

F                           Bb C
  And there's not much left of me

F                      Bb  C
  What you get is what you see

am7               gm7 C
  Is it worth the energy

    dm7            C
  I leave it up to you


Break:

Bb    F          C            F
  And if you got something to say to me

Bb      F          C        F
  Don't try to lay off only weights on me

Bb  F              C          F
  I know that it's really not fair of me

  Bb9                C9
  But my heart seemed too much action

F                       Bb C
  And every time I look at you

F                      Bb  C
  you'll be who I want you to

am7                gm7   C
  And I'll do what I can do

     dm7             C        Bb^6
  To make a dream or two come true

            Bb^6             gm7    F
  if you be my, if you be my number two.


F Bb C F Bb C am7 gm7 C dm7 C

End:

Bb^6 gm7 gm7/c F^79


Chords:

F:        Bb:        C:

e|--1--------x-----------x---|
b|--1--------3-----------5---|
g|--2--------3-----------5---|
d|--3--------3-----------5---|
a|--3--------1-----------3---|
e|--1--------x-----------x---|


Use these chords for the first two lines of each verse and
the break.
The am7, gm7 and dm7 in the rest of each verse are:


am7:   gm7:    dm7:
e|--x------x-------x-------|
b|--5------3-------10------|
g|--5------3-------10------|
d|--5------3-------10------|
a|--x------x-------x-------|
e|--5------3-------10------|


For last C in each verse I take an upper position:

   C:
e|-----x-------------------|
b|-----8-------------------|
g|-----9-------------------|
d|-----10------------------|
a|-----x-------------------|
e|-----8-------------------|

The Bb9 and the C9 in the end of the break are:

Bb9:         C9:

e|--x-----------x---|
b|--1-----------3---|
g|--3-----------5---|
d|--3-----------5---|
a|--1-----------3---|
e|--x-----------x---|


So you finally need the chords I play in the end of the Song.
I end up in the 10th position (dm7) and progress in a downward
movement in an ending-sequence to a finally F^7/9:


Play the dm7 at the 10th and the C at the 8th position. Go
down two frets to the 6th position and try a Bbmajor6 like
this:

   Bb^6:
e|---------x--------|
b|---------6--------|
g|---------7--------|
d|---------5--------|
a|---------x--------|
e|---------6--------|

In the ending sequence I use the already mentioned gm7 after which I go over a gm7
add C on b-string

Here's my favorite Joe Jackson tune, as close as I can get it.
I'm not sure about the G/A and G/B in the chorus, but I can't
find anything else close.  I believe the rest is right after
seeing Joe a couple of times in 91.  Listen to the tune to get
the struming pattern down -  its not as easy as it looks.
Correct as needed.

Joe Jackson - Blaze of Glory

Verse 1

G                  D   G            D

Johnny was a young boy with nothing much

                      F           C     F C
But a certain kind of look in his eyes

G                     D   G
He was discovered one day seems he had

          D         F               C     F  C
a certain appeal to certain kind of guys

G             D      G           D
Gave him some advice and set him out

            F           C    F   C
To make the young girls cry

G                  D   G              D
And all the young boys being dumb and restless

     F           C    F C
They could identify


Prechorus

D                          Asus2    F
So tell me who'll take the blame


For the way things turned out

Verse 2 - same pattern as 1st

Well six long months passed and Johnny
was the hottest thing alive
We loved Johnny and we owned Johnny
Nobody knew how Johnny felt inside
But Johnny was beautiful he was like a God
We all went along for the ride
The ride started to go too fast
Johnny just conviently died


Prechorus 2(same as 1st)
And he went up in flames
He did what he had to do


Chorus

F        G         G/A G/B   D
And they say its a trag-ic   story

        F                C   F C
He just wasn't there one day

            G        G/A   G/B  D
But he went out in a blaze of   glory

F           C  F              C    Asus2
And you and I, you and I just fade away

Verse 3 - same as other two
Well now days there's lots of guys like Johnny
They got it all worked out, like working nine to five
But they're all cartoons, they all think they're superman
But they can't even fly
They say that Johnny's ghost walks down in Memphis
Wehn the moon is full and high
And I wonder if he sees these jokers
I wonder if he laughs or if he cries

Prechorus - same
Now he's an angel in flames
but what about you and me.

Chorus twice

I'M THE MAN
Joe Jackson

            E
Pretty soon now
                         A   E
Y'know I'm gonna make a comeback
              D             A           E
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
                  B    Am
It's a sure-fire smash
       E
I'll speak
                            A  E
To the masses throught the media
                  D         A     E
And if you got anything to say to me
                     B
You can say it with cash
C#m               A       C#m           A
'cause I got the trash and you got the cash
E                           B
so baby we should get along fine
C#m                   A            C#m                 A
so give me all your money 'cause I know you think I'm funny
B
Can't you hear me laughing
  D               A
Can't you see me smile

CHORUS
         E            A            D           A
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
         E        A            D    A
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
         E            A            D            A
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
         E         A           D
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Kung fu
That was one of my good ones
Well what's a few broken bones
When we all know it's good clean fun
Skateboards
I've almost made them respectable
You see I can't always get through to you
So I go for your son
I had a giant rubber shark and it really made a mark
Didja looka looka lookit alla blood
Give me all your money etc.

CHORUS

Right Now
I think I'm gonna plan a new trend
Because the line on the graph's getting low
And we can't have that
And you think you're immune
But I can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety pin
To a pork pie hat
'Cause I got the trash etc.

CHORUS

Capo 1 

Intro: C#m7 D E7sus   
       A E G D }x2

 A      E          G                D               A E G D
Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street. 
 A        E            G               D            A E G D
 From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold.
 A          E
Look over there! (Where?) 
 G          D           A      E  G D
There's a lady that I used to know. 
 A              E       G                     D         A E G D
She's married now, or engaged, or something, so I am told. 

Chorus: 
 D                  E         A
Is she really going out with him? 
 D                  C#m      F#m    E   D
Is she really gonna take him home tonight? 
 D                   E        F#m
Is she really going out with him? 
              D
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,  
          E                            A E G D
There's something going wrong around here. 
Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street. 
I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth. 
Look over there! (Where?) 
Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend. 
They say that looks don't count for much. 
If so, there goes your proof. 

Chorus 

        A  E  G  D
Around here 
 C#m7                 D             E7sus    
But if looks could kill, there's a man there 
        F#7sus        C#m7
who's marked out as dead. 
                     D            E7sus 
'Cause I've had my fill, "Listen you, 
         F#7sus         C#m7
take your hands off her head!" 
           D               E7sus  F#7sus   E7sus F#7sus E7sus
I get so mean around this scene!  Hey, hey, hey. 

A E G D }x2

Chorus 

         A    E    G                D
'Round here       Something goin' wrong 
         A    E    G                D
Around here       Something goin' wrong 
         A    E    G                D
Around here       Something goin' wrong 
         A    E    G                D
Around here       Something goin' wrong 
       (NC)

What the hell is wrong with you tonight?
G               F/G                 Em     Em-D-G
I can't seem to say or do the right thing
G            F/G                  G
Wanted to be sure you're feeling right
G            F/G                    Em     Em-D-G
Wanted to be sure we want the same thing

C   G     G G     G  C    G
She says, I can't believe it
Em  Bm              Em   Bm

Don't we, all want the same thing
Em    Bm
Don't we

Don't you know that it's different for girls?
Bb      C       Bb
You're all the same
G etc.
Mama always told me save yourself
Take a little time and find the right girl
Then again don't end up on the shelf
Logical advice gets yo in a whirl

I know, a lot of things that
You don't you wanna hear some
She said, just give me something
Anything
Well give me all you got but not love
No not love she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
You're all the same

you change the note.

           E |---|---|---|---| 9th position
             |-1-|---|---|---|
             |-1-|---|---|---|
             |-1-|---|---|-4-|
             |---|---|---|---|
             |---|---|---|---|

I do not know exactly what is going on but it is the same idea: keep playing the chord but change 1 note 
lifting the 4th finger and putting it on the string again.


I hope this will help.
Raymond

			Real Men - Joe Jackson


INTRO Bb   C     Bb   C   Bb   C


1)	Dm                  C            F
	Take your mind back, I don't know when.

	C                 Dm               C              Bb
	Sometimes when it always seemed to be just us and them.

	Dm                    C              F
	Girls that wore pink, boys that wore blue.

	C                Dm             C               Bb
	Boys that always grew up better men than me and you.

2)	What's a men now, what's a man mean.
	Is he rough or is he rugged is he cultural and clean.
	Now it's all change, it's got to change more,
	'cause we think it's getting better but nobody's really sure.


	     Bb           C     Bb       C
CHORUS :	And so it goes, go round again,

		    Bb      C       Bb     C       F    G   A
		but now and then we wonder who the real men are.


	  	A	G	A	G
		Fm	Am	Bb	C	Bb	C


3)	See the nice boys, dancing in pairs.
	Golden earring, golden tan, blow-wave in the hair.
	Sure they're all straight, straight as a line,
	all the gays are macho, can't you see their leather shine.


4)	You don't want to sound dumb, don't want to offend.
	So don't call me a faggot, not unless you are a friend.
	Then if you're tall, and handsome and strong,
	you can wear the uniform and I could play along.


CHORUS


5)	Time to get scared, time to change plan.
	Don't know how to treat a lady, don't know how to be a man.
	Time to admit, what you call defeat
	'cause there's women running pasture now, and you just drag your feet.

6)	Man makes a gun, man goes to war,
	man can kill, man can drink and man can take a whore.
	Kill all the blacks, kill all the reds,
	and there's war between the sexes and there'll be no people left.

CHORUS

Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson

Intro: F#maj7, Emaj7/F#, Bmaj9, F#m7, B, E, B, D/F#, E, A/C#, E

F#
Now,
E     D                             E                         F#
The mist across the window hides the lines
E     D                            E
But nothing hides the color
            C#m         D
Of the lights that shine
E      C#m      D
Electricity so fine
                   E
Look and dry your eyes

(Repeat Inro)

We
So tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say
Can come alive
Get into a car and drive to the other side

Chorus
F#maj7              EMaj7/F#   Bmaj9
Me babe,  steppin out
F#m7 B    E           B
In       to    the        night
D/F#    E        A/C#        E
In          to         the          light

You babe, steppin out
Into the night
Into the light

We
are young but getting old before our time
We'll leave the T.V. and the radio behind
Don't you wonder what we'll find
Steppin out tonight

(Repeat intro)

You
Can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We'll be ther in just a while
If you follow me

(Chorus)
