If It Makes You Happy Sheryl Crow
The key to getting this song to sound just like the original is to play a standard
G chord with fingers 1, 2 & 3 and then use finger 4 (index) to tap on and off fret
1 string 2 then again fret 2 string 3 (verses only, not the chorus). Listen to the
song to get the feel for the strum and the tap on/off timing. Itâ??ll come to you
easily enough â?¦ enjoy!
[G]I've been long, a long way from here[G]
[G]Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
G C*
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
[G]We went searching through thrift store jungles[G]
[G]Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
G C*
And Benny Goodman's corset and fan
Well, o.k. I made this u[D]pâ?¦ I[C] promised you I'd never give [D]up
If it makes you[Am] happy [C] it can't be that [G]ba-aa-aa-ad[D]
If it makes you ha[Am]ppy [C]then why the hell are you so sad[G]?
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed; scr*pe the mold off the bread,
And serve you French toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stonedâ?¦ I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
Chorus
[G]We've been far, far away from here[G]
[G]Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
G C*
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along[D]â?¦ s[C]o what if right now everything's w[D]rong?
Chorus & close
C* - this particular C chord is played similarly to the preceding G chord with
your pinky on the string 1; G note (fret 3). When changing from the preceding G
chord merely drop fingers 2 and 3 one string down
