Be My Number Two

Joe Jackson

 FBbC
   Won't you be my number two

 FBbC
   Being number one or trough (?)

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

 dm7C
  just smile when I feel blue

 FBbC
   And there's not much left of me

 FBbC
   What you get is what you see

am7 gm7 C
Is it worth the energy

 dm7C
  I leave it up to you

Break:

 BbFCF
   And if you got something to say to me

 BbFCF
   Don't try to lay off only weights on me

 BbFCF
   I know that it's really not fair of me

 Bb9C9
  But my heart seemed too much action

 FBbC
   And every time I look at you

 FBbC
   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 at first position,

gm7/C:
e|---------x---------|
b|---------1---------|
g|---------3---------|
d|---------3---------|
a|---------x---------|
e|---------3---------|


to the last chord, a F major7/9:

F^7/9:
e|---------0---------|
b|---------1---------|
g|---------0---------|
d|---------3---------|
a|---------x---------|
e|---------1---------|


I hope you like it and enjoy... Juergen
