Be My Number Two  Joe Jackson

 

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] Won't you be my num[Bb]ber [C]two
[F] Being number one [Bb]or [C]trough (?)
am7 gm7 C
There won't be too much to do
just [dm7]smile when I feel [C]blue
[F] And there's not much left [Bb]of [C]me
[F] What you get is what [Bb]you [C]see
am7 gm7 C
Is it worth the energy
I [dm7]leave it up to [C]you
Break:
[Bb] And [F]if you got [C]something to [F]say to me
[Bb] Don't [F]try to lay [C]off only [F]weights on me
[Bb] I [F]know that it's [C]really not [F]fair of me
[Bb9]But my heart seemed[C9] too much action
[F] And every time I look [Bb]at [C]you
[F] you'll be who I want [Bb]you [C]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
