This is the second collection of songs specifically aimed at group sessions on our
Guitar Retreats. This time we have been more adventurous and added more than
4 chords! There may even be some chords you have never seen before! We
wanted this book to appeal to a broad range of ages and tastes and incorporate
many different aspects of guitar based popular music. I think we have
accomplished that and there is something for everyone contained within. You will
find classics both old and new and a few unusual ones too. Many of them have
been road tested and voted on during our events in 2018/2019, some have yet to
pass that test! So I can’t wait to start playing and singing them together on
future retreats. This year is of special significance because it marks the 10th
anniversary of the first official Guitar Retreat, here’s to the next ten!
As before a huge thanks must go to David Lines for helping me to put it all
together. It’s not a small undertaking and involved many hours of editing and
correcting late into the night and sometimes very early in the morning!
Play on.....

All I Wanna Do
Sheryl Crow
Hit it (Bb7)-(A7)
This ain't no disco (Bb7)-(A7)
And it ain't no country club either (Bb7)-(A7)
This is L.A.
(E7)"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die"
says the (C) man next to me out of (D7) nowhere
(E7) It's apropos of nothing, he says his name is William
but I'm (C) sure he's Bill or Billy, or (D7) Mac or Buddy
and he's (E7) plain ugly to me,
and I wonder if he's ever had a (C) day of fun in his whole (D7) life
(E7) We are drinking beer at noon on a Tuesday
in a (C) bar that faces a giant (D7) car wash
(E7) The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break (C) hosing and scrubbing
As (D7) best they can, in skirts and suits
(Bb7)-(A7) They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
(Bb7)-(A7) Back to the phone company and the record store too
(Bb7)-(A7) But they're nothing like Billy and me,
Chorus
Cause all I wanna (E7) do is have some fun,
I got a (C) feeling that I'm not the (D7) only one,
All I wanna (E7) do is have some fun,
I got a (C) feeling that I'm not the (D7) only one
All I wanna (E7) do is have some fun,
Until the (C) sun comes up over (B7) Santa Monica boule-(E7)-vard
(E7) (C) (D7)
(E7) I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
and (C) Billy likes to peel the labels from his (D7) bottles of Bud
(E7) He shreds them on the bar, then he lights every match in an oversized
(C) pack, letting each one (D7) burn, down to his
(E7) thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out
(C) and he's watching the bottles of (D7) Bud as they spin on the floor,
(Bb7)-(A7) and a happy couple enters the bar
(Bb7)-(A7) dangerously close to one another,
(Bb7)-(A7) the bartender looks up from his want ads,
