Blowin' in the wind
Great song! enjoy it!
How many roads must a man walk down
6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6 5 -4 4
Before you call him a man?
5 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
5 -5 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6 5 -4 4
Before she sleeps in the sand?
5 6 5 -5 -5 5 -4
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
5 -5 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6 5 -4 4
Before they're forever banned?
5 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 5 5 -4 4
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 4 -3 4
Solo : -5 5 -4 5 -4 4 -5 6 -5 4 -5 4
or : -5 5 -4 5 -4 4 -5 5 -5 4 -5 4
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

L'estaca
This is another of my own tabs. L'estaca is a song composed by the Catalan artist Lluís Llach in 1968 and translated into several languages. It's a protest song and a call for unity of action to achieve freedom. Enjoy it!
-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7’ -6'
L'avi Siset em parlava
7 7 7 7 -7’ -6 -7’__-7
de bon matí al portal
-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7’ -6’
mentre el sol esperàvem
-6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 -6’__-6
i els carros vèiem passar.
----
-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7’ -6’
Siset, que no veus l'estaca
7 7 7 7 -7’ -6 -7’_-7
on estem tots lligats?
-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7’ -6’
Si no podem desfer-nos-en
-6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 -6’__-6
mai no podrem caminar!
####
7’ -7’ -6’ 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
Si estirem tots, ella caurà
7 -7 -6 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
i molt de temps no pot durar,
-6 -7 7 -8 -7__-7 -8 -7 8 7__7
segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
-7 -6 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
ben corcada deu ser ja.
---
7’ -7’ -6’ 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
Si jo l'estiro fort per aquí
7 -7 -6 5 6 -7’ 6 -6'
i tu l'estires fort per allà,
-6 -7 7 -8 -7__-7 -8 -7 8 7__7
segur que tomba, tomba, tomba,
-7 -6 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
i ens podrem alliberar.
####
Però, Siset, fa molt temps ja,
les mans se'm van escorxant,
i quan la força se me'n va
ella és més ampla i més gran.
Ben cert sé que està podrida
però és que, Siset, pesa tant,
que a cops la força m'oblida.
Torna'm a dir el teu cant:
Si estirem tots, ella caurà...
Si jo l'estiro fort per aquí...
L'avi Siset ja no diu res,
mal vent que se l'emportà,
ell qui sap cap a quin indret
i jo a sota el portal.
I mentre passen els nous vailets
estiro el coll per cantar
el darrer cant d'en Siset,
el darrer que em va ensenyar.
Si estirem tots, ella caurà...
Si jo l'estiro fort per aquí...

Midnight Special
Today I'm doing a train trip, actually traveling to Cold Spring Harbor in NY... so, what best than this great song from CCR?
-6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -5
Well, you wake up in the mornin',
-5 6 6 -5 -4 4
You hear the work bell ring,
4 4 -4 -4 4 4 -6 6
And they march you to the ta-ble,
6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
To see the same old thing.
-6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -5
Ain't no food u-pon the table,
6 6 -5 -5 -4 -4 4
Aint no pork up in the pan.
4 4 -4 -4 4 4 -6 6
But you better not complain, boy,
6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 -4 -5
You get in trouble with the man.
CHORUS
-6 6 -6 -5 6 -5
Let the Midnight Special,
6 6 -5 -4 4
Shine a light on me,
4 4 -4 4 -6 6
Let the Midnight Special,
-6 6 -6 6 -5
Shine a light on me,
-6 6 -6 -5 6 -5
Let the Midnight Special,
6 6 -5 -4 4
Shine a light on me,
4 4 -4 4 -6 6
Let the Midnight Special,
-6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
Shine a e--verlo-vin' light on me.
Yonder come miss Rosie,
How in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron,
And the clothes she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder,
Piece of paper in her hand;
She come to see the gov'nor,
She wants to free her man.
CHORUS
If you're ever in Houston,
Well, you better do the right;
You better not gamble,
You better not fight,
Or the sheriff he'll grab ya,
And the boys will bring you down.
The next thing you know, boy,
Oh! You're prison bound.

(English version)
Catalonia triumphant
Shall once again be rich and bountiful,
Drive them back, those people
So conceited and so arrogant.
A good blow with the sickle,
A good blow with the sickle,
Defenders of the land!
A good blow with the sickle!
Now is the time, reapers,
Now is the time to be alert.
For when another June comes,
Let us sharpen our tools well.
A good blow with the sickle,
A good blow with the sickle,
Defenders of the land!
A good blow with the sickle!

(Spanish version)
El hombre del piano:
Esta es la historia de un sábado
de no importa que mes,
y de un hombre sentado al piano
de no importa que viejo café.Toma el vaso y le tiemblan las manos,
apestando entre humo y sudor,
y se agarra a su tabla de naufrago
volviendo a su eterna canción.Toca otra vez, viejo perdedor,
haces que me sienta bien,
es tan triste la noche que tu canción
sabe a derrota y a miel.Cada vez que el espejo en la pared
le devuelve más joven la piel,
se le encienden los ojos y su niñez
viene a tocar junto a él.Pero siempre hay borrachos con babas,
que le recuerdan quien fue,
el más joven maestro al piano
vencido por una mujer.Ella siempre temió echar raíces,
que pudieran sus alas cortar
y en la jaula metida, la vida se le iba
y quiso sus fuerzas probar.No lamenta que de malos pasos,
aunque nunca desea su mal,
pero a ratos, con furia,
golpea el piano y algunos que le han visto llorar.El micrófono huele a cerveza
y el calor se podría cortar,
solitarios oscuros, buscando pareja
apurándose un sábado más.Hay un hombre aferrado a un piano
la emoción empapada en alcohol,
y una voz que le dice:
"pareces cansado, y aun, no salido ni el sol".

Red river valley (La vall del riu vermell)
6 7 8 8 -8 7SOURCE
From this valley they say
-8 7 -6 7
you are going,
6 7 8 7 8 9
We will miss your bright eyes
-9 8 -8
and sweet smile,
9 -9 8 8 -8 7 -8
For they say you are taking
8 9 -9
the sun-shine
-6 -6 6 -7
That has brightened
7 -8 8 -8 7
our pathway awhile.
chorus
Come and sit by my side, if you love me,
Do not hasten to bid me adieu,
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true.
---------------
My particular tab of this song that fits well with the Catalan version (La vall del riu vermell). Also, playing both versions consecutively sounds very nice.
3 4 5 5 5 5 -4 5 -4 4
Trobarem a faltar el teu somriure,
3 4 5 -4 5 6 -5 5 -4
dius que ens deixes te'n vas lluny d'aquí
6 -5 5 -4 4 4 -4 5 6 -5
però el record de la vall on vas viure
-6 -6 6 -7 7 -8 8 -8 7
no l'esborra la pols del camí.
El teu front duu la llum de l'albada,
ja no solquen dolors ni treballs
i el vestit amarat de rosada
és vermell com el riu de la vall.
Quan arribis a dalt la carena
mira el riu i la vall que has deixat
i aquest cor que ara guarda la pena
tan amarga del teu comiat.

This land is your land
*Note: play either row, lower or higher octaves. Both options sound good!
Chorus:
4 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 4 -4 5 5 <-- Lower octave
7 -8 8 -9 -9 -9 7 -8 8 8 <-- Higher octave
This land is your land, this land is my land.
3 4 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 -4 5 5
6 7 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 -8 8 8
From California, to the New York Island.
4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 4 -4 5 5
7 7 -8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9 7 -8 8 8
From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters.
-4 -4 -4 -3 3 -3 -4 4
-8 -8 -8 -7 6 -7 -8 7
This land was made for you and me.
As I was walking a ribbon of highway. I saw above me an endless skyway.
I saw below me a golden valley. This land was made for you and me.
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps.
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts.
And all around me a voice was sounding. This land was made for you and me.
Chorus
The sun comes shining as I was strolling.
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling.
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting: This land was made for you and me.
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there. And that sign said - no tress passin'.
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that sign was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people.
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)

Oh Susanna
4-4 5 6 6-6 6 5
I came from Al-a-bam-a

with my ban-jo on my knee;
4-4 5 6 6 -6 6 5
I'm goin' to Lou-'si-an-a

M-y true love for to see.
4-4 5 6 6 -6 6 5 4
I-t rained all night the day I left

The weath-er it was dry;

Th-e sun so hot I froze to death,

Su-san-na, don't you cry.

4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 4
with my ban-jo on my knee.
I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill,
The red, red rose was in her hand, the tear was in her eye,
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry.
I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground
But if I do not find you there, then I will surely die
And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry.
Oh, Susanna,Oh don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

Lyrics of the FC Barcelona's anthem in English
The whole stadium
loudly cheers
We’re the blue and claret supporters
It matters not where we hail from
Whether it's the south or the north
Now we all agree, we all agree,
One flag unites us in brotherhood.
Blue and claret blowing in the wind
One valiant cry
We’ve got a name that everyone knows:
Barça, Barça, Baaarça!
Players, Supporters
United we are strong.
We’ve achieved much over the years,
We’ve shouted many goals
And we have shown, we have shown,
That no one can ever break us.
Blue and claret blowing in the wind
One valiant cry
We’ve got a name that everyone knows:
Barça, Barça, Baaarça!

Ja partí el rei de França
un dilluns al de matí.
Va partir per prendre Espanya
i els espanyols be l'han pris.
Ja partí el rei de França
un dilluns al de matí.
Posant-lo en presó molt fosca
on no es coneix dia i nit.
Treu el cap per la finestra
i un passatger veu venir.
Posant-lo en presó molt fosca
on no es coneix dia i nit.
Digueu-li a la meva esposa
que en vingui a treure d'aquí:
Si no hi ha prou diner a França
que vagin a Sant Denís.
Digueu-li a la meva esposa
que en vingui a treure d'aquí:
Que venguin la conxa d'or,
que venguin la flor de lis.
Si no hi ha prou diner en bossa
que vagin a Sant Patrís.
Que venguin la conxa d'or,
que venguin la flor de lis.

12 Bar Blues
The 12 bar blues is played in most blues songs. It's small, smart, simple and brilliant! The bends don't need to be played but the blues sounds much nicer.
Riff1: 3,4,-3',3
Riff2: 4,4,-3,4
Riff3: 3,-3',4,-4''
These riffs should be played in the following order:
Riff1 (x4), Riff2 (x2), Riff1 (x2), Riff3 (x1), Riff2 (x1), Riff1 (x2). Repeat
