Band: M=94tley Cr=81e Song: Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) Album: Dr. Feelgood Year: 1989
Here's a song I didn't see in OLGA. It's not new, but since I've grabbed s= o many of the great posts in alt.guitar.tab (and from OLGA), I felt I should= =20 make a contribution of my own. It's one of my favorite Cr=81e tunes. =20
I don't have the intro worked out; maybe someone else would post it? Sound= s=20 like he's picking through the C, Dm, and F, but I'm not sure enough about= =20 it to say for certain. If anyone else is, I'd like a copy!
Chord progression for the verse is C-Dm-F-C, and for the chorus is Bb-F-C.
C =3D x32010 Dm =3D xx0231 F =3D 133211 Bb =3D x13331 G = =3D 355433
Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) by M=94tley Cr=81e
We could sail away or catch a freight train
Or a rocket ship into outer space
Nothin' left to do too many things were said
To ever make it feel like yesterday did
Seasons must change, separate paths, separate ways
If we blame it anything, let's blame it on the rain
I knew it all along, I'd have to write this song
To young to fall in love, guess we knew it all along
Chorus:
That's alright, that's OK
We were walkin' through some youth, smilin' through some pain
That's alright, that's OK C :- (go back to verse progression with this C) Let's turn the page
My friends called today, down from L.A. They were shootin' pool all night and sleepin' half the day They said I could crash if I could find my own way I told them you were leaving on a bus to go away
That's alright, that's OK We were two kids in love tryin' to find our way That's alright, that's OK Held our dreams in our hands, let our minds run away That's alright, that's OK We were walkin' through some youth, smilin' through some pain That's alright, let's turn the page
And remember what I say, and it goes this way
Girl, don't go away mad (sing this part with the ending chord F C progression that follows) Girl, just go away!
I'm not really great at chord names, so I'll tab out the ending part, but= =20 the root chords are bar C, D, & F chords with a little pinky action on the= =20 B string (whatever that chord is).
