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