Be My Number Two

From: * (Juergen Helmers)


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

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.

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
