In The Ghetto The Moon Is In The Gutter Cabin Fever! -------------------- This is as far as I can tell mainly bass, I don't hear a lot of guitar. But, you can play the power chords or just the low E and it sounds fine. The guitar/bass doesn't match up a lot in this song so listen to it and put the pieces together where it sounds right. First main riff: Low E--2-2-2-2-2-2-2------2-2-2-2-2-2-2- over and over then Second main riff: Low E--7-6-5-4 sometimes once sometimes twice There is a change in the song on "Done is the missing all that remains.." and "Tallys up his lonliness..." where the music plays Low E--2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2--3-3-3-3-3-3----10-10-10-10-10-10Table of Contents

From Her To Eternity -------------------- Slide up from A to B and occasionally slide down and back, for the course of the song. There is a bass riff I can't get down, but the piano riff that goes in at odd intervals goes something like this on guitar: E-10-9-5-2---12-11-7-4---15-14-10-12-14-14-14Table of Contents
In The Ghetto -------------------- [A] As the snow flies... On a [C#m7] cold and grey Chicago morning A [D] poor little baby [E7] child is born in the [A] ghetto And his [A] mamma cries... 'Cos if [C#m7] there's one thing that she don't need It is [D] another hungry [E7] mouth to feed in the [A] ghetto People dont you [E] understand The child needs a [D] helping [A] hand [D] he's gonna grow tobe an [E] angry young man some [A]day Take a look at [E] you and me Are we too [D] blind to [A] see Or [D] do we simply [C#m] turn our heads and [Bm] look the other [E7] way Well, the world turns.. And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto And his hunger burns... So he starts to roam the streets at night And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto [E] Then one night in desperation the [D] young man breaks [A] away He [D] buys a gun, he [C#m7] steals a car, He [Bm] tries to run but he [E7] don't get far And his mamma cries... As a crowd gathers round an angry young man Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto And as her young man dies... On a cold and grey Chicago morning [D] Another little baby [E7] child is born in the [A] ghetto...Table of Contents
