'Anything But Down' by Crow Sheryl - Guitar Tutorial
Gtp chords: Anything But Down
Song lyrics:
Artist: Sheryl Crow
Song: Anything But Down
Album: The Globe Sessions.
Tabbed by Gemini.
Hi there! This is the first time that I'm tabbing, so bear with me.
I am also a musician and maybe someday you'll be tabbing my
songs…. (hey, wishful thinking never hurt anyone!). Well, here goes:
Tuning: standard (E A D G B e)
There are parts for two guitars here, but it sounds ok if you play only Guitar
1's (G1) part too, which is what I do. Or if you can find
a friend then they can play Guitar 2 (G2), a lead.
Weird chords:

Em D Am C
I light your cigarette, I bring you apples from the vine
Em D Am C
How quickly you forget, I run the bath and pour the wine
Em F#/A C
I bring you everything that floats into your mind
G D Am C
Now you don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 3)
Em
When you come round
Em D Am C
You are a raging sea, I pull myself out everyday
Em D Am C
I plea insanity, ‘cause I can't leave and I can't stay
Em F#/A C
You say won’t you come find me and yes is what I’ll say
G D Am C
You don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 2)
Em D Am C
And everything is crashing to the ground
G D
Maybe I'm not the perfect kind
Am C
Maybe I’m not what you had in mind
G Am C
And maybe we’re just killing time
inst. (G1) G D Am C G D Am

e |---3s7---8---10---12s5---3h5p3h5---7---8---10---12s5---5p3---3h5---3s0---|
(high e, the thinnest string)
Em D Am C
You with your silky words, and your eyes of green and blue
Em D Am C
You with your steel beliefs that don’t match anything you do
Em F#/A C
You were so much easier before you became you.
G D Am C
You don’t bring me anything but down. (repeat x 2)
G D Am C
And everything just crashes to the ground.
G D Am C
When you come around.
G Am C
When you come around ..
G D
Well no more playing seek and hide,
Am C
No more long and wasted nights,
G D Am C
Can't you make it easy on yourself.
G D
Well I know you wish you were strong,
Am C
You wish you were never wrong,
G D Am (end by strumming once down on the Am cord.)
Well I got some wishes of my own.
