Two Sets of Joneses
This song is a beautifully done acoustic piece. It has a great
message, and sounds great! I saw another version on the OLGA, but it
seemed all screwed up to me! (Sorry, Schrist913!) If you have any further
corrections, E-mail me at MrData9999@aol.com, or, is that one is dead, try
HomieG@juno.com. I take requests from almost any Christian group, and some
non-Christian as well. I WRITE THESE THINGS BY EAR, not using a computer.
It sounds great on a Gibson vintage-50s Model 703 (which I have!).
This song can be played without a capo, but it is played with one
on the 2nd fret in the music video on "Open All Nite", and with a capo
on
the 3th fret in the original album.

Wow! Did that look confusing? Here is a *simple* explination:
X - mute
/ - strum, as in a chord
H - hammer
P - pull-off
See? Oh, and if you have heard the song before, you'll know how
the tempo goes. And the strumming part - well...that's not "exactly" how
it
is in the song, but -- *you* try to figure that stuff out!! :) It
sounds good my way, however. Experiment! The chords above are the chord-forms,
which give the approprate notes.

Writing tab is harder than I thought!! Okay, this is what you
do.
Start on Chorus1, and sing what's under it (This here's a song...). than
repeat to the begining of the Chourus1, but when you get to where it
says
2nd time, skip the rest and go to Bridge1.
