A lovely tune to strum to! :)

Crying Eyes (J.J. Cale)

Ok, not much to go with,...
but I'll throw it out there, maybe somebody has more and can comment... :)

F# all the way through except:

I get so lonely, [B]lonely, [A]lonely
It ain't [F#]easy

intro takes of like this: 
E:------5---5-5s7---
B:-s7-7---7---------
...which basically spells out a F# minor pentatonic scale 

(here tabbed in what some call the Box #2). 

Low Rider (J.J. Cale)

[See Matteo's comment for corrections! :) ]

Key of F#(m) again...

Intro start off:
---5---------------
-7---7-5-----------
---------6-4-4-2-4~
-------------------
-------------------
-------------------

[F#5]She is my [B5]low rider
[F#5]She is my [B5]low rider
[F#5]Some say she's [A5]bad, but she's [Ab5]better than [F#5]no rider

(I am not 100% on the last line of this progression though... so any help/ideas?)

Stone River (J.J. Cale)

As per request from Ray, here's the Stone River song. He's released two versions.  You can hear them back to back here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFOzPY_ZF0c I am basing my post here on the version you hear on the vid first, the version that sounds basically just acoustic guitar and organ.

Anyway, sounds like the key of F# minor.

The intro licks are using the F#m pentatonic (like on 9th fret on e string and then playing around the 5th and 7th frets on B and e strings).

Intro is F#m chord, except for a drop to A at around 19.5s and then to B and then back to F#m. .

For the verse it's just the F#m chord, except for a quick stab to B once in a while:
[F#m]Water ain't runnin' no more[B][F#m]

This is the chorus progression:
[F#m]Man he done [B]cut if off
And [F#m]moved it all [B]around

The outro is a bit like this (still the same F# minor pentatonic as before):
--------------------------
-s7---5-------------------
----6---6-4-2--2----------
-----------------4--------
-------------------2-2H4--
-------------------------2

Doctor Told Me (J.J. Cale)

This one is simple and not all that memorable. It's a 12-bar blues with the first 4 bars doubled... so a 16-bar blues, then...?

F#5  x  8
B5 B5 F#5 F#5
C#5 B5 F#5 F#5

"Takin' Care Of Business" (J.J. Cale)

The #8 album has some nice suprises. I never liked the album, really, sounds thinner (due to first time digital recording?) and all that.


Anyway, this one's a nice little boogie number that introduces the band members, so wonder why he doesn't play this live much?


Key: F#.The intro is mostly the F# minor pentatonic.


Chords are:

[B]Tim Drummond's on bass, Jim Keltner's on the [F#]drums

[B]They'll put it right on you for a shot of [F#]rhum

[B]I'll tell you right now it's a [F#]funky [C#]beat
[A]Downtown, [Ab(m)]takin' care of [F#]business on the street

The main part:
F#m (at 2nd fret, fingerpicked in a sort of a Merle Travis way)
A A B

...I do it approximately like this, I play it very loosely, so almost like strumming instead of fingerpicking:
-2----------2----------------
---2---(2)----2----x--2-2-4--
-------(2)---------x--2-2-4--
--------4--------4-x---------
------------4---------0-0-2--
-2---------------------------

(Travis picking = the three bass strings with thumb, the notes in brackets brushed with thumb)
the xxx means just a muted down strum as an accent.

...there is a move between F# and E notes there...
so I guess you could play it so that you first play the barre F#m, then lift off the barre, to play the open 1st string...
...or something...

break part:
A E G (for example open cowboy chords)
D A E (at fifth - seventh fret, so the E is higher one)
A E G
D A
