Okie (J.J. Cale)

This one is in Eb. I assume this was played tuned down a fret, but here is what I managed to "transcribe" for the first 12s in standard tuning:

------------------------
--------------------7---
--------------8-6-8-----
-4h5-6---6-8------------

Crying (J.J. Cale)

Not many would kick off an album with this sad and simple "reggae" ditty...?

Anyway, not much for me to say, but I'll say it anyway.

To me this just stays on the one... which is Gm, upstrummed on the high strings (like xxx333, for example).

The bas(s)ic bass riff is:
G.. D.. F G x
...where the x denotes a muted note.

The Old Man And Me

Haven't got much on this, but just to mark a celebration here:
If I have my stats right, I started of with a list of 69 * 2 = 138 JJ songs to tab... and now have tabbed (to some extent) exactly half of them!

Anyway: Old man and me.

This just stays on Bb chord with alternating bass (Bb and F alternating). You can take a Bb barre chord at first or sixth fret and alternate between the 6th and fifth strings (with strums in between)

The solo bit at around 1min into the song is Bb major pentatonic, I think, and starts approximately like this:
---1~----------
-3-------------
------5-3-0-3--
---------------
---------------
---------------

Starbound

This is in C, and I don't hear any changes, just C all the way through.  (SEE COMMENTS FOR SUGGESTION THAT IT'S MORE LIKELY FMAJ7 CMAJ7)


This is the intro (C major pentatonic):
-8p5---5~--8p5-8-10--10-12-12---8p5---5~-8-5--5-----
-----8-----------------------------8------------8-8--

-----------------------------------------------------

-8p5---5~---12p10p8-10'-12-12----10-12-12-

Everlovin' woman

This is a quick one, hope it's correct:

[B]I've got a woman, I love her, lordy lord
She cooks my breakfast on Sunday, just like my ma
[E]I hang my hat in her house, she don't charge a dime
[B]Love me, trust me, never cuss me, you know she's mine
[F#]I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking in rhyme
[B]I'm talking 'bout that everlovin' woman of mine

Oh, yeah, I hope I haven't "tabbed" it before... I forget!

"I'd like to love you baby"

This one's mostly just the E chord (I play it on the 7th or the 12th fret). The bass line for this main part is E, E, B / E, E, B, D, E... (where the E is the highest note, seventh fret A string)...

At the end of a verse of lyrics (after I'd like to love you baby and keep my other baby too), there's always the instrumental bridge thingy. The chords go A - E, A - E for that. 

Great solo thingies, yes. No time for  that. The intro plays around with 12th (D) and 14th (E) fret on D-string. Solos from E minor pentatonic.

"Precious memories"

The most country song he ever made, maybe. Just love the choir of JJ voices. You'd think all country songs are in C or G, maybe in A. But no, this one's in B...

The lyrics are from jjcale.org... but I wonder if that's what he really sings? The lyrics delivery is fuzzy... never thought about it... always had teh lyrics very clear in my mind... but... well... I guess they just weren't that clear in my mind... Is it "well, I travel" or "As I travel"... so I always thought...

[B]Hell, I travel [E]on life's pathways
[B]Know not what the years may [F#]hold
[B]Hell, I've wandered, [E]oh, grows fonder
[B]Precious memories [F#]flood my [B]soul
and the same progression repeats...

intro:

--------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------7------------------------5-4--5s7--------
----------------6s8----8s6-4-6-4-^6-4-6-----------------------
---9---9---11-9-------------------------6-9-------------------
-9---9---9----------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------2-4-6-7

so that's playing around the B major pentatonic again, slides up to and down from third again for that country sound. And I hear a pre-bend down from third to the sixth fret of G string (= second interval of B), notated as ^6 in the above tab.

Then there's the country style walk ups to chords, like the end of that intro, walking up the B major scale to the note of B.
