Drive By by Train
Drive By
Notes*:
-the key is C#m (same notes as E major)
-The guitar strums on the off beat
when the kick drum doesn't play
-There's a lot of varied chord voices but my favorite way to
play it when you have two guitar players (like in my band) is
to have one guitar player transpose down 9 half-steps and play
with a capo on the 9th fret, while the other plays the regular
chords with no capo.
Intro:
C#m - C#m
Verse 1:
C#m A
On the other side of a street I knew Stood a girl that looked like you
E B
I guess that's déjà vu But I thought this can't be true
C#m A
Cause you moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe
E B
Or where ever to get away from me
Pre-Chorus:
F#m A
Oh but that one night Was more than just right
C#m B
I didn't leave you cause I was all through
F#m A
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
G# G#7
Because I really fell for you
Chorus:
A E B C#m B
Oh I swear to ya I'll be there for ya This is not a drive by
A E B Cdim
Just a shy guy looking for a 2-ply Hefty bag to hold my love
A E B C#m
When you move me everything is groovy They don't like it sue me
B A E
The way you do me Oh I swear to ya I'll be there for ya
F#m G#7
This is not a drive by
Verse 2:
C#m A
On the other side of a downward spiral My love for you went viral
E B C#m
And I loved you every mile you drove away But now here you are again
A
So let's skip the "how you been"
E B
And get down to the "more than friends" at last
Pre-Chorus:
F#m A
Oh but that one night Was still the highlight
C#m B
I didn't neeed you until I came to
F#m A
And I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
G# G#7
Because I really fell for you
Chorus:
A E B C#m B
Oh I swear to ya I'll be there for ya This is not a drive by

B
You And a little time to get my head together too

version 3
Chords are the same but played
with a CAPO on the 4th fret. I think Jimmy Stafford actually plays bar
chords around the 7th and 9th frets but this sounds just as good and is
easier
Notes - Chords are played on the off beat and palm muted between each. CAPO ON
4TH. Have a listen and Enjoy playing ;)
