JOE JACKSON - "blaze of glory" Tablature
Official JOE JACKSON Tablature & Sheet Music »
Here's my favorite Joe Jackson tune, as close as I can get it.
I'm not sure about the G/A and G/B in the chorus, but I can't
find anything else close. I believe the rest is right after
seeing Joe a couple of times in 91. Listen to the tune to get
the struming pattern down - its not as easy as it looks.
Correct as needed.

Joe Jackson - Blaze of Glory
Verse 1
G D G D
Johnny was a young boy with nothing much
F C F C
But a certain kind of look in his eyes
G D G
He was discovered one day seems he had
D F C F C
a certain appeal to certain kind of guys
G D G D
Gave him some advice and set him out
F C F C
To make the young girls cry
G D G D
And all the young boys being dumb and restless
F C F C
They could identify
Prechorus
D Asus2 F
So tell me who'll take the blame
For the way things turned out
Verse 2 - same pattern as 1st
Well six long months passed and Johnny
was the hottest thing alive
We loved Johnny and we owned Johnny
Nobody knew how Johnny felt inside
But Johnny was beautiful he was like a God
We all went along for the ride
The ride started to go too fast
Johnny just conviently died
Prechorus 2(same as 1st)
And he went up in flames
He did what he had to do
Chorus
F G G/A G/B D
And they say its a trag-ic story
F C F C
He just wasn't there one day
G G/A G/B D
But he went out in a blaze of glory
F C F C Asus2
And you and I, you and I just fade away
Verse 3 - same as other two
Well now days there's lots of guys like Johnny
They got it all worked out, like working nine to five
But they're all cartoons, they all think they're superman
But they can't even fly
They say that Johnny's ghost walks down in Memphis
Wehn the moon is full and high
And I wonder if he sees these jokers
I wonder if he laughs or if he cries
Prechorus - same
Now he's an angel in flames
but what about you and me.
Chorus twice
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JOE JACKSON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
