IntroductionThe Who Anthology provides the following chord progression for The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again:

(F) (Eb) (Bb)

Which, when played alone on a guitar, sounds passable. The trouble is, the recording that we all know and love hasPete playing (A) (G) (D). And the Anthology has helpfully added the tablature for such an odd chord as E-flat tolook like this:

What the fu-? But wait! There's more help! Here's a B-flat:

It's almost as though it was written by a music theorist and not a musician. So the song, according to Warner Bros.Publications, looks like this:

"We'll be (F) fighting in the streets- (Eb) (Bb) with our (F) children at our feet (Eb) (Bb) …"

And if you practice long and hard, you can get these chords down right. Then, the next time it comes on the radio,you can play along. What? It doesn't sound the same? They aren't the right chords? Why, why, why, why, why, why,why, why, why, why? And how can the published music from the owners of the copyrighted song be so wrong? Onemight think that Warner Bros. deliberately provided the wrong transcription. But they wouldn't do that. Would they?I mean, they wouldn't do that.

I still own The Who Anthology, and the correct chords for this song are frustratingly penciled in above the wrong,wrong, wrong ones, but in my quest for honest transcriptions of songs, I discovered that most music books eitherfake the chords or are so wrong, they obfuscate the true chords.

So, even though I took the trouble and money to buy song books, the music in them still forced me back toheadphones plugged into a CD player and hours trying to distinguish an A from an A-major 7 amidst a cacophony ofinstruments and percussion.

Fake BooksAnd "Fake" books don't help anyone either. Who wants to know how to fake a song? Don't you want to know howto play it - not fake it? If you want a real fake book, I'll save you time and money: All songs ever written can befaked by playing G, C, and D. Now, aren't you glad you didn't pay $30 for the "Ultimate Fake Book"?

Hence, Songenborscht, where fake chords are banished and the truest renditions have been painstakingly verifiedand re-verified to faithfully reproduce each song as close as possible to the original recording, within reason, with noguarantee.

How This Book is DifferentSongenborscht is unlike any songbook you can find on the shelf at Borders.

• Foremost, the songs use the correct chords and don't fake them. Exceptions to this rule apply mostly topiano-based songs, such as Elton John's, where the closest approximations are used.

• With only two exceptions, all songs fit on one page. You don't need to flip pages while playing.• All lyrics are included. You don't have to scan the page for the chorus when you see [CHORUS]; they're all

there in their entirety, so your playing is smoother and easier to read.• Chords are inserted into the lyrics, so you don't need to guess where the chord changes occur.• The proper position of the chords on the fretboard is graphically illustrated. If the chord is a variation of a

D played on the 10th fret, the graphical illustration shows you the position at the 10th fret and not the opentuning approximation.

• All chords used for each song is listed graphically for every page, so if you forget what a Dm9 looks like,it's right there.

• No thought was given to pianists. Although pianists may find the chord changes easier to read thanstandard songbooks.

RequirementsSongenborscht assumes that:

• You know the song you want to play. If you've never heard of a song, good luck finding the melody,tempo, and so on. I suggest listening to the song or playing along with it in order to learn it best.

• You know basic chords. By basic chords, I mean any major or minor chord. I don't graphically illustratewhat an F looks like; I assume you know. Any chord that requires a number after it (e.g., Gmaj7) isgraphically illustrated.

• Although not a requirement, you will begin to memorize the chord structures. So when you see a Dm7, youknow where your fingers should be on the fretboard.

CaposMany artists use capos or play their songs in a higher octave on the piano. In these cases, I have provided the capoversion of a song. Some songs also are much easier to play using a capo. In these cases, I have included both thecapo version (easy version) and the non-capo version (original version). Every attempt has been made to make everysong as easy to play as possible, while retaining the true and original chords.

TablatureAnyone who's ever gone to a tablature web site knows how horrific the tabs are there. In the beginning, I attemptedto use the freely available tabs on the Internet as a foundation for a song, but I quickly found that it was much moredifficult to fix a wrong song than just to build it from scratch. (Allow me to reiterate, again, once more, that I didn'tuse any publications or copyrighted materials as a foundation for this publication.) I even uploaded corrections forfew horrendously wrong tabs to one or two popular tab web sites, but I'm afraid the damage is done. Very rarely canyou find a tab that is spot-on. Some are passable. Most are crap.

Song SelectionThe songs included in Songenborscht were arbitrarily based upon our musical preferences, requests, and playability.Some songs sound terrible played on a guitar and should never be attempted, regardless of the tabs available forthem. For example, anything by Queen played solo on a guitar lacks the overdubbing that makes Queens songsgood. Subsequently, Bohemian Rhapsody, played solo on an acoustic, would sound like nonsense.

With very few exceptions, all songs can reasonably be played by an acoustic, steel-string guitar. Some notable songexceptions include all the songs everybody knows, such as anything by Led Zeppelin and anything by LynyrdSkynyrd. If you need help playing Sweet Home Alabama, you need to work on your fake chords (see Fake Booksabove).


Songbooks and Copyright LawThis project began as personal notes to be shared with friends and family, and it will end that way. While all thework in this publication is original, the music that it's based upon is owned (mostly) by companies with well-paidlawyers. Those companies are keen on getting their fair share of products using their copyrighted material and areknown to sue people who don't first ask their permission to use their music.

Published anthologies, collected works, fake books and the like have asked for and received copyright permissionfor each and every song in their publication. Some companies simply won't allow any music books to use theirsongs, which explains why you can't buy one book that has all your favorite songs in it.

Currently, there is some grey area regarding the fair use of by-ear transcriptions. Lawyers love grey areas. TheInternet web site, Olga (http://www.olga.net) is a tablature site that has had warnings by the corporate music lawyersbut has yet found themselves in court. In 1998, Olga actually shut down its web site for a time due to legal threatsfrom the Harry Fox Agency, the legal arm of the National Music Publishers Association. To find the copyrights to alarge number of songs, you can search the nifty NMPA song copyright list at http://www.songfile.com.

I seek no profit from this publication; I only wish to share my many, many hours of work with other musicians. Ididn't use any publications or copyrighted materials as a foundation for this publication. This publication is the myown painful, time-consuming work and represents my best guess of the songs. Anyone using this publication isrestricted to using it for private study, kindling, proving other guitarists wrong, swatting flies, scholarship, research,megaphone, or a make-believe telescope.

Title 17United States copyright code, Title 17, allows the public to use copyrighted material for "fair use". Specifically,copyrighted material may be used "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (includingmultiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research" (http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107).This publication falls under the "research" area of the law.

While I attempted to find the actual chords used by the musicians in their work, I can make no guarantee that thechords I chose are correct. In fact, I'd like to admit right here that this publication is a worthless collection of hackedmusic with questionable integrity. I don't think anyone should use this to learn music; you should go out and buy thereal, reputable music books published by their copyright holders and licensed affiliates and stop wasting your timereading this.

I'm sure Pete really did windmill an E-flat like this:
