  Everybody Wants You

  by Billy Squier

  

  

  This is *NOT* correct to the record, but I am the only guitarist

  in our band, so fullness of sound is important.  The way Bill S.

  plays it is higher in pitch (same key) but doesn't come off well

  live that way.  You can transpose it up an octave easily if you 

  want to be closer to the recorded version.

  

  Here is how *I* do it, and it packs the dance floor everytime:

  At this point the bass and drummer join me for two more

  of the above...

  Singing begins--^   

  Verse 1:

  You see em coming at you every night

  strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight

  you know thier buisness-you think it's a bore

  they make you restless-it's nothing you ain't seen before

  

  ***	Pretty repeatitive for awhile, then for the chorus, you'll be

  	doing the "3 - 5 5" thingy as above; drop down to an E chord

  	but you'll only be playing the open strings.  EX:

  ^---Hold an E chord but only play these notes (sort of a ghost chord)

  

  Chorus:

  	you never let down...say you do it for fun

  	never miss a play, though you make quite a few

  	you give it all away when everybody wants you

  

  OK, now you have how that goes, to fill in "holes" or blank spots

  in the music, I pick single strings while holding the chords

  in the next part.   The first part is the same E as show directly

  above, I'm just continueing it here:

  

  _______0__|_______5__________________________5___________

  _______0__|_______5________________________5__5__________

  __________|_______7______________________7______7________

  __________|_______7____________________7_________7_______

  __________|_______5_Play like this: _5___________________

  __0_______|______________________________________________

  

  

  ____5_____________________5______________________________

  ____5______________________5_____________________________

  ____6_______________________6____________________________

  ____7________________________7___________________________

  ____7__________________7_________________________________

  ____5__Played like: __5__________________________________

  

  This may look weird, but try it, it fills the gaps because this

  is a very beat oriented song, and you need something to carry the

  tune when the singer isn't on the note.  You can play around with the

  E chord too, based on the above.  You play the above twice... then

  there is the "stop" where musicians stop and the singer goes:

  "Everybody wants you...."  then back to the beginning sequence again.

  

  

  Then for the bridge:  (hold a regular D chord and pick as shown, again

  this isn't how it is on the record, but this is easy to play and fits

  well in a live performance of the song)

  Every body wants you    Everybody needs you

  

  Repeat the above, then for the change: ("needs you , needs you")

  needs you needs you needs you needs you          ^----repeat to fit song

  __2^(bend hard)___3____55____3____55_____3__5____5___3__55__

  

  The legendary bend!

  

  

  Then the piano note,  I play it like they do, but sometimes make the

  "chicken cluck" note for fun:

  

  _______________________________________________________

  _____10___10____10____10___etc.________________________

  _______________________________________________________

  _______________________________________________________

  _______________________________________________________

  

  

  That should give you a good start and enough for you to play it your

  way.

  

  Here are the lyrics:

  Billy Squier

  Everybody Wants You

  

  You see em coming at you every night

  strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight

  you know thier buisness-you think it's a bore

  they make you restless-it's nothing you ain't seen before

  get around town, spend your time on the run

  you never let down...say you do it for fun

  never miss a play, though you make quite a few

  you give it all away when everybody wants you

  

  You crave attention-you can never say "no"

  throw your attention anyway the wind blows

  you always make it-you're on top of the scene

  you sell the copy like the cover of a magazine

  puttin' on the eyes 'till there's nobody else

  you never realize what you do to yourself

  the things that they see make the daily reviews

  you never get it for free when everybody wants you

  

  everybody knows you

  everybody snows you

  everybody needs you...leads you...bleeds you

  

  Nights of confusion and impossible dreams

  days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams

  you got your glory-you paid for it all

  you take your pension in loneliness and alcohol

  say good-bye to conventional ways

  you can't escape the hours-you lose track of the days

  the more you understand, seems the more like you do

  you never get away...everybody wants you
