Chords/Tabulature for
4 Way Street Medly: The Loner,
Cinnamon Girl & Down By The River

Submitted by: Malc Brookes (malc@malbro.demon.co.uk)

Notes about this medly:

  • This is a bonus track from the CD version of 4 Way Street.
  • After the recent discussion about the various bits of this song I thought I'd try and piece together the whole thing.
  • The Loner and Cinnamon Girl sections are based on the submissions on HyperRust from David M (davidjo@ozemail.com.au) and Howard Wright (H.Wright@astro.cf.ac.uk) respectively, and thanks also to doleary@med.wayne.edu for the Am7 hammer-on in The Loner.
  • DBTR is my own offering.
  • The D5 ad lib sections are basically a series of hammer-on and pull-off embelishments to the open strings while playing the chord D5.
  • In The Loner, the Am7/E marked * indicates a hammer-on on the top string of --5h7-- just prior to changing back to Gm7/D.
  • Any comments or corrections, or further acknowledgements required, are most welcome.
  • And, in the words of the man himself: "It's all one song." :-)

The Loner

Intro (play twice):
  F(x)  G(xii)  C(v)  D(vii) 

  Cadd9  D5  G7  D5  Cadd9  D5

       G7
He's a perfect stranger
                              D5
Like a cross of himself and a fox
       G7
He's a feeling arranger
                             D5
And a changer of the ways he talks
         G7
He's the unforseen danger
                             D5
The keeper of the key to the locks
Gm7/D         Am7/E* (see notes)
Know when you see him
Gm7/D       Am7/E*
Nothing can free him
Gm7/D       Am7/E
Step aside, open wide
D5  (rest)
    It's the loner

D5 (ad lib)

If you see him in the subway
He'll be down at the end of the car
Watching you move
Until he knows he knows who you are
When you get off at your station alone
He'll know that you are

Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide...

For his cinnamon girl

Down By The River

Intro (play 4 times):

...Em7    Aadd4

Em7                    Aadd4
   Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby

Em7                       Aadd4
   There is no reason for you to hide

Em7                    Aadd4
   It's so hard for me staying here all alone

Em7                         Aadd4
   When you could be taking me for a ride.

Chorus:

  Cadd9   Bm/F#
    Yeah, 

  Cadd9               Bm/F#
    She could drag me over the rainbow, 

  Cadd9         Bm/F#  D5
      send me a-way

  G/B    D5        Aadd4
    Down by the ri-ver

  G/B D5         Aadd4
    I shot my ba-by

  G/B    D5        Aadd4
    Down by the ri-ver

  Em7    Aadd4  Em7   Add4
  Dead.


Verse:
  You take my hand, I'll take your hand
  Together we may get away
  This much madness is too much sorrow
  It's impossible to make it today.

Chorus

Verse:
  Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby
  There is no reason for you to hide
  It's so hard for me staying here all alone
  When you could be taking me for a ride.

Cadd9 (finish)
