“Scare Easy” (Mudcrutch Cover)

**CHORDS / TABS BELOW!!**

By Chris Moore:

I was on the Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Message Board yesterday, and I came across a newly released song from Mudcrutch. For those who haven’t heard, Tom Petty has reassembled his high school band, Mudcrutch, and they’re releasing a new album on April 29th. I knew this was coming, but I had no idea one of the songs was out yet! I listened to it, and I knew immediately it would be a lot of fun to record!

So, I proudly bring you “Scare Easy,” off the not-yet-released Mudcrutch album. I hope you enjoy my version of it. Since I was warmed up from last night’s four hour (8:30-12:30) “Laptop Sessions Live” show at Testa’s Bar, I threw in some harmonica to make up for the missing guitar solo. Speaking of the show last night, I want to thank everyone who came out for your support. I’m sure Jim and Jeff will be mentioning it in their posts over the next couple days, but I, for one, hope this isn’t the last show we do. I can’t wait to master new songs (and to brush up on old ones that I wish I had remembered easier…).

Finally, I am really excited to announce two milestones today — I just found out about my 150th subscriber and I am 6 video views away from 10,000 total views on YouTube! I realize these are just numbers, but it really gives me hope that the Laptop Sessions will become even more successful and that people will hear the good things that are happening at The Laptop Sessions Music Blog!

Thank you again to those on the Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Message Board who posted the chords and lyrics for this song. See you next session!

CHORDS!

Am           G          Em         D
My love’s an ocean, you better not cross it
I’ve been the distance and I need some rest
Yeah, I had somebody once, and damn if I lost her
I’ve been running like a man possessed

        C      G          D
I don’t scare easy
Don’t fall apart when I’m under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain’t gonna run

        Am                D
I don’t scare easy for no one

Yeah, I’m a loser at the top of my game
I should have known to keep an eye on you
I got a sky that ain’t never the same
Yeah, I got a dream that don’t ever come true

CHORUS

SOLO to verse chords

Sun going down on a canyon wall
I’ve got a soul that ain’t never been blessed
Yeah, I’m a shadow at the back of the hall
Yeah, I got a sin I ain’t never confessed…

“How Good It Can Get” (Wallflowers Cover)

Welcome to your Saturday edition of The Laptop Sessions with me, Jim Fusco!

Today, I join the Wallflowers group with Chris and Jeff (who’ve done quite a few already) and do one of my favorite tunes, “How Good It Can Get”.

This song has one of the best hooks I’ve ever heard, plus it was my “anthem” song during my trip to Italy last year. I remember one night, after an amazing Tuscan dinner, walking through the streets back to the hotel. I was singing this song at the top of my lungs. Clearly less-than-level-headed, I kept also yelling out that I was still on key!

Well, this was recorded long after that night and I was STILL on key! I hope you enjoy today’s Session and make sure to keep checking the blog at guitarbucketlist.com for exclusive videos from our first ever LIVE concert!

“Waste” (Smash Mouth Cover)

Good Friday to you! Welcome to today’s edition of The Laptop Sessions, and I bring you a great acoustic number from Smash Mouth.

The song is “Waste” from Smash Mouth’s album “Astro Lounge”. It is not a typical Smash Mouth song, and I think of the bands i’ve heard of they definitely have a unique sound. I always loved this song when it came up on the play list. “Fallen Horses” is a song i’d also like to do in a future Laptop Session, but that won’t be for a while.

I like this version a lot, and it goes along well with the album version.

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Jeff’s acoustic cover song music videos are no longer on YouTube, but we decided to keep his cover song blog posts up.  We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session.  We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and origianal music blog again in the future.  But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!

“Aware” (New Music – Independent Music Songwriter Jeff Copperthite)

Welcome, welcome to Jim Fusco’s edition of “Original Wednesday” here at the Laptop Sessions! This only comes every three weeks for me, so when I get a shot, I make sure it’s a good one.

So, I bring you a great tune off of Jeff Copperthite’s album, Greenlight.

“Aware” is a song about a man wondering what’s going on when he’s not around his significant other. Don’t we all feel this way at one time or another? No matter how much you trust someone, the question still lingers sometimes.

Jeff goes on to say, “Perhaps I am scared of something that’s not there.” Very true. But that still doesn’t stop him from thinking about it!

This has got some great chords, a catchy tune, and is nice and fast-paced. It’s a great pick-me-up to the later part of Jeff’s album and sets up the last track, “Easy”, very well.

I hope you enjoy this edition of “Original Wednesday” and I’ll be back with one of my own originals from the Masters of the Universe album, “Homestead’s Revenge”.
