Alright, I'd like to be all complex about it, but I'll just be straightforward instead. The chorus to "My Hit and Run" is Gmaj - Dmaj - Amaj.

Gmaj - 320033
Dmaj - xx0232
Amaj - x02220

Now, you could always play the Dmaj as Dmaj/A (x00232) and the Amaj as Amaj/E (002220), but either way it doesn't make a huge difference in how the song sounds if you're playing along.

Personally, I'd use Dmaj/A and Amaj since the song itself is in the A major key. For those of you who like to be creative & put your own solos over songs, that's A B C# D E F# G# for you.

As far as "I Keep On (Forgetting Myself)" goes, the tuning is G Bb Eb G Bb F, but if you want to play it in standard for the time being, no one's stopping you.

The intro riff is:

b: 3-2-3-3-3-2h3p2h3-3-2-3-3-3-2h3p2h3----------------------
g:---------------------------------------------------------------------------
d:-------------------------------------------------------4h5p4p0-4h5p4p0

Then the verse riff is:

b: 10-10-10-10-10-12p10-10-10-10-10-10h12p10------------------10-12
g: --------------------------------------------------------------------12p11-12-------

The chorus goes something like:

Dmaj - xx0232
(hammering & pulling off to)
Dmaj7-5 - xx022x
(then)
Gmaj - 320033
(hammering & pulling off to)
G7 - 2x0033

I think there's at least one more chord somewhere in there, might be 65xx66 following the Gmaj, but I'm not sure. This is just a general run down.

I play the outro as:

Dmaj => Dmaj7-5 => slide up to 5th fret on B string

Do some hammer ons & pull offs between those two chords for it to sound nice, and slide up to the 5th fret on the B string (no chord form here, just do that) and you should have a DECENT sounding acoustic version. This prolly won't sound too nice in general on electric but I dunno.

Just some general ideas, comment at will. Can't blame me for being bored on a Tuesday afternoon. ;-)
