Hey Guitar Buddies, let's take a look at Sparks, this town ain't big enough for the both of us.
[A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] Alright, so I just played through verse [B] chorus there, so we start with this riff _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ before the verse comes in.
So what I'm playing there is a sustained A chord _ [G] and over that I'm
starting on a D to C sharp, _ that's a pull [B]-off.
_ [G] I then played an A, so that's 3 2 2 _
[A] and _ then [B] playing
2 2 2 2.
_ _ _ [C] So I'm just pulling off to the C sharp, [Db] I play C sharp A, [B] C sharp A, C sharp A, _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] first part
and then second I'm going back to the D _ [Ab] and [Bm] then play the trill.
_ _ So D C [Db] sharp, _ _ [D] hammering back to D
and pulling off back to C sharp, _ then playing the A again [B] and [G] then going to F sharp, second fret of
the E string, [Em] E, _ [Db] C sharp, [G] so 2 [Db] 5 [B] 2. _ _ _
_ [G] So with the chord, [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ okay and then we've got the verse chords,
[B] so we start with 6 beats on A, 4 beats on C and 4 beats on G [A] minor, so _ _ _ 1 [C] 2 1 2 3 [G] 4 1 2 3 [Dm] 4,
then so _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Dm] I'm playing there is after the G minor, I'm playing D minor and I'm just playing _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm playing that 5 times, 1 2 3 4 5, _ then G minor _ and I just play that once and then [C] C, _ _
[D] so I'll just play through that section [Dm] again, _ 2 3 4 [G] 5 _ _ _ _ _ [E] okay and then we've [G] got, _
_ [B] _ _ [G] now the guitar's
not playing this but I thought I'd throw it in just so you know what's going on.
So I'm starting
with a G and an F, _ _ _ _ _ so 5 and 6 _ [Db] and _ [Ab] then I'm sliding that G [G] up to an A flat, _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [G] then I'm playing an A
and an F, [B] _ _ [G] so that's always staying on the F so far and [Db] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ an [A] A and [D] then this time pull the first
finger, second finger off to the to get an E on [A] 5.
_ [G] So _ [A] you _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [G] don't have to play that because the
keyboards are playing that on the record but you know you might need to add it if you're playing
the band.
_ [Db] _ [B] _ _ Then we've got _ [Bb] _ [B] _ A [Bb] _ [E] B flat, open A [B] B flat on 1, _ _ [A] _
[Em] then E on 2, _ E flat on [Bb] 1, _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] open 1 2 1 _ [B] and then _
[Bbm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [G] so I'll play [Dm] D minor _ _ B flat [Bb] minor _ then [B] _ _ back to A and we're into our opening [A] riff. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ Now there's a bridge section so _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ the chords [C] for that bridge section I'm starting with the start
of our riff [B] and _ _ then playing _ an _ A _ and then taking this up [E] to a D chord by way of a B and a C sharp,
_ _ [B] _ [Db] _ _ B on 2, C sharp [G] on 4 and then this chord [D] sequence _ D _ _ [C] C _ B _ [Bm] minor _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ A _ and _ then going [Em] back up with the B
and C sharp [B] again. _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
[Em] Now over that sustained A chord there's a nice little lick up the neck _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] so what I'm playing there is [Eb] a bend from B [G] to E and then picking _ E six _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
times [G] 1 2 3 4 5 6
_ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ and then [E] play the G and pull it [G] off to E [B] F sharp and pull it off to E and again _ _ so _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ then ending
on it just by playing _ _ just _ _ _ _ _ _ _ repeating that and then it just [N] slides down at the end and we're back into
the song okay and then we've just got the ending so the song ends on a [Dm] D minor chord _ which _ _ _ [D] repeats
and then the very last chord we [Bm] go to a D okay so it's kind of unusual but works really well
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ so it's a great classic song from Sparks thank you _
