'Use Me' Bill Withers chords
Start Jamming...
I heard this on Southern Soul Radio.
It's worth passing along.
Until you [Em] use me.
[C] [C#]
[D#] Until you [Em] use me.
[A]
[Em]
[C#]
Now [Em] she's off to me.
[A]
[N] It's Queen Emily.
Last I saw her, she was on America's Got Talent a couple four years ago, back when I had that TV.
So the guitar and the horns are doing the clavinet line, which is present in the original.
This song is E minor 7 to an A dominant 7 9 work, an A9.
Like this, 3 strings, well [Em] 4.
[E]
Until you [C#] use me.
And you have the C sharp.
That [F#] is an A9.
[Em] No root, don't need one.
There would be the root if you felt like it.
[N] And so here goes the clavinet part in it.
Part has some ghost notes in it, I won't do, but it sounds something like [Em] that.
[E]
[B] I'm gonna just [N] keep it straight.
Starting on a G note, here's your first move.
There's [F#] two sections to this.
Here's move 1 of the first [Em] section.
[D#] [E]
[Cm] It's a [Em] G to an E.
The D, the D sharp.
G again.
And then the E here, [E] put some syncopation [B] to that.
[E] [G]
[E]
Move 2, [D]
[N] the D, what finger you want to get it with.
I advise using the little finger.
And then it rolls [G] over to the G, [E] back to the [Gm] E, and then to the [B] D again.
That's move 2.
Syncopate that.
And then move 3 is the C, the C sharp,
[E] to the [C#m] E.
Worry the C sharp [D#] a little bit.
Put it together [Em] slowly.
[C] [E]
[C#] [N]
And then, the second part of that.
[B] [G] [D]
[B]
So right up to there it's all the same.
And [E] now you hit the E, [B]
the F sharp, the hammer on to the G, [F#] back to the F sharp, [Em] and then on the [B] E.
Slowly.
[Em]
[C] [C#m]
[Em] [C] [C#m]
[F#] [E]
[N] And there you have it.
[Em] Queen Emily.
Listen to these [A] horns.
Nail this.
[E] [Em] [Em] You [A]
[Em] can buy it on iTunes.
[A]
[D#] [Em]
[A] Anyway, if you have any questions, don't hesitate [E] to write.
Thanks
