And it repeats okay, so
On the intro the intro [G] plays a B chord
[B] _ _
_ And you've got a sub descending _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] It's going down the beam B
[E] _ _ [B] Mixolydian scale [A] the [G#] a natural [F#] G sharp _ _
[E] F
[D#] Sharp a D [B] sharp C sharp B.
So I've combined that into this
So I'm playing on the D string the G string and the B string B
_ seven nine eight seven _
_ _ _ then an a _
_ in the bass on _ _
seven so seven eight seven and
[G#] six eight seven for that G sharp
_ _ _ [B] Then four four four
_ Put that F sharp in the bottom
then [E] two four four putting the in the bottom and _ _
_ [B] The bass notes going down to the a string six _
four four four [D#] put the D sharp in the [F#m] bottom
at [F#] four four four [F#m] four
What's the [C#] C sharp?
[B] There's the bass note and lands on a B chord _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ Then I put the melody in that the lead guitar plays [C#] C sharp
_ [E] B a [B] C sharp B.
So [C#] on the G string [B] six [E] four then five
_ six [G#m] four _ _
[B] _ _ [C#] So five on the B string
six and four on G string
_ _ _ _ Then we've got _ I'm hammering to G sharp on six on the D string
[F#m] _ to F sharp on four
[B] _ _ [C#] B on four on the G [B] string
[G#] _ [D#] G sharp on six
_ [F#m] _
_ F sharp on [G#] four _ _ _
and then
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#]
again hammering to C sharp on four
[B] _
[E] or the a string this time
[B] _ B on two
[G#] _
slide to G [B] sharp on six on the D string
[F#] _
F sharp on
_ [G#] four _
_ [E] _ E on [F#] two and
_ [A] _
_ _ Then I [C#] just put the C sharp as the [A] melody note, but just add the a chord as well
So I'm playing four two two two
_ [G#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] Then we've got the chords for the verse which is simply E
_ _ [B] B
_ _ [A]
A and I put a little lick in there
_ [C#] I'm just playing a hammer to a C sharp on four on the A [E] string
_ then E on two on [C#m] the D string
_ [A] _ and then pull off four two [C#m] open and
[A] _ _ Then continue with the a [E] chord so
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ again E [B] B A
[G] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And then we've got this F sharp minor chord with the descending bass note _
So I'm playing four two two two
_ _ Then [F] three an F natural
[F#m] _ in the bass _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ Then an [F#m] E in the bass so four two [A] two two three two two [F#m] two _
[A] _ Two [F#m] two two two _ and then it's up and _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [B] _ a B chord
_ Long [E] as then back to E
_ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [A] B A _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ And [E] then going to the next section of [A] the song I play A _ and then just an A [G#] chord
Now I play the G sharp as a kind of leading note [E] on four on the E string
_ [F#] _ And then I'm playing F sharp, but major this time _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ Then F sharp [F#] 7 _ _
[C#] _ _ [D#m] _ _ [N] And F sharp 6 by adding my little finger on the 6th fret of the A string
[C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[F#] back to F sharp _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] B _ _
[E] _ E
A [A] then [G#] A
G sharp as the leading [A] note again
_ [F#] and repeat F sharp
F sharp [D#m] 7 F sharp [F#] 6 F sharp
[Bm] And then we've got a B7 chord
Waterloo sunset's fine and for that I'm playing what I played on the [B] intro
[A] Waterloo sunset's [D] fine
