_ _ _ Okay, I'm gonna go through the intro to Tupac's I ain't mad at you and it's _
Based it's basically cut into a couple parts.
I'm gonna start [Bbm] with this first [Gb] kind of
_ That leads [F] into it goes
_ _ _ _ _ And that's
Fg a flat b flat _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ Which is just playing [Eb] octaves with your left hand on G with a D in the middle and then B and E flat
[F] You _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ hit [F] that D you play the C bass so B flat a flat G F _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Eb] B flat a flat G F E flat
[Db] B flat D with [F] the C bass up to E flat _
_ [Eb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ Then the bass rolls down
[B] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
When you hit that when you hit that B flat you're playing a B flat minor seventh which
The _ _
_ _ _ [D] natural I guess way to [Db] play it would be like this, [D] but you're taking that seventh that a flat and moving it up here so
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] so from there
[Bbm] _ _
Just kind of rock on E flat and a flat for a couple notes
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ And then to G with the a flat bass [Bbm] so
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ Then from there you're gonna play this
[G] _ _ Which is G and F on your left hand and then B D F on your right hand, so
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And
then from there it goes into the _
the hook of the song which
starts off like this
_ _ [Ab] _ Which is just CD [D] CD E flat back down DCG
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Db] And
Then it gets into the chords so from [Cm] there, _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ okay, [Cm] so the first chord is
_ _ Gonna [C] be B flat C and E
_ _ [Ab] _ _ With [C] an E bass
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ _ That second chord with an F bass is a flat C and [C] G
So together it goes
[Cm] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] And then there's another little run that goes into the next set of chords which starts on [F] F and goes like this
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ once again _ and
_ [Dm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [N] After that it goes into those that last set of chords which will start on a B flat
_ [Bb] which is _ _
B [G] flat D and F
_ so
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ So from [Bb] B flat _
Goes to an E [C] flat bass [Bb] and this chord.
_ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I guess would be like an E suspended, but you're playing it _ _
inverted so
_ _ _ _ From there you go to a natural
E flat so
[Bb] _ _
_ _ Moving this your pinky down to G _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ So [Bb] going through all of them, it's B flat
_ _ _ _ The [Eb] E flat suspended with B flat E flat and a flat
Then you move this your pinky the a flat down to G _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Then with your right hand you're gonna play a C and a D [D] bass _ _ _ _ _
And then [G] the last chord _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ Is just a G
and then a G bass with a
_ Right hands gonna be on B E flat [Eb] and F.
So once again that last run [D] of chords
