_ [Bb] _ Well, you let me feel your leg and it felt so soft
[Dm] _ _
_ [Fm] _ [Eb] Said hey, hey
And [Bb] it felt so soft
[Db] _ _
[Bb] _ Well, you know [F] what you promised me now, please don't put me off _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Okay, before we get into the picking let's have a look at the chords
_ It's CF and G, but it's a particular CF and G
The C is played like a normal C chord with two additions one is
You're putting your pinky on the top string the high E string at the third fret and the other is [E] that you're getting two strings
At once the fifth and the sixth strings you're fretting both of them at the third fret with your ring [Bb] finger _ _ _ _
That's the C chord [Eb] in the F chord
Your thumb comes up around the neck to get the first fret of the sixth string and aside [C] from that.
It's a normal F chord
_ You also [Fm] have a regular garden variety type G chord and [F] G7
So those are the [Bb] chords
now for the [Dm] song
_ [Eb] _ _
This is the basic lick and [Bb] what you're doing is you're using C
You're using F and for a brief time you're you're on no chord because you're just getting a note
That's that's nowhere near the chord, [G] which is on the fourth fret.
So you're going [F] in the C chord
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] It's the sixth string
the first string [D] and the fourth [F] string so the bass is this _ _
then you come off the chord and your pinky or
your ring finger if it's more comfortable for you goes and gets just briefly the fourth fret of the second [Db] string and _ _ _
[Bb] Then you're back into the into the chord _
then for one beat you go briefly to an F [D] chord and _
[F] Back to C [Db] and do it again
Now [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] there's a brief bass [Db] run
And you on your right hand you can just use your thumb for this and [A] then the bass goes
In a blind Blake manner you're getting
The note between the beats followed by the next beat _
so it's
_ But you also have a treble note on top of the second of those two bass notes in that blind Blake
