Chords for Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain - Willie Nelson - Guitar Lesson

[B] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sup guys Kevin here from relax on [N] guitar where music lovers over 40 go to learn to play the guitar like they've always wanted to
I help folks play the guitar with my easy to follow lessons making playing the guitar fun
And this is a good one to have some [G] fun with
It's a sad song, but it's fun to [F] play.
[N] So this is a little Willie Nelson blue eyes crying in the rain
I remember this one from being a little kid and hearing it in the kitchen.
My mom would play
_ Country music radio
In the kitchen when she would be cooking
So I remember this song [G] as a kid and it's a great example of kind of three chords and the truth
[Fm] So I'm going to show you all the ways to do the walk ups and walk down some cool
baselines [Eb] in this one some cool country rhythm nice slow and steady and
[Db] Couple of hammer-ons.
I'll show you those as well.
[Eb] So let's [E] get into it.
Be sure and stick around
I'm gonna show you how to add seven songs to your set list easy to play just using four chords
I'll show you how to do that later here in the video
_ So three chords for this song, you know an E chord a _ _ _ B7 [B] chord and _ _ an A [A] chord
You _ _ play that a chord a couple different ways
You're gonna see me use just my index finger a lot to bar all three of the strings on that second fret
But you can [G] play it more [A] traditionally as well
So _ _ [E] let's talk about the intro [A] first
[E] _ _ _ _ Obviously _
So you're gonna start with this E chord _ _ _ _
_ [B] and it's a little counterintuitive.
So it's gonna start with an open fifth [A] string
[B] you're gonna hammer down immediately onto that fifth string with your middle finger on the second fret [E] and
Then a down up on that E chord
Open sixth string down up
_ repeat that little
There's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] that a couple of times before he gets into the first [Db] part of [B] the verse there
[E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ In the twilight glow I see
_ _ _ [Eb]
[C] An important thing to do [Abm] here is when he gets to the [E] word see
_ You're not gonna be doing that hammer on anymore and you're actually gonna go from the sixth string down up fifth string down
_ And _ _ _ _ [Em] that's the basic strum pattern for the entire [D] song bass down up
We're [G] gonna be changing that bass note and I'll show you guys that
_ It's just a bass down up nice and steady
_ The bass notes are gonna [Abm] change based [Em] on the chord
So for this E chord after you've done that little hammer on lick the rest of the song [E] you're playing
Sixth string down up fifth string down
Then _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ it's gonna move to a b7
[B] But _ [E] before [Em] I get there, I'm gonna show you the first
Walk up, so you'll hear the terms [Eb] walk up and walk down.
It's basically using individual notes to
You know move from the tone walk up to the next chord [Db] or walk [E] down to the next chord
so after this E chord
_ You're _ [A] _ [Bb] _
[Em] gonna walk up to the b7 you do that by playing [Db] the fifth string [A] open
[Bb] _ Then index finger on the first fret of that fifth string.
[B] Then you play the B
_ fifth string down up
Now _ _ you're gonna be doing a little moving with your middle finger here.
So careful where you point that thing
For that b7 you're gonna do a fifth string down [Gb] up
Then you're gonna move that middle finger over to the sixth string of the second fret
[B] _ It alternates between like that
_ _ _ [Em] Then [E] back to the E
_ Okay, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] then back up to that [A] walk up
[Bb] [B] to the b7 _ _
alternate that middle finger
[Em] to [E] the E
That _ [F] _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _
first verse ends with a walk up to the next chord, which is the a chord
So it will [A] play from the [E] beginning and play along
That _ _ [F] _ [Gb] _ [Ab] _ [E] walk up open sixth [Fm] string _ first fret
[Gb] _ second fret [D] sixth string
[Ab] _ fourth fret sixth string [A] and then to the a
So _ _ _ _ _ I'll play that first verse from the top for you.
So that intro
[E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Walk [A] [Bb] up [B] _ b7 I _
Cry in [E] the rain back to the E _
Alternate six and fifth _ when _ we kiss _ goodbye and part _
_ Walk [G] up again to the [A] _ [Bb] b7.
[B]
I knew
_ We'd never [Gbm] be [E] again he
_ [F] Open [Gb] one two [Ab] [A] four a _ I _ _
_ [C] Would really appreciate if you like this video to click that like button
Some more folks on YouTube can see it and they can relax and learn guitar and play this great country tune
so the second verse starts on that [A] a chord and
You're doing same pattern bass down a bass down up.
You're alternating the fifth and the sixth strings for this a chord
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Love is like a dying _ _
_ Another _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ walk [Ab] down so you're gonna walk down here on the sixth string fourth fret recommend using your ring finger [Gbm] and
Then the sixth string second fret we're walking down to the [A] e
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _
[E] E _ _ _ _ Memories _ [B] remain
E7 _ [A] _ [Abm] _
[Gb] [Db] and the coolest little [E] walk that happens in the song in my opinion.
So you're moving from that e _ _ _
Only memories _ [B] remain b7 _
You're only gonna do this [Dbm] altering or this moving your middle finger the sixth string one [B] time
and _ then after that down up is
_ [A] [Abm] Down [Gb] _ [B] _ up on that fifth [A] string and you're fretting the b7 again and an open fifth [Ab] string
_ Then a sixth string [E] on the fourth [Gb] fret sixth string on the second [E] fret to the e so _ altogether
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _
[B] _ _ _ The _ [Gbm] _ [E] _
_ _ _ new _ here the incredible solo [G] that is a lesson for another day
Then repeats that verse great tune to play with those chords
Like I said three chords in the truth, and if you would like some more songs that do have four chords in them
But there's seven of them and just one strum pattern check out this video above and grab those
You can put those in your set list and have some fun with those and I will see you guys for the next lesson _ _ _ _
