Chords for Bluegrass Jamming Essentials from AcuTab

So do you guys want to play one?
We should pick one.
Yeah, if you want.
We might as well.
You want to do_
what do you want to [D] sing, Tim?
Uh, 9-pound hammer. _
_ _ Like that.
Sure.
Kid you?
Yeah.
_ _ _ [G] _ [Gm] 9 _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ -pound hammer _ is a little [C] too heavy.
I don't need [G] 4 months size.
[D] I don't need 4 months [G]
size.
Roll over, buddy.
Roll [C] so slow.
[G] And I roll.

Hi, I'm Bill Evans.
And welcome to Accutabs DVD on Bluegrass and Jamming Essentials.
This project is for you if you're an intermediate player who's already out there picking
[D] and you're looking to gain more confidence [G] playing with other people.
Also, if you play in a band, we hope to teach you a lot of tips that will help you in your next band rehearsal and performance.
And if you're a brand new player to bluegrass music, you'll have a lot of fun watching this.
You'll pick up tips that you'll use for years.
I'd like to introduce my co [C]-conspirator, my co [G]-host for this project, a 6-time national fiddle champion.
Meet Megan Lynch.
Thanks, Bill.
And I'd like to take a [D] moment to introduce who we've got with us today, joining us in this band and jam [G] workshop.
Over here on guitar, Tim Stafford.
[Gm] On bass, David Thomas.
And on mandolin, [D] Adam Steffi.
_ We're ready.
We're going to be playing a G chord if you want to follow along at home. _ _ _ _
Bass is playing on the 1 and the 3 beats if we're counting in a cycle of 4.
Or the down [G] beats, some people like to call it.
Now the mandolin's going to play on the off beats, or 2 and 4.
_ _ So they're playing opposite of one another.
They fill each other's spaces.
Where David's playing, Adam's not.
Where Adam's playing, David's not.
And Adam may sometimes just punctuate the 2 and 4 with just a chop, or sometimes add a little bit of extra stuff. _
_ That's the special sauce.
[Db] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ Now we hate a vacuum.
There's more space to be filled in the bluegrass sound.
And the guitar is about ready.
_ _ _ _ [D] We were thinking about doing Your Love is Like a Flower, if you guys are cool with that.
And I've sung this song in different jam sessions and band settings.
And fortunately or unfortunately, the key that I've come to like to sing it in is E flat.
Oh, E flat.
See, [Eb] you're going to make that face.
_ Nobody else made that face.
Anyway, but E flat is nothing to be worried about.
Because, a couple of reasons.
Number one, capos.
So _ Tim's going to play it out of C position [Ab] with the capo on the 3rd fret there.
I'm going to do the same thing.
So you put the capo on the 3rd fret, but you're thinking C.
And that gives you the absolute sound of E flat.
So let's just try a little bit of this.
Just to, you know, hear what it sounds like and get a feel for it in a different place.
And to remind you that it's important to get comfortable in all the keys.
Because you never know what [Eb] you're going to get.
So, _ _ I'll just start singing it.
1, 2, 3.
It was long, long ago [Ab] in the moonlight.
[Eb] We were sitting on the banks of [Bb] a stream.
When [Eb] you whispered so [Ab] sweetly, I love you.
_ [Eb] As the [Bb] water murmurs [Eb] too.
_ So they tell me our love's [Ab] like a flower.
_ [Eb] In the springtime it blossoms [Bb] so fair.
In [Eb] the fall when it [Ab] withers away [Eb] dear.
And they tell me [Bb] that's the way of.
Alright, well we're going to try this in B flat.
Because that's your key.
Lester Flattner, Earl Scruggs.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ It was long, long ago [Eb] in the moonlight.
We [Bb] were sitting on the banks [F] of a stream.
When [Bb] you whispered so sweetly, [Eb] I love you.
[Bbm] As the [F] water [Bb] murmurs too.
_ _ So they tell me our love's [Eb] like a flower.
[Bb] In the springtime it blossoms [F] so fair.
In [Bb] the fall when it [Eb] withers away dear.
And [Bb] they tell me [F] that's the way [Bb] of your love. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Db] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ Here comes your turn.
Here we go. _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [A]

One, two, three. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Told me that you cared.
[D] That you would [A] never lie.
But I [D] saw you [A] in another's arms and I hung my head and cried.
Hung down my head and cried.
Hung down my head and cried.
I [D] saw you [A] in another's arms and I hung my head and cried.
