Welcome to Vanderbilt.com. This is in response to a request for
Make it with you by Brad David Gates
_ It's from 1970.
This is just the
Acoustic chords, and I believe another contributor is going to cover
The electric parts so this part is pretty easy.

You
Okay, this song starts off with an E major 7 chord
_ You play that with three fingers, so you put your index finger on the G string
fourth fret and then your pinky on the
D-string at the sixth fret and
Your ring finger on the a string at the sixth fret
_ And you play all the strings and it sounds like this
_ Very nice chord the second chord [Bb] a lot of people use [Gbm] this one kind of like _ _
Melissa for the Allman Brothers, but [N] the one that
that bread actually uses when they
Played it live is this chord.
This is a a at night
so you're you're just going to move these two fingers up one fret and
then take your
_ Your middle finger and put it on G string sixth fret so you have seven seven six
[A] It sounds like this
_ So all he's doing is going from this E [E] major 7
sliding [Em] up one and putting this finger [A] down _ _ [N] and that's the
That's the how the the main part of [E] the first goes
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ [F] _ _ and
Then he moves to one of these things if you believe the things that I do he plays an a major chord
[A] So play down here for the wand or I just play it here because you're already here.
You've got this a at nine
and then [B] you just put your just bar that's a threat [A] and you get
Then _ _ you move down one [N] fret and go to a G sharp [Abm] minor
_ Now I usually play like this, but you know I can play and _ _ _ _ then down to [Gbm] an F sharp minor second fret and
_ _ [N] Then go to an F sharp minor 7 you just play that you can play it either like this
Barring all of the strings except for the E and a and then reaching over and getting [A] the E string
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] Or I just grab it because I'm already here.
I just go like that all right _
Technically you can also play like this if you want you want to put your finger [Bb] down there but that's
_ That's going on [B] while the [Bbm] lead is doing
[B] _
_ [Abm] _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] And then you're [Abm] back into then _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] [A] the a and _ _ [N] the F sharp minor [Abm] again
I'm sorry G sharp minor _ _ [Eb] and then you go to a [Gm] C sharp
[A] right [Db] there at the fourth fret _ and
You can add the suspend for part by putting your pinky on
B string at seventh fret
Because the lead is doing
right [N] _ so you get the [Db] feel of that by that and _ then you go down to this chord which
_ [N] Is very simply it's a it's a b9 sus4
But all you're doing is barring every single string at second fret and you'll see
I'm playing it live, and they're you know clamping it with every
With all their fingers because you got to hold all of them down, but it [Gb] sounds like this
[E] _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Db] So _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [B] and then [Abm] back to [E] and _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Abm] _
[E] _ then [A] the transition is just octaves you're just playing the octave a So
The sixth string at the fifth fret and the
The D string at the seventh fret and you're muting so that you're not playing this is a string in between so it's
and then [F] down one to the G [Ab] sharp
[Gb] Then to the F sharp and then play that same a
_ [Db] B9 sus4 again
[A] so [B] _ _ [Db] _ [Abm] and you're back into
That's [B] pretty much the whole song so
the interesting parts the
Electric part and I think somebody else _ _ _
