played [G#] at speed and then we'll slow it down.
[G] To start out with we're going to start on a D.
[D]
[G]
[C] [G] [D]
[G] [D] Three [G#]
chords in here.
We got a D which is place your first finger on the second fret
on the [D#] fourth string and down on the first string [G] you place your second finger on the second [D] fret.
That's a D.
[C#] A C is played [G] by placing your first finger on the second fret of the third string
[G#] and your second finger [G] on the third fret of the second string.
[C] [B]
And then a [G#] G, you just move
everything down.
[G] You got your first finger on the second fret of the second string and on the first
[G#] string you got your second [G] finger.
That's a G.
So we'll go into Copperhead Road here and we'll [Cm] be
using those chords.
[C#] So what you [B] want to do when you're doing the intro, you want to hammer [G] into
[D] it [G] and then you want to slide up from the [Bm] first string [A] of the [C#] second fret up to three [G] and the
fourth string from four to [Dm] five.
Back to [Bm] four and two.
[D] So it'll sound like this.
[C#] Again you're doing that three and [F] five to [Bm] two and four [C#] [D] back to D.
[G] Then we're into a G.
[C] [G] To C and back to G.
When you're playing the verse
[D]
[G] you can hammer on that first [D] string.
[Dm]
He does it occasionally but [N] depends on how you want to play it.
After the second verse there's a
little break where he goes into a D and hammers at and I'll show you how that [D] goes.
[G] [D]
[G]
[D]
[G]
[C] [G] [D]
[C#] And then it picks up the tempo.
So what I'm doing there is basically we're going to start out with
the [G] beginning.
[Dm]
[C#] We're going to do the D and we're playing basically the bottom three strings.
[G] The
four, three and the [D] two.
[Gm] We don't want to [E] hit that high F [F#]
sharp.
We just want to let that [Dm] ring.
[G] And then we're back into the [D] D.
[G]
It's like the beginning but it's more up [D] tempo.
[B] [Am] [D]
[Bm] [G] [D]
[C] Then we're into a G.
We [G] hold it a little longer to [C] [G]
C and back to G.
[D]
[G] Do it again
and [C] [G]
[D]
[Dm]
then you're back into the verse.
And the [G] third verse is a lot more up tempo.
So [D]
that's
[B]
basically the song.
It picks up the [A#] tempo and they continue out with the
[C] song.
So I hope [G] you guys enjoy it.
