Chords for Good Morning Little School Girl by Alvin Lee

_ _ _ Here's a song that's a cool song.
_ _ _ _ It's a _ [E] song _ _ _ _ that's been done by everybody.
It's a very old blues song. _
It goes way back.
And the version that I like the most is by Alvin Lee and 10 Years After.
The song is called Good Morning Little Schoolgirl.
And it's played in the key of E.
And this is basically your lick to play the song.
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
_ [F#] _ _ So that's the lick that's played on the D, A, and E in your first three frets up here.
Then they take it, or he takes it to a higher octave when he starts singing.
And this kind of varies.
When he does it on the record, he stays up here.
_ But when he's playing live, he'd come down here.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
Then when you get to the_
It's all played in E, but then when you get to the turnaround to bring this progression to an end,
you'll go to a B, which would be a natural, _ or is the natural chord in an E progression. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ That's the turnaround right [G] there.
And then he adds a little lick.
And this lick varies.
Sometimes _ [F#] it sounds like on the album it's different from when he played it live.
But my take on it is something like this.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ So it'd go like something like this if you were to play it through. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And then there'll be a _ _ _ _ _ jam.
_ _ And the jam would be the drums and the keys _ _ _ _ fall _ out.
And [F] it's just the bass player [E] and Alvin doing a jam.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ Now the jam goes on, and then it'll slowly_
That jam between the bass and the guitar slowly bleed in.
The drums and the keys [Em] come back, [G] and they go back to the [E] original lick. _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And [Em] then you come back to [B] the go-around.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] That's basically [D] the song.
Of course, what you have to take into consideration is you've got Alvin Lee going _ _ at lightning speed on his lead.
And you have _ _ Leo Lyons, who is the bass player, and he's absolutely just burning it up on the bass.
It's a very, very cool song.
Again, it's a very old song.
Everybody has done this song.
ZZ Top has done this song.
Johnny Winter has done this song.
Every blues guy in the world has done this song. _
But the _ version I just happen to like is _ the version by Alvin Lee in 10 Years After.
So I hope you enjoyed the little video on this is how to play Good
