Start Jamming...
All right, the point of this video or lesson here is to suggest a song for a cover band.
[Bm] This is a song that comes out of the 60s and is, at least in my view, one that is unfortunately
overlooked because [B] I think it has in it a lot of music and could really be a fine piece
for a [Bm] slow dance for a 60s cover band.
The [B] name of the song is Don't Let the Sun Catch [A] You Crying.
It was originally recorded by Jerry and the Pacemakers.
I'm going to go through the [N] chords really quickly here as I have arranged the song.
I'm going to do it in major 7th chord.
I'm going to start with the D major 7th, [Em] which is simply [G] close those three strings off there
at the second fret.
[D] It goes for notes.
It goes from there to a G major 7th, which [G] is just a G chord with your high G dropped
[G] half a step.
[D] I'm going to sing it, not because I want to torture you, but [Dm] because I need to get how
the words go over this chord progression.
I'm not [A#] trying to sell my voice here, but to [F#] just give you the structure of the song.
It goes like this.
[D]
[G] [D]
[G]
[D] [G]
There is the third chord in the song.
It's an A6 and it [A] sounds like this.
You take [E] that D major 7th and add [Bm] another string over here and you flatten those four
[A] on the second fret.
Then the rest of the next part of the [B] song is G [G] major 7th.
Your heart may [F#m] be A6, broken tonight, but tomorrow [C#] back and forth in the morning light.
G [G] major 7th.
Don't let the
and then [F#m] A6.
Sun.
And then you just drop [Bm] [E] your finger off of the fourth string and open it up [Bm] and you're back
to that D major [D] 7th that you started the song.
I'm going to take it through one time all together.
[G] The sun catch [D] you crying.
[G] [G]
[D] The night's the [G]
time for [A] your tears.
[G] Your heart [A] may be broken tonight, but tomorrow in the morning light.
[G]
Don't [F#m] let the sun catch [D] you crying.
