This is prompted by a nice note that got dropped in my inbox.
And I _ appreciate it.
Wondering where this part three was at.
And I don't do requests.
I find that as this _ _ _ _ channel creeps towards _ triple digit _
_ _ _ _ _ _ subscriptions, who'd have thought it?
_ _ When I had 50 subscribers, I had 100 requests.
And if I can't do all 100, I'm not doing one.
_ I'm not doing one.
I'll play this where part two left off.
I'll play the lick sequentially, very slowly.
So slowly it will make your eyes water up or not. _
_ _ And then I'll play along with it.
And I've edited it down.
_ [G#] So I'll just include the guitar parts on the play along [N] sections.
It'll take about six minutes, hopefully.
_ _ This is from the, and I'm also going to leave out all the
parts that were covered in one and two.
_ _ So beginning to think that I'm wasting [B] time. _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [G#m] _ [C#m] _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _
I don't understand the things I do.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _ _
The world outside looks so unkind. _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ And that's a [G] D flat minor 7.
Don't play the bottom string.
_ _ _ [G#] _
And [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ then you're into the, _ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#]
which has already
been shown to you. _
_ _ That sequence continues on with the.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _
[E] _ And then right here, where previously this lick [N] started
on the G sharp, _ _ it starts on the F sharp.
I'll play it slowly. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And [B] _ _ _ _ _ [N] then it's the intro.
_ _ And _ since this string _ [E] _ is, _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [E] _ yikes, _ _ _ _ it's flat _ _ down here.
You've got the next part is, _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
you _ know, a melody, soothe me,
guitar's coming through to soothe me.
That's on the 18th fret, _ _ _ _ [F#] a D shape, making an F sharp. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And that is a F sharp to a [C] _ _ G sharp minor to another [F#] _ F sharp.
And [C] then thanks to the, and then it breaks down and claps
and [N] so on and so forth.
And then the next time you hear the guitar, it
comes in with. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And what you've got now is the same sequence of chords, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ except two frets _ lower.
We're going to play an [E] E _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ and that's an E to an F sharp minor
to an E [C#m] to a C sharp minor to an E.
_ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And _ _ [N] then you've got, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and _ well, _ you know what?
I'm going to be out of tune up here, but I want to be in tune
down here, so I'm going to leave it alone. _ _
[B] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G] _ [B] _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#] _ _
[G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [D#m] _ _

[B] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ [A] _
[F#] _ _ _ [E] _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ Yikes, _ but up here, it sounds fine.

See what happens.
_ _ Beginning to think [B] that I'm wasting _ _ time.
_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ I don't understand the things I do.
[C#m] _ _
[B] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ The world [B] outside looks so _ unkind.
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ I'm so out of tune.
_ _ _ [E]
Carry me through.
_ [B] _ Give me the beat boys, I'm free my [F] soul.
[F#] I'm going to get lost in your rock and roll.
_ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] When _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#m] _ my _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ mind is [E] free. _
_ _ _ _ No melody [B] can move _ me.
_ _ [C#m] _
_ When I'm feeling [E] blue.
_ [G#m] The [C#m] guitar's coming [E] through [F#] soon. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ Thanks for the joy that you give.
[B] _ _ _ Give me the beat boys, I'm free my [F#] soul.
I'm going to get lost in your rock [B] and roll.
[E] And drift _ away.

me the beat boys, I'm free my soul.
[F#] I'm going to get lost in.
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
When my mind [B] is free.
