[G]
I was born.
You got a boy child coming.
Be a son of a gun.
We call you pretty women.
All jump and shout.
And the world gonna know.
What it's all about.
You know [C] I'm him.
The whole round [G] world knows I'm him.
[D] I'm the Hoochie Coochie Man.
[C] The whole round world [G] knows I'm him.
[Gm] [G] Around and around we go.
Hoochie Coochie Man.
Okay, the main thing, there's two things with this one.
It's the shuffle.
The drummer will probably play it as a 12-8.
But anyway, we're going to call it a shuffle.
If anyone wants to, it's a shuffle groove.
Tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck.
And the riff [Gm] [G]
starts on the 4 chord there, on the 5th fret, 5th position.
Actually it starts on the 1 just before the downbeat.
So it's the 5th tapping down, and you hit the 1 on the [C] upbeat,
and then the 4 on the downbeat.
[Bb]
[G] [Eb] You come in on the 1 on the [G]
3rd.
[Gm] So it's 1, 2, 3, 4.
[G] 1, 2, 3, 4.
So that little riff sort of leads into the 1.
But the riff itself goes, open, [C]
4th [G] chord on the 5th position.
Open, [Bb] flat 3rd on the 3rd [G] position.
And then 1.
Let's do that again.
Just do that over the 1 chord for most of the first 4 bars.
Except for the last, the last of the last little bit of those 4 bars before you play [F] anything really.
Just a bit of a fill, or just don't play anything.
And then the last note of the riff is the [C] 1st beat of the bar.
And when [F]
you go [C] to the 4 chord, you know I'm here.
[G] [C] [G] I just played the 1 there as a little riff over the 4 chord.
But you're still on the 4, [C] you can stay there the whole time if you want.
[G]
And again because that last note of the riff is the 1st beat of the bar, the new chord,
you need to start the riff just before there.
We [E] can get all complicated with it, the best thing is going to be to hear it once you've figured [G] out where to put that riff just by listening to it.
Then you'll get it.
Then, that's just over 12 [D] bars, so we're over 5.
I'm a Gucci Gucci man, [C] the whole round world [G] knows I'm here.
And then we've got the turnaround at the end.
The turnaround we're using a lot [Fm] of b7 to the 1, back to the [G] b7, and that b7 is there on the 3rd position in the middle string.
And then down a semitone or a time slot.
[Em]
[G] [D]
Pick [G] that however you like, you can follow my fingers there if you want to do it the same as me.
The main thing is that you're [E] sliding up to the 5, the 5 is [G] always the
If you're going [E] to turn the blues around you do it at the 5 chord.
[G] And that's it.
Good song.
Gucci Gucci man.
You can use that riff in lots of different contexts, there's lots of other songs that do that.
Manish Boy, similar sort of tune but it's just on the 1 chord.
There's probably others.
That's a classic sort of Willie Dickson thing to do.
It works [Eb] really well on the 3-strings, [G] the go box would slide.
Ok, so it's a good example of how a shuffle fits over a 12-8 foot, over a 3 foot.
I was born.
You got a boy child coming.
Be a son of a gun.
We call you pretty women.
All jump and shout.
And the world gonna know.
What it's all about.
You know [C] I'm him.
