[Gm] I'm Thomas from Mahalo and we are doing James Bond theme.
What a great song.
Little [E] Spilo.
[F#] _ _
[E] _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ [N] It's pretty [D#] easy to play.
This first chord is a little difficult but I'm
going to show [Em] it to you, okay?
_ We're just going to use our index finger [E] all the way
on the [G] fifth fret.
We're going to start here on the D string, fifth fret.
Then we're going
to use our middle finger to [C#] press down sixth fret on the G string.
Then on the B [E] string,
_ we're going to use this finger hole on the fifth fret and then our pinky is going to
land on the seventh fret, [C#] okay? _
That is our chord.
That leaves our ring finger to [E] land
all the way on this B string.
It's a little awkward stretch.
So I go.
_ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So that's [N] the seventh
fret of the low E string.
So that's our beginning and then we go into these [Em] cool chords. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ All
that is is an E minor which is [B] open, second fret, [Em] second fret, open, open, open.
Then
on the B string, I'm just [C] going up _ _ on the first fret _ _ _ [G] and then [A#m] up on the second fret.
[G#m] But I can't use that so I'm going to use my pinky to [Em] hit that second. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The _ _ _ bar chords are
awesome.
Then that [E] brings us to our [F#] _ _
[E] _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _
second low E _ and then you're going to hit the [F#] second _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] fret.
This time the third [G] fret.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[N] So [F#] let's hear it.
_ _ [E] _ _ [G] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [G] _ _ Then when you come down, this time go.
_ [F#] _ _ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[D#] _ [D] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [C]
That [Gm] is, [F#] _ [F] [E] once you come down, [D#] you're going to go.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
This is on the [D#] D string.
First fret
on the [D] D string, open D string, [B] _ second fret on the A, [A] [B] open. _
_ _ So all [F#] together.
_ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [G] Going [F#] down.
_ [E] _ [D] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ All right.
So now we're [E] on the [D#] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _ [C#] _
_ [N] _ _ _ second fret [E] of the D string.
We're going to slide up to
the fifth.
[Em] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [A#] Then we're going to skip [G#] string, go to the high B [D#] and go 4 [A#]-3. _ _
[Em] Put that together.
[D#] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Gm] And go back to that fifth fret and then go 3-4 this time on the G string.
[B] _ _ [Em] _ [D#] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
Remember this
formation because we're going to use that [E] sliding all the way up at the end.
But here
we [Gm] go.
_ _ _ _ [B] _
_ So we're going to [N] do a hammer on and a pull off right here on the fifth fret [Gm] of
the D string. _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm just picking it once _ _ _ _ [A] and hammering on the [G] seventh fret and just pulling
off while my finger is still on the fifth fret.
[Gm] _ _
_ [A] And then we're going to slide down to
[F#] the fourth. _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ That's all [G] in one take.
[F#] _ _ [C] Then [B] _
second fret on the A.
[E] _ _ _ _
_ On the [C#] D. _ _ _
So [E] _ [Gm] you _ _ _ [B] _
_ [E] _ [G] _ [B] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [D] _ [Gm] _ _ [F#] _ want to [B] pick
them all [E] [C#] just _ a little faster.
And then we [E] repeat.
[D#] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B]
Then this time instead of going.
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F#] _ _
[E] _ [C#] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F#] _ _
[B] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
Then
we go.
[D#] _ _ [A#] _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _
_ [B] We're repeating that three [E] times.
We're starting on the second fret [D#] _ _ [D] _ and then _
[C#] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ same thing you learned.
[Gm] Going [A#] all the way up to the eighth fret, _ seventh fret, sixth
fret.
Then go up to the end.
_ [A] _ [A#] _ _
_ _ _ _ And [G#] then you end on the [Em] James Bond chord.
_ _ Ah.
An E minor
major 9.
I believe that's what it's [B] called.
We call it the James Bond chord.
But what
it is [E] is open E, [G] _ _ tenth fret, _ _ ninth fret, [B] eighth fret, _ seventh fret.
[E] _ _ _ _ Ah.
So beautiful.
And if you haven't hit this high E, that's fine.
That's [B] fine too.
_ _ Ah.
James Bond.
[Em] Alright.
Enjoy guys.

It's a little awkward stretch.
So I go.
_ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So that's [N] the seventh
fret of the low E string.
So that's our beginning and then we go into these [Em] cool chords. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ All
that is is an E minor which is [B] open, second fret, [Em] second fret, open, open, open.
Then
on the B string, I'm just [C] going up _ _ on the first fret _ _ _ [G] and then [A#m] up on the second fret.

[E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _
second low E _ and then you're going to hit the [F#] second _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] fret.
This time the third [G] fret.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[N] So [F#] let's hear it.
_ _ [E] _ _ [G] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [G] _ _ Then when you come down, this time go.
_ [F#] _ _ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[D#] _ [D] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [C]
That [Gm] is, [F#] _ [F] [E] once you come down, [D#] you're going to go.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
This is on the [D#] D string.
First fret
on the [D] D string, open D string, [B] _ second fret on the A, [A] [B] open. _
_ _ So all [F#] together.
_ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [G] Going [F#] down.
_ [E] _ [D] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ All right.
So now we're [E] on the [D#] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _ [C#] _
_ [N] _ _ _ second fret [E] of the D string.
We're going to slide up to
