[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ We've [Abm] done a little pop, we've done a little rock and roll, and now it's time to do a little
funk and soul with Grapevine on the guitar.
The guitar is tuned standard _ _ _ EADGBE. _
And we're
going to start by doing [C] some fifths.
The [Eb] intro of the song starts like this.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
So we're starting
with an E flat [Ebm] 5 here _ at the [E] 6th fret.
Now if any of these chords are unfamiliar, go
to Chord Tutorial _ 113 on this channel and I'll show you how to do every chord in this
song with tabs.
That's Chord Tutorial 113. _
E flat [Eb] 5.
_ And then we're going to move [Gb] up
to G flat 5 _ and then down to _ [Abm] F5.
[Fm] _ _ Now that was the [Ebm] 6th fret, _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] the 9th fret, _ _ and the [Fm] 8th
fret. _
And we're going to play this.
[Eb] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
And we're just [E] strumming the A and D [Eb] string on that.
Like that.
So we're _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
going to do that [C] and then we're going to go into these chords.
[Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now what
[E] that is, is an E [Eb] flat minor [Ebm] 7 to _ _ [Ab] _ an F [Fm] minor 7 _ _ and [Ebm] back.
_ _ Okay, so we're doing [Gb] this. _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
Now
once we get into the song and start the verse, we're going to do [Ebm] _ the same thing.
_ We're going
to keep that going.
Okay, [E] so let's do the whole thing.
It goes something like this.
[Eb] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Ebm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
Alright [C] so we're into the song now.
So we're doing our E flat minor [Ebm] 7 to F minor 7.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] Then
we're going to go to a B flat [Bb] 7 to [Ab]
A flat 7.
And then we do that [A] again.
[Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ The next thing
we're going to do is the pre-chorus.
You could have told me yourself.
Where we go to a C
minor [Cm] 7, _ _ _ _ back up to A flat [Ab] 7, _ _ _ _ _ and then [E] E flat minor 7 [Ebm] to _ _ _ A flat 7. _ _ _ _ _
Okay, so here we go.
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Alright, that's our pre-chorus. _ _
Next we're going to do the chorus, which [Eb] is like this.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ That was an E flat 7 _ to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ an A flat 7, alternate form. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So that's, I heard it through the grapevine.
_ Not much longer will you be mine.
_ I [Eb] heard it through the _ grapevine.
_ And it's just a
[Bb]bout to lose my mind.
And then you go back [Eb] to. _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Okay, now that chorus again, we're strumming
this way.
1, [Bbm] 2, 3, 4.
So we're [Gm] on the 2 beat and the 4 beat.
We're going down strumming.
Okay, [Eb] 1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, [Ab]
2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2,
3, 4.
1, [Eb] 2, 3, [Bb] 4. _ _ _ _
[Eb] We're [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ back into the [Ab] song.
Alright, now those are all the parts you need
to know to play _ grapevine.
Okay, _ _ thanks for stopping by and have a great day. _ _ _ _ _ _
