What's up?
Here's a look at this song, and I do it slow. _ _
_ Oh_
And not all of it.
We don't need to do all of it.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
Hmm_
99.5 [B] just won't do.
There's one other part in there that's essential, and that would be_
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ So that's an [A] open A,
[E] and a [A]
fretted D to a D flat.
[Eb] Then the open A [A] drone,
[E] and then kill it.
Open E, [A] and hit the A to A flat.
[E] _
_ [D] _ [A] _ _ [Eb] Simple enough. _
Oh_
He starts with _ [E] a_ _ _
_ _ [N] Hmm_
However you want to slide that down there to a [E]
E7 sharp 9.
That's an E, a G sharp, a D, and a G.
To a diminished [G] 7 shape.
_ [Eb] Any note names the chord.
So you've got an E, a B flat, a D flat, and a [Eb] G.
[G] To a G or a G7 if [Db] you like, and then to an A.
Or an A7 if you like.
[D] _ _ [E] _ [B] To an E7. _
_ A7.
And then 99.
G7.
_ [Bm] [Em] 10.5.
_ [G] _ _ [E] _

_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ Am I right?
You got the idea.
[Gb] So it's up to you to funk it out.
Funk it up.
It works, sweet.
_ [B] Thanks for watching.
