_ _ _ _ [E] Hi, it's been too long since I've done a
_ tutorial up here, but I've been asked to do one [D] for
[Em] _ persuasion by Richard Thompson [D] and
_ this
[Fm] _ Is just in standard [Em] tuning capo on the fifth fret [Eb] which is the same pitch as the recorded [D] version you can see
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ This is a little bit [D] higher for my vocal [Db] range, but I'm doing it just
You can hear what it sounds like
compared to the recorded [Cm] version
_ [Bbm] _
_ So [E] basically it's a pretty easy song to pick up you [Eb] just gonna learn that little [Db] introductory
_ Riff and then the rest of it is all
straightforward [C] chords
so the introduction [Eb] as we
_ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [F] So _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ that's the first half of the introduction so you're playing the
[E] Second string third fret [Eb] and the fifth string [Db] second fret
_ and you're then you're playing [Em] the _
Two together followed by the open third [C] string _
[Eb] So you [C] play that twice? _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] And then [F] a C
_ _ And _ _ [Gb] the melody for the intro is really [Eb] focusing on their first and second string
So you're just leaving those notes ring as [D] much as possible for [C] like this
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ So you're hearing [Eb] that first string [E] ring through there
_ and the next part you're playing the bass [Eb] note is the third fret of the fifth string and
[D] Then it's a little run up the first [F] string so _
[Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
fifth hammered on and pulled off
[G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ Fourth string [D] as the [G] bass new
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ Back to [F] that first shape [C] again _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The open [E] second string
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ String [Db] second fret and [D]
fifth string [C] third fret
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ It's _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] the third string open and fifth string _ third fret
[C] _ _ _ _ [C]
So _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[Dbm] once again [C] slow down _ _ _ _
[F] _ And _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] Then that changes slightly for the second half of the intro so you play the first part
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [C] _ _ On the first [Db] fret [D] on that _ _ _ _ first string and then the [F] C _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ So that is [Eb] that again that first shape _ changing from the _
Second string fourth [C] fret on fifth string _
_ _ _ _ You _ _
[F] _ _ _ Change it to the C, [Dbm] and then [Eb] you're beginning of a little [F] run tempted by [G] the promise
You can just go to a D chord promise of a dear
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Repeat that
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ See there's a constant [G]
battle deep [C] running through _ _ _
_ _ _ See _ and I stay on the C.
Don't know what [G] to do _
D [C] cuz I still
_ [F] _
Back to see _ after [Dm] all the [G] foolish things you [Am] put me through
_ So [F] it's going from [Dm] _
a [G] minor to D
_ _ [Am] be my _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] a minor
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Dm] Sorry a minor [G] to D
_ [Am] minor _ _
_ [Dm] a minor _ [G] D minor D _ [C] _ [Am] Third _ _ _ _ _ time
_ _ [Dm] But I'll always [G] be a man who's open to
[F] Into _ _ _ the deep back to your riff again _ _
[C] swish
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yes, [E] and then the little middle eight _ goes [Gb] from
_ [G] _ _ _ _ And it's written in my _ _ _ _ _ _
So that everybody can see _ _
So the C at nine to the [C] DG _ _
Just repeat
_ And it's written in my
[G] soul _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ No, I still [Dm] believe
_ [G] _ _ You [Am] go back to [Dm] your a minor
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] And then you back to the original
_ [N] _
