This is not a beginner tune
I'm assuming you know how to play bar chords and you can interchange between
Different bar chords is a lot of different changes in this song
There's basically an intro which is all guitar.
There's a verse another verse and a chorus
Then it goes back to the intro of the guitar
To a verse and a chorus what we'll do is we'll learn the intro
We'll learn a verse a couple of verses and the chorus and that should get you completely started
Some of the chords you'll need to have for example in the [Dbm] intro is the C sharp minor [A] to an a [E] to an e
[Abm] and a G sharp minor C
[Dbm] sharp minor
[B] _ _ [A] A in the verses [E] you'll have to have it
[Abm] to a G sharp minor [A] and a
[E] G [A] sharp minor a
[E] C [Dbm] sharp minor G [A] sharp minor a
F sharp minor a
[E] E and in the [B] chorus you'll be playing a B
to an a
[E] to an e
It'll [B] repeat
[A] a
[E] F sharp minor [Abm]
G sharp [A] minor a
_ _ [F] And the song goes something like this I'll start with the intro I'll do it really really [Dbm] slowly C sharp [A] minor a
_ [E] G [Abm] sharp minor [Dbm] C sharp minor [A] B
a
And you want to strum it [Dm] with some feeling a little up-and [Dbm]-down motion
_ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ Standing [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] I
Try to make it Sunday, [Abm] but I got so
Depressed [A] so I said my [E] stats on Monday, [Abm] and I got myself
Undressed [A] I ain't ready [E] for the altar
But I do Be this _
[Gbm] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] And _ I keep on thinking about you [Abm] sister _ _ _

_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [E] _ Then it repeats into another couple of [F] verses and a chorus
_ I'm not a vocalist
That's why I'm singing it very very low just as an undertone to give you an example of the melody especially with a song
With this many changes.
It's very easy to forget where you are if you're just playing the chords you
You can get lost in the melody so please forgive my vocals.
[N] I am NOT a vocalist
I was just trying to demonstrate
the melody more or less
It's it's a complicated song.
It's got a lot going on.
I mean
It's changing.
It's changing.
It's changing
This is more again for the intermediate and more advanced players.
It's a great tune.
I've done it in a band several times
I've played it open mic on acoustic guitar and had somebody else sing it which was quite beautiful I
Highly recommend
You get the chords down if you're a vocalist
Boy, you're gonna smoke on this one because it's gonna really show off your guitar playing and your vocals at the same time
anyways
what you need to do is you need to practice this song really really tight get that intro [Dbm] going with the _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ Suspended
[B] You'll want to get those chords in there and [N] all those changes
With the chorus you can have a lot of [B] fun.
I mean you can you can go be
[A] a
[E] You can also
[B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You can do a lot of different things with this song.
I've seen it done many many different ways by different people
[N] Anyways, have fun learning it.
It's a cool tune and
I'll be doing some more America down the road.
So look out for some more
Anyways, have a great day.
If you like the song and you like the lesson, give me a thumbs up
