Walk Right Back is in the key of D.
Actually they're tuned a little bit lower than [B] the key of D, so
I've had to raise the pitch of their recording a tiny bit to put it in the same key
as us.
But we're going to play it in the key of D.
[Eb] And we start with the introduction which goes like this.
[D] [Bm]
[B] Now [F] that's a riff that goes a lot through this song, so if you get this one [B] down you've got a lot of the song already.
We're playing a D, not here, but with the first string fifth fret
and the second and third strings at the seventh fret.
We're going to start at bar one of the tab with the bass note fourth string, [D] then a strum [Ebm] of, let's say the top four strings,
although [D] actually really it's just the top three, but if you do get four it won't matter.
[Db] Then come up to this D6 chord shape, it's a half bar of the [Eb] top three strings at the seventh fret,
and play again either three, two and one, or four, three, two and [Bm] one.
That [Eb] rings for the rest of the bar, so we've gone [D] one, two, [Bm]
three, four.
[Eb] Now when you add to this chord shape the first string ninth fret, you're turning it into the chord of [N] D major seven,
and they're going to play a little lick around the alternation of this new shape with the old one at the half bar,
[Bm] like [Eb] that.
So the finger is [Eb] going [Db] on, [Bm] on, off, on, off,
[Eb] together with the first bit.
[D] [Bm]
[Eb] The count there is coming back to the first bar as [D] well, one, two, [Bm] three, four, one, two and, and four.
[B] Notice that there's nothing on [Bm] three.
[N]
Notice as well that the last two hits of that chord, on and off, are stopped.
[D] [Bm] That one rings, [Eb] basically all the ones in bar two are stopped.
[Ebm] That's if you want to sound exactly like the Everly Brothers.
[B] Alright, then you simply repeat that sequence, [D] [Bm]
