Hello, we're gonna [E] do Lay Down Sally by Eric Clapton.
Now, [B] this song is in the key of E.
[D] The main chords in the key of E are [E] E, A, [A] [B] C.
[E] First we're gonna look at the structure of the verses.
Now, [D]
if you want the chords, lyrics [G] and the whole layout of [B] this song,
you just have to go to [C] my website, EugeneQueen.com
[G] You can copy and [E] paste the chords and [G] words and the original by Eric Clapton are all there.
[E] If you were to copy, paste that, print it out and come back,
it'd be organized to play along with this.
So, if you don't do that anyway, we have the verse,
start with an E chord, play it for four beats, four times.
So that's one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.
Then we change [A] to an A chord for four beats, twice.
We [E] go back to the E chord for four beats, four times.
Change back to the A chord for four [A] beats, twice.
Finish the verses with [F#] the B7 chord played for four beats.
[B] [E]
Now, the structure of the chorus is even simpler.
[A] [G] We have the E chord again [E] played for four beats, twice.
The A chord [A] played for four beats, twice.
The B7 [B] chord played for four beats, twice.
[E] And then we return to the E chord for four beats, twice.
So that's the chorus.
Now, the strum that I'm going to recommend for this song is [C] four beat strum
with a one, two, and three, and four, and, or, down, down, up, down, up, down, up.
Now, what makes [Em] strums sound more interesting or less interesting is where we put [E] the emphasis.
Now, this time we're going to put the emphasis on the second beat or the second downstroke.
And it's going to [F#] sound like this.
One, two, and three, and [C] four, and one, two, and three, [E] and four, and.
So that's the way we're going to play the strum.
Very simple strum.
So, let's try a verse.
The verse, remember, the E chord played for [D] four beats, four times.
The A chord played for four beats, twice.
The E chord played for four beats, four times.
[F#] The A chord played for four beats, twice.
[G] And the B7 played for four beats.
Now, I'm not going to, in my [C] lessons at all, get into fingerings for chords.
Get yourself a [G#] basic chord chart, [G] and the fingerings [B] that I use are mostly standard [C] chord fingerings.
[D] The E, the A, and the standard B7 fingering.
[F#] Look them up in a chord chart if you're [E] not sure.
So, the strum again.
One, two, and three, and four, and one, two, and three, and four, and.
One, two, three, four.
There is nothing that I'm from, wanting you to stay [A] here with me.
And I [E] know you've got somewhere to go, but won't you make yourself at home and stay [A] with me.
Now don't you [B] ever leave.
[E]
Now the [D] chorus.
[F#] Back to our E [E] chord again, for four beats, twice.
Our [A] A chord for four beats, twice.
Our B7 chord for four beats, twice.
And our E chord for four beats, twice.
One, two, three, four.
Lay down Sally, [A] and rest you in my arms.
Well [B] don't you think you want someone [E] to talk.
Lay down Sally, there's no need to leave so soon.
Well [B] I've been trying all night long to talk to you.
So, [F#]
three chords in the key of [E] E.
E, A, B7.
Our strum, one, two, and three, and four, and one, two, and three, and four, and.
[F#m] Get the chords, the lyrics, [F#] www [G#].eugenequinn.com
[A] Now, [F#] myself and Cormac are going to [B] play this together.
[E] He's going to play this little introduction, and [A] I'm going to lead.
[A] And, maybe [E] some days you can sing it, who knows.
Okay, [F#] so thank you very much for watching, [E] and hopefully this has been of use to you.
Until the next time.
Thank you.
Bye.
