Chords for LAY DOWN SALLY LESSON BEGINNERS SIMPLE VERSION

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ 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.

[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.
