Chords for Lesson 28 / By request, St Louis Blues in Key of E

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Good morning.
Hey cloudy Monday morning and the first day of spring here in North, Alabama.
_ I had a request
_ from England
_ By a gentleman who wanted to hear and see [N] st.
Louis blues or depending on where you're from st.
Louis blues
But anyway, I looked and checked and Chet did have this song and he played it and it looked like the date was 1952
So that was some sometime before I started playing and listening to his music
_ There's also a good version by Paul Yandel who was of course Chet's partner when he performed
And I took probably more note of it than I did Chet's version
But anyway, I'm not going to try to show you note for note like they play it or verse by verse because I just don't
Learn [E] things that way but I'm gonna show you the elements of this song and then you can do with it what you like _
_ But anyway, [B] it starts off the basic song in a slow meter
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [B] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ You _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] Chet does yeah
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] And then he plays he ups the meter to _
[Bb] Something quicker and I'm going to show you but it's quicker than the intro meter
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Ab] _ [B] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So it's a very simple song it's in the key of E
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
Come up to your 7th fret and pick up a couple [Gb] of notes _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Or you can pick up _
[Ab] the open E and [E] _ _ _
then [A] the A7 and _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ It's an E7 _
_ [Em] The [A] A _ and then an A7
_ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Em] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[C] C7
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
Now [Bb] what I'm getting here
[Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] one note bass line on the sixth string
_ _ You can play it with the [Bb] full E minor chord _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ That's not the way Paul Yandel played [B] it _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ That's an E minor there and [Gb] then
_ _ F sharp
_ _ [B] _ _ _ E9 _
_ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [B] _ [Em] You _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Bbm] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ So there's sort of a
_ Hit and miss [Bb] piece, but hopefully that will give you something to [E] work on _
The only thing that's any trouble really I think is that little bit of a break there in the middle
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Bass has to be done with your thumb
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ Chet does one interesting thing in there.
He gives it a _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But anyway, good [Eb] luck with it happy spring and I'll be back _ _ _ _
