[A] [D] [A]
[B] [A]
[D] [A] [D]
[Am]
[A] [E] So what we're doing here, we're doing an A, [Eb] and we're doing a double stop on the third
and second string, [B] and then we hit the [Bb] fourth string [B] at the seventh fret.
[Em] And we kind of stretch the double stop down a little bit.
[A]
So I'll do that again.
And then we come [Bb] up to the tenth [Eb] fret, and we hit on the B string, the second string,
[A] that note.
[Eb] Then we come back to [A] our A.
So I'll do that again.
[Db] When we're back to our [Bb] A, we're going to hammer on our [Eb] little suspended chord.
So we're going on to the third fret with the second string, and fourth fret with the fourth string.
[D] [A]
[E] Then we come in with a ninth chord, [Eb] and we're coming in from a D flat, or [Db] C sharp ninth,
[B] sliding in to [Gb] a D ninth.
Because we're in the key of A, we're coming in on the [Eb] fourth of the key of A, which [B] is
D.
[A] A on the sixth root, [Em] right below it is your fourth, [D] which is D.
[Bm] So we're doing a D ninth.
Our root [Db] is our first note, D.
And the rest of the [D] notes follow here.
[Am] D ninth.
[Bb] So we slide in from a D flat ninth to a D ninth.
[Gb] [D]
[Gb] Then [Db] we come back to the A.
Just hit the [A] A straight.
If
[D] [Gb] [Ebm] you want to color it, you can stretch your pinky down to the seventh fret.
You can stretch your pinky down to the seventh fret, and hit the B and E string.
[D] [Gb]
[D]
[Am] [A]
[Am] [Bm] [Am]
[A] [Db] Okay.
Then we come to the five.
We do the fourth twice.
[Em] And we come to the five, which [E] is E.
[D] [Am] [A]
[Eb] Okay so that's the gist.
That's basically the whole song.
It's in the [A] key of A, so you can use [C] the A minor pentatonic [D]
[C] for [Eb] your solos.
I hope you enjoy.
It's a great blues song.
The audience really digs it when you do some distortion to it.
So I hope you enjoy.
