This is a video lesson on Childish Gambino's Redbone.
This is the live version that he does on Jimmy Fallon's show.
It's actually in [Bb] B flat.
Whereas the one on the record is,
[Am] I think it's [B] pitched up closer to B.
So if you want to play with the record, you have to figure out what kind of tuning he's on.
And tune [Ab] your guitar that way.
But for the live version, he does it on B [Bb] flat.
[Eb] [G]
[Bb]
[C] [D] [Bb]
[C] [Dm] [D] [C] [Bb]
[C] [D] [Bb]
[C] [Dm] [G] [F] Alright, that was just a little backing track that I made.
Alright, so [C] B [Bb] flat to [E] [C] C to [Dm] D minor.
[Bb]
[C] [Dm] And that's the verse and [Bb] the chorus.
[C] [Dm]
[Gm] [C] [F]
[Bb] [C] [Dm] [G] [Dm]
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
[Gm] Now for the pre-chorus.
It stays on D minor.
[Dm]
[Gm] To G minor.
[F] To [Gm] [E] E minor 7 flat 5.
E half diminished.
[Gm]
[A] A7.
So it's basically a 2 [Gm]-5.
[Db]
[Dm] [Gm]
[Gm] And then he just kind of [A] does the same [Bb] thing and stops.
The chorus is just B flat.
[C] [Dm] [Bb]
[C] [Dm] [Am] [F] [Bb]
[C] [Dm] [G] And that's basically the whole song.
The second time he does the pre-chorus, [Ab] he just does [Bb] the same.
[C]
[Dm] Now [C] you have the main riff in the intro, which is basically in F major.
[Gm]
[C] [Am] Alright, it starts on A.
A [Gm] G [F]
[Am] F E.
[Em] [Am] [Gm]
[Am] Alright, let's figure it out.
[A] A [F] G [Am] F E C D.
[Gm] C hammer [D] on the D.
[Bb] [Am] [G] [E] Now you get [C] C to D.
[Em] F to [Fm] C.
Back to A.
[A] Now for [Bb] [Am]
[D] the [C] [Bb] [Fm]
[A] last part, you get E [Em] to F.
E [E] to F G to [Fm] F.
[Em]
[F] [Gm] Again.
[Am] [D]
[Am] Now [Dm] this time it [G] goes [Fm] G F C to [D] D.
[Bb] [D]
[Bb] [Am] [D]
[C] [Fm] [Am] [Em] [F]
[C] [Bb] [C]
[D] [Fm] [Am]
[C] [D] [N] That's most of the song.
[E] Now near the end of the song, well at the end of the song, they do this riff.
[C] [Dm] [Am] [C] [Ab]
[C] [Gm] [C]
[Gm] [C] [Dm] [Am] [Eb] [Gm]
[C]
[G] [C] C.
[Em] Bend [D] on C.
[G] Now [A] you gotta go A slide to B flat.
[Bbm] [C] [A]
A [Bb] B [C] flat C.
[Bb] Back to [E] B flat.
[Am] [C] [Bb] [E] [G] Now you're gonna go G.
G bend.
F G [Am] to A.
F to B.
[Eb] [C] [D]
[Am] [C] [Bb] [Gm] [Am]
[G] [C] [G] [C] [Bb] [G]
Alright, that's it.
That's pretty much the whole song.
Now again, this is the live on Jimmy Fallon version, not the album version.
If you [Ab] wanna play the album version, he's pitched up closer.
[B] A G F E.
[Ab] As opposed [Bb] to B flat.
[Cm] [D]
Alright.
Have fun.
It's [E] a great song.
Enjoy.
