_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
[A] _ [Cm] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _
[D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _
_ [Ebm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ Okay, _ let's see.
Before we do anything, well, I'll do that later, okay?
So it starts [Dm] off
with the F.
[N] Depends on which version you're listening to.
Studio version, I believe, starts
right off with the [Dm] F.
_ [C] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ [G] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ That's a C, I believe.
It's the [B] D string, the [G] G string, and the B
string on the fifth [C] fret.
_ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [F] _ [D] _
_ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gb]
[Ab] A little bend there.
[D] _ _ _ [B] Then these next two [C] chords, [Gb] _ _ [F] _ [C] that'd be a tenth
fret, tenth fret, [N] _ D string and B string.
You mute the G [Em] string with [G] this part of your finger,
obviously.
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [N] You just move it up two strings so it's the A and the _ G string rather than
the G and, or the D and the B. _ _
[G] A little tough to get used to at [Dm] first. _ _
_ [F] That's an F, right?
[Bm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
Single D note.
[A] _ [C] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [Cm] _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[A] _ [C] _ _ [N] I believe this song was originally recorded _ _ with the drop D. _
Robin Trauer, I
believe, I'm pretty sure he had his E string dropped to a D.
He doesn't do it anymore,
but I was at that concert in New Haven, Connecticut in 1977 where the in concert album came from,
and I remember him switching guitars, and if you listen, you [Gb] can hear the plug come
out of the jack and he [Ab] switched.
But I believe that's what [Dm] it is.
_ [C] _ _ [G] Anyhow, so let's go back
a little bit.
[Dm] _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] So that'll be a G, A. _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Db] That [G] note is an F.
[Dm] _ So you skip the D string there. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ [G] E flat, _ _
7th sharp [Gbm] 9th.
[Eb] _ _ [N] D, _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Em] _ [D] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] C. _ _
[G] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _
[D] _ _ [C] _ [N] _ _ _ _
[Bb] Just grab that F and shake the [F] hell out of [Bm] it.
[Dm] _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ [F] Okay, _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ and that pretty much
covers the basics [G] _ of the song. _ _
We're looking at 7 minutes and [E] change.
Okay, [G] I hate this time stuff.
It drives me nuts.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Ab] _ _ Anyhow, [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [D] to the solo.
There's a part in there _ _ _ [Gb] that _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ is the E string, _ _ _ _ E string on
[Fm] the _ _ [Ab] 14th fret, B string on the 11th fret or 13th fret, and the G [G] string on the 14th as [Gb] well. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You
slide it up to [G] _ _ the 7th.
[D] _ _ You're going to lose [N] the first finger.
You want to mute the B string
because it doesn't [A] not sound right. _ _
_ [Abm] _ [F] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [G] Okay, and _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ that's _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [B] about it for the song.
The shuffle, _ sometimes
[F] on certain versions, especially the live, I believe the live version from New Haven in 1977,
he's really got a wicked shuffle going on there.
That takes some practice.
But we're at 9 [Em] minutes
and 10 seconds.
So [F] _
that's _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _
[Abm] it.
Okay, hopefully that will help somebody out.
And as always,
please leave some comments and let [D] me know what you think so I know
