Chords for Savoy Brown, Tell Mama, Lesson 1

_ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] It's _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _
_ _ a Tell Mama, _ _ and that's what I'm going to show you how to do here in lesson one.
_ _ _ [C] Basically what you want to do is you want to start off with your index finger _ on your
D string, second fret, _ _ [A#] _ _
_ middle finger, _ _ _ A string, third fret. _ _ _
Now that's important because _ _ that lets you go into this string _ _ more smoothly.
[D#] So you start off _ _ playing your A [A#] string, third [C] fret, _ _ and then your _ _ _ D string, second [E] fret, _ _ _ _ _
_ D string, fourth [F#] fret, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _
then back to your _ _ _ _ second fret, _ _ _ _ _ then back [D#] up here _ [C] _
to your A string,
same third fret, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A#] and then open _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A string, and then come up here to your E [G] string, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ then
open E, _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ and then open _ A [A] string. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] So it's going to be, [E] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F#] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _
and it goes into [C] this.
_ [F#] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The tricky part is that you want to have both of these strings [A#] covered.
You want to have your D and G covered _ _ [C] so it goes, _ [F#] _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
so you're going to be playing your G
string, second fret.
[Em] _ So you don't really have to go down there.
If you can just keep them both [E] covered, you'll just be able to play it kind of automatically.
[C] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ That's what we're going to end up with eventually.
_ _ _ [A#] _
So _ _ _ _ it _ _ _ _ goes, _ _
_ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ then it goes back to your _ _ _ _ D string, _ _ and you do hit that twice.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ Just remember to hit that _ _ D _ string twice.
_ [F#] _ _ _ It's the only one really that you're going to hit twice. _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#] _ So it goes [C] like this.
[A] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
And that's the first lesson.
_ _ Work on that, and then I'll show you where to go [N] from there.
