[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ Okay, [G#] Little Girl by Syndicate of Sound.
This was a hit in [A#] 1966.
The song is [Bm] played in the key of A major,
[B] and I'll play an A major chord for you.
Standard tuning. .
[A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#] Okay, I'm going to break this song down into four parts.
The [F#] intro, which sounds like [E] this.
. _ _ _ _
_ _ The [F] chorus.
_ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _
_ .
_ _ The [E] verse.
_ [B] _ _ [G] .
[E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] And a break, which is played in the middle and at the very end. .
_ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Em] Okay, the intro.
[F#] You play it on the [B] upper three strings here,
[Em] and I'm fretting [G#] on [B] the third string.
At the fourth fret, [G] second fret, [B] and first fret.
And then you [B] walk it right back up again.
Same frets.
_ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ .
Okay, [G#] and it kicks right into the chorus,
which is played [F#] numerous times throughout the song.
[B] One, two, three, [A] four.
_ [B] _
_ [G] _ [C] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] A and a C [F#] sharp, _ and then an [Bm] A and a D.
_ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ And then you [E] move down two frets, [A] and you play a G and a [G] B.
_ _ _ _ [C] _
[Gm] And that's a G and a C.
_ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [B] One, two, three, [F] four.
_ [B] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
If you're not used to doing this, this takes a little bit of practice.
You've got to [B] start out slow, sweep the pick [F#m] down,
hit both notes, _ and [F#] then you sweep it back up and you hit [A] both notes.
Try to be as accurate [B] as possible.
So if you mess it [G] up playing it fast, slow [A] down.
_ _ [Dm] _
_ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
.
_ _ _ [Bm] Okay, the verse.
[E] E major.
.
A [A] major.
.
A D power [Dm] chord.
.
And a G [G] major.
.
And then back to [B] A major.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] Okay, E major.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] .
And then A [A] major.
_ .
I'm muting [G] the E string there, but [D] I'm playing the other five strings.
[A] _ . _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ And then a D power [Dm] chord.
_ [B] .
Okay, now I'm muting this E and the high [Em] E.
So I'm only playing four strings.
[Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [A] And the notes A, D, [Dm] A, [D] and a D.
_ [B] _ _
_ [A] _ _ And then a G [G] major. _
.
[F#] Okay, now I'm playing four strings on there.
I'm muting the A string and the E string.
So I'm playing a G, [B] an [D] open D, an [G] open G, [Bm] and an open B.
[G] _ _
And then back to an [A] A major.
_ . _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And then it [G#] goes back to the chorus again.
[F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ Okay, [E] the break in the middle.
[Em] _
_ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[D] This is an E dominant [E] seventh. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] I'm playing an open B.
_ [G#m] Now I'm playing an A [C#] dominant seventh.
_ _ _ .
[Em] That G I'm playing with my pinky right there.
_ _ And then a D dominant [D] seventh. _ _ _ _
[A] I'm playing a C note.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ A G dominant seventh.
_ I'm playing an F right there.
_ [E] And then [F#] it goes immediately [E] into the verse again.
So let me start it [B] from the beginning of the break.
[C#] .
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ [Dm] _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] A little bit slower. . _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And then it [G] goes back to the chorus. _ _
_ [C] _ [Em] _ _ _ And then the ending, which is identical to [E] the break that I showed you.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ And you [E] return back home to A major.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] Okay,
