Chords for Takin Care of Business Lesson

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hello, today I'm going to be teaching you how to play Bachman Turner Overdrive's Taking Care of Business for the record break.
The song is in the tuning E standard and you can use the provided tabs to follow along and learn how to play the song.
First, let's start with the intro to the song.
_ [C] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [E] _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ Okay, so for the intro and the [Abm] verse we're going to be using the C [C] fifth chord, _
C sixth chord,
_ _ A [Bb] sharp fifth chord, _ A sharp six, _
_ _ F fifth [F] chord, _ _
and F [C] sixth chord
_ _ [Ab] on the E, A, and D strings.
It's going to go a little something like this.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
For the beginner version of [N] the intro and the first verse,
we're going to be using just one finger and use the root notes of the fifth and sixth chords that we were using originally.
_ First we're going to start off on C or the eighth fret on the sixth string, so
[C] _ _ _ _
[Ab] down [Bb] to the sixth and _ _ then on the [G] A string move up back up [F] to the eighth. _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ Okay, now I'm going to teach you the bridge to Taking Care of Business.
It's pretty much the same chords as the intro and the first verse except it's got one more chord thrown in.
Sounds a little something like this.
[C] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [E] _ Okay, so for the bridge of Taking Care of Business,
we're using the same three chords as in the intro and the first verse except for the [G] D sharp chord being thrown in and it's just
on the sixth fret [Gb]
and
_ [Eb] the eighth fret of the A and D strings and it sounds like_
_ [B] _
_ So the bridge goes a little like this.
C,
[C] _ _ [Em] _ F [F] sharp,
_ _ [E] _ _ [Eb] D sharp, _
[E] _ _ [Bb] _ _ A sharp.
_ [Gb]
And played together it [C] sounds like_
[F] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [E] _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
For the beginner's version of the bridge, you're just going to start on the eighth fret of the low E string,
_ [C] _ _
_ [G] move up to the eighth fret of the [F] A string, _ _
_ down to the sixth [Eb] fret and [Em]
[E] then back down [Gb] to the sixth fret on the low E [Bb] string. _ _
[E] And when you play it together, it sounds [C] like_
_ [F] _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ So that's it.
That's how you play Taking Care of Business.
Now I hope [F] to see you at the GM Center on May 27th so that we can help break the record
for the largest guitar ensemble ever to [Bm] play a single song.
Thanks for watching.
