[N] So I'll show you the way I hear the lead [E] on the record and there's a video with Paul McCartney [C] where you see
Scotty Moore playing [E] this and he [D#] does it a little different and I'll show you what he's doing there, too
So [F#] here's what I hear on the record if you want to play the bass part [C] on the guitar, so it'll go like [E] this
[A]
[F#m] [A]
[F#m]
[A] [D] [Am]
[D] [Am]
[Em]
[A]
[G] So we're gonna play open [F#m] E on the sixth string to the [G#] second fret fourth fret and fifth [E] fret
[A]
And it's kind of Paul [E] muted and then we're gonna go from
[A] Five on the second [E] and six on the third [F#m] string
Take that double stop back to the third [E] and fourth string
And then we'll do on the [C] second fret [F#] the two and third string.
[A] [F#m] So we'll have this
And then we're going to hit [C] three and four and slide [D#] up to five and six
[E] And then [F] same bass notes
Do [E] [F#m]
[A] [E]
that three times
[A] [F#m] [E]
Then you take the [G] [F#] seventh fret second [F] string.
You're going to give it a [D] pull-off [F#m] to five
[A] Then the [F#] seventh fret again [G] and give that a slight [F#] bend up [E] to and [F#] release to five
[Em] [F#m] Then you go [D#] to third string [F#] seven six four
[B] And then you're going to do kind of a chromatic thing you'll go from seven six [A] and
[Em]
So you [F#] have this
[Em]
[F#] Then your [E] D
[D] nine
[Am]
You're gonna [F#] start with the sixth string same Travis picking [Am] as we did earlier
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
[F#m] [D]
[Em] And the E you're gonna do the same Travis picking for [E] the first half and you'll have your seventh down
So you want to keep your pinky down?
Then we're gonna take our pinky move it to the first string at the third fret and we're gonna pluck four and [Em] one
And then we'll pick four one four one so we have this so far
And you do your a7 [Am] or
Then you move [A] up to your a with the six and do that [E] twice before you start in with [A] the lick again
And [F#] if you watch the [F#m] Scotty Moore video with Paul McCartney, he lets the [E] bass player do the bass part if you will
So he's just doing [F#] this up at the
[A]
[F#]
[E] [G]
[A] So what I think he's doing [F] and then the rest is the same is we're on the first string at [F#m] 12
Second string at 14.
We're going to slide that back one full step and then we'll just do a
nine and
Ten on the first and [A] second string so you have this
[F#m]
Then the notes will be just [F#] transpose them take it to the third string at 11
[A] [F#] [E]
And
Then you're gonna come to the [F#m] 12th fret 4 string [D] to 11 and 10
I'm sorry 11 and 9
[E] And then fifth string 12 11 and 10
[A] And then you're back into your picking so that's an [F#m] alternate version that
But [C] I think on the record he's up here and he [Bm] plays the bass
[F#]
Anyhow, I hope you guys enjoy [A] that
[D]
[E]
[A]
[F#m] Well, this is the acoustic guitar part of that's alright mama and basically we're playing three chords [A] a
If you [B] watch Elvis in the videos, you'll see him [F#m] from my research he looks like [D] he plays playing D [E] and E
[F#] But if you're playing
[E] Solo and you [F#m] want to do this you can do a [D] d7 and [E] an e7
So we had our pinky down on that chord so [C] the strumming [E] pattern
[G] starts out you're going to go on [F#] the a
Base note fifth string [A] open and then you're going to strum the fourth through the first string with a down up
Then you're going [F#m] to alternate to the sixth [E] string and do again four through one down [A] up
So you'll go back and forth
Now [F#m] this starts on the three and [F#] each bass line [E] is an alternating three
Four [D#] and then you [F] do two measures
[F#] [Em] Are eight [F#] more a's so [F#m] it'll be a total of?
[G]
[F] ten a's to [A] start with
three four one
two three four one two
Three four then you switch to D seventh
[D] [G] And you're doing the same thing you're playing the [D] D
root note there and then [A] a root [D] note
[Am] [D]
You go to your [E] e7 one now for this you're going to go from your open E and then just hit your a
[B] okay, and
back
Scotty Moore playing [E] this and he [D#] does it a little different and I'll show you what he's doing there, too
So [F#] here's what I hear on the record if you want to play the bass part [C] on the guitar, so it'll go like [E] this
[A]
[F#m] [A]
[F#m]
[A] [D] [Am]
[D] [Am]

[G] So we're gonna play open [F#m] E on the sixth string to the [G#] second fret fourth fret and fifth [E] fret
[A]
And it's kind of Paul [E] muted and then we're gonna go from
[A] Five on the second [E] and six on the third [F#m] string
Take that double stop back to the third [E] and fourth string
And then we'll do on the [C] second fret [F#] the two and third string.
[A] [F#m] So we'll have this
And then we're going to hit [C] three and four and slide [D#] up to five and six
[E] And then [F] same bass notes
Do [E] [F#m]
[A] [E]
that three times
[A] [F#m] [E]
Then you take the [G] [F#] seventh fret second [F] string.
You're going to give it a [D] pull-off [F#m] to five
[A] Then the [F#] seventh fret again [G] and give that a slight [F#] bend up [E] to and [F#] release to five
[Em] [F#m] Then you go [D#] to third string [F#] seven six four
[B] And then you're going to do kind of a chromatic thing you'll go from seven six [A] and
[Em]
So you [F#] have this
[Em]
[F#] Then your [E] D
[D] nine

You're gonna [F#] start with the sixth string same Travis picking [Am] as we did earlier
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
[F#m] [D]

And then we'll pick four one four one so we have this so far
And you do your a7 [Am] or
Then you move [A] up to your a with the six and do that [E] twice before you start in with [A] the lick again
And [F#] if you watch the [F#m] Scotty Moore video with Paul McCartney, he lets the [E] bass player do the bass part if you will
So he's just doing [F#] this up at the
[A]
[F#]
