[F] If you [A] listen to it up on Cripple Creek, I believe Garth was probably the first guy to use a clavinet [D] as a
Funk rhythm thing.
It was before [E] superstition.
I mean listen to that.
I always thought it was a [F#] you know for years
I thought it was a Jew's harp, but [G] you listen to it and he's playing a funky wah-wah clavinet
[Bm] [A] It was easy to do
And we tried it [D] at home
not [B] for that particular song, but it seemed to be
[Bm]
good for that it sounded like a
Bold harp.
[A] I think it was [D] a bold with a metal string

Disaffected Garth has a [A] clavinet in the organ are [D] kind of like
the lead instrument
[E] As far as instruments are concerned on this [F#m] the guitar doesn't come
Wailing [Em] up or anything and the piano just does little licks here and there as far as sticking [Am] out
The [N] thing that sticks out is this juice harp sounding clavinet thing
Just it's kind of an odd
odd construction of the song but
You can hear how it you know, it all adds up in its own

[A] sounds funny with no with no [D] rhythm in and
[E] What happens is Garth plays this [A] juice harp clavinet sound and then when it gets to [D] the choruses?
He [Am] changes
[D] To the organ he's [E] up there playing and then he comes down to the keyboard you hear it change right [A] here

Quite extraordinary [D] how the way that leave [E] on could play what he played and sing at the [A] same time
That it [D] just didn't
Mix him up, you know, I [A] mean just put [C] it couldn't put it more simpler than that, [E] but it's true, you know
[A] Well, you know people people give me good credit and I appreciate it
they think harder to play when you when you sang but it's actually easier because you play along and
You leave holes and there's where you sing so you can actually punch your voice on the [N] punch lines of a song and
By adding the symbols and different things you can cover a couple little choking patterns
It might I'd hit you there in the middle of a tune.
He was the first one that I ever saw play
one two three or rather one two three four
he would pull his hand up and get out of the way of the backbeat just simply a
Thing to do to get out of the way of the of the stick coming up, you know
And I thought wow what a brilliant way to do
To play the regular beat it kind of felt better and it made it more danceable
So when cripple Creek come around we couldn't find a place to put it if you go
[C#]
That's gonna get old pretty quick
So
So with the halftime feel we were able to
do that for cripple Creek and for three or four more that
That turned out the weight is another good example back on big pink.

There wasn't there were no rules so it felt good and [N] we went with
