[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G]
So hi, I would like to welcome you for the tutorial video to the old Tom Waits song Old Shoes
picture postcards one of the early year
music of him where he had a very nice and
Quite a high voice if you compare it to what it was afterward
It's actually a great beginner song because it has just three chords that you need to know and these are quite simple standard chords
[N] So let's go directly into the song
What you need first is a
Four-finger G.
That's how I usually call it.
So you have your middle finger on the second fret
[A] the big string here, [G] then you have your index [B] finger on [G] the
second string and
The second fret and then you have your ring finger and your pinky also on the third fret on the two bottom strings
So that's the four finger G
_ _ The second chord you need to know is called C at 9
It's also quite a simple chord
Because you can take this chord shape as you have it here and just take the two upper finger.
So the index and
The middle finger just one fret down each so we have [C] then
This is third fret
second fret zero
So [G] open string and the two [Em] bottom strings are still
So that's the C at 9 and you don't play the [E] bass string the E string here so [C] just go for this
[G] _
So that's the second one and the last is actually a standard D chord so you have the [D] fourth string open
[E] then the
[F] Third string [A] is [D] two
Second string is one and the first string here [G] is also
[E] three two, sorry, [G] so we have
_ _ XX
zero two three [D] two
_ _ [G] Okay
Good, and that's actually the whole song.
So what you can do now is play the
G chord
[C] You go to the C chord
[G] and back to the G
_ [D]
D chord _ [G] back to G
_ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ [D] C
[G] That's for the verse
So it goes like for example [F] first verse it [G] goes like this
singing this [C] song
Cuz it's [G] time it was sung I've been putting it [D] up for a while
Of course [G] as it's harder by now
[C] Truth is so clear [G] that I'm [D] cry when I'm seeing [G] you smile
[D] _ _ [G] [N] and then you come to the chorus, which is
More or less exactly the same.
So you also start with GC GC GD
GC GC and then GD GD.
So for demonstration [G] you go start with the G
so the by [C] So long
[G] The road [C] calls me [G] there and your tears cannot bind [D] me anymore
he court _ [G] and
Farewell [C] G the girl [G] see with the sun in [C] her [G] eyes
Can I [D] kiss you and then I'll [G] be [D] gone?
_ So quite simple [G] as you see there's one nice
Verse that you actually play the way where you can do a whispering part, which is quite nice in the original recording
So and then it's just exactly the same as I showed you for the verse so it goes like this
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
So [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ that's the whole song and in the end you just
Have the part where [E] he sings and I kiss you and then I'll be gone and they're just alternate the [Eb] G and [G] D chord
_ Can I kiss [D] you and then I'll [G] be [D] gone
Can [G] I kiss [D] you and then [G] I'll be gone
And you end up with a G chord and that actually the whole song
