[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
What's happening here, _ _ _ fairly simple note but a slightly
complex rhythm.
_ _ _ _ If I count out loud you can hear what's [Dm] happening.
1 2 [A] 3 4 1 2 [Gm] 3 4 1 2 3 [Am] 4 1 2 [Dm] 3 4.
Note that here, _ [A] _ _ [Gm] _ _
1, I play nothing on 1.
I play nothing on the first [G] beat of the bar and that makes it actually a little
bit difficult to get your head around at first but once you get it then you'll
find it after [G#] a short while you can _ you can get so you can [D] play it without
thinking about it too much.
1 [G] 2 3 [A] 4 1 2 3 [G] 4 1 2 3 [A] 4 1 2 [C] 3 4.
[D]
D D _ [G] [A] G A bottom A [G] _ bottom G _ G [A] [C] A C that's [D] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ F major in the right hand _ A C F _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] that's G C D
in the right hand _ _ [E] B major in the right hand [Gm] G in the left hand _ _ _ B major is B
flat D and [Dm] then a little run in the right hand of [G] A [D] C D.
[A] _ _ _ _ That's a C major in the right hand
and an A in the [G] bass G [Am] C E _ [Em] another little run in the right [F#] hand _ [Dm] _ _
[F] F E [D] D C.
[A] _ _
I'll
just play it [Dm] again slowly and _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[G#] I'll count this time.
[Dm] 1 2 [A] 3 4 1 2 [Gm] 3 4 [G] 1 2 [D] 3 4
[Am]
1 2 [C] 3 [Dm] 4. _ _
[A] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ That's kind of largely it.
_ Anything else is a matter of weaving the tune in
[D] amongst that.
_ [E] _ _ [Gm] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] The tune is playing A [E] D E _ [Gm] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ [Dm] E _ [Am] F _ _ E [Gm] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] A D _ E [A] F [Gm] _ _
_ _ [D] E E [Am] F _ _
[C] _ [D] _ A [Am] D [Dm] E [Gm] F.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _
Next part [Gm] _ that's _ [G] a G minor 7th _ _ _ _ G F _ [Gm] B flat D. _
The _ _ _ _ _ tune is going D E F [Am] _ _ _
E _ _ _ _ _ F E.
[Dm] So _ _ _ D minor 9th _ D F A E.
_ Little tune [D] in the right [C#] hand _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ D [F] E F [D] G A C [E] D E [C] F E [D] C D.
_ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ So that was a G minor [Gm] 7th
and _ a G F F E F is the tune.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
That's an A minor so that's an A in the bass [Am] G C E. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] And then the chorus _ _ is a similar pattern to the verse _ [C] with [Dm] the tune F [D] E D D D.
[G] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] That's an A C D [D] [E] D D.
[Dm] The _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ coast to coast part I think it's just an extension of the same thing the chords [Dm] are just extended a little bit. _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[A] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ [Dm] A F G F A F [G] A G G. _
[Dm] So that's D minor.
[A] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ That's a G in the bass and a B flat major 7th in the right.
_ So B flat D F A.
_ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
So that's A C in the bass _ C major in the right hand.
_ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] Basically the same thing same the chords going on it's just I'm holding a few more notes in the right hand to keep the tune going.
_ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ And that is a D minor 7th and 9th.
So that's a D in the bass and _ [F] _ _
F A C E in the right hand. _
_ _ _ _ Trying to think if there's anything else.
I think that's the whole song.
_ _ Okay [N] good luck with it. _
