Chords for ♪♫ Creedence Clearwater Revival - Lookin' Out My Back Door (Tutorial)

_ _ Hi, thought I would do a tutorial now for a really cool Creedence Clearwater Revival song, Looking Out My Back Door.
I have covered this one a while ago and I love playing this song.
I just heard it again on the radio [D] today and realised I hadn't done a tutorial for it, so [G] here we go.
_ [E] Your capo, if you want to put a capo on to keep it in tune with the album version, put it on the first fret.
Alright, [F] _ [Fm] now the intro and verse chords are [Bb] the same.
The chords you are going to need are A, _ _ _ [Gm] _ F sharp [Gb] minor, _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] D, [Eb] _ _ [Bb] A, _ _
_ [F] _ _ E, E or E7.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F]
On the E I like to introduce that little, _ _ _ play that second string on the second fret.
Not [E] quite sure what the name of that [F] chord is.
_ _ [Bb] _ Back to the A.
_ _ _ _ Strum is more or less down, down, down, up, down, up, down, down, down, up, down, up, down, down.
Except it's just really fast. _
_ _ _ Quite a quick song. _
So the intro will go like this.
A, _ _ _ [Gm]
F sharp minor, _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Bb] D, [F] A, E, E, [Bb] E7. _ _ _
_ _ And those chords keep up through the verse as well. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
So, we'll just break that down very slightly. _ _
_ Actually, it's exactly the same as the intro. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
D, A, _ [F] _ _ E, _ E with that _ second string in [D] there.
Second fret there. _
_ _ Release it.
_ _ [Bb] _
Optional, you don't have to do [F] that.
Just go E to E7 if you'd [Bbm] rather.
_ [G] Okay, so that is the verse.
The same runs [Bb] straight through into verse 2 as well. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] So we can see that [Gm] strum.
_ Even though it's the down, down, down, up, down, up, down, down, it's a [Ab] quick up, [Gm] down.
_ _ _ _ Like that.
Down, down, down, down, down, down, [F] down.
D, _ [Bb] _ [F] A, E, E, E7.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ Now, [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ we need [F] the_ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ Okay, [F] so for that it's just like I E.
[Cm] I suppose you could argue it was E7, [F] whatever you like. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] Back to F sharp minor. _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ So [Fm] no different chords, just in slightly different order there.
[F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[F] _ And then [Bb] the same chords as the intro. _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] Okay.
_ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ Now, [F] those of you familiar with this song [Bb] will know that there's a key change in this one [Bb] now.
And that more or less [Gb] starts after the fourth [Cm] verse or something where the solo comes in.
[Fm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Where unfortunately we're going to need to [Ab] put some more [Gb] bar chords in.
Effectively it goes up a [F] couple of steps.
[Gb] So more or less, if you could quickly [Ab] whack your capo up two, you could [G] play the same chords.
[Gb] But obviously it's a pretty quick song and you can't just stop to move your capo.
So your [C] fingers are basically going to have to act [Bm] as the capo for the [G] same chords, more or less, but just up two frets.
[D] So, _ _ [Bb]
to run into that _ chord change, it's just the open fifth [A] _ _ on the sixth string, the fourth fret.
[Ab]
Sixth string, third fret.
[G] _ Then into a F sharp. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] Then D.
[Fm] _ _ [C] _ B.
_ _ B.
[Am] _ _ _
A flat minor.
Yeah. _ _
[G] Then F sharp.
_ _ F sharp seven.
_ _ [Bb] Right.
Nasty chords, so [Fm] just slowly.
_ [G] F sharp. _ _
[F] _ [Fm] D.
_ [C] _ B.
D.
_ [Am] A flat [G] minor.
F sharp.
F sharp seven.
_ _ And then play those also for the [Ebm] last verse.
_ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[F] Yeah, [C] B flat.
B, sorry. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ B.
A flat minor.
_ [F] _ B.
[C] _ [G] B.
F sharp.
F sharp seven. _
Then slow your strum down for the end, you know the tempo drop.
[C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ A flat minor.
[F] _ _ E.
_ _ [C] _
B.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G]
F sharp.
_ _ F sharp [C] seven.
_ _ _ [G] B.
_ [C] _
[G] Throw a quick [C] F sharp [F] seven back to a B in there if you like. _
[G] _ _ _ Right, so, _ _
[F] yeah, that goes.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ F sharp.
_ _ [Am] D.
B.
F _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ sharp.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ D.
[C] F sharp seven.
B to finish.
So yeah, the last half of that song is much harder than the first half.
[Eb] _ [Ab] And I guess you [E] wouldn't necessarily have to do the key change if you [G] really didn't want to,
if you find that too hard.
But _ _ _ anyway, _ that's looking out your [Gb] back, looking out your, looking [C] out my back door.
[G] Whatever, looking
