_ _ _ Hey, [N] that was the _ snooker theme from the 80s for those who remember who watched British TV back then and of course the original song is called Drag Racer by the Doug Wood band.
There you go and so great bit of nostalgia there.
So I'm starting [A] by playing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ basically that _ G to A on the D string but _ _ also adding the open A string. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] And then I'm moving up two [A] frets to play _
_ [A] A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ B A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ then play [G] a G chord, a D chord back to an A chord.
_ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
[B] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
And then we've got this nice little run down that [E] starts on E.
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [A#] _ [E] _ _ So what I'm playing there is E, _ _ _ then an [D#] E flat, _ [D] _ then an open [E] D, _
_ [D] _ [C] _ then to a C on the third fret, [B] _ a B natural on the second [A] fret, open A, _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
G and picking the G a couple [E] more times.
_ [F#] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[F#] _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] _ [A#] _ [E] _ _ Then play an [F] F chord, [A#] _ B flat [E] chord _ and to an E [F] chord.
[A#] _ [E] _ _
So _ [C] then [G] _ _ [F] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ we've got this nice country run [A] up.
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[E] So what I'm playing there is open A [F#m] _ hammering to an F sharp on [E] two.
[F#] _ _ [A] _ Then the same again, [E] open A hammering to B on two. _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ And then pulling off _ [A] back _ to an A, _ _ _ _ back to [F#] F sharp, _ [A] _ back to [E] A.
[F#] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ And then after that [B] I play B _ natural, C, C [C] sharp [C#] _ [E] as a hammer. _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] And then an [B] E, an F [A] sharp and _ an A.
Two, four, two.
[C] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ Then I [B] bend the B _ up and down, _ _ [A] play _ _ the [F#m] A _ [N] and then to an F sharp on four.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ [E] So all [A] together. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [F#m] _ [A] _ _ _
[G] Then I play a G.
I just play these three strings, the D, the G and the B strings.
So I'm just playing five, four, three.
_ Then four, [D] two, three.
[A] _ _
Then two, two, two.
[G] A.
So [F#m] G, [A] G, A.
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ Then we move up the neck.
_ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ So I'm just playing there an E _ _ on [F#] nine, _ F sharp [F#m] on eleven, _ A on ten.
I'm just repeating that pattern _ _ [E] for a bar and a half basically.
[A] One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] four.
And then we've [A] got, _ [C#m] then I move up the neck.
_ [D] _ _ _ [D#] So I play _ [N] a bend on the B.
Okay, so we're going the 16th note, bend it [C#m] up.
Then picking the 17th note, the E, _ [Am] _ _
releasing [G] that note _ [A] back to B and then playing an A. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And [C] then playing E on the 14th fret, D [Bm] string.
_ Hammering to F sharp, [Em] 16th fret.
[B] _ _ _ [Am] A on [B]
14, B, [A] 16, back to [D] A. _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] And then B again. _ _
[B] _ _ _ So I'm playing B, A, bend the B twice, back to B, back to A.
_ _ _ [E] _ Pick the E twice, [F#m] _ hammer to F, [Bm] A, [F#] B, A.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] And then we just repeat this section again.
_ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ [A#] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [F#m] _ [A] _ _ Okay, and then at the end we play an E [E] chord.
_ _ And I play the E chord just normally, but I'm hammering my two fingers. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So it's a great sound. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ Then I play the [D] A _ [A] and then adding the third finger and the second finger to get a D with an A in the bass.
So open, four, two, three, _ _ _ _ _ then back to A.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So I hope that's brought back some memories.
Have fun!
