Hi, Bob Schuster here for The Basic Truth.
Today we're going to diagnose the classic bass line for Chuck Berry's Run Run Rudolph.
Most people when they hear a Chuck Berry song they think that the bass line is going to default to the usual boogie boogie style.
Something like [G] this.
[A] [E]
[A] [Am] Or.
[E]
[C] For [G] this particular song it's a much different bass line.
It's based on the fingering of a riff that's quite familiar to people who know the surf instrumental Wipe Out.
[Bb]
[C] The classic Born in [A] Chicago.
It's the same group of notes.
So, for the 12 bar blues progression here for Run Run Rudolph.
It starts on the end [G] of three something like this.
One, two, three.
[C] That's the basic riff.
[F] Through the progression of the song it's like this.
One, two, three.
[C]
[Ab]
[Fm] [C] [D]
[C] So there you have it.
I hope you enjoy it and play along.
And wow all your friends.
Thank you.
Oh
[F] Reindeer, you know you're the [C]
mastermind.
[G] Run, run Rudolph, Randolph ain't too [C] far behind.
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town.
[F] Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway [C] down.
[G] Run, run Rudolph, cause I'm reeling like a merry [C]-go-round.
There's Santa to a boy, child, what have you been longing for?
All [F] I want for Christmas is a rock and roll electric [C] guitar.
And [G] then away went Rudolph, whizzing like a shooting [C] star.
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's gonna make it to town.
[F] Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the [C] freeway down.
[G] Run, run Rudolph, reeling like a merry [C]-go-round.
[Cm]
[F] [Cm] [C]
[D] [C]
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town.
[F] Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the [C] freeway down.
[G] Run, run Rudolph, I'm reeling like a [C] merry-go-round.
There's Santa to a girl, child, what would please you most to get?
[F] A little baby doll that can cry asleep [C] drinking wet.
[G] And then away went Rudolph, whizzing like a [C] saver jet.
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town.
[F] Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the [C] freeway down.
[G] Run, run Rudolph, I'm reeling like a [C] merry-go-round.
[F] [Eb]
[C] [N]
