Chords for Bring it On Home Lesson - Led Zeppelin, Sonny Boy Williamson

[F] Hey y'all, I figured as long as I got the guitar out and I'm working on Zeppelin II songs, [E] we might as well do _
Bring it on Home Too while we're at it, [Gb] because that's another easy one.
And another one that confuses people.
So [B] once you get the secret of it, [D] it's easy.
So it starts off with that blues it's the
[Ab] _ Who does that?
Howlin' Wolf does that one?
Bring it on [E] Home, that _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
part.
_ Which is just a typical sort of blues
_ _ Chugga-lug kind of thing.
[G] So it's played on two strings, the E and the A string, right?
And it's A string two to four, you [E] know that.
_ _ _ [G] _ [B] _
So on E string [G] [Ab] three, [B] four,
then A at the [E] second.
And [B] in fact if you're just beginning,
work on that over and over, just sit and play [E] that for ten minutes.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] That's a good practice.
I've seen some people [E] play it like this. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But that's not what he's doing, he's doing that.
[B] _
_ [Db] Not at [B] the fourth fret, but the second.
At least to my ear, that's what [E] it sounds like.
_ _ [A] So that's the hey-bay, all the harmonica stuff.
Then the second one is doing the same thing except on the A and the D string. _ _ _ _ _ _
Right.
I mean, on the live versions he'll play [E] around with it and _ go_
_ _ _ _ _ [B] So he's messing around, but this is the studio one on the album.
[A] So on the A _ _ it's_
_ then [E] back to the E.
_ _ [Gb] And if you listen to the Howlin' Wolf version, it's not a full 12 bars.
He doesn't go up to the B, the 5 chord, until sort of the end of the song.
But in the Zeppelin one, since they kind of abbreviated it, it [B] goes up to B.
_ [D] I [B] guess you could play it up here.
_ _ But that's, you know, B, A, second fret, D, fourth fret to six.
_ _ _ [A] _ Back to A, back to [E] E.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
And then it goes into the rock part, right?
_ [D] _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[C] So that, the main riff part [B] _
is_
[G] on the A string from open [A] to two.
[B] _ [G] And then the same thing on the D string.
[E] _ [Bm] _ [E] _
_ [Bm] And hit the low E string open.
[E] _ _
_ _ _ _ So on the G, you go on the [G] second [Bm] fret,
_ bend it up. _
[E] _ _ _ [A] So it's 2-1.
_ [E] _
And then the D string.
On the second [Bm] fret.
[E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Bm] And on the live versions, well on the recorded version, there's a second guitar that comes in with_ _ _
_ _ _ _ And you do that in the live versions too, [D] like when they're doing the introduction part to_
they use it as the intro to Black Dog.
So that one is G string, 12 [G]-13.
[Abm] _ _ _ [Eb] B [Db] _ string it's 12 to [Bm] 14.
_ [G] _ _
Oh, sorry.
[Db] _ _ So that's_
[G] _ [Ab] 12-13 [G] on the G, 12 [D]-14 on the B, [Bm] and then back to 13 on the G. _ _ _
_ _ _ So that's on the B string, you bend up from [G] 14.
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] So it's not a full bend up, a full step, it's just one half.
You're not [Bm] doing_
_ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ 12 and 14.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ Right, in the live versions, he would smack across _
[B] those_
at the 14th fret, the D, G, B string, and go into [Db] Black Dog.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
You know, the song is the same.
But on this one, [G] then it goes into the main riff.
[A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Bm] All right, so that main _ part_
you slide up the G [G] at the fourth and the B [Bm] at the third.
_ [A] _ _
[Gbm] That's G and B at the second.
_ [B] _ _
So that's open B string _ and_
hammer on the G at the first fret.
_ _ [G] _ _
Now, I think in the live versions, Jimmy's actually doing [A] this_
[G] _ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
[G] _ _ _ [A] He does [G] full bar chords and he bars them with his thumb at the top.
But_
that's too much work for me, so I just do this.
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ So I just_
hit the G note and the E string at the third fret [A] and then an A.
[Bm] _ [A] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ The rest of the string's open.
[A] _ [B] _
[A] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [N] _
It goes back into the main riff between the verses.
If you call _ it_
I guess you'd call that the chorus.
The chorus is playing the riff again, even though he's not singing any words over it.
But that's what it returned [Bm] to.
[E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
And that's really all there is to it.
At the end, it just goes back to the_
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Ab] That's just_
That's just an E7 climbed up.
[Fm] _ [Bb] _ [G] _ [E] _
_ [B] So that's D and high_
sorry, G [Ab] and high E at the fourth, B at the third. _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ Open E to an E7. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ I think that's all the parts to it.
[Gbm] So good luck with that one.
Let me know if you have any [N] trouble. _
