Chords for Evil Woman Piano Lesson The Electric Light Orchestra

_ _ _ _ Alright guys, we're doing Evil Woman _ by Electric Light Orchestra.
_ _ And how do we start out with this? _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _
[Bb] That's pretty much it.
This little section right [Ab] here is done over and over again for the verse as well as the [C] chorus. _
And then there's one other little part here _ that we'll get to, but let's get this done first. _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ [G] Okay, we're going to start with right hand on a G and a [C] C and an E.
We're going to do that three times.
One, two, three.
And we're going to do it three more times.
One, two, three.
And then two times.
One, two.
_ _ Now your left hand is way down on [Gm] a low C octave, way down here.
You can't see the pinky here, but I'm on the lowest C on the piano.
_ Here. _
Two C's.
C octave.
And then I'm going to [E] move to the right a little bit to do E octave.
_ _ [Abm] And then I'm going to move to the right a little [G] more to do a G octave.
[Gm] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ One, two, three.
Okay? _
And I'm going [N] to play it just one time.
I'm not going to play it three times in three and two like I did the right hand.
Just one time.
So I'm going to play the right hand three times while I play the left hand [C] once.
One, two, three.
Then I'm going to move [Abm] to E octave and do it [C] three more times.
One, two, three. _
And then two times.
One, two.
So, _ _ _ _ _ then I'm going to [Am] have this. _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ Okay?
And it does it two times.
It's different the second time.
And I'll show you that in a minute.
But let's get started.
A, C, E.
_ Two times.
One, two.
_ [G] Then we're going to have G, B, D.
_ Two times.
One, two.
Fast.
[Am] So, bum, bum, [G] bum, bum.
Those are fast.
[F] And then F, A, C. _ _
One time.
And then play it again. _ _
And then play it again two times.
One, two.
It's fast.
[G] And then G, B, D.
Two times.
One, two.
So [Am] we have bum, [G] bum, _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
bum, bum.
That's the rhythm.
[Am] I'll do it again for you. _ _
[G] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ Okay?
_ Let's do the left hand.
[A] We have an A octave to start out with.
So, A on the thumb, A on the pinky.
_ _ [E] Then I'm just going to do a single E here.
Not an octave.
Just an E.
Then another E.
Move down to the left [D] to a D.
Two times.
One, two.
Fast.
_ Another D.
Then another D.
And then up to [E] E.
_ _ Okay?
Now this is an 8-foot hands together.
Okay.
Play [Am] together here. _
And then just right.
Now, very little sustained pedal.
Don't pedal this thing to death.
Okay?
So, it's better not to use any than to use too much.
_ Now we're going to play this [G] together. _ _ _
[Abm] Notice how I did the right hand and left hand together.
Then I played the right hand immediately [G] again.
One, two.
_ And then left [E] all by itself.
_ And then right hand all [F] by itself.
And then left hand all by [D] itself.
One, two.
And then [F] right hand.
_ _ [D] And then left.
_ _ [Bm] And then together here.
Two times on [F] the right hand.
One, two.
[Bm] I'll play the left hand only once.
And then two [G] on this one.
_ Okay?
We get a [Bm] nice D minor 7 chord here.
[E] And an E minor 7 [Gb] chord here.
For those of you who know chords,
if [F] you look at that and see F, A, C,
you think, well, that's an F chord.
Yes, but if you put a D in the bass,
then it becomes a D minor 7 chord.
So you can think of it maybe as an F chord
[D] with a D on the [F] bottom.
That gives it a minor sound.
A minor 7. _
Okay?
And you [D] can do that.
You can take any major [F] chord _
and then [D] _ _ play the [F] _
minor 3rd [D] below it.
And then the name of that note will be minor 7.
Like [F] D minor 7.
Same [G] thing here.
GbD is a G major chord.
But if you go down a minor [E] 3rd,
_ _ [Cm] a major 3rd would [G] be an Eb.
That's a whole totally different [Bm] chord.
But _ _ E here.
So we have E minor [G] 7.
_ _ _ _ So let's put it together slowly.
Starting right here.
So slowly, hands [Am] together.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [E] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Okay?
So the rhythm is what's going to be tough on this.
Let's do it again.
[Am] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F] Left, right, left, left, right, left.
_ [G] _ _
_ Okay?
And of course, [Am] faster. _
_ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] Now, [F] when you do it the second time,
because we're going to repeat [Ab] back
over and over and over and over.
When you do it the second time,
_ you want to _ leave this out in the bracket.
Don't play it at all. _
But we will play this, but it will be a slower [G] 2.
It won't be 1-2, it will be 1-1.
Well, let me see.
I have to play it.
So here's how [Am] we do it the second time. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ Okay.
And you'll actually add another E there.
Put another E there.
And it is fast.
It goes 1-2-left. _
1-2 [E]-left.
And another E there.
So put your E there for the second time.
And then, so it goes, [B] you know, in groups of two.
The first time is always exactly [D] as written.
The second [Ab] time, you leave out the bracket.
And, uh,
_ _ and play this, uh,
[E] _ _ [G] on [E] the left hand.
So here's how it would go.
Here's the first time [Am] through. _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[G] Here's the [Am] second time.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] Start over.
_ [G] _ [F] Here's the first time.
_ _ _ _ [G] Second [Am] time. _
_ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ Okay?
It does that [Ab] many times
for the verse, and then you're going to do this.
Eventually.
I don't know how many, I didn't sit there and count how many times
through the verse. _ _
But you're going [F] to do this. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Notice I [Abm] came back here, okay?
So this [Am] is the part right before the part where you're
_ [G] _
go, [D] bum, on [Eb] right for the _
chorus, okay?
This is what you do right
for the chorus, where it [F] changes.
You have F octave.
Right [Am] hand's on A, C, E.
[F] Together.
[Am] And then just right hand
You're going to play exactly the same chord, I just put a little dash
there [F] going down.
And then the left hand octave
again.
So you go
_ _ together, right, left.
Together, right, left. _ _
And here it'll be together
[G] _ _ _
and then you're going to play the right hand again, the G, B, D chord.
And then the left hand octave.
And that goes, uh, together,
right, left.
[F] So starting here. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] Okay?
Together, [G] right,
left.
Together, right, left.
[F] _
Together, right, [G] left.
Together, right, [F] left. _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ And then you do [C] this.
C octave with left hand
on G, C, E.
Do the right hand eight times.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8.
And then start over here.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
[G] E, [F] F, A,
E, _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] F, A, E, F, A, E, F, A, E, F, A.
_ [N]
Alternating the first and the second times there, as you do that.
Um, _ there you go.
Hope you enjoy it. _ _
