Hello [B] everybody.
[D#m] Today on the menu is [C] a song [G] by Dr.
[C#m] Joan.
One of his favorite [G] story goals.
He knows about [D] 5,000 verses and [G] can sing this non-stop for [C#] five years.
[D] Anyway, I took two
verses and [G] took down the melody and made a [B] tutorial from this, [C] including a [C#] much more
embellished version towards the end [G] with a new system [Bm] or something new I try [D] to show
[A] you this course [D] and lots of [D] fun with it and get the feeling.
_ [B] So a couple of words up front.
Dr.
John sings this song and I think he has endless verses to this.
That means because
he's singing it all the time different.
I have to catch just one one or two verses and
bring this down on the keys for you.
Slow.

Okay, so we go from here and _ _ _ _ we have a look.
[N] So the first harmony is G as you know and we're picking up a bit of that G [F#] chord in the melody.
So this is a triplet starting on the 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.
So we don't play the first of the triplets.
We just play the third and the second one.
1 and 2 and 3 [G] and 4.
1 [D] and 2 and 3 and [B] 4.
1 and 2 [F#] and 3.
So this is [B] the harmony is B natural and we have the 7 here and the D sharp and again the 7.
We double the [Em] 7.
So we're coming from G.
_ [A] _ You have to [Em] practice that. _
_ [D#] _ And [C] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [C#] so [C] 1 and [G] 2 and 3 [C#] and 4.
1 and [G] 2 and 3, 4 and 1 and 2 [D] and 3 and 4.
1 and 2.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] We are here.
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C#] _ _
Those are all [E] triplets.
_ _ _ _ _ [G]
4, 1 and 2 and 3 [B] and 4. _
1 and 2 and [D#] 3 and 4.
[C] 1. _
So you have to remember [G] this.
1 and 2 and 3 [B] and 4.
And now you go to B natural 7.
So we have the 7 here, the A, the E flat and the 7 is doubled.
1 and 2 and [D#] 3 and 4.
[C] 1 and [Em] 2 and 3 [E] and 4.
[C#] 1 and 2 and [G] 3 and 4.
[G] 1 and 2 and 3 and [D] 4.
1 and 2 [A] and 3 and 4.
[G]
1 and 2 [Em] and 3 and 4.
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and [D] 1 and 2. _
_ That's basically [G] it. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ Now you might ask what did I do there.
And if you play [G] solo then and you're a bit more advanced you can embellish a lot of it.
And so we take this. _
Yeah.
You have to, you can, must or can trill this one. _
