Brian here with 6stringcountry.com. Today we're going to learn Billy Currington's People
Are Crazy.
It's written by Troy Jones and Bobby Braddock.
It's in the key of C, so we're
going to put a capo on 5.
We're going to play C, G, A minor, and F.
And then on the bridge
we're going to feature an E minor and a D minor.
There's also a little guitar solo we're
going to put there in the middle and I'll explain that as well.
[C] [F]
[C] [F] This old man [C] he's a rat and a barn [Dm] weed
Her high-tussed beard, [Bb] swapping night joys
[F] Top-off kicks, [C] long redheaded chick
[D] Kids are mad as [Bb] hell, me, I'm doing well
[F] Then I [C] drop by and [F] people are crazy
[Bb] Last call's 2 a [Am].m., sit by the [Gm] hill
Never talked to him [C] again
[F] Then one [C] Sunday, I saw the old man
[Dm] Front page of the [Bb] dictionary, he was a millionaire
[F] Less fortune, [C] some guys are better than me
[Dm] Okay, so this song is in [F] the key of C.
We're starting with a capo on 5.
You could play
it open, but in the recording it's done with a capo on 5.
It gives it more of a different
tonal feel.
I'll explain a little bit more of that later on in the video.
The chords
that we're going to play are C, G, [Bb] F, [Dm] and A minor.
In the bridge we're going to play
an E [Gm] minor and a D minor.
I'm going to utilize the guitar with a capo on 3 and I'm going
to emphasize every downbeat of the song.
So the 1, 2, every time there's a chord change
I'm going to utilize it with another chord pattern, which I'll show you, to give it another
tonal sound.
I think you can hear it on the record, it lies just underneath the strum
pattern that we just went over with the capo on 5, but this one kind of fulfills a little
bit more of a tonal need that the song really needs in order to make it sound very full.
So I'll play the whole thing real slow.
[G] [D] [G]
[F] [G]
[Bb] Now last part, taking our index finger on the
3rd fret of the A string [C] and just going.
[Bb] So it's a little bit of a bend, not too much,
not a whole [C] step, [Bb] more of an accent.
So I'll play the entire thing [C] slow.
[F] [C] [F]
[C] [F]
