[E] [D]
[E] [D] [A]
[D] [E]
[D] [B] [G]
[E] [D] [E]
Welcome everyone.
We're going to do a pretty simple song, but powerful nonetheless.
This song was cited [G] by Jimmy Page in the movie, It Might Get Loud, is really inspiring him.
[E] Four chords in the song.
[D] D to [E] E, and [D] then you do that again.
[E] [Ab] These are down strokes, and you want to stroke all the [D] strings.
[E]
On that first D, you don't want to catch the open E, but you want to go from [D] A,
[E]
and then do all [Eb] the E.
So [A] you've got two counts of that, D, D, to E, and then you do D, D, to A.
[D] [A]
I think you want to do a proper A.
You [D] can do an A power chord, but [E] I hear that bottom E string ringing out.
[A] And then another D, D, [D] to E.
[E] [Em] And then you're going to kind of turn it around with a D to a [D] B7.
The way he does a B7 [G] is he kind of strikes the first couple of notes here on the fifth string [Gm] and the fourth [B] string.
As he's getting his fingers [G] in position on the second [G] fret, respectively, the third string [Bb] and the first string,
and the second string stays [B] open, so you've got this.
So it's kind of a two-part strum.
[Am] And then you do a little lick.
You're going to go from the, [G] starting on the first string, third [Em] fret, second string, same.
[Bm] Third string, you're going to go to the [G] second fret, fourth string, second fret, fifth [B] string, same thing.
And then when you get to the [G] sixth string, you want to pull that G as you hit it down.
[E] Just a quarter bar.
And then let [G] that E ring.
[E]
And then you repeat the riff [D] again.
[E]
[D] [A] [D]
[E] [D] [B]
[A] [E] [G] For this third full measure, you come [D] through, you're going to start with the D to E.
[E]
And then you're [G] going to come up to [Gb] the twelfth fret on the [Bm] first and second string,
and the [G] third string at the thirteenth fret.
So we're [E] referencing an E chord.
Just an octave higher, [Bm] but we're only playing that triplet.
[Bb] And it's four [G] counts of four, so he does it for a total [E] of sixteen.
And then he's sliding in also.
And then you end up back on the [A] A.
And then you [D] go back to D and E.
[E]
And we're going to finish up this measure with a D to [D] B7.
[B]
[G] [E]
Okay, so [G] you got that.
Now, this last measure, he adds one other little thing to the song.
You're going to start the measure again with [D] two D's to E.
[E]
[D] [E] [D]
You hit the [A] A.
If your [G] amp has it, you want to turn on your tremolo.
The tremolo I've got set at an intensity of seven and a speed of just over eight.
[Ab] It seemed to match the recording as [E] best.
So if you have tremolo on your amp, you add that when he hits the A.
[A] [D] [E]
[D] [B]
[G] [E]
[E]
And that kind of [G] continues on throughout the end [Bb] of the song,
maybe about another measure of it, and then [Abm] he fades out.
[E] [D] [A]
[D] [E]
[D] [B] [G]
[E] [D] [E]
Welcome everyone.

As he's getting his fingers [G] in position on the second [G] fret, respectively, the third string [Bb] and the first string,
and the second string stays [B] open, so you've got this.
So it's kind of a two-part strum.
[Am] And then you do a little lick.
You're going to go from the, [G] starting on the first string, third [Em] fret, second string, same.
[Bm] Third string, you're going to go to the [G] second fret, fourth string, second fret, fifth [B] string, same thing.
And then when you get to the [G] sixth string, you want to pull that G as you hit it down.
[E] Just a quarter bar.
And then let [G] that E ring.
[E]
And then you repeat the riff [D] again.
[E]
[D] [A] [D]
[E] [D] [B]
[A] [E] [G] For this third full measure, you come [D] through, you're going to start with the D to E.
[E]
And then you're [G] going to come up to [Gb] the twelfth fret on the [Bm] first and second string,
and the [G] third string at the thirteenth fret.
So we're [E] referencing an E chord.
Just an octave higher, [Bm] but we're only playing that triplet.
[Bb] And it's four [G] counts of four, so he does it for a total [E] of sixteen.
And then he's sliding in also.
And then you end up back on the [A] A.
And then you [D] go back to D and E.

And we're going to finish up this measure with a D to [D] B7.

[G] [E]
Okay, so [G] you got that.
Now, this last measure, he adds one other little thing to the song.
You're going to start the measure again with [D] two D's to E.
[E]
[D] [E] [D]

If your [G] amp has it, you want to turn on your tremolo.
The tremolo I've got set at an intensity of seven and a speed of just over eight.
[Ab] It seemed to match the recording as [E] best.
So if you have tremolo on your amp, you add that when he hits the A.
[A] [D] [E]
[D] [B]
[G] [E]
[E]
And that kind of [G] continues on throughout the end [Bb] of the song,
maybe about another measure of it, and then [Abm] he fades out.
