The Running Kind (Intro) Merle Haggard chords
Start Jamming...
Yes, good morning, this is Joe from West Virginia.
I was asked to take a look at Merle Haggard's The Running Kind intro.
And it took me a while to find the original song, but I finally located it.
Found several other people doing it, boy they do a good job on it as well.
But here's the Merle Haggard take on it, intro, here's what it sounds like.
Well, let me get to turn my unit on.
And then I'll show you what it sounds like.
Okay, here we [D] go.
[D] Okay, so it's going to be in a key of G, but it kicks in D.
And what you're doing is you're going to be on the 10th string.
And that's on the 3rd fret.
[N]
And the pedal's up, then you've got to go up to your 5th fret with A pedal down.
[Ab] Right there.
In A [A] string.
And that's what it's doing again.
[B] Then that.
[Ab] That's a common lick you're seeing [D] on a lot of stuff.
That's going to be strings 3, 4, and 5.
[Am] And [B] [Am] so [Bm] 3, 4, and hit your 5th string.
[Gb] Slide down to your 8th fret and A pedal [Bb] in, because you want the same note.
And that's what's going on here.
And then you're really working back and forth here.
And that's [E] what that's all about.
[D]
[Gbm]
[D] And that's pretty well what that intro was all about.
I guess if you want to finish out, you can do something else.
Let me see.
[G]
[Gb] [G]
I guess you could.
[Bb] [Cm] [G]
[D] That's pretty well what they're doing on the guitar.
But I guess you could do the same thing.
[G]
[C] [D]
[G]
[C] [D] Give it a run.
Then I make it.
And the part of me that keeps me moving [G] on.
And just play along with it.
That's just kind of a lot of good stuff.
But anyway, that was the intro.
I was just kind of playing around there, but that was the intro.
[E] [D]
Ring 1086.
[D] [Ab] And there's another guy that does a real deep job on that song.
I'll show it to you real quick.
If I can't find it here.
Yeah, it was on my list.
Here we go.
[A] He does an A.
Something like that.
[D] [E]
[A]
I'll give it an A or a D.
