_ _ _ [D] It's really [G#m] it's drop D tuning and you get that big [C#] power _
_ Sounds good.
So here's [C] a reference point.
I'm down a half a [G#] step _ _
There's my a which is really G sharp, but just [B] you can tune along with me [G#] if you want
_ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ And [E] match up your [C#] six
_ Which is you low D _ to your regular D _ _ _
_ _ _ _ All right repeat [C#m] that if you need [C#] to or whatever so you're in tune but they _
Basically you want to be D, but a half a step lower than standard a 440 tuning.
_ I
Do most all my stuff [G] in E [C#] flat.
It's just it's a lot easier less tension
[C#m] _ _
Easier to play on the fingers strings easier to sing.
So [G] let's look [B] at a wake up little [C#m] Susie

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[C#] _ To the
One more part [C#m] is the coda there we'll go into that in a minute.
Let's break down [C#] the verse
_ _ Big D all the [E]
strings half
Slide it up to do [F#] a G
_ [E] _ _ back to the F [C#] D
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ Strike that
[F#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ That's the basic lick that's the major lick of this song then the G [C] is up here
You can play just [F#] these two which are five five _ open or you can add that little um, five five open _ four _ _
That's a G
_ _ Last time said just do [C] those two and I'm bouncing
I'm getting my bass notes in when you're acoustic [B] solo artists
You gotta have as much bass as possible and rhythm so you're the [C#] bass player and the drummer
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Notice I'm hitting just mostly these three strings when it says we both _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Move silver it's four o'clock _ _
You're in trouble be _ they come to an [G#] A
_ _ _ [F#] G _
_ _ [G#] _ _ Or a seven
_ _ What are you gonna [F#] tell your [G#] _ mom [C] now kind of [G#] muffle right there?
What [F#] are you gonna tell your [G#] friends? _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
D back a pretty basic _ last part [D] the code is
[F#] I [C#] told you mama should be home at 10
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Suzy baby looks like you could be damn
_ Geez not doing a wake up blue [G#m] _ Susie [F#] to G _ [G#] actually a
_ Cut we gotta [C#m] go _ _
intro
[F#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] Main thing is get that big drop D a lot of guys play it in D
But they don't get the drop D and the drop D will give you [G] that big power and then you're just switching your G and your
A along so it really [A#m] it's only two chords.
You gotta kind of [G] switch around out of the ordinary
