_ [D] Alright, here's the intro and the main riff to the song. _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [N] _ _ Alright, that was the intro and the main riff to the song.
_ Let's learn the intro because the intro's
a little bit different and that's what really,
I think, makes the song unique, _ _ is the intro
and it also is used on the chorus.
_ So here it is, I'm gonna play it slowly first
_ _ and then I'll tell you what the pattern is,
which is kinda cool, makes it simple.
[C] Alright, here we go.
_ [C#m] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Fm] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ That's it, now what's cool about it is,
it's [A] basically all based, _ it's a boogie woogie in A,
and it's all based on this _ [F] basic A shape,
which is the open string [A] on the fifth
[C] and then two, two, [B] two on the fourth, three, and two.
[A] _ _
[N] Alright, but we're just gonna play _ primarily
the fourth and third strings, that little double stop. _ _ _
[G] And that is what's going on all up and down the neck. _
And then there's just a little ornamentation.
So check it out, I'm gonna play it without
the ornamentation and you'll see what it is.
[C#] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] Alright, so basically it's just moving that pattern
all the way up and down the neck.
So let's start [D] with the first part, okay?
Here's the first part. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Alright, so to do that we're gonna start
with the one on the C, which is the fifth fret.
_ [C] _ _
_ Put it on the fifth fret.
Put your [D#] finger down on the fifth string
[Em] and play the seventh here.
[C#m] _ Then you're gonna play [C#] sixth and [D] seventh.
_ _ Then [G] you're gonna play this little [F#] guy,
_ which is just seven, seven, _ _ nine, seven, and seven, seven.
[D] _
_ Alright, little boogie woogie pattern. _ _ _
_ Alright, _ [D#] that little mini part is [C] like this.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
Alright, here's the [Fm] last part of the
beginning part of the intro. _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [N] Alright, so that is 10, [F] 10.
_ _ [Em] Nine, nine.
_ [C#]
Seven, [D] seven.
_ _ [F#] And then seven, seven again.
[D] _
_ _ And that little [N] note that's played for ornamentation
is on the fifth, we're playing the ninth fret
and back up to the seventh.
It's basically the [C] same as this.
_ [C#] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Basically the same as that, same pattern.
Alright, here's the whole opening. _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [F] Alright, now to round out the song,
he goes back into a G now.
It's all been pedaling around,
kind of getting to a different D.
_ Now [D#] we're gonna go to a G, so by doing that
we're gonna play an open E.
[E] _
That's on the sixth.
Oh, let me play the whole last part.
_ _ [F#] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] Alright, so that is open E.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _ Remember, it's after [D] this.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ So [E] you're gonna play open E,
[C] and then you're gonna play this grand bar
as if you're gonna play a big G [G] chord, right?
[D] You're headed to the G, which is [G] this.
_ _ Which you're gonna [G#] take a small stop on the F.
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#]
And instead of playing all six [F#] strings like that,
you just play the bottom two.
_ [G] _ _ _ Alright, [E] so it goes like [F#] this.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] So that's just a standard boogie-woogie there.
We're playing the bottom two, which is a G,
so we're playing the three and the five on the fifth.
Three on the sixth, five on the fifth. _
And we're just [F] playing with our pinky on the [G] seventh. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's just that little boogie pattern. _ _ _ _ _
[F] And then on the [G] last one, instead of coming back to the E,
we're gonna play the G way up here on the 10th position,
where we've got 10 on the fifth,
and then 12, 12, 12 on the four, three, two strings.
_ Slide that all the way down.
And then we're gonna go into our last thing,
which is _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ just an A chord.
Again, the four and the three _ _ _ [Gm] played on the [A] second fret.
And the fifth [C] fret, slide down to the [B] fourth fret.
_ And then second [A] fret again. _ _
_ _ [D#] And then your little dipsy-doodle on the A,
typical boogie-woogie move we're gonna play.
_ On the fifth string, we're gonna play that C note,
which is the third fret, and hammer onto [C] the fourth.
[C#] _ _
And then we're gonna round it out [A] with the chord,
_ [G] which is an open A, open fifth, [G] _ second, second.
[A] _
_ _ _ _ Alright, [C] here's the whole thing.
_ [C#] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
Alright, that's basically it, guys.
The rest of the song is just kind of a boogie-woogie
that goes from A to G. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ Walk back [A] up the A, _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ G chord [G] there.
_ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G]
And then we're back in that original intro stuff.
