Um, yeah.
[N] Yep.
I'm [Gb]
gonna cut that part out.
Hey what's up guys, it's Iron of the World here.
[Ab] You just saw me play Mumford & [Eb] Sons, Winner Wins.
I hope I did a good job.
[A] [D] If you like it, let me know.
If not, if you think there's something I can improve upon, let me know.
A lot of people are playing this song right now.
It's a pretty easy song for mandolin.
It's a very good song for beginners to play.
Um, [B] some people are playing it and [D] they're kind enough to put the tabs on there,
[D] but they're only putting the chorus tabs.
This song actually has three [Eb] sections that are chorus,
and [Db] it has three sections of [D] non-chorus vocals, I guess you'd say.
I've heard the song, I've listened to the song,
[D] and it sounds like that they actually [Db] play the chorus in the beginning,
which means you start off with the chorus,
[B] and then you have two choruses in the middle,
and [Eb] then you end with the chorus that's double long, if that makes any sense.
Okay, [N] so I'm gonna start off with the chorus part.
And for the chorus, it's pretty [Bb] simple.
It's C, G, C, G, D, [Gb] and C, G, C, G, D.
So [C] the C, start off.
[G]
[D]
[C]
[G]
Now you notice I ended there actually by going back to D.
And you get that change they have [Bb] in there,
where [A] it's G to C, G to C.
That kind of helps progress [Bb] from the chorus to the actual main [G] vocals.
Again, that goes
I'll take some time to work on [Gm]
it.
Down strum, try a little down strum.
Just try it, [Db] work for it.
Okay, the main section is a little bit different.
[G] So instead of starting off with D, you start [Gm] off with a G.
And [D] it goes G, D, [Bb] E minor, C.
And you basically repeat that four times.
So it goes like this.
[Cm]
[G] [D] [Em]
[C] [G] You just notice something.
I don't play E minor [Eb] right.
[Bb] Broke my hand back in high school.
So I can't make the stretch I need to make, so I [G] do an improvised one.
[N] I've done a few mandolin workshops with some well-known people,
and they basically say if it sounds right, [C] it is right.
I can get away by playing the [Em] abbreviated version.
[Am] If you can get away [N] with it, fine.
If you can do the real one, please do it.
[Bb] It's right.
Alright, the only thing I want to mention is
If you've seen the third part of the vocals,
it's actually a little bit different than the first two.
It goes G, D, E minor, C.
And then it goes G, D, [Gm] E.
So [A] it's kind of a progression.
So I'll play it real [G] quick.
[D] [Em]
[C] [G]
[D] [Em]
[G] I hope that explained it.
So yeah, let me know what you think.
If you have any comments, let me know.
[Gb] I didn't play with a mask this time.
It's kind of hard, and as you can tell, a little obtrusive.
[B] So
yeah.
Alright, guys.
Take it easy.
[E] [Ab] Alright, guys, so I've [D] got one more thing to add.
My eye fell out.
I just want to go ahead and get this done with before I start [G] editing it.
My fingers hurt.
Something [Bb] you may would like to know is that the chord [G] progression for the vocals part
is actually the same chord progression [D]
as Old Crow Medicine shows [N]
Wagon Wheel.
Now, they don't play it on mandolin,
so if you try and play your mandolin, the wagon wheel, it's not going to sound in tune.
But if you have a guitar, [D] it's the same chords.
And if you're playing by [N] yourself in your room, it's the same chords, so it sounds okay.
So again, [E] it's just a different strumming technique.
[G]
[D] [Em]
[C]
[G] [Eb] Alright, that's it.
I hope you enjoyed it.
[D] Alright, see you next time.
[N]
