Subject: Here's one for ya...

We do a pretty creative rendition of this - it's somewhat recognizable anyway! By the way, I appreciate the lyrics you sent (that was me about 2 weeks ago who asked for 'em). Might I impose upon your generosity just once more, this time for the lyrics to "Big House?" Thanks! ---------------- Anyway, here's what we got. Start with a D chord, then go to a G chord, and then an A chord. Not barre chords or power chords - just "open" chords. The rhythm is a little tricky; listen to the song to catch it. This is the opening part. For the chorus, alternate between G and A chords (I think 3 times) and then end on a D chord, alternating between D and Dsus4 (?) by tapping the 1st string at 3rd fret. Again, listen to the rhythm - it's easier than trying to describe it to you. Here's a sketchy interpretation on the solo - any other interpretations are certainly welcome. ---------------10--13--12---11---------------12---15--14--13-------- ------10---12------------------------12--14------------------------- --12----------------------------14---------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- And repeat. Then back to the beginning progression. ----------------------- Jack Long (Tucson/Flagstaff AZ) longj@u.arizona.edu
