D-DU-UDU
{capo: 4}
{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
I think that's about it. As you can see, it's not a hard song to play, it's all in the
You'll need a second guitarist to play the little solos that I will not transcribe.
{section: Intro}
not easy to transcribe the rythm so listen to the song, roughly, the pattern goes
like:
down-down-up | up-down-up | up-down-up | up-down-up-down | up-down-up-down | up-down
So for the D part of the intro you go like this. The G part is basically the same:
-DDU UDU UDU for the first D
-UDUD for D1
-UDUD for D2
-UD for D3 then back to the first D
It's hard for me to play and count how many ups and downs, so it might not be exact.
I said, listen to the song and figure it out, it's really not hard! Here's the chord progression.
Repeat the D part twice:
|-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2----0---0---0---0---|
|-3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3----3---3---3---3---|
|-2---2---0---0---2---2---0---0----0---0---0---0---|
|-0---4---2---0---0---4---2---0----0---0---0---0---|
|-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0----2---0---0---2---|
|-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0----3---2---0---0---|{eot}
/!\ FOR THE G VARIATIONS => PUT AN EMPHASIS ON THE BASS NOTES TO REVEAL THE LITTLE RIFF /!\
Basically: Basically you just play a G1 during the verse and add a D part in between
2 lines. For the chorus, play the G part and end on a G5
[G1]You called me up this evening
Cause you wanted to know what’s going on
[G1]You give me ultimatums
Cause you don’t want to feel you are alone
And I tell you that some folks don’t evolve
They’re content with what they’ve got
I talked about September.
Fought about your taste you were on mine
What did you mean anyhow
When you said I’m lost, but there’s still time
And I tell you that some folks don’t evolve
They’re content with what they’ve got
They just sit back and they watch TV
And I tell you that some folks don’t evolve
They’re content with what they’ve got
They just sit back and they watch TV
But that’s not me.
One day, you come around to see the other side of things
One day, you come around to see the other side of things
Yes you will.
You’ll come around to see the other side of things
You’ll come around to see the other side of things.
