Live intro progression :
Anyway, after that, the verses are the same...
Then when it goes into the "1, 2, 3, 4" (or Uno, dos, tres, cuatro on live ;-) ) you
strumming through the count, and start into this progression :
Finally, once you finish the line "...even Clinton was rejected..." you start into this
:
That's it. The verse after is the same the first, except there's a bit of a percussive
here and there that you have to listen to the song to figure out.
As a note, there's a part between the chorus and next verse where they just strum the
chords. During this part, when I'm playing I like to pick thru the bottom three strings
this on each chord:
--0---x---0-------0-------0-----------|
--0---x---0---------0-------0----0----|
--2---x---2-----------2-------2-------|
--4---x---4---------------------------|
--4---x---4---------------------------|
--0---x---0---------------------------|
And finally, the lyrics with progressions:
Play the intro progression that you like, I personally like the live intro, but if you
like telling the story, hey, by all means.
Live - E F1 Ab F#1
Album -
Down at the beach
They call me Crazy Ned
And everybody's always
Asking me what I do...(1,2,3,4)
**** After "...I do..." stop strumming, and pause thru the count ****
I go to bed real early so in the morning I'm all rested
Even though it's dark I always get the shells collected
I wear an orange jacket so the light can be reflected
Sometimes at night it is so bright that even ships detect it
In the shell community I'm very well respected
They tell me if I ran for mayor I would be elected
Shell collecting is an art that has been neglected
Not everyone can get in, even Clinton was rejected
After this, you can pretty much do what you want. But for the most part, they just
playing the chorus progression thru 'til they're done.
