------------------------
The above information was taken from www.crowesbase.com
Tuning: DGDGBD (Open G), with capo at 3rd fret. All fret numbers are in relation to the capo.
This one was a little tougher to tab out because Rich is low in the mix and there are
overdubs on the album version, so I had to resort to the Rockpalast video on youtube
This is a loose transcription of the basic parts of this song. As with any Black
song, improvising some of the rhythms and fills is encouraged.
Intro/Verse
Riff A
D-----------|
B-----------|
G-----------|
D--0-0-0-0--|
G--0-0-0-0--|
D-----------|
On the album, it seems like one guitar is dedicated to repeatedly playing these
open
while a separate guitar plays the following passage:
Riff B
D-----------------------------------------|
B--0-1-3-5-0-3--0-1-3-5-0-6--0-1-3-5-5-3--|
G-----------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------|
During live versions however, it seems like Rich plays a combination of both riffs A and B.
Chorus
D-------------------------------|
B-------------------------------|
G-------------------------------|
D--7--5-7--7--7-5-7-------------| x8
G--7--5-7--7--7-5-7--5-7--------|
D------------------------3-4-0--|
This part is hard to hear on the album (thanks to Marc Ford drowning it out), but this
what I could gather from the youtube video.
You might also want to try this, which is a combination of the rhythm part that's
(as far as I can tell) played and the part that's most audible in the mix:
D-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G-----------------------------|
D--7--5-7--7--7-5-7-----------|
G--7--5-7--7--7-5-7--0--------|
D----------------------3b4-0--|
Solo Rhythm
D--------------------|
B--1----0----1----0--|
G--0----0----0----0--|
D--2----0----2----0--|
G--0----0----0----0--|

These chords are held out.
