I think I've got the G and C chords right but if you know of any better positions for them let me know. It also sounds good to play them G(320033) and C(x32033) INTRO: ------ RIFF1: G C G C G C G E|------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------| A|-----2---3-2------2---3-2------2---3-2----------| E|--3----3-------3----3-------3----3-----3--------| Play that twice and then start strumming the chords G C G C (Actually, in the verses the guitar plays something like this:) RIFF1B: G C G C G C G E|------------------------------------------------| B|-----0---1-0------0---1-0-----0---1-0-----------| G|--0----0-------0----0------0----0-----2-0-------| D|------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------| But when I'm playing this song I usually just strum the chords. VERSE 1: -------- G C G C When I'm a-walking, I strut my stuff G C G Then I'm so strung out G C G C I'm high as a kite, I just might G C G stop to check you out CHORUS: ------- Em Let me go wild C like a blister in the sun Em Let me go wild C D Big hands I know you're the one VERSE 2: [play like verse 1] -------- Body and beats, I stain my sheets I don't even know why My girlfriend, she's at the end she is starting to cry CHORUS: [play same as previous chorus] ------- Let me go wild like a blister in the sun Let me go wild Big hands I know you're the one INTERLUDE: ---------- Just play the verse chord progression and the tab that you can see at the top of the file marked RIFF1B and end on an harmonic at the 12th fret of the G string G|--<12>---| VERSE: [play same as previous verses] ------ When I'm a-walking, I strut my stuff Then I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite, I just might stop to check you out When I'm a-walking, I strut my stuff Then I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite, I just might stop to check you out Body and beats, I stain my sheets [you can hardly hear the I don't even know why guitar here, whisper] My girlfriend, she's at the end she is starting to cry When I'm a-walking, I strut my stuff Then I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite, I just might stop to check you out CHORUS: [play same as previous choruses] ------- Let me go wild like a blister in the sun Let me go wild Big hands I know you're the one [end with verse chords played twice] In almost every Femmes song there's a great bassline. Here's my attempt at transcribing the bassline for this song: VERSE-BASSLINE: G C G C G C G G|--------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------| A|-----2---3-2------2---3-2------2---3-2-0----| E|--3----3-------3----3-------3----3-------3--| CHORUS-BASSLINE: Em C G|------------------------------------------------ D|------------------------------------------------ A|-----5h7------5h7-5h7---3--2--0-----3--3-2-0---- E|-0---------0---------------------3-----------3-- Em C D G-------------------------------------------------------------------| D---------------------------------------3h4---3h4---4---------------| A-----5h7-----5h7-5h7---3--2--3--4--5-------5-----5---5-4-3-2-1-0---| E-0--------0------------------------------------------------------4-| and then right back to the verse bassline. OK, there you have it. ********************************************************************** Questions, comments, corrections, requests, send to: qualitytabs@hotmail.com ********************************************************************** Visit the QUALITY TABS INC.
