Dukes hazzard theme  Waylon Jennings



Just two good ole [D]boys,[D]
Never meaning no [G]harm.[G]
Beats [D]all you never saw, been in [A]trouble with the law
Since the [D]day they was born.[D]
(VERSE 2)
Straightenin' the [D]curves,[D]
Flattenin' the [G]hills.[G]
[D]Someday the mountain might [A]get 'em but the law never [D]will.[D]
(BRIDGE)
Makin' their [A]wayyyyy[A]y,   the only way they know [A]how.[A]
Well, [A]that's just a little bit [A]more than the law will a[D]llow.[D]
(VERSE 3)
Just two good ole [D]boys,[D]
Wouldn't change if they [G]could.[G]
D A D D (stop)
Fightin' the system like two modern day Robin Hoods. (Yee-haw)
Great song, eh? Here are some playing tips:
1. The song is actually in the key of F, but I have written it out in the key
of D. If you want to play along with your tv set, either place a capo on the
third fret, or substitute these chords:
D ---> F        G ---> Bb      A ---> C.

2. Each time the chord letter is shown represents one measure (four beats)
with one exception: there is an extra half-measure (two beats) of D between
verse 1 and 2. It always trips me up, so I omit it.
3. The bridge sounds really good with an A7, instead of A.
4. I like to play this with an alternating-bass pattern to project both the
rhythm and lead parts while playing solo. If you are not familiar with this
style, this is basically how it goes:
i. Pick the bass note for the chord (ie. the lowest note).
ii. Strum or double strum the full chord.
iii.Pick the alternate-bass note (see below).
iv. Strum or double strum the full chord.
Put the emphasis on the treble (higher) strings when strumming the full
chords. You can jazz it up a little by adding bass runs between chord changes.
5. The alternate-bass notes are basically melody notes, so they can vary with
the song, but here is a list of bass notes and common alternate-bass notes for
the seven major chords. The numbers in brackets are "string/fret."
Chord: A B C D E F G
Bass note: A (5/O) B (5/2) C (5/3) D (4/O) E (6/O) F (6/1) G (6/3)
Alternate: G (6/O) F#(6/2) G (6/3) A (5/O) B (5/2) C (5/3) D (4/O)
Here is the tab for D, G, and A in alternating-bass.
