Topic: Rainy Friday

Work today, well, sucked and all I heard on the radio was cheery stuff that didn't fit so I came up with this...and it did. Hope you like it 4/4 time around 120 bpm - Start off with Ex4 then open strum then start and use that when you transition from E in the chorus to the G in the verse again...

Rainy Friday By Jeff Gilpin


Friday, May 18th, 2007




E 4 times...




verse1


[G]Getting off work


Rain’s coming down[E]


[G]I’ve had better days


But I’m coming round[E]




chorus 1


[D]Can’t wait to get [C]home


And be all a[G]lone


Jump out the [C]car[D] [C]


Grab my gui[E]tar

[G]Slipping out a little early


So I’ll be home real soon[E]

[D]Gonna make [C]tunes


Up In my [G]room


Forget the [C]day[D] [C]


Hey [E]hey






Music only


Gx4Ex4Gx4Ex4




chorus 3


[D]Can’t wait to get [C]pickin


Or maybe [G]strumming


And after a[C]while[D] [C]

Repeat first 2 verses and throw in some picking if you’ve a mind to


Ah heck play it how you like, but don’t get any on you.

Re: Rainy Friday

Re: Rainy Friday

Same here Badeye. There's nothing like  finishing work early and coming home to give the guitar its daily workout.

Re: Rainy Friday

Hi Jeff,

Love the G to E chord change in this they go well together, (I must remember that and use it myself sometime).

We tend not to get too much rain here so I do not the enforced pleasure of extra guitar practice. Still that is one of the reasons I left the UK.

Thank you Jeff,

Roger
