PRE-Verse: (The F9 to F13 movement is really what defines this song): |Bb |Bb Bb7 |F9 F13 |F9 F13 |Bb |Bb | VERSE & Chorus: F9 Bb Bb7 Oh, oh please, won't someone bury mine for me? F9 F9(#5) F9 Bb 'Cause I'm all broken up, I could use, I could use a steady hand Eb Bb Oh there ain't nothing in this world, oh nothing wrong except your soul, he scats B C C13 Still he never shows, that I would not know, nothing to do with the fifty thousand B13 Bb13 F7 F13 F7 F13 dollar rewaaaard, although! On the last 4 chords above, he uses the same lick as in measure 5 of the intro. ----- He then returns to the 'Pre-verse': |Bb |Bb |F9 F13 |F9 F13 |Bb |Bb | Followed by the verse and Chorus. Same lyrics, although he's loose with it as always :) ----- OUTRO: The common bluesy trick of hammering on from the minor to major third is used here, while strumming only the top 4 strings: (again, > means just keep strumming the chord) Bb Bb |--6----6-6>-----|---6----6-6>-----| |--6----6-6>-----|---6----6-6>-----| |7---6h7--7>-----|6h7--6h7--7>-----| |8---8----8>-----|8----8----8>-----| |----------------|-----------------| |----------------|-----------------| The song then finishes with these chords: |F9 F13 |F9 F13 |Bb | ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
