CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE EADGBE
A5 (577xxx) D (xx0232)
G5 (355xxx) C5 (8-10-10-x-x-x)
A (x02220) D5 (x577xx)
Great song, lots of cool guitar playing. You have to tune down
one note (half step) to play along with the cd, because he's tuned down to Eb.
INTRO:
------
I taped this off the radio and missed the beginning, but
I think it goes like this:
MAIN-RIFF: [used in all the choruses]
E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------| Listen closely to the song
A|---5/7--7-7--x-5--7-7--x-x-x-x---| to get the timing right on
E|---3/5--5-5--x-3--5-5--x-x-x-x---| this riff.
Ok, the song starts with someone saying cowboy, then you
play the MAIN-RIFF above 3 times (I think) and then this
once:
E|-----------------|
B|-----------------|
G|------------2----|
D|------------0----|
A|--0----3---------|
E|-----------------|
Then in the verses you basically have two riffs,
the A-Riff, and the D-Riff.
A-RIFF: [play this kinda very slightly palm-muted]
-------
A
E|----------------------------------------------------------
B|----------------------------------------------------------
G|----------2-------------2------------2-----4p2-----2h4-2--
D|------2h4-------4p2--------------2h4-----------2-2--------
A|---0----------0-----3h4-------0----------0----------------
E|----------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------0---0------|
B-----------------------------------------------5---5------|
G----------2-------------2-----------2------4/6---6---4p2--|
D------2h4-------4p2------2------2h4-----------------------|
A---0----------0-----3h4---0---0---------0-----------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------|
D-RIFF:
-------
Now I can't seem to hear the D-riff properly. You basically just
use a D chord and pick some notes out of it. I do it something
like this:
D
E|------2-----3-----3p2---2--------5----7---7p5---5--
B|------3-----3-----3-----3--------7----7---7-----7--
G|---------------------------------------------------
D|---0------0-----------0-------0-----0---------0----
A|---------------------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------
E------2-----3-----3p2---2-------0h2---3---3p2---2--|
B------3-----3-----3-----3-------3-----3---3-----3--|
G---------------------------------------------------|
D---0------0-----------0-------0-----0---------0----|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|
OK, I know this isn't totally correct but it's close.
VERSE 1:
--------
[Play A-RIFF]
Well I'm packing up my game and I'm a head out west
Where real women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts
Find a nest in the hills chill like Flynt
Buy an old droptop find a spot to pimp
[Play A-RIFF]
And I'm a Kid Rock it up and down your block
With a bottle of scotch and watch lots of crotch
Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' chillin' the most
Then rock that bitch up and down the coast
