I'll try it downstairs tomorrow on the DVD player - pretty sure it's in a similar key though. I think Quo use a lot of sixths as well, like the classic blues shuffle.....

:D :D :D

Can you tab out 'That's allright mama' by Elvis ? Very fun song, imo.

Thanks,

Enjoy!

A Mess of Blues Elvis Presley Verse 1: C I just got your letter baby, a too bad you can't come home F7 I swear I'm going crazy sittin' here all alone G7 F7 C Since you're gone, I got a mess of blues Verse2: C I ain't slept a week since Sunday, I can't eat a thing all day F7 Every day is just blue Monday, since you've been away G7 F7 C C7 Since you're gone I got a mess of blues Bridge: F7 C C7 Whoops there goes a teardrop rollin' down my face F7 G7 (no strum) G7 If you cry when you're in love, it sure ain't no disgrace Verse 3: C I gotta get myself together before I lose my mind F7 I'm gonna catch the next train goin' and leave my blues behind G7 F7 C (C7 1st time only) Since you're gone, I got a mess of blues Repeat Bridge Repeat Verse 3 Repeat last line in Verse 3 3x's Strumming Pattern: down up x up down up x up down up etc. Start on a down stroke & follow the pattern for each chord change. Where the “x” is I just lightly lift my fretting fingers and strum with the pick, and then quickly lay the heal of my picking hand across the strings to get a percussive effect. Notes: Start with an open C chord. When switching between the F7 chord and the C chord, keep your ring finger anchored on the 5th string 3rd fret. When switching between F7 & G7, just slide your barre shape up or down depending on what part of the song you're at. When going from C to C7, just add your pinky to the 3rd string 3rd fret of the open C chord. This is a good song to work on your strumming patterns, and also to practice playing and singing at the same time. Good luck & have fun! C = X32010 C7 = X 32310 F7 = 131211 G7 = 353433 ]]> Easy Songs Dan T. https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/a-mess-of-blues-elvis-presley/#post-26151
