I don't know if this will be of interest to you or your tab
reading afficionados, but this is the transcription of a song a little
known British band have been known to do mid-set. I don't think a
recording exists. It is devestatingly simple, yet quite catchy, operating
with an acoustic guitar and (preferably) a Tibetan backbeat.
Arse McShannon & his Himalayan Band - Reet Snowy Peaks
Introduction :
This is a strummed open D7 chord with the picking :
e---------0--2----0--2wwwwww---| B-------3------3---------------| G------------------------------|
Over which is sung, "Oh there be"
Verse :
Reet snowy peaks
Reet snowy peaks NB The D's are played and then
D slid up an octave up the neck
Reet snowy peaks
Reet snowy peaks
Reet snowy peaks let's go once more
Repeat verse
Instrumental : Same chords only E-shaped barres, with riffing to the sus4
shape towards the end of this line - if you've heard it you'll know what
I mean.
Last verse : same as first with last line :
"Reet snowy peaks, lets end it there."
Then play the G/Gsus4 riff on the 3rd fret barre chord in a similar
manner to on George Michael's "Faith" Indeed, by transposing the chord up
to B (7th fret) when you've finished, you can link straight into it.
Cheers
