Subject: TAB: Blueboy by John Fogerty (fwd)
Song:Blueboy
Artist:John Fogerty
CD:Blue Moon Swamp
Tabber:Roger Olofsson (raggen@hem1.passagen.se)
This is a fairly easy one. If you haven't bought the CD yet, then do so!
It's a classic...
It's rumoured that John Fogerty once said:
"A good rock'n'roll album should have a great title, at least one hit song
and one great guitar riff"
Main riff
E---------0---0---------3/4--0-------|-----------------------------------| B-----------3------------------------|-----------------------------------| G-----0-1-------1---0-1--------------|-----------------------------------| D---2-------------2------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
Song is built like this:
Play main riff 4 times (drums comes in on 2)
Way back in the hills
E------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| B------5-----------------------------|-----------------------------------| G--3/4----4-4-2-0h1------------------|-----------------------------------| D-------------------2----------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|

E------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| B-----3------------------------------|-----------------------------------| G-3/4---2----------------------------|-----------------------------------| D----------2r0h2---------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|

E------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| B------3-----------------------------|-----------------------------------| G--3/4---2--2--0h1-------------------|-----------------------------------| D------------------2-----------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|

(this played over "do the show")
E------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| B------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| G-------3b4r2------------------------|-----------------------------------| D------------2-----------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|

E-----5------------------------------|-----------------------------------| B-----5-----------------5------------|-----------------------------------| G-----6---------------6--------------|-----------------------------------| D-------------------7----------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
Pullin' on a pullin' on a pullin' on a pony he goes
E-----7------------------------------|-----------------------------------| B-----7------------------------------|-----------------------------------| G-----8------------------------------|-----------------------------------| D------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|

E------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| B------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| G--4r3--4-2-0h1----------------------|-----------------------------------| D---------------2--------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
That's when the fun begins
E-----------7----7---0---------------|-----------------------------------| B---------8b9-x--8b9-------0---------|-----------------------------------| G----------------------0h1-----------|-----------------------------------| D------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|

E-----------------------------------7~-----------------------------------| B-------------------------------8/9--|-----------------------------------| G----------------------4-3-2-1-------|-----------------------------------| D------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
Up to the roadhouse and come on in
E------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| B------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| G------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| D-------------------------------2-2-2-2----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
Play refrain here
Then main riff twice
Solo follows:
E------------------------------------|----------------------------0------| B---------2b3~--0-------3-2----------|-----------------2b3~-0-4b5~-------| G--2/3b4~---------3b4~------2-0------|------0-2-0-3b4~-------------------| D-------------------------------2-0--|----2------------------------------| A-----------------------------------2-0----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|--0--------------------------------| E---------------0----0---------------|-------2---7-5b6~------------------| B-----------------3------------------|-2-2/4~--4--------6b7~-0---0-3-----| G-4r3r0-----0-1--------3b4~--2-0-----|-------------------------2---------| D-------0-2----------------------2---|-------------------------------0---| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| E-------0-------0-------0-----3-----7|-----9--0-0-0-0-0------------------| B-2b3-2---2b3r2---2-0h2---2/5---5/8--|8/10----3-3-3-3-3-5-----3----------| G------------------------------------|--------------------3/4---2-0------| D------------------------------------|------------------------------2-0-2| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| E--0-0-0-0-0-------------------------|-----------------------------------| B--3-3-3-3-3-5-----3-----------------|-----------------------------------| G--------------3/4---2-0-------------|-----------------------------------| D------------------------2-0-2r0h2r0h2r0h2-------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|

Sherrif says it's late
E----------------------7-------------|-----------------------------------| B----------------------9-------------|-----------------------------------| G----------------------9-------------|-----------------------------------| D------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
Closing time we got to go
E-------------------------7----------|-----------------------------------| B-------------------------9----------|-----------------------------------| G-------------------------9----------|-----------------------------------| D------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
But Dooley he don't want to quit
E--------------------------------7---|------7----------------------------| B--------------------------------9---|--7/9------------------------------| G--------------------------------9---|-----------------------------------| D------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| A------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
Ain't nobody feels like goin' home
Play refrain here then main riff 4 times again
Song finishes off with a solo around the first 3 frets based on the riffs
from the verses....you should figure that out...
"Let freedom ring"
"Oh Rock of ages do not crumble love is breathing still"
"Oh Lady Moonshine down, a little people magic if you will"
This tab was created with the help of an Amiga computer and the sampling
software Audiomaster IV, under the menu effects/duration/pitch the
frequency and the pitch can be doubled, thus enabling the program to play
back the sample at half the speed but with the original pitch.
