Subject: Hammond Song by The Roches
Hammond Song
Performed by the Roches on their Self Titled Album
(Words & Music by Margaret A. Roche)
(Song starts in E flat.
Capo third fret and play as if in C.
Cuz who likes to play in E flat? Not me.)
Chord 1 is C with the second finger off
Chord 2 is C with the second finger hammering on
Chord 3 is F with the second finger off
Chord 4 is F with the second finger hammering on
(Intro)
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 2
If you go down to Hammond
F C 1 2
you'll never come back
F 3 4 3
In my opinion you're
C 1 2 C
on the wrong track
F 3 4
We'll always love you but
3 4 C 1 2
that's not the point
ooo oooo ooooooo
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 2
If you go with that fella
F C 1 2
forget about us
F 3 4 3
As far as I'm concerned
that would be just
F 3 4
throwing yourself away
F C 1 2
not even trying
G F am 1 2 1 2
Come on you're lying to me
(Then there's the interlude with the Robert
Fripp guitar solo. The chords under it sound like this:)
Am(with first finger off)
Am(with first finger on)
Am(with first finger off)
Am(with first finger on)
C 1 2
(Then the song modulates up to B flat.
Play as if in G cuz who likes to play in B flat?
Not me)
Chord 5 is G with the second finger off
Chord 6 is G with the second finger hammering on
5 6 5 6
5 6 5 6
Well I went down to Hammond
I did as I pleased
C 1 2 1
I ain't the only one
G 5 6
who's got this disease
C 1 2
Why don't you face the fact
G 5 6
you old upstart
We fall apart
1 2 1 2 F C 1 2
If you go with that fella
F 3 4 3
You'd be okay if you'd
C 1 2
just stay in school
G F3F am 1 2 1 2
Don't be a fool
1 2 1 2
Do your eyes have an answer
F C 1 2
to this song of mine
F 3 4 3
They say we meet again
C 1 2
on down the line
F 3 4 3
Where is on down the line
1 2 1 2
how far away?
G F am 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2
Tell me I'm okay
1 2 1 2
If you go down to Hammond
F C 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 C
you'll never come back
