- This is a I, IV, V song in the key of E.Main riff: E (this is 1 of 10 million ways to play this lick)
- e---------12----------x-x-x--------14-12-----|B---------12---xxx----x-x-x---xx---14-12-----|
- G---------12---xxx----6/7-7---xx---14-12-----|D--------------xxx----4/5-5---xx-------------|A---------------------x-x-x------------------|
- E--/12*---------------x-x-x------------------|*Play first time through only, substitute with some muting the other times.
- | E | E | E | E || A | A | E | E |
- | B | A | E | E |This is the verse, there are four bars of intro first, which sould be
- played using the main riff. The two bars of A should be played withlots of muting and the same 14-12 ending as the E riff, using thischord:
- A9e-12-
- B-12-G-12-D-11-
- A-12-E---
- The B-->A progression should be played like this:-7-----7--6-5---|
- -10----10-9-8---|-8-----8--7-6---|-7-----7--6-5---|
- -9-----9--8-7---|----------------|
- The last bars of E should then be played on the 12th fret, using the E,B,and G strings. The chorus seems to be just playing around on thatsame pattern.
- For the solo, you can just play Em pentatonic the entire time, or switchto Am and Bm pentatonic when those bars are played.
- Lyrics:
- Woke up this morning and I had those Walking Blues (x2)I wasn't walkin' nowhere 'cause I didn't have no floor!
- Staring over the edge of the bedMy old lady lying next to me, I started to cry (x2)She said "I'm gonna take this diploma,
- I'm gonna slice you in the eye!"Well I'm alright (he's alright) (x9)
- 'cause I got a degree!Escaping through my window
- There's a policeman on the lawn outside my home (x2)I opened my mouth to screamBut my throat was full of foam
- So I'm sittin' in this cellMy fortune dwindled to a thimble full of filth (x2)
- I may spend the rest of my life in jailBut at least it's got a floor!
- PLAY TOO ..
