    VERSE 2:
     
  • As above - The words are:
     
    Greek medallion sparkles when you smile
  • Sorry angel, I get hungry like a child
    Green Earring, I remember
    The rings of rare design
  • I remember that look in your eye
    I don't mind, I don't mind
     
  • At the end of verse 2, after the A/D,G/C type chords it carries on
    to do four more of the riff things over an A bass.
     
  • Then comes the first instrumental break :
     
    INSTRUMENTAL:
  •  
    Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 E/A Am7 Gm7 Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7
    A6/9
  •  
    (short drum break for a bar or so)
     
  • Guitar Solo:
     
    (see below for TAB)
  •  
    Fm7(ix) Ebmaj7 Ebm7 Dbmaj7
    E/F# F/G (First solo ends here)
  •  
    B/E A/D A/D G/C B/E A/D A/D G/C
     
  • Back to the main riff over A bass. (Another solo - see below)
     
    Then it goes back to the verse at the point where they sing 'Green
  • Earring , I remember ...' etc. At the end of the verse it carries on
    with the riff over A bass and fades.
     
  • Chord Shapes :
     
    Just to make typing easier, a=10, b=11
  •  
    EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
    x0778x X79877 X57655 X35433 3XX331 5XX553 7xX775
  •  
    Dsus4/A B/E A/D G/C Gm7 Am7 Bm7
     
  • If you find the m7 shapes here a bit awkward, you can always just play
    the top 3 strings, and play the Dbsus4 without the Bb bass.
    You could try a simpler m7 shape, but the change to the Dbsus4/Bb
  • doesn't work as well.
     
    For the instrumental bit, simpler m7 shapes work fine. Try these:
  •  
    EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
    7X7777 2X2222 5X5555 3X3333
  •

    Green Earring - Solos
     
  • s=slide
    h=hammer on
    p=pull off
  • vib=vibrato
    b=bend
    r=release bend
  •  
    e.g 4b5r4 means strike note at 4th fret - bend up one semitone, then
    release bend (back to normal pitch)
  •  
    First solo comes after the second verse, over these chords :
     
  • Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 E/A Am7 Gm7 Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 A6/9
     
    The tab is :
  • E------5------------5-----------------------------------------------
    B--7-----6-5-----7----6-5----5--------8-6----4-3---4--3-------4b5---
    G-----------------------------------5------------5----------3-------
  • D---------------------------------7---------------------------------
    A-------------------------------------------------------------------
    E-------------------------------------------------------------------
  •  
    Bend that last note slowly !
     
  • After a little drum fill comes the main solo :
    E---12s11---8-10----8-----------------------------------------------------
    B----------------11---9-11-11-11s13s11--8h11p8----------------------------

    Next is the short break with the chords -same as the break between verses
  • (Chords are B/E A/D A/D G/C B/E A/D A/D G/C)
    Then another little solo (with a harsher sound):
    E-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • B------------------5-----------------------------------------------------8
    G------------------5---7b8r7p5-------5--------------5----------------7s9--
    D-------5-5--5--7--------------7-7-7---7-7-7--5--7---------7-7-7-7-7------
