"Movin On" by Mick Ralphs from the album Bad Company
This is one of my favorite songs, so I decided to share it. If you have any corrections, please let me know. Have fun!
Intro
E----------------------------------- B--8-------6-------5--5h6--6---5---- G--7-------5-------5--5----5---5---- D--9-------7-------5--5h7--7---5---- A----------------------------------- E-----------------------------------
Play twice, with slight variation.
Another idea for those first two chords is below. I haven�t decided which way I prefer. They�re pretty similar.
E--3-------1------------------------ B--1-------1-------5--5h6--6---5---- G--3-------2-------5--5----5---5---- D----------3-------5--5h7--7---5---- A----------------------------------- E-----------------------------------
Ok, on to the verse. I don�t know all the chord names, so I�ll do my best to give you the picking pattern. It�s basically G,C
[G]I get up in the morning and it�s just another day E------------------------------------------------------- B-12---12-13--x--12---12-13-----x-12-x-13-x-12-x-13----- G-12---12-12--x--12---12-12-----x-12-x-12-x-12-x-12----- D-12---12-14--x--12---12-14-----x-12-x-14-x-12-x-14----- A------------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------------------
Pack up my belongings, [C]I got to get away E------------------------------------------------ B-12---12-13--x-12-x-13----5---5-6--x-5-x-6------ G-12---12-12--x-12-x-12----5---5-5--x-5-x-5------ D-12---12-14--x-12-x-14----5---5-7--x-5-x-7------ A------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------
Play this again until you reach the C chord, then use this ending to bring you into the chorus after (1st verse) I get up in the morning and it's just another day,I pack up my belongings I'v got to get away (2nd verse) Jump into a taxi, and the time is getting tight. I got to keep a moving, I gotta show tonight. well I�m Movin On E-------------------------------------------------------- B----5-----7-----8------9----------10-------11--11--10--- G----5-----7-----8------9----------10--10---10--10--10--- D----5-----7-----8------9----------10--10---12--12--10--- A-------------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------------
moving on from town to town E-------------------------------------------------------- B--7----8----10--x-11-----5--5-6--x-6-x-6--5------6-5---- G--7--7-7----10--x-10-----5--5-5--x-5-x-5--5---5--5-5---- D--7--7-9----10--x-12-----5--5-7--x-7-x-7--5---5--7-5---- A-------------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------------

stop now E------------------------- B--5------6-x-6-x-6---5--- G--5---5--5-x-5-x-5---5--- D--5---5--7-x-7-x-7---5--- A------------------------- E------------------------- Ok, so I didn�t do such a great job of giving the rhythm, but the chords are there. Listen to the record to get the feel.
There is a little riff at the end of the chorus that takes you into the second verse. Here is how I fake it:
E------------------------- B------------------------- G--/9---9-7-5-7-5--------- D--/9---9-7-5-7-5--------- A------------------------- E-------------------------
I also worked out a little bit of the solo. All in C minor pentatonic, I believe.
E--------------------------8----8----11b13------- B--8h11p8--11b13---11-8-11---11------------------ G------------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------------ A------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------

The second verse is all about the airport..
I'm taken to the ticket place, With a half an hour to go.
Headin' for the boardin' gate, I'm feelin' pretty low
Fifteen minutes later, I'm sittin' on my plane
Fasten in safety belt I'm takin' off again...
Chorus
