The One Luka Bloom
________________________________ Some Notes: This song is about Shane McGowan, former singer of The Pogues. It's one of the few songs Luka Bloom plays in standard tuning (usually he plays in some open D tuning, DADGAD ). Anyway, the song is in 3/4 measures or something of the kind (6/8?), played pretty fast. The strumming is pretty simple: (d=downstroke, u=upstroke) | | | d dudud dudud... etc. during verse & first line of the chorus. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | dudududududud... etc. during the second line of the chorus. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Emphasize the downstrokes. Beats are indicated underneath the lyrics. The end of the first line of the chorus is played like this: [1)] |Em |Em |Em7 |Em7 Em6 Em | | | 0---0---0----| |0 |0 |3 3---1---0--| | | | 0---0---0---| | | | 2---2---2---| | | | 2---2---2---| | | | 0---0---0---| [d]^ [dudud]^ ^ ^ [dudud]^ ^ ^ [dudud]^ ^ ^ [d]^ [d]^ and the end of the 2nd & 4th lines of the verse like this: [2)] |Am |Am |Em Em6 |Em Em6 | | 0---0-0-0---0---0-0-0-| |1 |1 0---0-0-1---0---0-0-1-| | | 0---0-0-0---0---0-0-0-| | | 2---2-2-2---2---2-2-2-| | | 2---2-2-2---2---2-2-2-| | | 0---0-0-0---0---0-0-0-|
