Blue Jean David Bowie
The Chords are pretty Easy, I'm gonna mostly concentrate on the lead.
Starts with chords:
[CCC] [GG]
|--------| |--------| |--------| |--------| |--------| |--------|
The Verse Riff: (make an open D chord and use your
pinky for the '3' on the first string when needed)
e|---3-2--|-3-2-0-2|---3-2--|----3-2-|-3-2-0-2||:----3-2-:|| B|--3-----|--------|--3-----|--3-----|--------||:--3-----:|| G|-2------|--------|-2------|-2------|--------||:-2------:|| (6x) D|0-------|--------|0-------|0-------|--------||:0-------:|| A|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------||:--------:|| E|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------||:--------:||
1.Blue Jean, I just met a girl named blue jean...
2. One day, I'm gonna write a poem and a letter...
[CCC] [CCC] [GG]
e|---3-2--|-3-2-0-2|--------|---3-2--|--------| B|--3-----|--------|--------|--3-----|--------| G|-2------|--------|--------|-2------|--------| D|0-------|--------|--------|0-------|--------| A|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| E|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
First Saxophone fill (in case you're in one of those lame-o
bands without a Saxophone ;))
1st Sax fill:
e|-12-------|
B|---12b--10|
G|----------| D|----------| A|----------| E|----------|
2nd Sax fill:
(slide up to the last note
and hold it as long as you can...
squeeze tight for sustain!)
e|-12-------|----/17---| B|---12b--10|----------| G|----------|----------| D|----------|----------| A|----------|----------| E|----------|----------|
Chorus:
(no leads here on the original version,
but I put some in as the song is kind of
boring with out them (and if you
don't have a sax in your band)
So I make my F#m and A like this:
[F#m]-2- -[A]X-
[-2-] [-2-]
[-2-] [-2-]
[-4-]-4- [-2-]-0-
-2- -X-
Use your first finger to make the A chord,
and you're right in position for some fills
using your A pentanoic MAJOR scale
[F#m] [A]
||:--------|--------|--------|--------:|| ||:--------|--------|--------|--------:|| ||:--------|--------|--------|--------:|| ||:--------|--------|--------|--------:|| (x4) ||:--------|--------|--------|--------:|| ||:--------|--------|--------|--------:||
Sometime I feel like...
[CCC] [GG]
|--------| |--------| |--------| |--------| |--------| |--------|
OK, now just repeat the Verse and Intro from above again,
but before the chorus use the second sax fill...
Now the bridge:
||:--------|-3------:|| ||:---3-6-3|---3-6-3:|| ||:--------|--------:|| ||:-5------|--------:|| (x2) ||:--------|--------:|| ||:--------|--------:||
And back to the chorus..., and your done. Almost.
End on:
[CCC] [GG] [CCC] [GG] [E]
|--------|--------|--------| |--------|--------|--------| |--------|--------|--------| |--------|--------|--------| |--------|--------|--------| |--------|--------|--------|
